The italics are Ron's thoughts.

They're in Year 7. -.-

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

"Weasley, you'll be working with Granger." Snape said coldly, everyone had to get partnered up to make a new potion they just learned about.

Hermione smiled, she liked being with Ron, he was her best friend.

Ron smiled back, she was more then a best friend..

Ron started to like her in his sixth year. He would never tell her, though, because he was afraid. He didn't want to lose her as a friend.

He got to up into his daydreaming and he almost put in the wrong ingredients in, if it wasn't for Hermione. "Ron!" he snapped back into reality. "You're suppose to put the unicorn's hair after, not before! Did you even copy the ingredients?" Ron just stared at her, Oh Merlin is she beautiful. Hermione noticed he was staring at her and put her hands on her face. "Is there something on my face?" she asked. He laughed at this. "No, no everythings perfect." he said, and he wasn't lieing, everything was perfect about her.

"10 points from Gryffindor for not doing your work." Snape said to Hermione and Ron without looking at them. Hermione gulped. "We better get working." she said. Ron agreed, he tried to keep up with her, but whats the point? She was the smartest one in the whole class, and Ron was probably the dumbest.

The class was over, finally. Now they can spend the rest of the day at the common room with Harry. Ron knew he could trust Harry, and not get mad (mostly jealous) that he hangs around with Hermione since he was dating his sister. He still wasn't very happy about that, but it was better than him dating Hermione.

They entered the common room and sat down.

"Ron, do you know where Ginny is?" Harry asked. Ron shook his head. "Why you wanna snog her?" Ron joked. Harry smiled when he said it. "That would be quite lovely, yes, but the last time I seen her was this morning." Ron put his hand over his head. "God you're gross, you know shes my sister right?"

"You asked." Harry said, Hermione laughed.at that. Ron looked at her, her hair was right above her waist, her brown eyes full of love and joy. Never dull they were. And that smile..he loved when she smiled. He was caught staring at her again until someone ruined it.

"Hermione, can I talk to you?" Seamus asked.

Quite suprised, Hermione looked at Harry and Ron and got up. "Okay." she said. she turned to face Harry and Ron, "Talk to you later." she said, with that smile on her face and left.

"What does Seamus want with Hermione?" Ron asked, curious. Harry shrugged. "Dunno, hes probably going to ask her out." Harry said as if it was normal to him. But for Ron, it wasn't. "What?!" he cried. "Yeah.." Harry said and saw the look upon Rons face, Harry smiled. "I think you like her." Harry said. It was true, he did, he loved her, but he wasn't going to tell Harry..yet. Ron hestitated for a moment and then said. "No." Ron lied. "Oh c'mon I saw how you were staring at her before. You fancy Hermione!" Harry said as if he just won something. Ron closed his eyes, took a deep breathe and calmy said "No."

Harry rolled his eyes. "Whatever." Harry said. Good timing, Hermione came back in with a bigger smile on her face if possible. "What happened?" Harry asked. "He asked me out!" Hermione yelled with excitement. Ron made fists. I am so going to kill him.. I'm angry...even jealous? No! Not jealous... "And you said yes?" Harry asked. And without Hermione answering, Ron answered for her. "Of course she did!" he said, very angry. "Is there something wrong?" Hermione asked Ron. Ron didn't want to look at her but he did anyways, but then quickly looked back down. "No." he lied again, everything was wrong. "I think I'm going to go rest." he quietly said. "Rest? Its only two more hours till we have dinner." Hermione said, pointing at the clock. "Wake me up, then." Ron said while going upstairs.

A few moments later, Hermione asked. "Whats wrong with him?" Hermione asked. "I don't know." Harry said, the truth was, he did know. Ron was angry that Seamus asked Hermione out and she said yes. He could tell, even if he said he was lying. Hermione was confused. " I hope he'll be alright.." Hermione said, she hated seeing him angry or upset. "He will, I'll talk to him later." Harry said, he couldn't help but feel really sorry, he knew how Ron felt when he asked Cho to the ball and she said she was already going with someone else.

It was almost thirty minutes till dinner when Hermione told Harry to get Ron up, and he did so.

Harry went into the boys dorm, and surpisingly, he was awake. "You didn't go to sleep?" Harry asked, this startled him. "No." he said, still not looking at him. "I'm sorry." Harry said, he meant it. Ron frowned. "Yeah." he mumbled.

They both came downstairs seeing Hermione ready. "How was your sleep?" Hermione asked, hoping he was better. "Fine." Ron lied, and Harry knew he was lying too.

They all went down to the Great Hall and managed to get some food, it was a busy day today.

"Hermione, come with us!" Seamus yelled in back of them, they all turned around, he was with Dean Thomas. "C'mon Hermione!" Seamus got impatient. Hermione quickly waved goodbye to Ron and Harry and ran off to Dean and Seamus. Ron gave Seamus a dirty look, but he didn't notice it.

"Hes taking her away from us!" Ron said as they both were heading back to the common room. "Calm down Ron, he only did it once." Harry said. "But hes going to keep doing it until she just follows them! And did you see how commanding he was? Ugh!" Ron said, Harry silently laughed at this.

Ron and Harry were playing wizards chess ( Ron, non-surprisingly winning) until a redheaded girl came in the room.

"Ginny!" Harry said, as he went up to kiss her. Ron put his hand on his head and sighed, right now wasn't the time to see Harry snogging his sister.

Ginny stopped the kiss and asked both of them "Wheres Hermione?"

"On a date with her boyfriend." Ron said, annoyed. Ginny gave a confused look. "With who?" she asked. "Seamus." Harry said since Ron didn't. "What?!" she cried. "I hate him too." Ron said. "No, its just..she tells me everything, and she told me who she liked, and it definitely wasn't him." Ginny said, Ron looked at her. "Who did she say she liked?" he got his hopes high. "I don't tell secrets unless they're already said." Ginny said, this mad Ron more angry. "Ginny, it would be smart if you just at least told us." Harry said. "I'm sorry, I just can't, she told me not too." Ginny said, feeling bad. Ron sighed. "Whatever."

"Whatever what?" Hermione came in. "Great timing." Ginny said. "How was you're little date with you're future husband?" Ron said annoyed. Hermione chuckled, and didn't noticed how he was angry. "Hes not my future husband, Ron." Ron looked down. "That would kill me." he mumbled so only he can hear. "Hermione! I didn't know you liked Seamus!" Ginny said. Hermione gave a little smile. "Yeah, I just came back to get ready, hes taking me out." Hermione said as now a bigger smile went on her face, and a much anger one on Ron. "What time are you coming back?" Ron asked. "I don't know, I guess around ten. Why do you care?" Hermione asked. Because I care so much for you. "Just curious." Ron answered. Hermione quickly went up to the girls dorm to change, and when she came back her hair was in a ponytail, with her black dress that went with her just so perfectly. Shes beautiful. Ron bit his lip. "Bye guys!" she said as she got her purse and ran out.

Ron wasn't going asleep until she came back. He wouldn't.
