A/N: Hey everybody. I am now only going to update once a week since I am starting college again soon. I hope I can get a chapter out every week since I am now working full-time (40 hours a week) and going to school full-time at night as well. I will be very busy, but I won't ever give up on this story. I hate it when I read something, but there's no ending or whatever because the writer gave up on it. Hate that. If you look on my profile, you'll see that I added info about this story that you may find interesting. All right, let's get back to the story. We are now on Chapter 10 which takes place during the Slughorn Christmas Party and ends before the Christmas break. It will be short and we'll get to see Ginny's reaction.

(Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter)

Chapter 10:
Busted!

Hermione had been in heaven feeling her orgasm nearing until she came back crashing to earth the moment she heard the loud gasp. She felt Ron quickly untangle himself from her, but that only caused her to land on her bum painfully. After the sting of her bum hitting the hard floor, she looked up in the shocked face of Ginny Weasley as she quickly got up from the floor and smoothed down her dress.

They all stood in awkward silence for several seconds until Hermione broke the silence. "Um, Ginny, I can explain." Hermione nervously said. She knew Ginny had wanted her to stay away from Ron because no matter how much Ginny loved her brother, Ron had always been a womanizer.

"Gin, get out!" snapped Ron.

"Ron, be nice!" Hermione exclaimed.

"Ha! No can do, Ron. Would either of you care to explain just what the hell is going on here? Hermione! Why are you kissing Ron? I thought you'd have more sense than that?" Ginny wondered.

"Can we please talk about this in private? I don't want anyone coming in. I don't want Harry to find out, please!" Hermione pleaded. Ginny was fighting a battle in her head before letting out a deep sigh.

"Fine, let's go." Ginny walked back out the bathroom in time to see Draco Malfoy being pulled away from the party. Soon after, Harry left the party as well without anyone noticing. One by one, all 3 left the loo separately.

Ginny stomped her way to an empty classroom and waited for Ron and Hermione to show up. Ron walked in casually, not even caring that there will be an interrogation; although, he is a little afraid that Ginny will let the truth out to everyone. As for Hermione, she walked in shyly and embarrassed. Ron thought Hermione had nothing to be embarrassed about. Sure, they had been snogging sexually, but Hermione had definitely been enjoying it immensely.

Ginny crossed her arms and, "Well?" Ginny asked.

"Gin, why don't you just mind your own business?" Ron snapped.

"Fine, I'll go tell everyone!" Ginny retorted and made to leave the room when Hermione got in front of her.

"Ginny please! Just wait. Ron is my boyfriend and I'm sorry I didn't let you know, but we're keeping it a secret. Please don't tell anyone!" Hermione begged.

'Boyfriend. Hermione Granger's boyfriend. That does sound nice. We never actually called ourselves boyfriend/girlfriend, yet.' Ron thought.

Ron cut in, "That's right Gin. Don't tell anyone. I know you wouldn't keep any secrets for me, but do it for our Hermione." Ron asked.

Hermione's heart soared at being called his Hermione.

"When did this start?" Ginny asked.

Hermione knew the answer already since she had imprinted the date in her memory so she would never forget the day. "Well, we started going out like around September 7 and our first kiss was on September 14." Hermione answered.

"That long?" Ginny loudly said since she was shocked.

"You remembered the day we kissed?" Ron asked amused, but dropped the amused look as Hermione turned to glare at him as if to say that he better have had remembered the day. Ron didn't even know the exact day, all he knew that it had started in early September and that was good enough for him. He was pleased that Hermione had remembered the exact day. He thought that Hermione must have stronger feelings for him than she let on. This would help Ron on his task of getting Hermione to fall for him.

"Ginny, I'll answer all your questions, but can we please do it at…um…you know, during Christmas," Hermione asked. She almost let it slip that they would be spending Christmas at the Order Headquarters, known as Harry's house.

