A/N Second part to my little story of Ron and Hermione. I'm taking sort of a different route with my fanfic now, tell me if you like it, please read and review, I'll love you forever! Critisism welcome, I wanna know if I should write more.
We last left off after Hermione told Ron and Harry that she spent part of the summer with Viktor Krum.
The Fifth Year Part 2 "Ron's Decision"
As Ron watched Hermione run out of the Great Hall he turned to Harry with disbelief.
"What?....I can't...believe she's still seeing him!...He's...he's..." Ron sputtered. "He's such a loser..."
Harry sat there as Ron continued to ramble until it was time for Professor Wigglesworth's class.
As they walked to the Defense against the Dark Arts class, Harry saw Cho out of the corner of his eye. Ron nudged him, but Harry pretended not to see her ("What? Stop poking me..."). They entered the room just as the bell rang. Hermione skidded into the room before Professor Wigglesworth magicked it shut. Out of breath, and red from running from the Gryffindor House (she did NOT go to the library...), she found a seat next to Harry.
"Have fun at the library?" Harry asked.
"What? Oh yeah, I didn't get to spend enough time there though-"
Hermione was interrupted when Professor Wigglesworth took roll. After she had ran from the Great Hall, Hermione had went back to her dorm that she shared with Parvati and Lavender. While Hermione was friendly with them, she couldn't really confide with them about "girl stuff." And Harry and Ron were out of the question too, since that was the point. Hermione had liked Ron ever since the beginning of their third year. Now that a whole two years had passed Hermione was tired of waiting for Ron to ask her out (she knew that Ron liked her back, she wasn't going to be future head girl for nothing). So she had just been sitting on her bed trying to figure things out. She had seen Viktor Krum over the summer, but the both of them had agreed that their long-distance relationship wouldn't work out. They were still friends though.
"Granger, Hermione," Professor Wigglesworth said. "Are you here?"
"Hermione...snap out of it," Harry waved his hand in front of her.
"What? Oh right, yes? I mean here." Hermione was obviously flustered, she always paid attention during class.
On the other side of Harry, Ron muttered, "She was probably daydreaming about Krum, and their perfect summer together."
After taking roll, Professor Wigglesworth addressed the entire class. It turned out that not only did she do all the things that Hermione had said, she had also studied extensively about Muggles.
"Why, I lived among them for so long, I sometimes have trouble adjusting back to the Wizarding World. The other day, I was looking for a light switch in my office before I realized that I was standing next to a torch."
Then, Professor Wigglesworth stiffened, as if becoming aware of something suddenly.
"You," She said, pointing to Ron.
"What?" he said.
"Has anything happened to you recently in connection with the Dark Arts?"
"What? Me, no!" Ron said, clearly put off.
"You might have heard, that I can sense when evil is around. I have never been wrong." She looked hard at Ron. "Be careful and alert." She warned. "I have a feeling that danger will be upon you soon."
"Er...ok...I'll watch out for stuff."
"I'm serious class, please be careful." Professor Wigglesworth pleaded them. Then, as if nothing has happened, she said, "Please take your book out, and read pages 1-10 and do questions 1-5 for homework tonight. You may have the rest of the class to start it."
Hermione glanced over at Ron, expecting him to look freaked out. But he wasn't.
"She's a nutter, she's probably Professor Trelawney's long lost sister. I hope that for the rest of the year, she doesn't go around predicting deaths, 'cause that's why we have Divination." Ron said to Harry and Hermione.
"Ron! I can't believe your saying that! What she says is true! I read it in a book!" Hermione gasped.
"So just because it's in a book makes it completely true, eh Hermione?" Harry shot back.
"Yes! Of course! Books are-" She stopped when she realized that Harry was just kidding.
"Ron, just be careful. I think that what she said should be taken very seriously. This isn't a useless class like Divination. This is Defense Against the Dark Arts!" Hermione said. "All right? Promise me that you'll be careful."
Ron, never having seen Hermione like this before, quickly obliged. "Yeah, all right fine."
Hermione gave him a nervous smile before turning back to her own desk, but she didn't even start her homework.
After Professor Wigglesworth's class, Harry and Ron headed up to Divination. Ron thought back to about half and hour before when Hermione told him to be careful. She was always saying that to Harry last year during the Tri-wizard competition, but the way that she had said to Ron was different somehow. Ron had spent all summer pondering whether or not to ask Hermione out. But now, since she was still with Krum, Ron didn't think that he stood a chance. He glumly walked up the stairs in the trapdoor. Hermione had evolved from being one of his best friends to something much more. He-could he really feel this way about someone?-loved her. Ron mostly kept his feelings hidden, jealousy, sadness, and love. He knew that he didn't really have to worry about competition from Harry for Hermione, but Ron had always lived in someone's shadow. But Hermione lifted his spirits and he almost always felt loved when he was with her.
After Harry and Ron sat down on an oversized pouf, Professor Trelawney gaped at Ron.
"Mr. Weasley...oh no....I'm getting a premonition...no...it would be better if I didn't say...however...as it is so strong...yes, I must. Ron, I see, danger ahead...and death!"
If this was just some other day, Ron would've just dismissed that on account of 1. She always predicted deaths, and 2. Sitting in the attic all day must've done something to Professor Trelawney's head. But as this was a strange day, where 1. Ron had already been warned of a tragedy, and 2. Professor Trelawney's death prediction was NOT about Harry, Ron didn't make a comment. If he was going to die soon, he might as well ask Hermione how she felt about him (and possibly more) before he died.
A/N ah!!! I wrote this in a hurry, anyway, review, and I don't want Ron to die anyway. It's about time that Ron and Hermione got together though (I'm an impatient person!).
