A World of Surprises Chapter 2

"What are you going to tell Ron?" Hermione asked, looking up from her work. Harry and her were sitting at a table in a corner of the common room doing their homework.

"What do you mean, what am I going to tell Ron? What's to tell?" Harry said, wondering if by some impossible way she could know what happened yesterday. I mean, she is Hermione.

"Oh come off it, Harry. If you didn't want anyone to know you shouldn't have been kissing in the common room. Anyone could have walked in. Your lucky it was only me." She answered, quite proud at her vast knowledge of Harry's personal life.

"You mean.. You.but how?" Hermione only smiled even wider.

"It's been obvious since the beginning of the year, the way you look at her. I'm surprised it took you this long to ask her out."

"But then..how come Ron didn't notice?"

"Number one: he's a guy. And two: it's Ron. How can you expect him to notice anything." Hermione laughed at the look of horror on Harry's face. He knew Ron would be mad, but it had just dawned on him how extremely mad he would be. When Hermoine went to the Yule Ball with Krum, Ron had went ballistic. Harry couldn't even imagine how much worse it would be with his little sister. Then he had a sudden idea and a sly grin came across his face.

"Hermione?" He asked sweetly. She looked up at him suspisicily. "Will you tell Ron? We both know he likes you and he'll be easier on me if it comes from you." He didn't really think Ron would be easier on him no matter who it came from, but he would rather not be there when Ron found out. Hermoine grunted and went back to work, but not before spending several seconds glaring at Harry. The tables had turned and she didn't like the direction that they were pointing. Everyone knew that Ron and Hermione liked each other but, of course, Ron and Hermione. And even so, they were too stubborn to admit.

"Oh come on, aren't you a little old for this? Why don't you just ask him out?" Hermione glared at him once again. Then she gathered her books and went up the stairs to her dorm, muttering something about all the rubish people were spreading about her and Ron.

A few minutes later, Harry gave up on his divination homework and tried to figure out a way to tell Ron without him killing him. Then Ron came in and sat down.

"Where's Hermione? I've got great news." Ron said with a innocent but big grin on his face.

"Up in her room." Harry muttered, still deep in thought. But his thoughts had wondered from Ron to how beautiful Ginny was.

"What's great news? Ginny asked. Harry grinned stupidly as she sat down, but Ron didn't notice. He was scowling at Ginny.

"I'm going to the Christmas Dance with Lavender." Ron said and then bounded up the stairs to get his homework..

"Lavender?" Ginny grumbeled.

"He's in denial."

"Did you tell him yet?" Ginny asked.

"Do you really think he would be that happy if I had. Anyway, I was kind of hoping you would."

"No way! I couldn't stand living with him, he'd be so mad."

"Hey, I'm not that bad. And you only have to live with him for three with months. I'm with him for nine months."

"Good luck, then." She smiled and ran up the stairs.
