Willow sat in The Three Broomsticks (please dont yell at me if I got the name wrong..), a butterbeer in her hand. She
sighs, looking around for Ron, Hermione, and Harry, giddy. She *had* to talk to Ron. It was eating her alive, she was
afraid he might not like her anymore, she had to know. The door opened, and she looked up. Kinren Balisque, a fellow
Ravenclaw walked in. Willow waved to her, forgetting momentarily about her problems. Kinren was about Willow's only
Ravenclaw friend.

"Hullo Kinren!," She called out

"Hi Willow," She replied and sat down next to her.

Madam Rosmerta (once again dont yell at me if I got it wrong) saw the new customer and brought her a butterbeer, of
which she accepted thankfully.

"Howre you?," Willow asked

"Not too bad, and you?," She replied

"Fine.. say, um, have you seen Ron Weasly around at all?,"

"Umm.. I think he was at Zonko's earlier, I dunno where he is now.. why?"

Should I test her? Can I trust her with this? Things like this were going through Willow's mind. Could she actually say what
was on her mind?

"I uh, I just need to talk to him.."

"Oh."

The door opened to the three broomsticks, and in came Harry, Hermione, and Ron. Kinren noticed and nudged Willow,
who nodded to her in thanks, standing up whispering a "see you later".

"Hi Willow," Harry and Hermione said as she walked toward them.

"Hello.. um, Ron?," Willow said, looking to Ron as he raised his head

"..Yea?"

"C'mere," she said simply and took Ron's arm, taking him over to another table.

Hermione and Harry shrugged a little and went to sit with Kinren.

"Whats up with Willow?," Harry asked Kinren

"Well whats wrong with Ron?," Kinren replied

"We dont know. About either of them," Hermione finished.
==--==
"Whats wrong with you Ron? What did I do?," Willow questioned, staring at Ron.

"What do you mean..?"

"You're not talking to me. You're not talking to anyone! You look depressed all the time, youre not even happy to be out
of cla--"

"Okay! okay!"

"Whats wrong Ron"

"I dunno.."

"Yes you do."

"Willow..."

"What?"

"Dont do this"

"Do what? Worry?"

"I'm sorry"

"For what?"

"For.. this"

Willow looked at him, her eyebrow raised. Ron's palms were sweaty, as he reached for her hand. He placed her slender
hand in his and kissed her gently on the cheek. Willow stared.. and so did Hermione. Kinren and Harry were still
discussing this and that, but Hermione was watching the two across the room. Hermione's jaw dropped, though she couldn't
really say she hadn't suspected it sometime or another. She wondered if she should nudge Kinren and Harry, but thought
against it.

Willow stared blankly at Ron.

"Like I said, sorry," he murmered, lowering her head.

Willow shook her head and hugged Ron tight, muttering, "Don't be".

He blushed a deep red and wasn't quite sure if she should return the embrace. Willow let him go, and found herself
grinning. Ron, amazed that he hadn't been slapped yet, grinned back. Hermione did as well.

"C'mon.. Kinren's here," Willow said, starting to walk back.

"M'kay," He replied, walking behind her.

"Hey guys," Harry called out as he saw them approaching.

"Hullo," They both replied.

"Well I see youre both better," commented Kinren.

"Mmhmm," Willow replied.

Hermione remained quiet, Ron sat next to Harry and Willow sat next to Kinren and Hermione. They all talked and laughed,
even Hermione joined in after a while. Ron and Willow didn't speak of their secret, the time wasn't right.. besides.. what was
the hurry? But all the while, thought they didn't know it.. they were being watched. A pear of wretched eyes watched them
across the room. Draco Malfoy.
