Chapter 4: The Question

Ron walked over to the other side of the common room. He was going over what to say in his head when he unexpectedly came upon the place where Hermione was sitting.

"Er, Hermione, do you think you could come with me? I have to talk to you."

Lavender and Parvati giggled as Hermione stood up and walked with Ron to the portrait of the fat lady. There was nobody over there, so Ron started talking.

"Herm, about what happened on the train-"

"Yes!" she said quickly.

"Well, I was just going to say that I really do like you and I just wanted to know-"

"Hey Ron!" shouted Fred Weasley, Ron's 7th year brother.

"What?" shouted Ron impatiently.

"Me and George wanna show you some new candy we made."

"Can't it wait ? This is sort of important."

"Oh, I see! Asking her out are you?"

"Fred!"

"Oops!" And with that, Fred sprinted off.

"Ron! Is that really what you were going to ask me?" questioned Hermione.

"Yes, I just wish you could've heard It from me and not my brother."

"Of course Ron! I'd love to go out with you!"

"Okay, well, I don't really know what to say…"

"It's okay, but I'm really glad you asked me, because I was waiting. That's what I was talking with Parvati and Lavender about."

The two of them walked hand in hand to where Harry was sitting, now talking to Parvati and Lavender about what Ron was asking Hermione. They were all very happy to hear they were going out, but some people weren't.

A/N: Yeah, this is like the shortest chapter, but there's still more to come!
