A couple of nights later the common room was slowly emptying. Once again it was left with just Harry, Ron, Hermione and Ginny. Ron and Harry were finishing a game of chess and Ginny and Hermione were playing exploding snap.

"Well guys I'm off to bed!" Ginny yawned. "Night Night!" They all returned a good night and Ginny disappeared. Harry looked between his two best- friends, this could be a chance for them to get together.

"I better be getting to bed too. I've got to get up early to finish Snape's essay. G'night." Avoiding Hermione's dissaproving look he too left the room.

"So what are you doing now? Heading for bed?" Ron enquired.

"No I've got just one more chapter to read from 'Invisability: now you see me now you don't!' It's quite interesting you know, there could be so many people wandering around all the corridors and we wouldn't know about it." Hermione sounded quite excited Ron however, didn't. He decided for a change of subject.

"How are you flowers by the way?" Ron wondered,

"oh there still very beautiful. Thank you again Ron, they were such a lovely thought." Ron could ever so slighty make out a tiny blush on Hermione's cheek.

"Oh they were nothing. I really do appreciate your help you know. I also appreciate you sticking up for me to Snape." Now it was Ron's turn to blush.

"Well we are best friends Ron." Hermione couldn't help but sigh at this last sentance. This only made Ron wonder...she attempted to speak again but Ron cut her off,

"Hermione would...well would...would you ever like us to be more than just friends?" Immediately his breath was held whilst waiting for the answer. Hermione could only stare at him shocked, Ron had took the first step and now she too had to make a move. Before she realised what she was doing she heard herself say,

"yes Ron...more than anything I've ever wanted." This was it, everything was out in the open, both of them had the same question running through their minds...what happened next?

Before Ron could stop himself and go back to being in denial, he got up and starting walking very slowy over to Hermione. He sat down next to her on the sofa, both of them realising that what ever happened next, good or bad would change everything.

"Really?" Ron's voice cut through the silence at last,

"Really" was all she could answer. This was strange for the both of them, did they kiss now? Wish one another good night? Or continue sitting there unsure? Ron had decided and in one quick move his lips cliamed hers. It was a sweet, gentle first kiss between the two, and was definitely not to be the last.

Somewhere up on the staircase Ginny was silently cursing, whilst Harry did a victory dance.

"God dam it!" Ginny mouthed, Harry grinned then whispered,

"Your end of the deal will start tomorrow. See you at 8:00am for breakfast darling." He kissed Ginny on the cheek then this time went to bed, Ginny however, was up most of the night.
