Ron and Ginny were walking through the corridors together on their way to lunch, Harry having to stay behind with Snape to find out when his detention was going to be for calling Malfoy a bastard and punching him. Ron of course thought he well deserved it. As for Hermione, she was busy doing her Head Girl duties and would be meeting them at lunch as well. Ron had his hands behind his head and gave a sigh. He had been restless for the past two days and nothing was helping. Ginny smiled cheerfully at her brother. "You know Ron, eleven more days isn't too long." She said cheerfully, but Ron just grumbled miserably. He had heard Ginny and Harry say that to him a lot lately, and there was no doubt in his mind that they were taking advantage of his absense, when he was off trying to find something productive to do, and making out in empty classrooms themselves.
"Ten days is long when you're waiting Gin'." He said and stopped, looking out the window at the school grounds where he spotted Fang taking advantage of there being no students, and running happily around through the snow. "I hate waiting."
"H-hi Ron." Came a nervous voice, and the two siblings turned around. A first year girl named Diane stood there fidgetting nervously. Ron to her, was like Harry to Colin Creevy his first year, except Diane just had a monster crush on Ron. Ever since Ron had threatened Malfoy for messing with her after she had accidentally tripped and crashed into him, causing him to fall on his face and be embarassed in front of the school. or at least who ever was around. She had long dark hair that she wore down and she wasn't really aware of the fact Ron and Hermione were dating.
"Hey Diane." Said Ron, causing her to blush furiously.
"Yeah, I was wondering if you would help me maybe with my Charms homework? I can't really get it right." she said and Ginny grinned at her brother who was completely oblivious to the fact that the girl liked him just as much as Ginny had liked Harry her first year.
"Yeah, alright. I don't have anything better to do." Answered Ron and Diane's face lit up with happiness. She thanked Ron happily and ran off with her friends who were also Gryffindor first years, all of them grinning happily. Ginny could have sworn she heard one of them say, "Maybe Harry Potter'll help us too!" *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"So you're telling me we're having a Yule ball again?" asked Harry when he had finally arrived. Hermione nodded as she loaded her plate with food. "We're having it on Christmas and the Head Boy and Girl get to plan it." She said and Ron stopped eating.
"What? Alone?" he asked and Hermione nodded, causing him to frown. "I don't like that guy." He said, looking over at the Ravenclaw table. Ginny glared at her brother. The Head Boy was a very attractive and smart boy, and the only reason Ron didn't like him was because of this and because he felt the guy was trying to take Hermione away from him.
"You don't like anyone you think likes Hermione the same way you do." She muttered, causing him to blush.
"Shut up."
"Don't worry Ron. I won't let him get too close." She promised and Ron nodded. Harry sighed and stirred around his pudding for a while.
"Couldn't you just both agree not to have a Yule ball?" he asked. The girls both looked at him in shock.
"Why would we do that? Harry, the Yule ball is the best fun!" whined Ginny.
"Well it is for you. You're a girl. Mind you, I didn't have such a great time last time we had a Yule ball." He informed her and both he and Ron frowned at the memory. Ron had just opened his mouth to add his thoughts, when the Head boy from Ravenclaw, Chris Ford came over. He smiled brightly at them and turned to Hermione.
"Dumbledore said we should try and start on the plans on food tonight. Want to meet in the library?" he asked flashing both Ginny and Hermione his most charming smile.
"Yeah, ok." She agreed, both girls trying to avoid the deadly glares their boyfriends were giving Chris. He smiled even happier and left, Ron glaring after him. "I really wish you wouldn't do that." Said Hermione, looking across the table at her boyfriend disapprovingly.
"I'm not doing anything." Grumbled Ron and went back to eating. Hermione glared at him, but didn't bother to argue the issue. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Is this how you do it?" asked the girl next to Ron, Susanne, who was trying to do the charm to make things levitate. Ron looked up and noticed that he was still sitting with three first year girls, trying to teach them how to do charms right. He sat at a table in the Gryffindor common room with a blank stare. He took out his wand and pointed it at the feather, muttering the correct words as the young girls watched, obviously impressed.
"You're awful smart." Said one girl named Angela. Ron sighed and the girls all tried to make their feather go in the air. Harry cam over and grinned down at Ron.
"'Bout time you got here. They're getting along with the charm, they just need help with DADA work." Said Ron, grabbing his things as Harry took his spot.
"Right. oh yeah Ron. Don't get into any trouble with Madam Pince when you get down there." Ordered Harry and Ron nodded, going on his way with Ginny close behind him. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"You couldn't have found a better could you?" Ron whispered to Ginny as he held his Transfiguration book up to cover his face as he spied on Hermione and Chris. Ginny glared at him over her Potions book.
"Any closer and she'll know its us. If I must remind you, 'Weasley's are well known for the flaming red hair and freckles'." She muttered and Ron glared at her. He looked over at Hermione and noticed Chris wasn't really listening to what she was saying. He was about to pull his wand out, when Ginny kicked him. "Don't you dare d anything to lose points for Gryffindor." She hissed as Ron rubbed his sore shin.
"So Hermione, you going to the Yule Ball with anybody yet?" they heard Chris ask. Ginny moved so she could see them. Hermione looked up from her notes.
"Yes, I guess I am if I'm putting all this work into it." She answered and Chris grinned.
"So, who are you going with? I mean. has any one asked you?" he asked and Ginny quickly grabbed the back of her older brother's robe so he wouldn't give them away.
"Well, no one's asked me, but I suppose I'll be going with my boyfriend." She answered, looking back down at her notes.
"Oh, well if he didn't ask you, you don't have to go with him you know." He said and Hermione looked up at him again and made a face.
"He's my boyfriend. Why would he have to ask me?" she asked, becoming annoyed. Ron suddenly got up with a sigh.
"That's all I had to hear." He said and left the library with Ginny. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
When Hermione had left the library, she was surprised that Ron was actually standing at the door waiting for her. He grinned down at her cheerfully and took her books. "Come up to the owlery with me." She told him and he nodded, not saying anything until they got there, where Pig flew happily around.
"Sorry Pig, she won't be using you for this one." Ron told the owl, who still flew excitedly around. Just because she loved the owl as mush as the owner, Hermione used Pig to deliver a letter to her parents.
"Ron, you know I love you right?" she asked, turning around and putting her arms around his neck, looking into his eyes. He stared at her in confusion.
"Yeah. I love you too." He answered and Hermione smiled, kissing him. When she broke off, she smiled softly at him. "Don't worry, the torture I'm putting you through will all be worth it in the end." She told him and Ron smiled brightly at her.
"It had better."
