of a story.
"Really Ron. How can you be so scared of a spider?" Hermione asked as she and Ron walked towards the lake. Ron glared at her as if he would kill her for her comment.
"JUST a spider? 'Mione, he used to be Hagrid's pet. Does THAT mean anything?" she just sighed when she knew he had a point. Anything that Hagrid fancied must be vicious. Cute for him is a creature with claws and fangs that could dismember or even kill you.
"The better reason for us to stay together," Hermione sighed in frustration. Honestly, if Ron were any more dense light would bend around him.
"They'll be fine," Ron said as he suddenly held her hand. Hermione blushed as she wrapped her hand around his. She turned around and looked deeply into his eyes seeing longing and desire. She was about to lean on his firm chest when...
"Ginny friend! Ginny brother! Hearts one!" Carbuncle exclaimed happily as she waited for them by the lake's bank. Hermione looked at Carbuncle and sighed.
"You have the worst timing," Hermione murmured and walked towards the little creature. Earlier, Ginny told Carbuncle to guide Hermione and Ron through the quest. She was more than happy to comply but Hermione wished that she could just have a little time...
"So?" Ron said as he looked at the lake. Hermione frowned at him. Was hat disappointment in his voice? "How do we breath? Do we have gillweed?"
I was hoping to perform a bubble head spell," she said but before she could take out her wand they were enveloped in a red light. Hermione turned to see that Carbuncle's ruby glowed and shone its light on them. After a few moments the light ebbed and Carbuncle's eyes smiled at them.
"Breath!" she said happily.
"What just happened?" Ron asked as he looked at his body then to Hermione's. For an answer, Hermione dipped her head underwater. Soon she rose up and smiled at Ron.
"I can breath underwater," she said looking at Carbuncle in amusement. The little creature beamed in her accomplishment. "Come on Ron," she said as she pulled him in.
"Wait!" he struggled but he was already inside the cold water of the lake.

"Is that it?" Ron asked as he spied a statue that looked like the summoner. Hermione smiled as she saw the Light of Alexandria on the breast of the statue. It was a crescent shaped gem the size of her palm.
"It's marvelous," she said as she ran her hands on the Light upon they reached the statue. She delicately touched the Light searching for a way to remove it.
"Be careful," he said sincerely. He looked about to see if they were being watched but he didn't see anything. Hermione finally got the Light lose and held it in her hand. She then pocketed it and looked at Ron.
"That was easy," she said. Ron's eyes suddenly grew in alarm when he saw a massive object speeding towards them. Ron suddenly pushed Hermione as the creature attacked them, slamming into Ron in breakneck speeds.
"Ron!" Hermoine called as she saw this giant lizard-like shark hitting her Ron. She quickly swam his way but the fish was faster. It slammed Rom again, making him spin out of control.
Hermione took out her wand but her mind was confused. What spell she could use against it? Before anything came up in her mind a long and large serpent creature suddenly struck the fish, freeing Ron from certain death. Hermione immediately swam towards him as pulled him up.
From the corner of her eye she saw the serpent battling the shark. Its coils snared the shark as it looked at them, as if seeing to their progress. Hermione didn't have time to watch the battle for she needed to get Ron to safety.
They broke the surface of the water with a gasp but Hermione saw that Ron was still unconscious. Swimming for the bank, she held Ron's head up high, not knowing if Carbuncle's spell had worn off. Carbuncle anxiously waited for them, her eyes were filled with worry. They were still to far away and Hermione's strength faded from each stroke.
She felt herself sink from exhaustion, her mind crying for help. Her mind wishing she had told him how she felt.
Suddenly, she felt something large pushing her towards the shore. She was too tired to think and all her remaining strength focused on getting Ron to safety. She felt the cool sand on her skin and she realized that she was already on dry land.
Hurriedly, she felt for Ron's pulse but she can't feel him breathing. Immediately, she began to clear the passage to his lungs and began artificial respiration.