"Fine. We'll talk later and don't think I'm done with you Ron." Ginny warned. She turned and left the classroom as Hermione let out a deep breath. She kept her eyes at the spot where Ginny was just standing as she thought about their situation. She felt Ron's presence behind her as Ron wrapped his arms around her waist. Hermione sighed and rested her head back on his shoulders.

"Do you want to finish what we started in the loo or are you tired?" Ron asked. He really wanted to finish it.

Hermione thought about it as she felt Ron's erection poking her between her cheeks. Warning thoughts flashed through her head even if it felt so good. She felt that she had to leave because she wouldn't have the willpower to stop it. She didn't want to lose her virginity in a dirty classroom.

Hermione turned and looked up in Ron's eyes. "I think it would be best if I go back to my room." Hermione explained. She then boldly pressed her body against Ron's relishing the feel of Ron's erection prodding her stomach.

Ron sighed heavily in disappointment, but he knew she was going to say that anyways because Hermione didn't have much experience and was very timid in sexual situations. He nodded and grabbed Hermione's neck.

Ron hand had grabbed Hermione's neck and gave her a short, but sweet gentle kiss on her lips that left her wanting more. The kiss meant promises and she knew that. She shuddered and Ron smirked knowingly.

"Come on, let's get out of here." Ron said as he grabbed Hermione and pulled her out of the classroom. He wrapped an arm around her waist and started massaging her stomach as they walked to the Gryffindor entrance.

They reached the entrance without running into anyone and Ron let go of Hermione. He grabbed her small hands as she looked up. "I have something for you, but I've already sent it to you before the party. Don't open it 'til Christmas. You got that?" Ron asked and Hermione gleefully nodded quickly. "Okay, well, this is where I must leave you. Have a good Christmas." Ron said as he brought up one of Hermione's hands to his lips and placed a kiss on her knuckles while never leaving his eyes from hers. He winked and she blushed as he let go, and then he walked away, but not before giving her one last glance as he left the corridors.

Hermione happily ran into her room and got into her bed after changing out of her clothes. The only thoughts in her head were all about Ron and their actions in the loo as well as his sweetness outside the entrance. She didn't think for one second about being caught by Ginny. Although, she was upset that Ginny had interrupted her before she had reached her orgasm. With this thought, she used her wand to silence her bed so that others wouldn't hear her. She thought back to the feeling of Ron's erection as she reached into her knickers and fingered herself into bliss.

The next day, Hermione was on the Hogwarts express waiting for Harry and Neville. She went looking for Ginny when she heard her voice in a compartment. She walked up to the compartment and also heard Lavender's voice as well, so she decided to eavesdrop.

"Ron has no idea what happened to me. He didn't see anyone stun me. Whatever, that doesn't matter." Before Lavender could say anymore, Ginny had left the compartment without even noticing Hermione standing there.

Hermione remained where she was as she heard Lavender start talking to Parvarti.

"After Christmas, I need your help. I want Ron Weasley. Please help…" Hermione left before she could hear the rest of Lavender's sentence.

Hermione found the compartment that Harry and Neville was in and went in. Luna was also in the compartment as they all starting conversing.

Hermione thoughts were about Lavender. 'So, Lavender isn't going to give up. Well, she can't have Ron Weasley if I can help it. He's mine!' Hermione thought viciously.

She couldn't wait for it to be Christmas so she could open the shiny gold and red wrapped present from Ron. She only hoped that Ron would enjoy the present she got him. Only two weeks 'til she got to see his face again. With this thought, she closed her eyes and took a nap in the compartment.

A/N: Thanks for reading. Like I said, this was going to be real short. Ron needs to control his needs before he scares Hermione away. How much longer will Hermione have the ability to prevent anything sexual to happen? What is Lavender planning? All those answers will soon be answered. Before I go, I want to do a little poll with my readers if you will: if you would, go to my profile and read the last 2 chapters which contains 2 synopsis for 2 different stories that I will be writing after I finish this one. If you would take the time to send me an email or put in your review of which two ideas are the best, I would be grateful. See you next week for Chapter 11!
