Hermione and Ron refused to talk. Their silence lasted until Christmas break. Harmione and Carrie were hanging out alot, and Harry was stuck in the middle between the two of them. Hermione was helping Carrie with her Transfiguration homework, when Ron saw them.

"Mental, Hermione is acting. We've seen how Malfoy acts, and an acorn doesn't fall to far from the tree," Ron said. Harry just rolled his eyes behind Ron's back. Ron had been going on like this for weeks. He was obviously still in love with Hermione.

Hermione saw that Ron was watching her and Carrie.

"C'mon Carrie. Let's go up to the dormatories. We can concentrate better up there," Hermione said, glaring ay Ron.

"Bye, Harry. I'm going to bed," Ron said. Harry watched both of his best friends walk up seperate ways. Harry just sighed at slumped on the couch. He hated being stuck between his two friends.

When the Hogwarts students woke up the next morning, twelve inches of snow covered the lawns of Hogwarts.

"C'mon Ron! Wake up! There's snow!" Harry yelled in Ron's ear.

"Okay, Okay, I'm up already," Ron said.

"Let's cream Fred and George with snowballs before they get us," Harry said.

A half an hour later Ron, Harry, Fred, and George were outside having a snowball fight. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~Early morning in the girl's dormatory.

"Hermione," Ginny said.

"Hermione, wake up!" said Carrie.

Hermione rolled over. She looked horrible. Her eyes were red and puffy. She had cried herself to sleep. Ginny and Carrie noticed, but they didn't say anything.

"What d'you want?" Hermione said grumpily.

"Er, it's snowing , and we were wonderin if you wanted to go sledding," Carrie said nervously.

"Yeah, I want to come. Sorry, I snapped at you. Let me get tidied up a bit," Hermione said.

Carrie and Ginyn left. Hermione climbed out of her bed. She spotted Lavendar's make-up bag on her vanity.

"Er, Lavendar, can I use some of your make-up?" Hermione asked.

"Sure, whatever," Lavendar said tiredly, but then she sat up. "Why do wou want to use make-up? You've never used it before."

"Er, I think I'm just ready for a change," Hermione lied. Really she wanted to impress Ron. Hermione pulled out the blush and stared at it like it was from another planet.

"Do you want me to do it, Hermione?" Lavendar asked.

"Yeah, that would be a great help," Hermione said, greatfully. "But don't put on to much. I want it to look natural.

"Sure," Lavendar said. She pulled out her light blush and accented Hermione's cheeks. Then, she grabbed the brown eye shadow, and put it on Hermione's eyelids. It made Hermione's eyes look like chocolate. Lavendar finished with a little bit of mascara

"There," Lavendar said.

"Thanks," Hermione said. "We're going sledding, do you want to comme?"

"Nah, I'm just gonna go back to bed," Lavendar replied.

"Oh, sorry for waking you up," Hermione said as she ran down the stairs to meet Ginny and Carrie.

"Wow, you look great," said Carrie.

"Thanks," said Hermione. She walked down to breakfast, but Carrie and Ginny stayed a little bit behind her to talk.

"She's doing it to impress Ron," Ginny whispered.

"Totally," Carrie agreed.

Hermione went down to brekafast. She spotted Cho at the Ravenclaw table, she decided to ask Cho if she wanted to go sledding. She went to the Ravenclaw table and sat next to Cho.

"Wait, you can't sit here. You're a Gryffindor," said Mandy Brocklehurst, a fifth year Ravenclaw.

"Don't worry, I'm only going to be here for a second," Hermione said.

"Whatever," Mandy said nonchalantly. Hermione just raised her eyebrow, but then turned to Cho.

"Hey Cho, a bunch of us are going sledding. Do you want to come?" Hermione asked.

"Sure, but is it okay if I bring some friends along?" Cho said.

"Fine," said Hermione.

"I really want to see Harry, too," Cho began. " I really like him." She blushed and laughed.

"Oh, Hary Potter. That is so sweet," Mandy said in a sugary sweet voice, but Hermione noticed Mandy was glaring at Cho.

"Er, okay. I'm going to leave now," Hemrione said. Mandy's piercing blue eyes turned on her. Hermione felt as if Mandy was giving her a warning.

Fifteen minutes later Cho, Hermione, Carrie, Ginny, and the three Ravenclaw chasers, Emily Robbins, Kellie Lehr, and Renee Vaughn, set of to go sledding. A/N: I don't know the three Ravenclaw chasers, so I just made up the names. If anyone knows who they are, tell me! Fred, George, Harry, and Ron were having a snowball fight. Hermione just glared at Ron.

"Guess she doesn't like him as much as we thought," Carrie whispered to Ginny. Ginny nodded.

"Check out Hermione," Harry said.

Fred whistled. "She is looking hot today," George said.

"Whatever," said Ron glaring at her. "She's going to get screwed. Why can't she see that?" Ron thought.

Cho and Hermione went down the hill first. They didn;t notice but there was a ditch rite at the end. The sled went in and catapolted Cho and Hermione out of the sled.

"Ohmigosh," said Ron. Harry and him started running. Ron ran to Hermone and Harry ran to Cho.

Ron pulled Hermione out of the snow and brushed the snow out of her brown hair.

"Er, you ok?" Ron said feeling a bit awkward.

"Yeah," said Hermione feeling awkward, too.

"I am so sorry," Ron and Hermione said at the same time. They both laughed. Ron pulled Hermione out of the snow and kissed her.

Meanwhile, Harry was helping Cho out of the snow.

"You really scared the crap out of me Cho," Harry said. "I really like you. In fact, I love you. I always have, since the first time I laid eyes on you." He began to blush at this point.

"Harry, I am so happy! I love you, too," Cho said with joy. Cho jumped into Harry's arms and kissed him.

Two happy couples stood in the snow, kissing, while snow fell into their hair. Everyone and everything seemed to be in complete bliss. Even Harry, because he didn't mint his best friends going out. Atleast they weren't fighting. Except one person.

Mandy Brocklehurst pulled her light brown hair out of her eyes in the North Tower. She looked down with her piercing blue eyes. She glared at Cho and Harry kissing. If looks could kill, Cho would have been dead. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Okay, this chapter was crap, but oh well! Er in know it sucks so please no flames, just what I need to do to improve it. Mandy Brocklehurst if you were wondering was mentioned like once in all five of the books, but she is going to be a major part in this fan fic if you were wondering. Er hope you like it.
