A regular day in Snape's potion class. All of a sudden the peace was disturbed. Ron yelled from across the room "HERMIONE"
"WHAT, Ronald?"
"CAN YOU HELP ME"
"ONLY IF YOU STOP YELLING"
She moved over to his table.
"Sorry about the yelling, um... I have no idea how to do this potion and I need to do well in this class"
She looked at his face. He really did need help. "Okay, she started," lowering her voice so Snape wouldnt call them out "what have you done so far?"
"I have got the spoon"
She didn't know whether to laugh or not. "Well, that's a good start I suppose. Only you'll need your knife to cut up these roots"
"Oh so I really have done nothing so far"
"That's correct"
"Oh well.. I will get the knifeā¦Here."
"Now cut up the roots"
"Like this?" Ron asked - cuting them wrong
Hermione sighed. "No...they need to be equal sizes"
"What does it even matter?" Ron said, geting annoyed how he supposedly did nothing right.
"Well, if you want to pass, it matters"
"Ugh, i hate potions"
Hermione sighed again. "I know it's challenging, but you can do it."
"But im not smart like you!" ron said geting angry
"It's not about being smart, it's about following directions" but Hermione was still flattered by the compliment
"Still, I dont know how you still manage to do well in all your classes and still remain absolutely amazing at the same time" Ron said, blushing after having said the last part
Hermione blushed too. "What...what brought that on?"
"What.. Oh um... Im just saying what should be said""
"Well...thanks." she was still blushing
"Well thanks for helping me, i know you could be in troble for this"
"Don't mention it, your pass is worth more than a lousy detention"
"But you are Hermione Granger! if you get a detention, pigs would fly!"
"Ron, you know plenty well I've been in detention before...once." She couldn't help it, she smirked.
"What? when!"
"In our first year, don't you remember? Sneaking in that dragon?"
"I know, I know, I just mean, ugh!" He took a deep breath. "Hermione do you still have feelings for Victor Krum?"
She nearly dropped the ingredients she was holding. "I...what?"
"You remmber, Krum.. From durnstrum. You guys when to the yule ball together. Do you still have feeling for him?"
"No, I suppose I don't..."
"Oh, good" Ron didn't hide the happiness in his words
Hermione smiled nervously.
"So Hermione... I could really use the extra help.. can you study with me this weekend?"
"I'd... love to."
"Good, now come on, Snape said we can finsh this potion later, lets get the bloody hell out of here"
They went back to the common room.
"So Hermione" Ron started up awkwardly again
"Yes?"
I dont know. Tell me about yourself"
: She laughed. "You've known me for years"
"But do I know you? Do i know THE HERMIONE GRANGER"
She laughed again "What more do you want to know?"
"What is your favorite color?"
"Blue"
"Favorite food?"
"Chocolate"
"Favorite person?"
She blushed
"Well?"
"You" she finally admitted.
"You're my favorite person too"
