Chapter 3 - Ron's Choice
Harry could hardly sit still through Divination. Ron had the lesson off because he had
to retake his Transfigration Exam and Harry was sat all on his own at his usual table.
"Today we will be doing advanced Crystal ball gazing ready for the test next thursday" Professor
Trelawny told the class.
"I will put you in pairs and you will tell each other the future."
Harry was put with Lavender Brown and she stared hard at the crystal ball.
"I see you dancing with Hermione." Lavender and Harry Groaned.
"Well that must be wrong because I'm going to the ball with Cho Chang." Lavender ignored Harry
and continued,
"I also see you and Ron fighting." She said, "He has thrown you into a table." This is crap Harry
decided and then the lesson ended.
"Harry !" He heard Trelawney call to him as he made his way down the ladder.
"I see true love coming your way."
***
The common room was packed but harry told Ron and Hermione in his normal voice. He didn't
care who heard that he was going with Cho.
"Well that's great news for you." Hermoine started. "I think I will have to ask..."
But before she could finish Ron grabbed her by the sleave and pulled he towards the entrance.
"Follow me." He said pulling her out of the common room and into the quiet hallway.
" Listen Hermione." Ron said, "Last year I asked you to late. But I want to ask you properly
this time."
And then to Hermione's surprise Ron made his way down onto one knee and grabbed her hand.
"Hermione," He said, pausing to remove some hair from his eye. "Will you go to the ball with me?"
Hermione didn't know what to say. She stood speachless.
"You can think about it if you want ?" Ron said looking suddenly saddened.
And then Hermione nodded just in time to because the fat lady in the painting had burst into tears.
