I'm back! :D
She couldn't believe it. She had got prefect. Hermione Jean Granger, she, herself, got prefect. If she was being honest, she had kind of been expecting it, deep down, but she would never admit it to herself or anyone else. She was grinning like an idiot, Hedwig on her shoulder, walking down to the kitchen to write a letter to her parents. Prefect was something they would understand, after all.
She heard footsteps coming up the stairs, and lightened the grin just a bit. She stepped aside to let the person pass her, and Ron ran right into her.
"Oh, Hermione," Ron stopped and took a step back. "Sorry. Why do you have Hedwig?" He asked.
"Harry let me borrow her; I'm going to write to my parents. Prefect, that's something they'll understand."
"Yeah, right. Prefect… I still can't believe Dumbledore made me prefect." He said in awe.
"Of course he made you Prefect, why wouldn't he?"
"Um, I don't know, plenty of reasons." Ron was doubting himself again, which Hermione couldn't stand. Couldn't he see how brilliant he was?
"Ron, he obviously made you Prefect for a reason, Dumbledore wouldn't entrust such a high position to just anybody."
Ron smiled. "You sound like Percy."
Hermione huffed.
"I mean that as a good thing." He said quickly, realizing what he had just said.
Hermione rolled her eyes. "Well, I think you'll do great. And…" Hermione gathered her courage and gave Ron a quick peck on the cheek. "I'm really proud of you."
Ron cleared his throat, and could feel his ears turning red. "Um… Thanks."
"Sure. Well, I've got to go send this letter. See you later." Hermione smiled and rushed past Ron down the stairs.
Ron touched his cheek; he couldn't believe what had just happened. Hermione Granger had kissed him. He shook his head, clearing his mind. It was just a peck on the cheek.
He continued going back up the stairs to his and Harry's room, thoughts of the new broomstick he would be receiving soon back in his head.
THE END
I was reading OoTP (for the 100th time :P) and I got to the part where Ron and Hermione became prefects. I just thought, there really wasn't a moment between the two of them, other than Hermione's initial surprise. It made sense, since the POV is Harry's, but it got me thinking. And this is what you get :D Hope you liked it. Review please!
