It was Ron. Ron. Ron who she had been best friends with since Halloween of first year.
And there she was, kissing him. She then realized that if someone saw her watching herself and
Ron kiss, there may be just a few questions. So she hurried back to the Gryffindor dormitory
and realized that she could probably turn back the time and go with Dudley now- but more so she
could see what happened with Ron. She turned ran down to an empty classroom, and turned time
to just before she was supposed to meet Dudley. Then she walked out into the entrance hall.
Sure enough, there was Dudley, looking... well, as nice as Dudley COULD look. He was
positively beaming at Hermione. "Hi Dudley. Shall we go in?" she asked as Dudley offered her
his arm.
"Yeah, of course," said Dudley, with an air of that of a person who had suddenly come out
of a trance. Hermione was anxious to get away from Dudley and see what was going on with Ron.
She danced a few songs with Dudley, while keeping and eye both on herself and Neville, and also
where Ron was. Dudley turned out to be quite a good dancer; it turned out they had to take
lessons at Smeltings. After a few dances, Hermione felt slightly tired, and decided to sit down.
Dudley when to go get some punch. Then, she noticed Ron sitting alone looking miserable. She sat
next to him.
"What's wrong?" she asked him.
Ron sighed. "Lavender ditched me for get this- Malfoy. Of all the awful people at this
school to lose my date to, Draco Malfoy is the last one I'd pick."
"Do you wanna go for a walk?"
"Sure, that'd be great, but what about Dudley?"
Hermione looked over at the snack table, where Dudley, who's parents had been keeping him
away from sweets, had free reign on all the wizard candy and sweets he wasnted. "I think he'll
be allright as long as those house-elves keep the plates filled."
Ron chuckled, "So you're finally giving up on S.P.E.W?"
"Well, I still disagree with it, but they're happy and they won't give in, so it really
isn't worth the time."
"Well, shall we go out then?" Ron asked.
"Certainly," she said and got up.
They went outside, around where Hermione had seen them kissing, and Ron sat down with his
back against a tree, and Hermione sat down and leaned up against him, with his arm around her.
"You know, Hermione, you're really a great friend. I can talk to you about anything, and
I know it's safe."
"What about Harry?" she asked.
"We'll, I always get nervous when we fight. I always worry that he'll tell stuff that I
don't want him to. He never does, but I still worry."
"We fight too," she reminded him.
"I know, but I still trust you... it's just like, a gut feeling. That I can trust you
with anything."
Hermione smiled, "So, tell me Ron, is there anything you haven't told me?"
"Well..."
"What is it?? Tell me! I won't tell anyone!"
"I know THAT, but, well...."
"WHAT??"
"It's about YOU..."
"Well, that's an even better reason for you to tell me."
"Ok, you know last year, when I was really mad about you and Krum and everything?"
"Yeah, are you finally going to tell me why?"
"I was jealous."
"Of course you were! Why wouldn't you be! Krum's an international quidditch star, he
was a triwizard champion, and very well-to-do."
"I know, but there was one thing he had last year that I wanted more than anything"
Hermione WAS the cleverest witch of her age, and figured out what he meant then. She was
silent for almost a full minute, and then asked, "Me?"
"...yeah. You aren't gonna be all weird about this now, are you? Cause if you are, I
have a pretty mean memory charm up my sleeves, and I wouldn't thisnk twice about using it if
it meant we would still be as good of frie-"
Ron was interrupted by the very thing that Hermione had seen earlier. She couldn't help
herself. She just kissed him. Midsentence. She had never even realized she had feeling for Ron.
It just struck her, after he made this revelation to her. She supposed it happened so gradually
that she didn't even notice a change. After a while she pulled away and looked at him.
"That was just how I imagined it." he told her.
"That's a compliment, right?" she teased.
He smiled, "of course. But, I suppose we should go back in and let our dates down. Well,
YOUR date. I think mine's in that bush over there with out arch-enemy."
And with that, Hermione and Ron headed back into the castle.
