Set in 5th year.

A Slight and quick look into our Favorite couple

Anyone in Gryffindor would tell you that no matter what the surprises that were awaiting him or her each year, 3 things remained constant, sort of like tradition. They were, in ascending order:

Winning the House Cup Gred and Forge Weasly Parties And of course, the most entertaining tradition, Hermione and Ron's arguments.

Of course, no one would ever, in their right minds, tell the two that their arguments were the highlights of the year. Ron had not only grown a few inches taller but had also put on plenty of muscles while Hermione still held the post of best witch the last 5 years. Their tempers were legendary and no one but each other could endure the raging gale.

Everyone had by the fourth year rightly guessed that Ron had something for Hermione. In fact Snape had been heard to snort and mutter during one of Ron and Hermione's infamous fights something to the effect that sounded like (This cannot be confirmed!)

" Why can't they just shag and get it done with?!"

Even Dumbledore seemed to get a sentimental smile whenever he beheld the two, screaming loud enough to wake the dead.

But funnily enough no matter how much they screamed about never talking again, about hating each other, on each other's habits and yada yada.They never stopped being friends. You would have thought they despised each other the way they spoke so hurtfully of each other.

However, Hermione never missed a chance to go support Ron (and Harry) during Quidditch matches and she also came down for all their training, especially to cheer for Ron. You would have thought it was her on the pitch, the way she screamed at the opponents. What also couldn't be missed of course was the thumbs-up Ron gave to the crowd, after each save, specifically for one person. They also spent every lunch, breakfast and dinner together. It was really funny to see Harry miserably try to satisfy both his best friends, when they had an argument before eating.

Ron for his part never let anyone insult Hermione (except him of course!) and had almost gotten suspended for giving Malfoy a broken nose after he had tried, drunkenly, to kiss Hermione. He seemed to consider Hermione his private property, but of course always made it look like brotherly concern. This resulted in many arguments, especially over Krum who continued to keep in contact with Hermione. It was only after she showed Ron that Krum had no interest in her, more than as a friend did Ron ease up. What she didn't know, was that Krum had also sent a separate letter to Ron, urging him to confess his feelings to Hermione. Ron had no idea how, a guy thousands of miles away, could have discerned but had of course denied it vehemently and tore up the letter. Harry laughed, as Ron muttered and cursed in his sleep the entire night.

It made Lavender and Parvati sigh, watching the two of them at loggerheads one moment and smiling meaningfully, the next. Everyone in Gryffindor had seen the longing look Ron gave Hermione when he thought she wasn't looking. And it was pretty obvious that she didn't constantly make him study with her just for the sake of keeping his grades up.

The two of them often drove Harry wild with the hate-love relationship. If it weren't for Ginny he would have seriously strangled both of them. That too had been another issue. When Ron had first found out about his best friend and baby sister, he had chased Harry throughout the entire castle and almost into the forbidden forest with a mad murderous look on his face. It took both the Weasly twins and Seamus and Dean to hold back Ron, in the common room, to allow Harry to explain.

The twins had given their blessing long ago and had also expressed the hope that their younger brother, would also come clean with his feelings about the resident brainiac, but not too much. They both found it extremely fun to bother Ron and drop little hints about his crush, making Ron turn red and start stammering before bolting out of the room. Hermione, despite being the only person Snape had ever truthfully praised, still managed to not understand what the joke was about and even scolded the twins for bothering Ron. This had just brought more laughs, resulting in her also storming off to console/comfort Ron.

Being the incurable gossips they were, everyone in the common room had stopped to listen to the weekly entertainment.

" My bloody best friend! How could you do something like that!" shouted Ron, completely red in the face. The twins held on to him tightly. He had just earlier, almost done what Voldermot had not been able to do for 5 years.

" What exactly have I done?! So what, we are going out? What the hell is wrong with that?" yelled Harry back, ignoring the knowing smiles Fred was giving him. They were more than just going out, but if he told that to Ron now.

"My sister is not something for you to play around with! What about Cho? There are a million girls around for you to snog, why does it have to be Ginny?" yelled Ron back struggling against his brothers.

Ginny and Hermione stood beside them. Hermione looked exasperated while Ginny looked torn between being worried for Harry and being extremely pissed with Ron. "She's till so young and vulnerable- "

"Are you crazy? She is only a year younger than we are! Why can't you just let her decide if she wants this?" said Harry growing angry as well. Why couldn't Ron just except it?

" Cause she's my baby sister and I am not going to let any guy play around and hurt her!!" yelled Ron, finally breaking free of his brothers and getting a stranglehold on Harry.

Screams and laughter came from the people watching. Sometimes, the Gryffindor common room was really the place to be. After rolling on the ground for a while, Harry finally managed to push Ron into the sofa. Looking absolutely pissed, he screamed.

" Are you insane!?! I am N-O-T G-O-I-N-G TO DO THAT! I LOVE HER!!"

That however was something that no one quite expected. Crushes and all the teenage hormonal stuff were quite common. Love was something different. The whole common room suddenly shut up, including Ron who looked absolutely shocked. Only Harry didn't notice and in fact kept creaming away.

" YEAH I LOVE HER! I, HARRY POTTER LOVE VIRGINIA WEASLY AND IF YO-" He suddenly stopped, realizing that the whole room was looking in amazement at him. His face turned red to match Ron's hair as he finally realized what he had just admitted to probably the entire castle. Before he could turn to run, he became aware of Ginny walking up to him, her eyes glinting in the firelight. She looked caught between shock and joy.

" Err.. Ginny I-"

He never got to finish cause Ginny suddenly reached up and kissed him hard. The entire room burst into applause and there were also some tears. This kind of drama was unbeatable.

The only one not enjoying all this was Ron, who again, turned livid watching them both kiss. He once again, tried to grab Harry and both Harry and Ginny took a step back. They couldn't believe Ron was still mad even after what he just heard. Looking at his face, they wondered if there was anything that could ever convince him.

Right then, irritated and tired of the drama, Hermione walked up to Ron. Both the twins and Lee now, and Seamus and Dean were still struggling to hold him. Hermione took one look and placed a hand on his chest. Immediately Ron stopped. George looked at Hermione in amazement.

Six guys hadn't been able to hold Ron and she stopped him with one hand. With one look Hermione told the boys to let go of Ron. Grabbing his hand she dragged him out of the room.

They returned within a few minutes, Ron looking chastened and Hermione smirking slightly. Ron, walked up to Harry and Ginny, his ears still red. Both Harry and Ginny backed off slightly, unsure of what was going to happen next. Ron looked at both as them, them suddenly looked at Hermione pleadingly. She glared back at him. Turning back, he swallowed hard and said in a low voice,

"Ithinkitsgreatthatyouaredatingherbutdon'thurtherorIwillkillyou."

The entire room looked in shock, none more than Harry. Did Ron just accept him? Wild thoughts of running into Ron's arms and shouting Brother suddenly popped out. But thankfully he didn't. He still wanted to say something when Ron brushed past him and up the stairs to their room, wishing everyone a good night, without actually looking at anyone in particular.

Ginny squealed and hugged Hermione. "Thanks! What did you say to him?"

" Yeah Hermione, he s never ever agreed to let Ginny date before. You must have had a great argument." Said George raising his eyebrows suggestively.

" Yeah, What did you say?" Harry asked curious. All other Gryffindors, were now looking at Hermione. Who, in turn lost the smirk and began to turn red. " Uh."
