Hermione was practicing a spell in the library. She got frustrated when she couldn't get something right. It was early in the morning and she hasn't seen Ginny since last night.
Hermione read the book over and over. "Okay, I'm moving the wand right. How am I not getting this?"
She let out a big sigh. While she was resting her head, she saw Mr. Weasley. He seemed to be putting books back in the right place. Hermione closed her book and went over the aisle where he was. She wanted to walk past him in hopes of getting his attention.
She walked by and looked the other way. "Granger?"
Hermione smiled to herself and walked backwards. "Oh, hi! What are you doing here?" For some reason, she felt like being flirtatious to him. It was probably from the party last night.
He clutched a book in his hand. "I'm just helping the librarian sort the books. It's a big library after all."
She nodded, "Yeah, it's really big. So, is this what you do a lot? Or.." she awkwardly motioned with her hands.
Ron chuckled, "Yeah, I actually do a lot of stuff other than teaching. I help around the library, I work at the Ministry of Magic-"
"Wait, you work there?" Hermione said stunned.
"Yeah, I'm an Auror there." He said proudly.
"Wow, that's a really big job." Now Hermione knew why he was so stressed out lately.
Hermione stayed quiet for a second, "So, what was it like when you came here?" She was surprised that she had never asked him a question like that before.
"There's not really much to talk about actually." He seemed dismissive of it.
"Oh, please? I really want to know!" She begged.
He sighed and looked straight at her, "Are you sure?"
She gave a convincing smile, "Yes."
"Well," he started, "I wasn't really popular with the other kids."
Hermione could see from the look on his face, that something happened. She quickly regretted asking about his life. She didn't like making people feel bad. And she really cared for Mr. Weasley as well.
"I remember some of the kids would call me names and throw stuff at me. But I just focused on my school work and here I am!" He gave a little laugh.
She giggled, "You should be a comedian, Mr. Weasley. You make me laugh."
"Thank you, Miss Granger." Ron smiled. He looked at her dress for a second, it was different from what she usually wore, but still, he thought she looked stunning.
"You can just call me Hermione. I feel weird being called by my last name." She examined one of the books on the cart next to him.
"Well, it was nice seeing you Hermione, I'll see you in an hour." He waved goodbye to her.
Hermione smiled to herself. She loved talking to Mr. Weasley. She wondered what it would be like to hang out with him. Maybe her, him, and Harry can all hang out together sometime.
"Hey Mr. Weasley!"
Ron turned around and saw Harry and shushed him, "Harry, we're in the library."
"Sorry, I just didn't expect you to be in here. You know I went to Nathan Beldro's party last night. It was so fun."
"Beldro? Isn't he the one who sits a table in front of you in my class?" Ron asked.
"Yeah, he was cool to invite students from every house!"
Ron gave a look of concern, "Did Ginny happen to be at this party?"
Harry hesitated, "Why would you think that?"
Ron crossed his arms, "Oh come on Harry, she wasn't home at all last night. We were worried sick about her!"
Harry nodded, "Yeah, I went with my friends and I saw her and Hermione."
Ron suddenly raised his eyebrows, "Hermione? Why was she there?"
Harry shrugged, "No idea, but she looked really amazing."
Ron felt his face getting warm, "Did you hang out with her?"
Harry shook his head, "Nah, I was with Ginny most of the time."
Ron couldn't help but get defensive. Harry is talking about his sister and Hermione, two girls that happen to be close to him.
"Where is Ginny now?" Ron asked.
"I offered her to sleep in my dorm last night. She was really exhausted."
"Did...anything happen after that?" Ron asked, really concerned.
Harry got what he was trying to say, "No! Of course not Ron! I wouldn't do that. I really like her and you're my friend." He patted Ron on the back.
"She's been talking about you every day. A bit annoying, really." He put a big book in an empty space on the shelf.
Harry smiled, "Really? Well what about Hermione? Pretty girl, isn't she?"
Ron stopped what he was doing and looked at his friend. "Did Hermione do anything at that party?"
Harry shrugged, "Well, she left to go talk to some people."
Ron looked very concerned about Hermione. He now realized why Hermione was wearing a rather revealing dress.
"It's no wonder she was wearing a dress." Ron said aloud.
"Yeah, she looked really hot." Harry smiled.
Ron looked as if he was going to strangle him.
Harry raised his hands, "I'm just playing, Ron."
Hermione felt so embarrassed when she went back to her dorm and realized she was still wearing the dress and shoes from last night. But the she had an idea. She wanted to change. Be a new Hermione. She wanted to get his attention. She applied mascara and lots of gloss.
She examined herself in the mirror to check her appearance. Her skirt reached above her knees and her top was tucked into her skirt. She tied her hair into pigtails. She hasn't worn her hair like that since she was little. She grabbed her bookbag and went out. She popped a stick of gum in her mouth.
After class, Hermione took out her compact to check her lip gloss. She didn't want to be scared anymore, she wanted to make a move. The class by now was empty, leaving Hermione and Ron alone.
She gave him a bright smile. "Mister?"
Ron looked up from his desk. Hermione wasn't sure, he might be married for all she knew, she looked at his fingers but she didn't see a ring. She pulled her sleeve lower to show her bra strap.
She started walking over to him, "Um, you don't happen to be busy tonight, would you?"
"Why do you ask?" He said feeling suspicious.
She leaned on his desk, "I'm just curious. He nodded but didn't say anything. She tied the knot on her shirt tighter to show more cleavage. She was scared because she didn't want the shirt to loosen uo because she didn't have a bra underneath. She slowly lifted herself onto his desk.
She paused but came up with something to say. She reached over and grabbed his tie. "This tie is really nice, where'd you get it?" She felt how soft the tie was.
"I-I don't really remember.." Ron stuttered. He couldn't believe what was happening. He's never really had feelings for a girl before. Especially one like Hermione. One who was sweet and very beautiful.
She gave a little laugh, "It's so nice." She continued to play with his tie. She liked the feeling of being really flirtatious to him, it was fun. "It feels like silk." She giggled more, she was having too much fun, she really liked it.
He didn't say anything, he just kept staring at Hermione in awe. He didn't know what to feel in that moment. She pulled him closer towards her.
"Can I see these?" She said taking off his glasses. "You're very hanndsome, Mr. Weasley." She said giggling.
Ron felt really hot, he felt like the temperature in the room was rising. "Hermione, I-"
She placed a finger to his lips. "Shh.. just relax and watch me, okay?" Ron caught his breath and nodded.
He struggled to say something, "Um, Hermione, can-"
She placed her hand under his chin to make him look up at her. She smiled at him, then closed her eyes and slowly kissed him on his lips. Hermione could feel her heart pounding at that moment. He kissed her back, which Hermione didn't expect.
She can hear him breathing heavy. She placed her hand on his neck. Hermione couldn't believe that this was happening right now. She continued kissing him and eventually, they slowly pulled away. She wanted to make it last.
Ron felt confused when Hermione's face changed. She looked as if she was humiliated. Ron looked like he wanted to say something but Hermione spoke instead.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have done that." She apologized. "I'm-I'm so so sorry." She dismounted off the desk, grabbed her bookbag and stepped out.
