Chapter 4: Where the heart is.

The next few days, Ron was going very hard, as Captain, on the Quidditich Team. every night they had practice and they spent 5 hours doing drills. By the third day, Harry was quite worried and very tired. After Hermione and Ginny and everyone else went to bed except Ron, who was working on new routines for the game that weekend. Harry approached him in the common room. He got right up to his face by standing on his tip-toes.

"WEASLEY!" Harry shouted. "I need to talk to you..." He half-shouted yet very calmly it was almost scary.

"Potter...what is it?" Ron snapped, looking up at him, shocked,"I'm a bit busy at the moment. I'll give you five minutes though."

"Oh gee...thanks." Harry said sarcastically and coldly. "Lay off the Captain stuff okay? By the game this weekend our team will suck. We're already exhausted...."

Ron glared at him furiously. "Just because I'm stealing some of your 'glory'. Doesn't mean you have to be all....all...JEALOUS!"

Harry opened his mouth. "HOW COULD YOU SAY SOMETHING LIKE THAT?! YOU'RE MY BEST FRIEND RON! I WOULD NEVER BE JEALOUS OF YOU! YOU CAN HAVE ALL THE GLORY AND THE FAME! I don't care..." Harry shouted so loudly, Hermione and Ginny stumbled down the stairs.

Ron looked over at them, bright red in fury. "WHY DON'T YOU GO SNOG MY SISTER THEN! HARRY! My...'best friend'...I don't think...."

Harry's mouth opened wider and fury. Hermione ran and held his arms back and whispered in his ear. "Harry...leave him alone...he's being childish. Be the grown-up! Please...?! Do it for me and Ginny..." She let go of his arms and stepped back beside Ginny.

Harry's mouth shut, he looked back at Ginny and Hermione and forced a smile. He looked at Ron and glared. He turned on his heel and ran up to his dormatory.Ginny ran after him as fast she could.

Hermione stared at Ron and he stared back. She walked up to him and grabbed his tie, looking into his bright blue eyes. He swallowed hard and said softly. "I-I'm sorry...I didn't know what got into me..."

To his great surprise and relief, she smiled sweetly. He smiled back at this sight.

"Ron...I know you didn't mean to blow up like that...it's partly my fault...I guess..." Hermione said slowly, mesmorized by his eyes.

"It's not your fault..." Ron said slowly. "Why would it be...? I just got a little obsessed with my Beater and Captain duties I guess I--"

Hermione put a finger to his lips. "Ron. Stop. It's not your fault either. Though you did sort of go over-board." She stood on her tip-toes and whispered. "I love you," in his ear, kissed his cheek and ran off, letting go of his tie slowly. She ran up to her dorm and hid in her bed.

Ron stood there, amazed. Ron! You idiot! YOU BLOODY GIT! WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY ANYTHINGGGG?! ,Ron thought, smacking his head, SHE KISSED YOU! OH DEAR! THAT'S NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE!

Ron smiled to himself, throwing his Quidditich plans in the fire, took his quill and posted a message on the board in the common room saying, "Quidditich Practice is cancelled until after the game. You guys deserve a break. - Your captain, Ronald Weasley.

He grinned and ran up to his dormatory, happy yet angry, that Harry and Ginny left somewhere.

Hermione and Ron fell asleep the same time that night and shared a dream. Ginny and Harry still no where to be found.

Ron found himself in a beautiful, green pasture. There was a bright blue sky above. He lied on the grass and grinned to himself, taking in the beauty of the place he was.

Ron blinked and played with his knuckles. He noticed, before his eyes, his Quidditich robes turn into blue and black dress robes that fit him perfectly. He gasped, looking up, as the beautiful green pasture turned into the Great Hall, decorated in red, blue, yellow and green. He turned around, grinning at the faces at bypassers as they studied Ron's beautiful new robes.

He noticed as a girl with many curves took his arm. He looked over at her. She had curly hair falling gently on her slender shoulders, he studied her more closely.

Her curly brown hair surrounded her beautiful face, a small nose and beatiful chocolate eyes. She had pink eyeshadow and light pink lips that matched her light pink robes that were made of a floaty material. He grinned, knowing who it was now. Only one person he knew had those beautiful chocolate eyes that made him feel awesome yet like he was going mad.

"Hermione." He said, grinned wider as she nodded, gripping his arm lightly. He spun her around and she giggled. They slow danced. She buried her head in his chest and he set on of his hands behind her neck and the other on her hip. They spun around and noticed a boy and girl dancing more closely than them. This, of course, was unheard of. 'Mione and Ron danced closer, moving toward the intruders. As they got closer they relised who those people were.

The boy was tall and skinny. He had messy jet-black hair, brillant green eyes, round glasses and a lightning-bolt-shaped scar. He was wearing jungle green robes that enhanced the colour of his eyes, like Ron's did. This was, of course, Harry Potter. Boy...did he get tall!, Hermione thought, Wow... hot too...WHAT AM I THINKING?! I LOVE RON!

The girl was shorter and skinnier than Hermione. She had straight, orange- red hair, bright brown eyes, a pretty face, red lips and red eyeshadow, that matched her robes. Her robes were a blood-red colour. This of course, was Ginny Weasley.

"Harry?! Ginny?!" Ron said loudly as Harry and Ginny shared a slow, very passionate kiss. "AHH! MY EYES!" Ron shouted, pulling Hermione away from them and into a private corner. They kissed started kissing gently then more passionately. Hermione sat on his lap, starting to kiss with toungue now, when Harry and Ginny walked over, saw them and ran outside, behind a statue of a dog.

Ron and Hermione woke suddenly and ran downstairs, running into each other and falling to the floor with a loud THUMP!
