Moonlight Shining

By Amanda H

Hermione stomped angrily down the hallway. Amy bounced cheerfully ahead of Ron to be beside her. Ron shuffled gloomily, slumped over, behind them. Soon Hermione reached an empty charms classroom. She pulled out her wand.

"Allhamora!" she commanded. The door swung open and she stomped into the dark room. She pointed her wand at the wall lanterns.

"Ignento!" She continued, lighting the lamps around the room. She stomped over to a desk, roughly pulled out the chair and sat down. She stared harshly at Ron. Amy bounced over and stood behind the fuming Hermione. Ron shuffled over and sat in the seat beside her.

"Ron." Her voice asked. "Do you think I wanted to break up with you?" She asked in a stern tone. He nodded, not looking up. "Whatever gave you that idea?" She asked, her tone slightly mocking. He looked up and opened his mouth, but closed it sharply.

"That's what I thought." Hermione answered triumphantly, folding her arms across her chest.

"Recognize this?" Amy asked, holding out the Peekerphone.

"Hey! My Peekerphone!" He answered making a grab for it. Amy pulled it back sharply.

"Uh, Ron." Hermione reminded him.

"Oh. Yeah." He answered, sitting back down. "Well. . . . er."

"Why Ron?" Hermione asked.

"I only wanted to know what you say about me. I'm sorry." He pleaded. "So you really don't hate me?" He ventured, hesitantly.

"No, of course not. I love you." She leaned over and peaked him affectionately on the cheek.

"How long has it been there?" Amy asked softly.

"The last two nights." He answered, quietly. Though she tried to remain composed, the colour drained from Amy's face as she fell into the chair beside Hermione.

"No No!" Ron answered. "Harry didn't hear it! All I had was the earpiece last night. Today he went out and bought the speaker. I didn't tell him a word of what you said last night Amy." He rushed. Amy looked slightly relieved, but her face did not regain any of its colour.

"But you heard it, and it was meant for Hermione's ears only."

"Well," Just then footsteps sounded in the hallway. Hermione jumped out of her chair, pulling out her wand.

"Fine Incantium!" She whispered. All the lights went out. The three ducked down, trying to blend in with the soft moonlight streaming in through the window. Professor McGonalgal walked by the classroom hurriedly. She did not see the figures hunched inside. Once she had passed Hermione re-lit the lights. Ron was the first to speak.

"Do you really Amy?" He asked. Amy looked puzzled.

"Do you really love him?" Amy's eyes softened as she smiled.

"Yes." She answered.

"Wow." He answered. "Now what? What about my sister?" He looked from one girl to the other.

"We've decided to let it be for now. Amy's alright with it." Hermione paused, glancing at Amy. "And she really doesn't want us to do anything. So all you have to do is keep quiet. Not a word to anyone. Especially not Harry."

"So basically, keep my mouth shut and pretend it never happened?" He asked.

"Yes." Answered Amy.

"Well, I can help keep your mouth shut." Hermione said, smiling as she leaned over and drew Ron into a passionate kiss. Amy watched from the side and sighed. After several seconds she began to sigh impatiently and yawn loudly. They broke apart.

"With that kind of incentive I don't think I'll have any trouble." Ron grinned ear to bright red ear. Hermione smiled sweetly.

"Let's go." Amy suggested. "It's late."

"Wait!" Ron exclaimed. "What'll we tell Harry?"

"How about one of his best friends is in love with him?!" A drawling voice sneered from the doorway. The trio whirled around to see Draco Malfoy leaning against the doorway.

"What are you doing here Malfoy?" Ron spat. Malfoy sauntered into the room.

"Just a little eavesdropping of my own. I'd have to say tonight was fairly successful." He sneered.

"How much did you hear Malfoy?" Amy asked quietly.

"Enough to get your lover friend very mad at you." He smiled maliciously. Amy gulped silently. "Perhaps I should just go tell him what I heard?" He asked, provocatively, edging towards the door.

"No! Don't!" Amy called, springing forward.

"And what is to stop me?" He sneered.

"Me!" Yelled Ron, lunging towards him, wand outstretched, though it looked like he was more likely to punch him. Hermione grabbed him by his robes and struggled to hold him back.

"Ron! That won't solve anything!" She yelled.

"The heck it won't!" He yelled back, lunging forward again. Draco moved sideways slightly, avoiding Ron's punch and causing him to land on the floor with a thud. Ron stood up and walked back to the others, his pride damaged.

"What Malfoy?" Amy asked meekly.

"Well, let's see. Transfiguration homework for the rest of the year and oh, let's see. A date for the upcoming Yule Ball for now." He drawled.

"That's blackmail!" Hermione retorted.

"Smart Granger!" Malfoy sneered. Hermione's face flushed. "No more work for my most difficult subject and an excuse not to go with Pansy Parkinson. Perfect for now. Or, shall I go inform Potter of your little chat?" He mocked.

"Fine." Amy agreed, bowing her head.

"Excellent. See you in Transfiguration tomorrow. Oh! And try to find something nice to wear to the ball. I can't be seen with a witch rags like those. I told you you'd be sorry if you didn't choose better friends." He smirked and sauntered off down the hall.

Ron fumed.

"That evil, manipulative, sneaky, conniving," He mumbled.

"Why did you let him walk all over you like that?" Hermione asked, hugging Amy.

"I can't let Harry find out. I just can't." She said, breaking out of the hug. "Not a word you two." She told them.

"Nothing." They both agreed.

"Let's head back." Hermione suggested. She extinguished the lamps and they walked out of the room. Hermione locked the door behind them. They reached the door to Griffindor and Ron gave the password (silver snitches). As they entered Harry jumped up and rushed over to Ron.

"It's okay Ron. We can talk upstairs." He shot an angry look at Hermione.

"Harry, I'm fine really. We didn't break up." Harry looked at him.

"Really?" He asked surprised.

"Yeah. We, uh, she, uh." He fumbled.

"I found the Peekerphone." Hermione said, holding it up.

"Oh." Harry sighed, taking it from her outstretched hand. "Sorry."

"It's alright." Amy replied brightly, smiling too cheerfully. "Hermione. Let's go to bed." She suggested. Hermione nodded and followed her up the girl's staircase after a brief goodnight kiss from Ron.

"Just to keep me quiet until morning." He mumbled in her ear. She smiled.
