Ron's POV

I don't know what I did to deserve such good karma, but I'm bloody glad I did it! I get to be Hermione's boyfriend! ...Fake boyfriend of course. After a little practice with Hermione, wink wink, I casually walked back to the common room to find Harry and finish our game of chess. I looked around the room, which was now clad in Gryffindor colors, and found Harry lying on the couch snogging my sister. Egh...

"YOU HAVE THREE SECONDS TO GET YOUR ARSE OFF THE COUCH AND STOP SNOGGING MY SISTER. 3...2...1." I strolled over to the couch and yanked Harry by the arm, causing Ginny and himself to topple off the couch and onto the ground with a loud thump.

"Easy, mate!" Harry called as he rubbed the back of his neck.

"You know, you probably wouldn't be so mad if you had actually gotten some stones and asked Hermione out after you kissed her!" Ginny piped in angrily.

"Piss off, Ginny. Harry, I need to see you upstairs. I'm not in the mood for chess anymore." I grumbled and retreated back to the winding staircase and up to our dorm. I sat on my bed for a few moments, tapping my foot anxiously, before Harry appeared in the doorway.

"What do you need?"

"Shut the door!" I yelped and Harry shot me a curious look. But nevertheless, he shut the door and walked over to his bed to lay down.

"Now what's so important that you had to drag me up here?"

I took a deep breath through my nose and exhaled through my mouth, "Hermione asked me to be her boyfriend."

"She what!" Harry yelled and jumped off the bed in surprise. I just nodded at him with a small smile. "Congratulations, mate."

"Thanks, but it's not as awesome as it sounds." I began and explained the whole thing to Harry. He waited patiently, listening to the story and nodding occasionally.

"So you're not really her boyfriend. You just have to act like it?" Harry asked slowly and I nodded. "Wow. Well, a word of advice- by the end of this whole thing, make sure it's not fake anymore."

And with that, Harry got up and walked out of the room, leaving me to ponder what he just said.

The next morning, I marched up the stairs to Hermione and Ginny's room. I rapped lightly on their door before Hermione came and opened it, looking surprised... and beautiful...

"Ron! Hey, what are you doing here?"

"Well, I'm heading off to breakfast and decided to see if you wanted to come. After all, it is what a good boyfriend would do." I said with a smile. She smiled back and peaked at Ginny.

"Let me get my backpack, then we can go." I nodded and waited outside the door while she gathered her things. I could hear a hushed conversation going on in the room, but I couldn't make out the words. A few seconds later, she appeared at the door with her backpack slung over her shoulder.

"Ready to go?" She nodded and I slipped my hand into hers. I watched as a faint blush spread across her cheeks.

"Thanks for doing this, by the way." Hermione spoke as we made our way through the quad and towards the dining hall. "I know you would much rather be off flirting with the Bulgarian girls."

"That's not true. I'm perfectly content right here with you." I whispered. She looked up at me and smiled sheepishly. The rest of our walk to the dining hall with filled with a comfortable silence. I held the door open for her and she thanked me. Inside the large room were rows upon rows of long tables. We found ours and walked to sit by Neville and Harry- Ginny was still in her dorm getting ready.

"Hey guys! I see the rumors are true?" Neville asked and nodded towards our hands. We looked at him curiously. "Everyone's saying you two are together! Why didn't you tell me?"

"It's..."

"New." Hermione finished for me.

"We only started dating not too long ago." I added.

"Oh, well finally! We've all known that you guys like each other! It's been obvious for years! And we were all shocked when Ron didn't tell you he loved you after you guys kissed." Neville said. I felt my face turn a deep scarlet and I couldn't even look at Hermione. Bloody hell, Neville...

Harry began snickering and smirking at us. I just sat down in the seat next to Hermione and kept my eyes on my food.

About halfway through breakfast, someone walked over to us. None other than Viktor Krum.
"Hello, Hermione. Ron." He said casually with a smug smile.

"Hello Viktor." Hermione's voice was shaky, so I gave her hand a little squeeze under the table.

"You know, after you told me about you and Weasel here, I asked a few of the Hogwarts students about it. They had no clue what I was talking about! Now if you ask me, that's kind of odd. So, tell the truth- you two aren't really dating."

"I don't know what you're on about, Viktor, but Hermione and I really are dating." I said and turned to face him.

He just smirked at me and folded his arms across his chest. "Prove it."

I was about to respond when Hermione spun me around to face her and planted her lips on mine. After a few shocked seconds, I snogged her back. Her lips were soft and tasted like honey. I brushed my tongue across her bottom lip and her lips parted slightly, granting me entrance. Our tongues fought for dominance and it was complete bliss.

In the background, I could hear Harry saying, "Hello? Guys! He left! You can quit it now!" But we ignored him and kept snogging until our lungs burned and we pulled away for air.
"Finally! He's been gone for minutes now!" Harry sighed. We both smiled sheepishly and our cheeks flushed.

"Sorry." We both whispered quietly. As we were eating, I kept glancing over at Hermione and our eyes locked. I smiled slightly at her and she returned it before looking back to her plate with pink cheeks.
