A/N: Wow! That took awhile! I went back through and read my original first chapter. It really lacked the detail I wanted it to have. So, here is the new version. It's still the same story line just with a little more detail. Thanks to everyone who reviewed! They made me sooo happy:big grin: Well, read & review! They make me sooo happy!

Harry, Ginny, and Ron were sitting in the common room. Actually, Ron was pacing the room nervously, while Harry and Ginny sat in the lumpy recliners close to the fire.

"Ron, would you please sit down?" asked Harry. "Your making me nervous. She'll be here mate, trust me."

"What if she doesn't like me like that? What if she says no? She's the only reason I get up in the morning." Ron stated, eyeing his best friend and little sister for any clues to what they were thinking. He was trying to be logical about this and make sure he had thought of every possible reason she would say no, now sitting on the couch.

"Do you remember us talking in the Great Hall yesterday?" said Ginny, looking at her brother like he was crazy. "How can he not see that she likes him as much as he likes her?" the young redhead thought to herself.

"Yeah." Ron said, now trying to recall exactly what had happened.

START FLASHBACK

"Harry! Ginny! I need your help!" exclaimed a breathless Ron, sitting down and trying hard to catch his breath. He had just spent the last hour trying to figure out the perfect way to tell Hermione how much he cared about her.

"What's up?" Ginny asked looking at him suspiciously.

"I'm going to do it." Ron said his breathing now back to normal

"Going to do what?" said Harry looking up from his school work

"Tell Hermione how I feel about her. I've been walking the grounds for awhile and I think I found the perfect way to do it."

"Ohhhhh! How?" Ginny squealed, starting to get all girly on them

"I was thinking a picnic but I don't know exactly where," he said looking ashamed.

"Why not have her pick the spot? That would be different and original." said Harry, trying to refocus his attention on his work.

"Brilliant! Why couldn't I think of that?" Ron said

"I can't believe your actually going to do it, after all these years and all the summers she's spent at the Burrow." Ginny said.

"I can't either, but Gin, I need some help." Ron said, turning to his left to look at his sister.

"Anything, as long as it will get the two of you together once and for all." she said trying not to roll her eyes or anything like that.

"Do you know Hermione's favorite flowers? I thought that would be a nice thing to do." he said, his ears trying to tell on him.

"Awwww! That would be totally sweet! Her favorite flowers are pink tulips." she said, now grinning from ear to ear.

"Well mate, before you lose your courage, here she comes. It's now or never." Harry said motioning to the stairs leading into the Great Hall.

Ron stood and slowly walked over to Hermione. "Hello Hermione." he said his voice cracking with every word.

"Hey Ron! What's up?" she said.

"Well...ummmm...I was kinda wondering if you would...ummmm... go on a pi..pic...picnic with me tomorrow." he said, his face now a deep shade of crimson from messing it up so bad.

"Finally," thought Hermione. "I would be honored to go on a picnic with you." she said, her face turning a light shade of pink.

"Wow." he said to himself. "That's great," he said "So how about I meet you in the common room about 2 o'clock?"

"2 would be great." she said, nodding her head in agreement.

"Okay. So I'll see you in the common room later." he said, turning to leave

"Yeah. See you." she said, her stomach now doing a hundred little flips. She felt like running up to the staff table and yelling to everyone that Ronold Weasley, her Ron, had just asked her out. Her better judgement kept her from doing so though. She quickly regained her composer and joined Harry & Ginny at the Gryffindor table.

END FLASHBACK

"It's 1:55; where could she be?" said Ron who was again standing and pacing the common room.

"She'll be here,"said Ginny, "I was just up. It's just taking here longer than she expected," now walking across the common room back to herplace in the chair.

Harry let out a sigh. He wished his friends would just figure out what everyone else already knew. Just then they heard a door open and close. Ron looked up to the stairs. There was Hermione, looking more beautiful to him then she had the night of the Yule Ball.

"Wow! Hermione you look amazing." Ron, his breath taken away, said, his ears turning the famous shade of red.

"Thanks." she whispered, blushing. "So where exactly are we going for this picnic?"

"Well that's part of the fun. I thought the lake was going to be too crowed so I thought you should pick the spot" he said hoping he was doing his best to remain calm.

"Oh! Hmmmmm, how about the quiddich pitch. No one should be there unless someone is practicing, but the next match isn't for two weeks." she said wondering if he was picking up on how hard she was trying to learn the sport he so dearly loved.

"I now know why I love this girl so much. It's like she can read my mind. The quiddich pitch! Why didn't I think of that?" he thought to himself. "That sounds perfect," he said.

"So, shall we?" she said motioning to the portrait hole.

Ron grabbed the picnic basket and blanket, waved good bye to his best friend and sister giving them a big grin, and followed Hermione to the door.

A/N: There's the new chapter 1. I actually put chapters 1 & 2 together. Hope that's ok with everyone. Incase your reading this for the first time pink tulips are my favorite flowers so don't hound me about where J.K. wrote it because she didn't. (That I know of!) I have a small problem I hope you guys can help me with. The original chapter 3 had a scene with Draco in it. I want to know if you guys want me to keep it. It won't change the story if I take it out. Please R&R and let me know!
