Ok everybody. I just realized that I didn't put a disclaimer on the first
chapter of my story. I'm sorry. It took me ages to work out how to upload
the story then when I finally worked it out I remembered the disclaimer.
I just wanted to let everyone know that this is my first story on
Fanfiction.net so I'm a novice any comments would be welcome to help me
along the way. If I've done anything wrong, tell me!! Lol. Thanx.

"Who can tell me what ingredient you add to the simpering solution to make it thick?"
Professor Snape drawled in a bored voice in Potions after breakfast.
"I think...Mr Weasley. Yes. Can you tell me what ingredient?"
I looked over at Ron and could see that he had no idea what the answer was so I scrawled a single word on my parchment.
Thestral Blood
I saw him look at it out of the corner of his eye then a set look came upon his face and I waited for him to repeat what I had written but he did not say it after all. My jaw dropped as he uttered the word,
Kreisler Wings
What? I looked at him as subtly as I could. But he refused to look at me. He just stared ahead as Snape's lip curled in satisfaction.
"I am afraid Mr Weasley, that that is the wrong answer. The answer I was looking for was in fact Thestral Blood."
Ron's ears didn't even go red. He just stared straight ahead. I looked sideways at Harry to see what he thought but he just shrugged. I sighed and began listening to Snape again. We sat through the rest of the lesson in silence, copying down a potion recipe that we would be making the next lesson. Then we headed off to the common room for an hour before lunch.
It was annoying me so much what had happened in Potions that I rounded on Ron as soon as we got there.
"What the bloody hell was that about Ron?! I wrote down the answer and you still got it wrong!"
I yelled at the top of my voice. Not what I had intended to do at all but sometimes he makes me so angry!
"I'm so sorry Hermione but you know I'm stupid. Who says I can read?" he retorted at me but it wasn't nearly as harsh as I had expected.
"Why did you say what you did though when it was plainly in front of you?"
I asked him a lot more calmly. I was wringing my hands and I was all fidgety.
"I don't know. Why don't you ask your boyfriend?"
Ouch. With that said he walked to the other side of the room and I huffed and went and sat on the couch in front of the fire. Even though it was warm sitting there I felt distinctly cold and I knew why. I sighed and settled down, staring into the fire. I was dimly aware of Harry standing somewhere between Ron and me. What happened next surprised me most. He came and sat next to me and put his arm around me. I was so annoyed at Ron that I leaned against Harry, just like a girlfriend would. He bent close to me on the pretext of whispering in my ear. That's how it would have looked to an observer anyway. This is what really was going on:
"'Mione, what are you doing?" He asked me gently but with a hint of annoyance in his voice.
"I...I don't know. I just wanted to know what was going on...I guess."
"He's upset about us "going out" obviously. This is what you wanted remember, for him to notice you in a different way, to admit things. You shouldn't expect it to happen straight away, there was bound to be a few teething problems."
" I know. Argh this is my entire fault. I think we should still go along with things though."
"Oh yeah, so do I definitely. I think we need to act more "couplish" though. And drag him along with us. First though we have to make up with him. Lets go over and just act like everything's fine and then gradually bring it up."
I sucked in a breath, looked at Harry then at Ron and nodded my head. Harry took my hand and we headed over there. Ron seemed to have calmed down thank goodness. I looked at Harry who gave me an encouraging smile.
"Hello Ron...I just. I want to apologise. I get the feeling a lot of this has to do with Harry and I. Well of course it is, you made that clear. I know now that we should have told you first. And I'm sorry. We both are. Can you forgive us?"
For the second time in twenty-four hours I was met with a deafening silence as Ron thought about what I had just said. I saw his eyes travel from our joined hands to our faces. Then finally he spoke.
"You two are my best friends and your dating, I've known you both since we were eleven. I never dreamed you two would get together I always thought It'd be me and Her-I mean yeah I just didn't expect it. You don't know how weird it is to see you two joined together. Although it looks like I'm going to have to get used to it. I forgive you guys. How could I not when you look at me like that Hermione?!"
I let out a breath that I didn't even realise I'd been holding as he ended his little speech. I was again possessed by what only could be described as Lavenders spirit as I squealed and leapt onto Ron's lap, hugging him. He laughed and I could feel his breath on my cheek as he hugged me back. Then I realised what I had just done so I jumped up, regained my composure, pulled Ron up and stood between him and Harry.
"My two favourite boys," I said as I reached up and kissed them both on the cheek and linked my arms with both of them. "How about we go for a walk to celebrate the fact that Ron doesn't want us to burn in hell?" I said directing my sentence at Harry who looked at Ron and laughed. He nodded and we all walked out the portrait hole and through the castle out onto the grounds.
