********************
Hermione exited her dorm room the next morning and made her way down to the common room to meet the boys.
Ron was there...
...and his hair was red again.
"Good morning Ron" Hermione smiled, she had to admitt that she rathered Ron with red hair. It was one of his best features and it complimented his firey temper.
"Morning 'Mione" He replied
"Nice Hair" She smirked, she didn't mean to smirk, her smile just kind of ended up that way.
"Yeah, well, I was thinking about what you were saying last night, I mean, I died it in the first place because I was scared that the american people that I met would tease me. But here, every one knows that the Weasleys look like this, I should be proud that I am a Weasley. Plus, I think I have heard every insault that this school has to throw at me" Ron explained
"Yes well, you do look better when you have your hair like that" Hermione complimented, Ron blushed, but not as much as he would have last year.
"oh, that's no fun" she exclaimed
"What?" Ron asked
"You don't blush as much any more." she said sadly and Ron laughed.
"Come on, lets go get breakfast" Ron smiled
"What about Harry?" Hermione asked, scanning the common room for him.
"He and Ginny are already down there, now hurry up, I am hungry" Ron complained.
"Good to know some things never change"
&&&&&* &&&&&*&&&&&*&&&&&*&&&&&&*&&&&&&&*&&&&&&&*&&&&
There was a strange silence in the great hall when Ron and Hermione entered. The girls from all four houses were starring. Hermione looked at Ron, he had not realised he was the source of the silence. At numerous tables, the boys tried to re engage the girls in conversation and a few did get the desired result. They moved to the Gryffindor table and sat with Harry and Ginny.
"Good Morning" Ginny said cheerily
"morning Gin" Ron smiled and sat
"Umm, Harry and I would like to tell you two something" Ginny smiled nervously.
"What" Ron asked
"Ginny and I are going out" Harry said nervously, he didn't quite know what to expect from Ron, he was ready to start running away from the wrath of Ron Weasley.
"Congradulations man, I guess I dont have to tell you that I expect you to look after her..." Ron exclaimed and shook Harry's hand
"Wait, Ronnie, you are not angry" Ginny asked
"Naw, I am happy for you, but I will be angry if you call me Ronnie again" Ron smiled. Just then, some one sat in the chair beside him, he looked over to see Pansy Parkinson.
"Hi Ron" She whispered huskily
"Hello Pansy" He replied, uninterested.
"I see that you had a very good holiday" Pansy smiled and ran her hand up his toned arm.
"Yeah, it was ok" He mumbled
" You changed your hair back, oh, i liked it the other way, you didn't look so much like a Weasley" Pansy smiled, running her hand through his red hair.
"Well, Some one convinced me I was wrong to try and be some one different." Ron explained smileing at Hermione, but Pansy looked bored with all of the talking they were doing.
"Whatever...So, I was wondering if maybe you would like to..." She began and then whispered something in Ron ear. Ron turned a dark shade of red. Hermione smirked, she had just said that he didn't blush any more.
"That's very nice of you to offer Pansy, but really, i couldn't" Ron said, trying to let her down gently.
"Come on, I will be gentle, unless you dont like it like that" pansy mumbled. Ron caught Hermione's eyes from across the table and he kicked her gently in the shin. 'Help me' his mind screamed at her.
"Pansy, He said no" Hermione reminded her.
"Yes, well, I dont see why he said no, he has no good reason to turn me down" Pansy said, inflating her ego a little more.
"He has a very good reason" Hermione replied, matter of factly
"And that is?" She asked
"Me"
Pansy looked as though she had been slapped. Ron gave a sigh of relief, the plan had worked.
"Well, sorry Mione, but you keep your eye on him, he is looking dam fine" She smiled, annoyed that she had been shot down, and then returned to her house.
"Thank you Mione, you are my hero" Ron exclaimed
"And now we are even" Hermione smiled
********************
Hermione was frustrated. It was the end of her first week and she had spent a large percentage of it saving Ron. She'd be walking down the hallways, minding her own business when she would hear "There you are Hermione, I was looking for you Babe"
He would call her babe, she would kiss his cheek, they would tell the girl who had been hitting on him that they were together and they would walk off. Only to repeat the process when he got in trouble with another girl.
"This has got to stop Weasley" She exclaimed when she saw him sitting on the couch by the fire.
"What has got to stop?" Ron asked
"Start turning girls down by yourself, I am getting sick of this." Hermione added as she sat with him.
"What? You dont want to be my pretend girlfriend anymore? Are you pretend dumping me?" He asked, mock hurt, and she laughed.
"Yes Ron, I am pretend dumping you, it was your idea to go out there and make yourself super fine, I want to get on with my life to you know" Hermione complained.
"Please Mione, be my pretend girlfriend for just a little while longer...then we will get pretend married and have a truck load of pretend kids and the girls will leave me alone" he begged, only half serious. He pouted, pushing his lower lip out and making a pathetic puppy dog face.
"Ronald Weasley, dont you dare pull that 'you are the only one who can help me' look on me" She said firmly. He had not yet realised that she had very strong will when he used that face (he used it alot during test season.)
"But Mione, you said you owed me" He exclaimed.
"I said I owed you one, I never said I was indebted to you for life, any way, I made our little deal even when I got Pansy away from you last week" Hermione reminded.
"What am I supposed to do if you wont help me?" Ron asked
"You could always say you have had a change of heart and tell them you are dating Harry" Hermione burst out laughing, Ron looked at her and then laughed along with her.
"I guess you are right, maybe I should just...hide untill I get old" He complained and burried his head in his hands.
"I dont see what you are complaining about Ron, you have spoken to more girls in the first week of this year than you have in the last five years of school" Hermione reminded.
"Yeah, and more of them have propositioned me. You know, some of those Hufflepuff girls have really sick minds. I mean, some of things they said they wanted to do to me, i wouldn't even expect from Pansy and her Slytherin friends" Ron shuddered.
"Yes, well, I'll leave those stories for a day that will never come. Anyway, speaking of Pansy, apparently, Draco isn't very happy with you and the story from the train has begun to spread." Hermione warned. She had no doubt that the new and improved Ron Weasley could kick Draco's ass, but she was kind of worried that Malfoy would try any thing to get back at him.
"Yes, well, he can bring it on" Ron said in a fake american accent. Hermione burst out laughing again.
"You are such a muggle now" Hermione laughed and slapped him softly on the arm.
"Well, two months in the muggle world will do that to a person, but I am not going give up magic, being a muggle is to much hard work. i dont know how you did it" Ron smiled, it was true, after spending a while in the muggle world, where he kept his magic use to a minium, he came back with more respect for the girl who spent 11 years doing things the hard way.
"When you dont know how easy magic is, you dont think muggle things are that hard." Hermione explained
"I guess. So, we have had a little conversation about the girls propositioning me, how many boys have approached you?" Ron asked, trying to change the subject. He didn't know why, but he needed to talk about their changing lives again. Over the last week or so, their friendship had matured and they found that they could talk to each other about every thing.
"Well, none, unless you count Malfoy on the train, they all think that I am your girl friend, so they are staying away." Hermione exclaimed,
"Oh sorry" Ron smiled sadly, but inside he had a strange happiness taking him over, he was glad no one had tried to steal her away. Even if they were only best friends, he really needed her now.
"Go to hell Potter!!!!!!!" Ginny screamed as she ran through the portrait hole. Ron and Hermione looked towards her as she ran to her room followed by Harry.
"Them two dating, this is gonna be a fun year" Ron exclaimed as they both went to find out about the problem.
