Obliviously Correct

Chapter 3: Promises

Hermione's POV

"Ronald that was foolish of you, you know better than that you could have been hurt or worse!" I scolded Ron who seemed to be taking very little interest in his bloodied nose or anything I was saying which in the broad scheme of things was normal.

After moments of walking and scolding something must have snapped.

"Hermione please shut up!" I blinked a fine time for him to want to bicker.

"I only did it because I'm sick of those slimy gits always pushing you around, and if your not going to stand up to them I will" His response stunned me beyond measure.

"Well that's not the…totally missed the…I mean I'm touched Ronald but you can't just dive headfirst into every situation!" I exclaimed clearly flustered and softening my tone a little. Ron's face darkened.

"Maybe not but I can slam my head into that rat faced ba-"

"Ron! Language!" I exclaimed causing him to groan.

"Oh Hermione your worse than my mum" Hermione ground her teeth dangerously.

"It's improper behaviour to curse in front of a lady" I promptly informed him.

"Well if one turns up I won't bloody swear ok?" I let my mouth hang open.

"There is one here Ronald!" I insisted hotly.

"But Hermione there's only the two of us here and I'm certain that I'm a bloke" I flustered again.

"You rude ill mannered-"

I was cut short by Ron's cheeky grin causing me to smirk against my will.

"You prat Ronald" I said still smirking.

Ron chuckled and looked at me.

"Why do you call me Ronald?" he asked curiously.

"Because it's your name and I've been brought up to understand that you call someone by their full name not a shortened version because that's lazy" sounding like a dictionary as usual I thought miserably.

"Well I tell you what, I'll stop diving into fights headfirst if you call me Ron from now on" Ron offered, I smiled gently to myself.

"Ok it's a date" I said blissfully unaware of my slip of the tongue.

"Date?" Ron asked his brow furrowed in confusion.

"Deal" I said realising what I had said.

"You said date, It's a date you said" I tried to be clever.

"No I didn't I said it's a deal" I insisted.

"I must be going bonkers I could have sworn you said date" Ron tilted his head back as a fresh wave of blood raced from his nose.

"Ron why do you act different when we're alone than you do around other people?" I asked the question lingering in my mind for a good few days now.

Ron pulled a pained expression.

"I'm a bloke" he said simply. I shrugged my shoulders fighting a laugh.

"I supposed I should have guessed that" I teased.

"Well would you act like yourself more often?" I pleaded.

Ron looked at me the blue dazzling eyes piercing my soul.

"Well ok but I have my reputation to uphold" he mimicked wiping some dust of his shoulder.

"I think you did that when you went into the chamber of secrets and got taken to the bottom of the lake and helped save the philosophers stone" I grinned.

There was silence for a while.

"Ron thank you" I said softly almost inaudibly and I feared he never heard me.

"What for?" Ron grunted puzzled.

"F… for sticking up for me in potions" I beamed at him.

"Nobody ever sticks up for me and I think it was very brave….stupid, foolhardy…but brave" I breathed. Ron flushed.

"Yep that's me stupid, foolhardy covers me great" Ron grinned at me still blushing. We chuckled all the way to the hospital wing. It really was very sweet of Ron to stick up for me, I mean I had no idea he would get hurt in this way but I knew that he made my stomach lurch at times. And a majority of the time he was an insufferable prat, but deep down he was a really sweet guy, it must be a Weasley thing, I'd known Percy act stupidly trying to get his prefects badge back and a number of other quirky things. And that was coming from me, I got on best with Percy. Fred and George always annoyed me and at first I disliked them but they grow on you now I laugh at their jokes and despite their disruptive pranks they were gems.

Bill and Charley on the first meeting I found out were rather peculiar in the sense that they liked danger. Bill for Gringotts and Charley playing with dragons.

Ginny was a tom boy no doubt but she could be such a girl at times.

And Ron was well…. He was Ron.

Awoooooooo! Hope you liked this chapter because next one is from Ron's POV in the hospital wing, and maybe he notices a few things ;).

Until next time my dear readers REVIEW!
