"Hey Herm?"
Hermione looked up from her sitting position on the floor and stared up at Ron who was absently playing with her hair.
"Yeah?"
Ron looked down at her and smiled.
"I was wondering if..
'Here it is,' thought Hermione. 'After all these years Ron is going to tell me he has feelings for me.' Hermione had had a crush on Ron forever. His cute red hair. The freckles. She loved every aspect about that boy. Including his infamous Weasley temper. She was constantly-
"...if you could help me with my Arithmancy homework. I know that you know how to do it. I'm not asking you to cheat or anything I just need some help."
Hermione forced a smile onto her face. 'Why do I even bother? He's too thick to see anything.'
"Sure Ron. How about we go down to the library? It should be more quiet and it's away from distractions."
Ron stood, "sure whatever you want...you are the one that knows everything after all."
The thing that Ron did next wasn't at all expected. He, rather awkwardly mind you, kissed Hermione on the cheek. After blushing profusely, he practically ran up the stairs to his dormitory to get his stuff.
Hermione raised her hand to the spot on her cheek where just seconds ago, Ron had gently placed his lips. She sighed and started up the stairs to get her books, wondering why Ron wouldn't just wake up and see that liked him.
Once in the library, Ron couldn't concentrate he fidegeted left and right, making Hermione lose her patience.
"Ron!"
Ron stopped trying the balance his pencil on his forefinger and looked at her with a bemused smile on his face.
"Yeah?"
Hermione pulled out a scrap of paper and scribbled down something on. Handing the paper to Ron she told him, "go find this book. It will help us. While you do that I will try to make some sense of you essay.
Glad to have something to do, Ron grabbed the paper, brushing Hermione's hand as he did so. He either didn't notice her small gasp of surprise or didn't care because he pushed himself out of the seat and started searching for the book. Looking for that book...that's what led him to her.
