Just ask
Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter... for now… MWA HA HA!!!!
It was settled then. Ron would just go over to her and ask.
'Easy.'
'Simple.'
'Flawless.'
'No, not flawless, she could say no.'
'Why would she say no?'
'Why wouldn't she?'
'You're an idiot, go talk to Harry.'
'Did you just call me an idiot!?'
'No, you just called you an idiot. I'm you!'
'Riiiiiiight...'
Ron dashed up to his room to find Harry reading a Quidditch Magazine, "Hey, Harry! Could I ask you something."
"If you ask me if I'm planning to date Ginny again, then break her heart one more time, I swear I'll-"
"No! I, err... I was going to ask about asking Hermione to the wedding..."
"You want me to date Hermione!" Harry cried.
"No-!"
"Ew! She's like my sister-"
"I know-"
"-And not only did I just get out of a relationship, I thought you fancied her, but-" Harry ranted on.
"I do fancy her!"
"-Obviously, I was wrong-"
"Harry!"
But Harry couldn't stop now, he was on a roll, "-but all the signs pointed to it-"
"Harry!"
"...What's with you?! You've liked her for ages, haven't you?-"
"HARRY! I DO FANCY HERMIONE! WOULD YOU SHUT UP!?" Ron shouted. Harry shut up and Ron's face was now a deep red. "W-was I too loud?"
"Well, yeah. You're lucky the girls are out…"
Ron sighed and sat down on his bed, his head in his hands, "I was going to ask her to go to the wedding with me... I think I'm in love with her," he whispered.
If Ron expected Harry to do anything it wasn't what he did. Harry burst out laughing, "Well, thank you, Mr Obvious."
Ron looked up, "Huh?"
"Are you telling me you just realised you loved her? I think there is people all over the world know! I knew something was up since fourth year, but it was clear you're in love since last year!"
Ron didn't know what to say, so he said. "Oh..."
"But don't hurt her again, like I said, she's like my sister."
"Tell you what, Harry. You can have my sister... again, if I can have yours."
Harry smiled, "Deal. Now how're you going to ask her?"
"Well... that's the problem..."
"I dunno, why don't you just... ask?"
"Just... ask!?" Ron squeaked.
"Just ask." confirmed Harry.
"Just ask!?"
"Just ask." Harry repeated, getting annoyed.
"Just-"
"YES!" Harry shouted frustrated.
"I see." Ron announced stroking his chin.
Harry rolled his eyes and left the room then came back, "I was here first, get lost." he jerked him thumb towards the door.
"It's my room!" Ron said.
"I'll describe what it's like to kiss Ginny!"
"You wouldn't!" Ron cried, his eyes widening.
"Well," Harry cleared his throat. "I leaned in and-"
"STOP! OKAY!! I surrender..." Ron said, covering his ears in horror. He looked Harry up and down disgustedly, "You are sick. Sick and cruel. Sick and cruel is what you are!"
"Yeah, yeah, whatever." Harry said lying down.
That evening Ron stood in his room and practised in front of Harry how he was going to ask.
"Hermione, how about we go to the wedding together?"
"Too direct." Harry said.
"Hey, Hermione. I was wondering; only if you want, of course, I mean it would suck if you said no… but-
"Ron, get to the point!" Harry commanded.
"If you'd like, I mean, I don't know if you'd like, that's why I'm asking, to see if you'd like-
"Ron!"
"To go to the wedding with me?" Ron finished.
"Way too desperate… Make it simple."
"Hermione. You. Me. Bill and Fleur's wedding?"
Harry responded in falling of the bed laughing.
Ron scowled then smiled, "Well, there's always the Harry approach, 'Wannagoweddingwimme'?"
Harry shut up and glared at him, "Next one, Weasley."
"Hey, I was wondering if you'd… like to go to the wedding with me?"
Harry smiled, "As much as I'd love to," he shook his head. "I just don't lean that way."
Hey, Hermione, I was wondering if you'd like to go to the wedding with me?
That was all he had to say. She would say yes. Or she would say no. But all he had to do was say those… 15 little words.
"Hey, Hermione…" Ron started.
"Oh hello, Ron." She said glancing up from her book.
"Hey…" Ron repeated.
"Yes?"
"Yep…"
"Well, I don't mean to be rude but, I have some books I need to read-"
"I was wondering if you'd like to go to the wedding with me?" Ron blurted out.
"What?" Hermione asked, taken by obvious surprise, "Y-you mean like… a date?"
"You could call it that…" Ron said quietly, looking down.
"I'd love to!" said Hermione enthusiastically.
Ron looked up, "Really?"
"Yes, I would." Ron smiled and Hermione smiled back, not breaking eye contact until-
"Aw, Fred, isn't this just the cutest moment!" George's voice said from the door.
They turned around to see Fred and George staring at them, grinning. Ron and Hermione both went bright red.
"Take a picture, it'll last longer." Hermione said embarrassed.
"You're right! We should take a picture!" Fred concluded. He conjured up a camera.
Click.
"I think Mum would like to know about this arrangement, don't you think so?" George asked.
"No, I think everybody should know!" Fred replied.
"You're right! We'll tell people at the shop too…" George said excitedly.
"And hang up the photo!" Fred added.
"No you wont!" Hermione said, blushing.
"Sure we will!" with that the two dashed out of the room with Ron close behind.
"Come back here!" Ron said, chasing them, desperately trying to stop them and grab the camera, but it was too…
"MUM! RON AND HERMIONE ARE GOING TO THE WEDDING TOGETHER!" … Late.
