Yet another chapter down and coming around to a closing soon...thoughts in italics.

The Secret Admirer
Chapter 5
My Guardian Angel

Harry's POV

I wonder what they're talking about. I know it's about me. Probably talking about how they think I'm taking Voldemort too lightly. I've got nothing to worry about though. I've got them as friends and so many people protecting me. Sure I worry, but I try not to dwell on it. Too many memories. Joking about it every now and then helps.

Harry turned over in his bed and looked at his letter again. "Now who are you from?" he muttered out loud to himself. Harry put the letter on his night stand and started to think about his dream from the previous night. He smiled as he though about it. Ron as an angel. My guardian angel.

Harry had always been fond of Ron ever since they first met. He'd started thinking of him as more than just a friend only a couple of years ago during the tri-wizard tournament, but he never told him how he felt after Ron had started showing jealousy toward anyone who got close to Hermione. He knew that Ron had finally admitted his feelings to Hermione last year, but he had never talked about the encounter. Obviously he and Hermione weren't dating, but Harry still thought Ron had those kind of feelings for her. Maybe that's another reason why Ron wanted to talk to her alone. He's probably going to ask her out again.

Ron came through the dormitory door. "Hey, Harry, figured out who that letter is from yet?"

"No," he simply said.

"Well, I'm sure you'll figure it out soon."

"Why do you say that? Do you know who it is or something?" Harry looked over at Ron who had just sat down on his own bed.

"Because you're smart."

"Am I?" Harry looked at Ron, raising one of his eyebrows. I don't' think Ron's ever given me a compliment like that before. It's very flattering.

The next day Harry and Ron were in the Gryffindor common room playing a game of wizard chess. As usual, Harry was loosing. Harry always lost but he still played either way just to spend time with Ron.

The common room was all in a hustle and bustle as all the Gryffindors, with the exception of Harry and Ron, were coming through with their trunks on their ways home to see their families for the holidays.

Hermione came down the staircase and came to a halt where Harry and Ron were. "Well, I suppose I'm off for the holidays," she said.

Harry and Ron got up from their game and gave hermione a hug. "We'll miss you Hermion," Harry said.

"It'll be different not spending Christmas with you," Ron added.

"I'm sure the both of you will do just fine without me. I'll still send you presents of course."

Harry grinned widely and slipped his arm around Ron's waist. Boy do I love being a bit of a prankster. The both of them will probably get a kick out of this and of course I get to be close to Ron. Well closer than we normally ever are. He pulled Ron close to him and said, "I'm sure Ron and I will manage." He chuckled and then removed his arm from around Ron. He noticed Ron was blushing furiously red and Hermione was just standing there and smiling.

"Ron, would you like to walk with me to the entrance hall?"

Ron nodded and followed Hermione through the portrait hole, leaving Harry in the still crowded common room.

I guess they've finally gotten together. About time I suppose. At least one of us can be happy with him.

A/N: I like this chapter, but it's not my favourite...but oh well. Hope you enjoyed it. Please review.
