CHAPTER TWO

She Thinks You're Charming

The next day was a Sunday, so all of the students got a day to get situated. It only took Hermione fifteen minutes to unpack all of her things; Harry and Ron didn't take much longer. The three met down in the common room when they were all finished.

"Ron, I forgot to tell you something last night." Said Hermione with a twinkle in her eye.

"What?" asked Ron, squinting at her.

"It's about Astrid," she said. "She thinks your charming." She said this with a mocking tone. Ron's eyes widened, and his jaw dropped.

"Really? I mean...she actually...wow." he said. He sounded as if he were about to lose his breath. Hermione smiled, then she thought of Harry. She looked up at him, but he was staring at his shoes.

"You liked her too, didn't you Harry?" said Hermione in a joking tone of voice.

"No." Ron replied.

"I was asking Harry."

"She's nice, but I have my sights set higher." Said Harry.

"Yeah, about 5'8..." said Ron. Harry glared at Ron. Hermione was 5'8. Hermione realized this comment, but chose to ignore it. The three then decided to go to lunch, and who should be there but Astrid. Ron stopped in his tracks, but took a deep breath and walked up to her. Hermione took a quick glance at Harry, but he just shrugged his shoulders.

"Hi," said Ron, sitting down next to her. Harry and Hermione took this as a hint to move down a few seats, but still in earshot.

"Hello." Replied Astrid, with a dreamy glint in her eye. She really had it for Ron.

"So...I hear...from someone-no one you know...well, maybe you do, but-"

"Are you ok?" she asked him. Hermione was trying to hold back the fit of giggles that was taking her over.

"I'm fine. What I wanted to ask you was-um-will you..."

"Yes!" she shouted. People only stared for a few seconds, then went back to what they were doing.

"How'd you know what I was gonna'-"

"I just knew." She said.

"Score." Whispered Harry in Hermione's ear. Hermione smiled, and ate her lunch.
