A/N- To anyone who was questioning, it is an Ron /Hermione fic. be patient. I didn't say they were going to be together from the beginning to the end did I? And about the Harry Ginny part, I just decided that when I was writing the chapters, but I don't think anyone has real serious complaints about it huh?

Tinkerbell, thanks for all your reviews, they really ,mean alot to me. and without further ado.

Note- This starts while Britany was gone, right after Chapter 5

Chapter 7- Hidden Agenda

"Just tell me what happened Hermione." Ginny moaned exasperatedly. Hermione had just burst into the room crying.

"He, we, we were arguing, because of that stupid Britany! And then he brought up Viktor, and he brought up the day Ron and I had gotten into the big fight, you know Harry, the one right before we found your father's trunk?" She raised an eyebrow at this, seeming to infer more than she said. Ginny had no idea what was going on, but Harry knew, Harry knew all too well.

It had been a rainy Quidditch Practice, before the keeper had been chosen, and Harry walked into the Gryffindor Common Room.

"I wouldn't go to your dorm Harry, Ron and Hermione had another one of their rows, and he went storming upstairs, then she went chasing after him.." Dean said, as he and Seamus sat in the armchairs by the fire. Harry snuck upstairs and stood staring through a small crack in the door. He watched as Hermione and Ron fought, and as Hermione and Ron fought more. He watched as his best friend practically laid his heart out on the table for Hermione, and he watched as she stepped on it, let all the blood spatter out, and continue to prick at it with one word,

'yes'

It wasn't hard for Harry to realize Ron loved Hermione, it wasn't even hard for Harry to cope with those feelings, but he had some strange notion that Hermione had liked Ron back. Ever since that day Ron and Hermione were never the same. On the outside maybe, they carried on as if it had been a typical argument, but since then the passion in their relationship was gone. They still fought over every little thing, but the heated anxiety that was there had vanished, and the magic that went along with it disappeared.

"Hermione, what did he say though?" Harry asked. Hermione looked at Harry pointedly and asked,

"Lemme borrow your cloak." he looked shocked in surprise, "It's hanging out your pocket. It is your invisibility one right?" harry nodded and hand the cloak over to Hermione, who wiped her tears away with it.

"How could he do this to me Harry, you know it, and you see. How could he like that dumb, stupid Britany and not me?"

"Hermione, he did like you, but you know exactly why he's not chasing you, you know exactly what was said." Hermione nodded her head solemnly.

"I know Harry, but, but, but I love him, doesn't that count for anything?"

"I know you do Hermione, and I hate to say it, but it's on you now. You made the mess and your the only one who can get out of it. And calling Britany names isn't going to help it."

"I knew you'd take his side!" She raged at Harry. She snatched up his cloak and walked out of the room, not turning back. She started to go up to her room, but something stopped her. It was a glimpse of red hair that was in the common room. Hermione looked down at the cloak in her hands and looked over toward the common room below.

She threw the cloak over herself, making sure she was completely covered and walked down into the great hall. She sat there and stared at Ron, the way he looked when he was thinking hard about something made her melt inside. She remembered the day they all had become Animagi, Ron a fox, herself an owl, and Harry a Phoenix. They had all worked hard on it, but none as much as Ron. The potion they had to make for it was a personal one, and no one could make it but themselves. Ron's potion had failed tons of times before he could do it right, but for some reason Hermione seemed to get it on the first try. It wasn't because of her booksmarts either, it was something else, she just knew herself.

"Okay." Hermione looked up and saw Ron and Britany exiting the common room. She had no idea what, but she had an urge to follow. Slowly she made her way over the portrait hole before it closed, and as the two walked in silence down the corridor Hermione followed, hidden by the cloak.

They two exited through the great big Oak doors in front of the castle, but Hermione thought it'd be better if she waited a bit before leaving, because they would see the door opening.

"Three, two one." She told herself, and opened the doors slightly, slipping through them.. Ron and Britany were standing in front of her talking. She didn't get to catch their conversation though because all of a sudden they transformed. Ron into his fox form, and Britany into a Pink Farrel. A Farrel was a part of the fox family, but close to a fox. Nearly exactly like a fox.

"No, no, no, no,.no." Hermione muttered to herself as she leaned against the wall, falling to a sitting position. her head in her hands. She couldn't believe he had broken their word, their promise.

* * * * *

"Okay guys, let's promise never to show anyone without consulting the others about it okay?" Harry put his hand out. Hermione and Ron put their hands out over it and chanted,

"Okay." The three laughed about it all night, and once midnight came, prowled around all night.

* * * * *

"I'm sorry." Hermione muttered to herself, a river of silent tears pouring down her face.

A/N- I hope you like it, it was writtenin a hurry, but the message is the same. I have to do a Harry, Ginny one next, and I'll announce the ball and everything. Thanks for reading, please review!!!
