N/A: So here I am again.

Disclaimer: Harry is not my baby, nor is anything having to do with him…

Seventeen-year old Ron was walking around the school grounds not knowing where he was going. After he had calmed down he decided he needed to be alone and clear his thoughts. He didn't notice fifteen-year old Hermione reading in a bench; she looked up and noticed something was wrong. She didn't know what to do, Should I go to talk to him, or not? She decided to go talk to him.

She cautiously walked up to him, "Ron?" She asked sheepishly. Ron looked up, his eyes with a blank look. She bit her lip, "If you want to be alone, I'll go." She started to turn away.

"No. Don't go." Ron said hoarsely. Hermione looked at the floor, What should I do? What should I say? She asked herself. All of a sudden Ron's attitude changed completely. "Hermione, could you do me a favor?" He asked.

Hermione looked at him, stunned. "Sure. What ever it is you need."

"Thank you. But you need to get me a book. Could you do that for me?" He asked somewhat taken aback by the strange request.

"Ron, since when do you read?" She asked without thinking. Immediately she covered her mouth at what she had said.

Ron smiled, "Surprisingly, longer than you might think. Now seriously, I need this book from the Restricted Section in the Library."

"Restricted Section?" Hermione asked, confused.

"If you think that it's too much you can deny my asking you." Ron said quickly. This time it was Hermione who smiled. "No it's ok. Which one do you need?"

"It's called How to Change the World with Just a Drop of Lunacy. Do you think you can remember it?"

"Yes, it's not a complicated book. But are you sure it's in the Restricted Section?" Hermione said, worried.

"No. But my source is very reliable. Trust me, if you don't want to go through with it, tell me, ok?" Ron said extending his hand to her arm for reassurance.

Hermione looked at the hand touching her arm, she blushed. "S-s-sure. N-n-no problem, just leave it to me."

Ron gave a relieved yet thankful sigh. Hermione couldn't help herself, she had to ask. "Ron, um, why do you need this book anyway?"

Ron looked at her, his gaze went back to being blank. Great, I put my foot in my mouth. Hermione said, not knowing what to say.

Ron gave out a weak chuckle, "Hermione, curiosity killed the cat." Hermione gave him a I-know smile, but didn't say anything else. After saying goodbye, Ron walked away. As he walked away she said quietly, with a grin spread over her lips, "Yes Ron, but satisfaction brought it back."
