Since Lavender and Seamus left about a week ago, it's mostly just been
Hermione and Ron. They have been spending a lot of time toghether. Harry is
always with Cho, according to Ron, "Doing God knows what!".
"They have been awfully frisky lately. I know Cho and Harry really like each other and all but whoa! They've never been like this before," Ron said. He looked around the candy shot for some Wizard Wheezes and Bertie Bott's every flavour Beans. "Ever since that kiss you gave Seamus before he left ..."
"What do you mean by that Ron?" Hermione asked suspiciously.
"I'm just curious as to where that came from. I mean .. we all know that you're not really the affectionate type. I know you Hermione," Ron explained.
"People can change Ron-"
"In such a short time?" This stopped Hermione. She didn't really want to start talking about her insecurities but for some reason she felt so comfortable with Ron.
"I don't know why I was like that before. It's not that I didn't want to ... I just wasn't used to it. But now I am! I really love Seamus! There's nothing I wouldn't do for him. He knows that," she said handing him a bag of Bertie Botts.
"Sure .." he said not believing.
"Let's go back to Hogwarts. It's getting late," Hermione said. Ron agreed. He grabbed all the candy he could get and paid for it. As they walked back, Ron couldn't help but ask.
"So are you telling me that .. that was the first time that you guys had anything like that? That whole kiss thing?" Ron asked not ashamed. Hermione sighed.
'None of your business Ron."
"Just curious."
"Shut up Ron." They ended up bickering like this until they got back to the castle. They still weren't done when they were about to walk in a door that they didn't realize wasn't the entrance to the common room. Not realizing it, Ron opened a door to a hidden broom closet. As Ron opened the door not looking what he was opening was a sudden shriek.
Inside was Harry and Cho all over each other. Ron quickly closed the door. Hermione saw that too. They both exchanged looks of almost bursting laughter and ran. They eventually found the common room entrance and they entered laughing.
"That was disturbing," Ron said trying to catch his breath. Hermione was trying to catch her breath too.
"I agree! I can't believe they were such good friends at first. Now they're .. doing .. that ..." Hermione said with a awkward look on her face.
"Yeah! That's like you and me or something!" Ron said laughing. Then he stopped. Something about that sentence made the room fill with silence. Then an awkward chuckle came from Hermione.
"Heh .. yeah .. you and me. That's ... aherm ... funny ... What a thought!" Hermione said slowly then rather rapidly. Ron started fidgeting with his cloak. He gave a small shy chuckle too.
"Heh heh .." He nervously laughed, "Well .. er .. it's getting late. I'll head to bed!" Without saying goodbye, he ran up the stair without a backward glance. Hermione stood there not knowing what to think. She didn't understand why the situation got so awkward. It's not like they haven't seen anything like that before! Hermione decided to go to bed too. She shook the thoughts away and headed up to her dormitory.