"Come on Ron," Hermione's vision blurred as she continued the process. Carbuncle was nudging his hand in hopes that he would awaken. Ron suddenly coughed out the water in his lungs and Hermoine sighed in relief.
"I thought you were going to die," Hermione couldn't hold the tears back and cried, burying her head in his chest.
"I can't die yet," he said. Hermione blinked, she never heard him so serene in her life. He sat up, holding Hermione with him. She looked up, tears still in her eyes. When she saw his smile, she couldn't help but smile back. Seeing her smile made him realize the things that he was missing. Touching her face, Ron finally made a decision that will change his life forever.
"I have said I love you to you Hermione," there! It was out. It was up to her if she would accept him or shun him.
"What?" she asked, not quite believing what she had heard.
"I, Ron Weasley, am in love with Hermione Granger. Although I don't think she would like someone like me," he smiled as he stroke her hair. Hermione smiled as new tears blurred her vision.
"That proves you don't know women very well, Ron," she smiled. But before she could talk again, her mouth was already occupied, with Ron's kiss.
Ron suddenly kissed her passionately and she returned it twice as much. He was really thankful that he did. Not just to ease his heart, but to clear all doubts he had. Their kiss was only broken when they needed a breath. Hermione kissed him softly on the cheek and rested on his chest.
Ron, on the other hand, stiffened when he saw the lake.
"Ah, 'Mione?" he shook her and she turned to where he was gazing. Her eyes grew as the head of a large serpentine fish looked at them in leer. As if he was amused at what he saw.
"Levi!" Carbuncle called. The sea serpent looked at the little creature happily and danced in the water.
"I gather that he's friend?" Ron asked. Hermione nodded, but snuggled closer to him. Suddenly, the Light shone from beneath her robe and the sea serpent suddenly vanished. Puzzled, Ron stood, taking Hermione with him.
"Let's see if Harry and Ginny are back," he said. Hermione nodded and they went back to the school.
"Mione?" she heard Ron called.
"Hm?"
"You're the worst swimmer I had ever seen," Ron said but regretted it for Hermione jabbed her fist into his ribs.
"At least I didn't chicken out from spiders," she argued, but was relieved that they were still the same even with his confession. "Oh, and Ron?"
"Yeah?" he rubbed his sides as he waited for her.
"I love you too."
"Does this mean that you're going to the Yule ball with me?" Ron asked hopefully. Hermione looked at him, checking to see if light bended around him.

"What happened?" Harry asked as Ron entered Professor Hart's office.
"We had a little swim," Ron said as he removed his wet robe. Harry handed him a towel and Ron immediately handed it without hesitation to Hermione.
"Thanks," Hermione smiled and started to dry her hair. Harry and Ginny blinked at this exchange. To the naked eye, it seemed like a common event between friends. But they have been friends for too long and they tend to notice subtle changes.
"Anyway," Ginny tried to change the subject, although the one presently on hand was also interesting. "Did you get it?"
They exchanged stories and were each astounded by each other's events. And after a harrowing sequence of events, each knew that they were dealing with something much more.
"Two questions keep popping in my mind," Hermione said as she sipped a cup of hot chocolate that had been apparently left for them. "One is where's the third key."
"And the other?" Harry prompted.
"Where's the professor?" they all looked at each other not knowing the answer. Suddenly the door opened and the Griffindors jumped in surprise, thinking it was a teacher. They were right.
Professor Hart staggered as he entered, his clothes were burned and stained with blood. Under his arm was a large book, intricate and old. But what the four saw was how badly shaped he was.
"Professor!" Ginny and Harry exclaimed, running to his side. There they saw dark blood seeping through infected wounds. Half of his face was covered in blood while the rest of his body was badly singed. In other words, he was a bloody mess.
"I hate being summoned," Leon Hart said before he lost consciousness.
"And I thought we had it bad," Ron said as he went to help the professor.
