'Listen I don't wanna go down to breakfast, I'll meet you in class.' She muttered
'Why don't you want to go?' he asked
Hermione felt herself blush 'Malfoy' she whispered
'I'll take care of him' Harry muttered to her.
They got to the Great Hall just as it opened, Hermione went to walk in the door and someone shoved her out of the way 'Outta my way MUDBLOOD!' came Draco Malfoy's voice. Harry grabbed Draco by the collar of his robes (A/N- I don't know if robes have collars!) and held him up, so his feet were a few inches above the carpet. Malfoy was as white as a ghost but he still had a sly, smirk across his face.
'Sticking up for your little Mudblood girlfriend are we Potty?'
'You stinking piece of Slytherin scum, don't talk to Hermione like that!' Harry fumed as he dropped Malfoy in front of an old creaking suit of armour. Harry took Hermione's hand and led her into the Great Hall.

It was the day before Halloween, it was also Hermione's birthday. She looked at her calender and let out a cry, It couldn't be her birthday! Thank god no one knew! All of a sudden Harry burst through the door and started singing 'Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday dear Hermione! Happy Birthday to YOU!!!!!'
Hermione burst out laughing, Harry ran over and jumped onto Hermione's bed.
'Here!' he panted, as he held out a little box covered in black velvet. She opened it, inside was a red ruby (about the size of a 5c coin), on a delicate, silver chain.
'Oh Harry! It's beautiful! But where did you get it?' she gasped
'It was my mother's' he whispered in her ear, as he closed the clasp behind her neck. As the clasp locked shut, the ruby glowed purple.
'Oh it's beautiful!'
Harry grinned at her 'Not as beautiful as you!'
'Your so corny!' she giggled as she pushed Harry outside so she could get changed.
A few minutes later Harry and Hermione and Harry were sitting in the common room. Ron stormed in 'I HAD DETENTION AND WERE HAVE YOU TWO BEEN!?!' he shouted 'WE WERE GOING TO MEET IN FRONT OF THE DOORS AFTER MY DETENTION!'
Hermione got to her feet 'Oh we're sorry Ron!'
'We?' he asked stupidly
'Harry and I!' she said as Harry grabbed her and pulled her into his lap.
'HARRY! HOW COULD YOU!' Ron yelled and stormed up the steps into the boys dorm.
Hermione looked at Harry 'What was that about?'
Harry blushed deep crimson 'nothing' he muttered.
Harry ran up into the boys dorm after Ron and Hermione was left sitting in the common room wondering what they were up to!

HARRY'S POV
I knew that Ron would be really annoyed with me but I didn't care! A few weeks ago Ron and I couldn't get to sleep, so sat up and talked.

'So who do like Harry?'
'Promise you won't laugh!'
'Ok, cross my heart!'
'Hermione!'
'REALLY! Me too!'
'Oh.'
Ron ran his hand through his hair 'I'm gonna ask her out soon!'
Great! Harry thought. Just Great!

It's not my fault! Ron is just being an obnoxious little prat!
'Um… Ron?' Harry asked cautiously
'Get lost! I don't want to talk to you!' Ron spat from the window
'Look I'm sorry!'
'I'm sick of it Harry! You are always getting the attention and all the fame, fortune and girls! I am sick of just being 'Harry Potter's friend'! You don't understand!' Ron shouted
'Look I don't like it! I DIDN'T ASK TO BE FAMOUS! I just wanna be a normal wizard! I would swap with you any day! To have a big, happy family like you!' Harry shouted back
'HARRY STOP BEING SUCH A JERK!' Ron shouted
'I'M NOT THE ONE BEING A JERK RON!' Harry shouted back at him
'JUST GET LOST! DON'T TALK TO ME OK!' Ron shouted
'FINE RON! YOU CAN GO FUCK YOURSELF FOR ALL I CARE!' Harry shouted as he stormed out of the room.
A/N- I OWN NOTHING!
