Chapter 14

Hermione slumped down in the couch in front of the fireplace in the Head's common room. She was stuffed, the food they served at Hogwarts was a lot different then what she was used to get at Beauxbatons.

She was tired and she had to get up early the next morning for a meeting with McGonnagle. She was going to help her and Ron get settled as Head's and she was going to tell about some of the extra jobs they would get.

Hermione sighted as her eyes began to close, she wanted to just go to bed, but she had promised Ron to wait for him. He was only going to talk to Harry and the other Gryffindor boys for a bit.

She woke when Crookshank curled up in her lap and looked around, Ron wasn't back yet. She glancd at the clock, he should have been back by now.

She lifted Crookshank down on the floor and got up from the couch. She walked over to the portrait and it opened, leading her into the Gryffindor common room.

In one of the chairs were Ron, and around him were some other students she recognised as fellow 7th years and Ginny.

Ron was talking to one of the girls she didn't know by name. Next to the girl was Padma Patil, the prefect that had been nice to her during the meeting under the train ride. She was a bit surprised because of that, because she had heard some of the other prefects say that Padma had been the first choice for Head Girl if Hermione hadn't been there.

Hermione walked over to the group. "Ronald, I've been waiting for you for ages!"

Ron looked up at his girlfriend, and understood at first sight that she was mad at him.

"Sorry 'Mione got caught up here." He looked pleadingly at her, he clearly didn't want to give the other Gryffindor something to gossip about.

"Hello, I'm Lavender Brown," the girl Hermione didn't know said with an almost too sweet smile.

"I'm Hermione Granger," she answered rudely. "Well, I'm going to bed now," she stated before she turned around and walked back to the portrait that lead to the Head's room.

"Sword in the stone," she said and the portrait swung open. As she entered she heard steps behind her, but she kept on walking into the room, and into her bedroom.

She slung the door, closing it. Just when she had reached her bed she heard a knock.

"Let me in 'Mione," she heard Ron say.

She didn't answer him, just sat there in her bed, staring at the door.

"Alohamora." The door opened and Ron walked over to her. He sat down on his knees in front of her.

"Why are you mad at me?" he looked at her with a pleading look again.

"You said you would come here after talking a bit with your friends and you asked me to wait up for you. I fell asleep and woke up, but you still were outside with the others Ron. And you were talking with her, that tart." She glazed hard at him.

"What are you talking about?" he looked like she had been talking o him in French.

"That tart Lavender bloody Brown, she flirted with you whole last year. Back then you ignored it, but now that you have a girlfriend you flirt back," she felt tears stinging in her eyes and she looked down at her feet.

However Ron cupped her face with his hand, "look at me 'Mione." He asked pleadingly, and she did as a tear escaped her eye.

"I'm not flirting with her, I was actually talking with Seamus and I lost track of time. Then he headed up to bed and Lavender asked about you, I let her know I wasn't free. You have to believe me." He looked so honest.

He dried the tears from her face with his thumb before he let go of her face and wrapped his arms around her. "You have to believe me," he said again.

She nodded against his chest, she couldn't stay mad at him for long.

"Go to bed love, you look tired and we have that meeting tomorrow morning," he let go of her and gave her a peek on the cheek.

"I'll go to bed too, I'm knackered," he got up from her bed and walked towards the door.

"I like it when you call me love," she told him in a whisper.

"I'll remember that," he said with his lopsided grin before he left the room and closed the door.

Hermione's first day at Hogwarts had been eventful, and her classes hadn't even begun.

%&%&%&

"Get up Ronald," she shook his shoulder and he stirred before he slowly opened his eyes to adjust to the light.

"Wha?" He looked up at her with sleepy eyes.

"If you don't get your lazy arse up from that bed you're going to be late for our meeting with McGonnagle. Besides, if you're late to the meeting, I'll refuse to kiss you the next two days," she told him with a voice which left no chance to discuss it.

"I'm up, I'm up," he suddenly rushed when she had threatened to not kiss him.

Hermione walked out of his room and let him get in the bathroom, why did she have to get together with the boy who was such a sleepyhead? She was almost never up after half past eight in the morning, and was usually ready for class before everyone anyone else was up.

She sat down in the couch and started to read a book while she waited for Ron to finish up.

He was finished 5 minutes before they were supposed to meet McGonnagle, and demanded a kiss before they left their common room.

They walked the halls in silence and Hermione knocked on the door to McGonnagle's office just on time.

"Come on in," they heard from inside. She opened the door and walked inside the office with Ron after her.

"Sit down, Ms. Granger, Mr. Weasley. We have a lot to discuss before you can head to breakfast."

A/N: I think I'm going to skip forwards a bit, not too much thought, but I'm not good at coming up with stuff for them to do in class. So you probably won't see much of their classes, but I can promise some studying and a lot of fun, so stay tuned.

Thanks to Milan4ever, Avanell and Big Karol, you guys make my day brighter when you keep reading and reviewing. And to you guys who keeps on reading but don't leave reviews, I'll be really happy if you would =)

Oh, and I've forgotten to mention it several times now, but I've put up a link to a picture of the dress Hermione wore during the wedding, 'coz I suck at describing dresses in English XD
