Reasons
Chapter 2
A/N: I do not own Ron or Hermione, but it would be kool. Though I would not be able to manipulte them like Jowling. Give it up for her! I have people clapping and screaming in my mind.

Ginny and Hermione were in the girls' dorm putting nail polish on their toe nails. Ginny was trying to explain the importance of Quidditch, when all of a sudden she asked, "Why don't you ask him out?"
Hermione confused, "Who?"
Ginny annoyed, "Ron, you know the guy you have a crush on."
Hermione yelled, "I DO NOT HAVE A CRUSH ON RON!"
Ginny clamped Hermione's mouth, "Shh! You don't have to alert the whole bloody castle!"
Ginny took her hand off of Hermione's mouth.
But before Hermione could mention that she did not want Ginny's hand on her mouth, or congratulate Ginny on her rose petal perfume floating off her wrist, Ginny said, "How about this? If I can give you ten reasons why you like Ron on the top of my head yo have to snog Ron. If I can't then I'll give you twenty Galleons."
Hermione thinking there was no way Ginny could do this agreed.
"I'll tell you then.
1. You fight with him about things that make no sense.
2. You deny it.
3. You hated it when Lavender and Ron were snogging the whole bloody time."
"Come on. That was really gross."
"Still it was jealousy. Besides you also went after him with that flock of birds."
"Those were some good bids weren't they?" Hermione seemed to ddrift back, and remember that day. Hermione quickly added another comment, "Not that I did it for that reason."
"Whateva.
4. You stare at him for a long time.
5. You love giving him hugs. May I mention much too many to be friendly?"
Ginny paused here waiting for Hermione to retort. Silence.
Eer, I do not love Ron. Only a complete idiot would love Ron, and I'm not an idiot. I had more 'Oustandings' on my O.W.L.s than anyone in my year. Hell would freeze over before I ever love Ron. Not that Ron is bad or anything. As a friend I hope he finds the one for him, just not me, Hermione's thoughts went wild.
"6. You ask me about Ron alot.
7. You always comfort Ron when he is angry or sad."
"But I do that to Harry too."
"True, but this proves all the other points more.
8. Did I say that you hate Lavender?"
Hermione thought, I think you said someting like that before. Hate. Hate. It's more like a very strong STRONG dislike, but not hate. It wounds me so that you would think so. No matter how close to the truth that happens to be.
Ginny's voice continued, of corse not hearing 'Mione's thoughts.
"9. You think his face is so adorable."
I may have mentioned that, but as a total third party, Hermione thought on.
"10. And right now, you're probably starting to think that I may just be right."
"But I really don't like Ron like that!"
As Ginny was searching through her trunk for something, at the foot of the bed, she said, "There you go denying it again."
Hermione sighed, and with wide eyes asked, "What are you doing?" For Ginny was walking back towards Hermione with a tube of lipstick in her hand.
You remember the deal. Better start puckering up, lover girl."
