Please R&R! Review if you have read the HP series more than once!
Also, the chapters are kind of short, but there are quite a few chapters.
Set in third year:
"GET THAT THING AWAY FROM SCABBERS!" Ron yelled angrily at Hermione, while Crookshanks chased after Scabbers.
"Ron, calm down, it's in his nature to chase rats, what do you want me to do about it?"
"GET IT OFF SCABBERS!" Ron yelled. The whole common room was now watching Ron yell at Hermione.
Hermione called Crookshanks, picked him up, and walked up to the girls' dormitory with tears in her eyes.
"I think you made her cry, Ron," Harry whispered to him. "You didn't have to be so mean to her."
Ron looked so angry that Harry wasn't sure that he had heard him. Ron stormed up the spiral staircase, Harry right behind him.
Harry and Ron did not talk to each other anymore that night. Harry still thought Ron had been a little too harsh to Hermione, but didn't dare to bring it up again.

"Harry, can I have a word with yeh?" Hagrid asked him after Care of Magical Creatures.
Harry nodded and followed Hagrid into his hut, shutting the door behind him.
"Well, I just wanted ter talk ter yeh abou' Hermione," Hagrid said.
"What is it?" Harry asked. He was very concerned; Hermione had been rather quiet the last couple of days.
"Well, she came to me hut cryin' last night, and, well, if I tell you this, Harry, yeh can't tell Ron."
"Er-okay," Harry said.
"Well, she told me tha' Ron wasn't bein' very nice ter her, and she got really upset, because, yeh know, she likes him," Hagrid explained, hoping Harry would understand.
Harry, however, was confused. "Hagrid, do you mean that Hermione has a- a crush on Ron?"
Hagrid nodded.
Harry smiled. "Ron likes her too. He told me last year when Hermione got petrified. He was crying in bed, and when I asked him why he was upset, he told me that he loved her."
Hagrid smiled too. "I knew yeh'd understand, Harry."
Harry stood up. "I am going to make them realize that they both love each other, Hagrid. I promise."
And he ran back up to the castle.
