(A/N: This took me a billion and three years to write, didnt it? Heres chapter two for all you r/h shippers out there!!!!! READ DAMMIT!!!)
Ron got up the morning after the ball feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. He hopped out of bed and threw Harry's bed curtain open.
"Rise and shine Harry!" he said cheerfully. Harry moaned in reply. Ron laughed as he walked down to the Great Hall for breakfast. Since it was early in the morning, there was no one there but...
"Hermione?" Ron's heart filled with delight when he saw her. Hermione glanced up and an expression of fright filled her face.
"Ron, please dont...Viktor will come any second" she said.
"Hermione, dont be naieve. Its six in the morning. He wont be up for a while" Ron said as he sat down across from Hermione. "Please, Hermione I love you. Go out with me" Ron said as he took Hermione's hand.
"Ron..no. I think we should cool it for a while" Hermione said, her voice shaking. HSe pulled her hand out of his grasp. Ron's heart filled with disbelief.
"So you're just going to drop me like that? I tell you I love you and we had this amazing kiss and you're just going to throw me away like a blunt quill?" he shouted. Hermione said nothing. There was nothing but silence in the empty hall. The sound of someone clearing his throat behind Ron and Hermione seared through the dead quiet. They turned around to see Viktor Krum standing in the doorway.
"Ron, i vant you to stay avay from Herm-own-ninny. She has told me of last night and I dont vant you seeing her anymore" Viktor said quietly, walking over to where they were sitting, "Your malignant stare does not help any".
"Malignant this" hissed Ron as he leaped out of his seat and lunged for him, giving him a hard punch in the nose. There was a sharp crack as Krum fell to the ground, howling in pain. Hermione rushed to his side and helped him up.
"How can you be so idiotic, Ron? I really misunderstood you! I never want to see your face ever again!", Hermione shouted. There was sadness in her voice. She walked Viktor to the hospital wing. Ron stood, planted to where he stood, in utter shock of what Hermione just said. "Ill never have her now", thought Ron, in total shock. He ran to the Gryffindor tower and yelled the password (unicorn hair). Them portrait swung open and Ron dashed to the boys' dormitories. He cried his heart out for that he would never have the feeling of security and happiness that would come with Hermione's love. He started angrily beating the pillow with all his might, pretending it was Viktor Krum. Ron wished that he had never been born. If he hadnt, he wouldnt have such a miserable life.

Hermione sat by the bed where Viktor was just recovering from Madame's Pomfrey's bone healing process.
"Herm-own-ninny?"
"Yeah?" asked Hermione, her voice rising with hope.
"Hand me that glass of vater?" Hermione's hopes plummeted. She absently reached for a glass on the nightstand and handed it to him.
"Herm-own-ninny?"
"Yeah?"
"This is not cold, vould you please fill it?" Hermione was in disbelief. She went to fill the glass at the sink. When she brought it back, Viktor gave her a forced grin and downed it. Madame Pomfrey shooed her out of the hospital wing for classes were about to begin. "He treats me like his servant" she thought angrily, "I hope he isn't like this the whole time". Her mind drifted to the kiss last night. It was so warm and deep..so absolutely wonderful. The kiss Viktor had given her was a simple peck on the cheek...nothing compared to the other one. The person who gave her that enchanting kiss, however was not in her good graces anymore. Hermione tried to shake off the recurrance of that warm feeling fromt he night before, but it wouldnt go away. She knew she had to get rid of that tingly feeling int he pit of her stomach. Her mother always said, "When you find a man, stick by him like glue. Be committed. Why can't you get a beau, Hermione, like i did at your age". She thought sensibly that she should stick by Viktor, keep both her mother and him happy. "Im always the sensible one" thought Hermione angrily. Maybe it was time to change her ways...

"Ron, why have you been so down lately? You had better not be sad about Fleur. I will have to kill you if youre sad about a poser-veela" said Harry as they were walking down the hallway.
"No..."
"Then whats wrong?"
"Nothing, just...havent been getting enough sleep lately."
"Oh, have you tried a sleeping spell or potion?"
"Nah..I dont want to".
"OK....tell me whats really wrong".
"Do I have to tell you everything?"
"Why not? I tell you everything"
"No you dont"
"Yes I do"
"Ok so you do, but i still dont want to talk about it"
"Talk about WHAT?"
"Harry, FUCK OFF will ya?"
"Well fine then maybe you should go jump on the 'We Hate Harry' bandwagon, ass" Harry stormed away fuming. Ron chased after him.
"Harry, wait. Im sorry. Im in a bad mood today. Can I tell you about it later?"
"Yeah ok" said Harry reluctantly. They walked to the dungeon for Potions class with the evil Snape
*********************************
Hermione was back in the hospital wing with Viktor. She was wringing her hands nervously. There was this odd feeling of entrapment in the pit of her stomach. She couldnt take it anymore. She had to get out.
"Viktor?"
"Yes, Herm-own-ninny?"
"I cant go out with you anymore" Viktor looked crestfallen.
"But Herm-own-ninny...I really like you. Vhy vould you vant to do this? I thought you vere happy."
"You dont like me. Im so..unlikeable".
"Herm-own-ninny, Please dont, I think...I think i love you"
"Then why do you treat me like a servant?" Hermione cried, standing up sharply.
"How could you say that? I do not treat you like a servant."
"Yes you do! Its like, Herm-own-ninny, do this or Herm-own-ninny do that" yelled Hermione, imitating Viktor's thick Bulgarian accent. "Viktor, I'm sorry. Its over." Viktor looked like he was about to blow up, his face was so red. Hermione clamly walked out of the hospital wing with her heart flying. "Free" she thought, "Free"
*********************************
Later that night, Ron was int he dormitories with Harry, telling him of his bad day.
"I dont know why I love her. Its strange, every time I see her, my heart does flip flops. It felt so right, that night, my lips practically melted with hers. I told her I loved her and it just felt so great. What should I do, Harry? Tell me what i should do."
"Well, I heard from Lavender that she broke up with Viktor. Try talking to her for starters".
"When should I try and ask her out again?"
"Wait about a week i suppose".
"I guess that would work. Thanks for listening. Oh and Harry?
"Yeah?"
"This conversation never happened"
"What conversation?"
"Good."
*********************************
Hermione was sitting int he common room with a smile of her face, talking to Seamus Finnegan and Parvati Patil. Ron came walking in and the smile from Hermion;s face dissappeared, a cold look replaced it.
"Hermione, were going to the kitchen to get some eclaires, you wanna come?"
"No thanks, I have homework" said Hermione, not taking her firey eyes off Ron.
"Ok see you later then". The group left. Ron and Hermione were alone int he commone room. A warm look suddenly flooded Hermione's face.
"Thank God, theyre gone. She ran up to Ron and threw her arms around his neck and kissed him. When they parted, Ron looked once again into Hermione's eyes. They were soft and misty with tears of happiness.
"I love you" aid Ron. Hermione smiled happily, sher had found someone who TRULY loved her. She kissed him again, long and deep.
