Chapter 2

After the whole Mrs Weasley versus The twins while the family and their guests ate dinner, Harry and Ron began their third Wizard's chess game. Ron beat up Harry without breaking a sweat. It was hilarious how Harry looked so concentrating a minute and seconds later being crushed by Mighty Ron himself. Hermione was sitting in front of the hearth reading a muggle novel 'The horse whisperer'. She was absorbed by the words and suddenly.



"Mwhahaha!!! I beat up you again! This is so sweet Harry. You don't have to let me win, I know I'm better than you." said Ron with an overwrought expression showing itself on his face.

Harry gave Ron his 'Super deadly glare of death' but it didn't change the situation at all it made Ron laugh harder than previously.



"Harry you look so cute!" exclaimed Ron with a girly voice making fun Lavender and Parvati two other Gryffindor comrades.





"I'm up for another game and you?" asked Harry making his best not to pull Ron's head off.





"Okay." said Ron cutting off his big sounds of laugher.



Hermione put down her book and took a seat near their playing zone. Ron and Harry were unusually silent and concentrating so hard that you could see sweat drops crawling down the foreheads. Ron's ears were turning beet red because he could feel her eyes on him. * Why can't she just look at Harry instead of me? Isn't she suppose to be enamoured with Viktor?*





Hermione saw Ron's expression while Harry played his turn. He looked angry and annoyed. But Ron to save himself from Hermione's suspicions immediately started to scratch his back and he growled to make it look real. Harry watched the scene in front of him and smiled at Ron's actions. Ron played his final move and checkmated Harry once again. But this time he didn't burst out of laugher he contained himself.





"I mean!!! I didn't see it coming, I don't believe it! It's unbelievable, really!" said Harry in amazement once again.







"I have to admit Ron, you really surprised me there. I thought you were stressing out a strategy and out of the blue you just win the game." said Hermione with complete sincerity.





"Thank you. Who wants to play against me?" asked Ron to his two best friends.





"I would like to play." said a voice behind them. It was Ginny dressed up in night clothes. She looked and disturbed.





"You guys woke me up." she added grumpily.



And her brother's mouth formed itself in a big happy grin. "Happy to know we are the reason you are up and willing to play a game against the best opponent of all time." said Ron pointing himself with his two hands.





"Don't be so sure about yourself!" warned Ginny with a mischievous grin.

So Ginny took place in Harry's seat. She set up the rule the one who lose get to chose the next opponent. Ron agreed and got ready to beat his sister. Even he was cruel with his little sister. The red boy didn't want to give it a rest at all. His eyes grew darker with determination and fatigue. The minutes passed up to 45 minutes and Ginny got also crushed by a Ronzilla. Ginny chose Hermione to take the lead and defend the honour of the crushed opponents' league. She blushed and took her seat. Ron smile at her and she noticed that when Ron smiled that his ears were moving upwards (the girl is head over heels for this boy). He passed his hand in his too long fiery hair and played his first move. They didn't notice or neither heard Harry and Ginny wishing them goodnight.



They played intensely and suddenly Hermione got cornered and was titled has Ronzilla's newest pray.



"It was the first time I ever played against you." concluded Ron.



"Probably the last one too." yawned Hermione.





"Do you know what time it is?" asked Ron to his friend.



"No."





"It's two o'clock I can't believe I played 5 games in a row sitting in this chair. I don't think I can get up." said Ron.



He stood up and they both heard his bones cracked at his movement. He had a funny face like he was about to die of his sudden 'Bones Music Hall'. Hermione looked at him and he tried to maintain his balance. She extended a hand and grabbed his shoulder to steady him.



"Thank you or it would have caused an earthquake." sighed a Ron with a big flashing red sign saying 'relief' on his face.





"You welcome." said Hermione smiling maybe too widely to Ron.

Ron captured this smile and applauded himself mentally. He grinned mentally at his effect on Hermione. * You sick git! She's your best friend you're not suppose to enjoy see her embarrassed.* thought Ron kicking himself mentally.

"Ron? You okay?" asked Hermione.



"I just feel dizzy, must be fatigue." lied Ron.





"Yeah or simply your brain complaining about your sudden intellectual overtime." spat Hermione simply.





"You know I like it better when you're not making jokes because they really aren't making me laugh." said Ron to her with a hurt look.





"I was just kidding!" exclaimed Hermione.





"Well, ha ha ha! I'm laughing, laughing big time here! You know what for one minute I thought we could act around each other really like friends but I obliviously thought wrong. Ah! I get it! IT must be because of my brain overtime!" spat Ron again this time holding his head.





"Look don't-





"Don't you tell me what to do Hermione, just don't! I'm sorry but- do you see how confused I am? I don't even know what I'm sorry about!" said Ron holding his head again.



She looked at the boy in front of her. He really did change but he looked in pain. He curved himself upfront and fell on his knees. He was just there struggling after something unknown. She walked up to him but his reflexes made him get up. His eyes were flashing into neon blue color and changed into a green one. His eyes were changing colors constantly. He suddenly disappeared and reappeared his feet up to the ceiling. And he fell head down to the floor but he did a half vertical turn on himself and landed on his feet. Hermione stood there like a fish with her mouth wide open. Ron looked like he was going to throw up. He just stood up on his ceiling in front Hermione in his own living room.

She looked at him blankly with her eyes filled with confusion and fear. He bowed his head at her and lifted it few seconds later. He formed his mouth to speak. But Hermione looked at him with an angry expression so he closed it and turned his back on her. As he walked he just watch the tiles on the floor. But somebody got hold on his hand.



It was Hermione's (who else!!!) she looked at him with the same expression as before. He spun around to face her with his knees bended.



"Don't look at me like this. Its hard for me to understand it, I don't want to argue over a pointless subject with as we always did because it will be a waste of time. I'll go straight to the point before you fall asleep. You have two choices, okay?" he said to her with his eyes begging for an answer.



She simple nodded. It was enough for him to continue. He didn't have any time to enjoy one of the few moments where he got the opportunity to leave Hermione completely speechless.



"You can help me by acting as a friend or ignore me, which by the way would be pretty hard." Once he finished his sentence he turned his heels and ran down the stairs leaving a once again speechless Hermione.

. I'm bad aren't I? First I wanted to slip his powers little by little with Harry and Ron. But then I thought, that will so not be a Ron and Hermione if I don't make them argue! I'm thinking about my next chapter but you readers can do something to cheer me up

You guys know what I'm talking about! Please. If you have any ideas, I'm open to all kind of suggestions.
