Chapter 1
Ron was leaning against the old tree near the lake as he watched the giant squid in the lake. It was a hot spring day and everyone was enjoying it, including the Weasley twins, who were with their friend Lee Jordan, flirting with the girls of the Gryffindor Quidditch team. Harry was visiting Cho Chang in the library, and no one knew where exactly Ginny was off to half the time. As for the other Gryffindor fifth year boys, they had their own plans. Seamus and Dean were hanging out in the common room since that was the only place that Lavender and Parvati weren't at. As for Neville, he and Hannah Abbott were obviously starting to really like each other since Neville was always going to see her. He began dozing off when he noticed some one standing over him.
"You know, there are better things to do." Said Hermione, sitting next to him in the grass. Ron looked at her and then back at the sky.
"Like what?" He asked, but she didn't exactly have much of a clue. Ron sighed and laid his head on her lap, closing his eyes. "So, what were you doing before you came out to nag me?" he asked with a bit of a smile. Hermione was running her fingers through his hair as she explained that she was looking for Ginny, but gave up when Lavender begged her to help her find Seamus.
"And that's about when I came out here to found you." She said, smiling down at him gently as he lay there pleasantly, without a care in the world. Soon, he had fell asleep like this, and Hermione began to become so relaxed, she was about to fall asleep when Ron sat up. "What's up?" she asked quietly.
"Nothing. Let's get out of this heat and go back up to the common room." He suggested, getting up and helping her up as well. As they went up to the castle, they spotted Fred and George lying in the grass with their heads resting in Angelina and Alicia's laps. George was grinning up at Alicia as he made up stories while Fred just made jokes and flirted. "It's all talk." Ron told Hermione.
"But its cute. You're brothers actually being romantic and all." Said Hermione, starting to blush when she noticed the look on Ron's face. "I'd like to see you do something mushy like that." Ron's face went entirely red. He muttered something under his breath about he'd never purposely make himself look like an idiot, but Hermione just smiled. 'Idiot.' she thought with a smile. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
In the Common room, Dean and Seamus had just left as Hermione and Ron entered. They were the only two in the common room, besides Crookshanks, who jumped into Hermione's lap as soon as she sat down. Ron dropped in the chair across form her and set up a game of wizard's chess.
"You'll never let me beat you at this will you?" she sighed. Ron looked at her and grinned.
"Can't stand it can you?" he laughed. She shrugged.
"I never get very close to beating you after all." Ron smiled at her.
"Don't worry. You're getting better." He reassured her. A few minutes later, Ginny entered the common room with a dazed look and her hand on her lips. "Ginny? Are you ok?" Ron asked, becoming worried. She gave a dreamy sigh and dropped next to Hermione.
"You know, no matter how bad a guy may seem, he can really be a stud deep down." She said. Then she turned to Hermione. "But you know a lot about that don't you?" she asked, nodding her head in Ron's direction. Ron glared at his sister.
"Ginny, you haven't been making out with guys have you?" he asked sternly. Ginny glared a t Ron.
"Don't be jealous." She muttered, causing both Ron and Hermione to blush intensely. "Hey, let's go talk eh? I need to tell you some stuff." Just as Ginny said this, Harry entered.
"Go ahead. Harry'll finish your game." Said Ron as his friend sat in Hermione's seat as she got up. As the girls left, Harry seemed to have been relieved. "So, what's the deal?" asked Ron, looking at him from across the chessboard.
"What's Ginny all happy about?" asked Harry, completely avoiding Ron's question. He shrugged.
"I think it had something to do with some boy. You know who it might be?" Ron asked, looking at his friend, waiting for a response. Harry just shrugged.
"Probably Colin. or Malfoy." he said coldly, then when Ron looked up at him, he noticed anger in his eyes.
"What- do you mean.Malfoy?" Ron asked. Harry looked up at Ron and he looked as if his whole world had come to a complete end. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"You let him kiss you?!" said Hermione in shock. Ginny narrowed her eyes at her friend, not thinking it was that serious. She had just told Hermione the whole story, and how Draco Malfoy gave her a kiss. "But he's. He always makes from of muggle borns and your family. Why. how can you just like him like that?"
"Well you let my brother kiss you and he always calls you book worm and teases you." Ginny pointed out.
"But I've known Ron long and we call each other names as a sign of affection now, he half the time does it for attention. Malfoy's a totally different case.. And what about Harry?" Ginny just sighed.
"He doesn't care about me. I'm just Ron's cute little sister. It's time for me to move on to guys who care about me in a whole other way. He loves me."
