Chapter 2: This should be good. `evil smile`
Over the next few days, Ron behaved very oddly indeed. On the one hand, he couldn't keep his eyes off Hermione. They watched her every move as they trailed around the room from behind a book, appliance, or person. His mouth formed a small lopsided grin whenever he heard her rant about something, so that he had the look of someone reminiscing about something they were very fond of. On the other hand, he was avoiding her at all costs. When she would try to strike up conversation, Ron would turn a deep maroon and either ignore her, or leave through he nearest exit. If they were walking towards each other in the hall, Ron would turn the opposite direction, and walk briskly away.
Hermione was not stupid. She knew perfectly well what was going on, and decided to act.
~~~
Ron spotted Hermione heading towards him and he turned in the opposite direction, which happened to be the direction of his room.
"Ron, a word please." Hermione shouted from halfway down the hall. Ron began to walk faster. Hermione must've been very quiet when she ran, because she was suddenly right behind Ron. "Ron I just wanted--" Ron nearly jumped out of his skin at the sound of her voice so close, and broke into a run.
Hermione had had enough. She pounced. Ron suddenly felt two rather small hands colliding with his shoulders at high velocity. This was followed by the hallway floor rushing up to meet him. There was a loud thud, and after the dust had settled back into the antique carpet, it revealed Ron lying face down on the floor with Hermione atop him.
In one swift movement, Hermione flipped Ron over on his back and straddled him, wearing the uncanny impression of Professor McGonagall for which she was known so well. "Ron, I'm tired of what's been going on between us, and I have decided that you and I will talk things over tomorrow after breakfast. You will meet me in"she paused and rolled her soft brown eyes heavenward, thinking. "the library. I want you to say that you're comingyou know, with words."
Ron flushed worse than ever. "Al-alright." he stuttered, avoiding eye contact. Hermione's demeanor changed as quickly as one turns on a light switch. She broke into a pleased smile, and leaned down to hug Ron, whose eyes widened slightly as he felt Hermione's chest pressed against his. Hermione then stood up and walked off. Ron stared after her with a shocked expression.
After a while, Ron slowly and shakily got to his feet. Who was he kidding?!? There was no way that Ron could talk to Hermione about this particular issue! It just wasn't gonna happen! She was too smart and, as of a week ago, too beautiful. Ron began banging his head on the wall. He was poor, and everything he owned was second hand! She didn't deserve that, or, to put it more bluntly, he didn't deserve her. And to top it off, Ron didn't even remotely know how to treat a woman he was supposed to be "deeply in love with". And yetRon hoped she didn't care.

Well you know it's not the first time
And you know it's not the last
But here I am on my knees
Prayin' for the storm to pass
But what I am really needin'
Is more than just relief
I am cryin' out for wisdom
Cause it's such a mystery
I'm a clueless man when it comes to knowing how to love a woman
~~~
How do I love her?
How do I let her know she means more than anything to me?
How do I love her?
~~~
Out of all the gifts you've given
There is none more precious to me
Than the treasure of my wife*
And still all the love I give her
Is like a raindrop in the sea
When compared with your love for her
And that's why I'm askin' please
Teach me what she needs
I'm an earnest man when it comes to learnin' how to love this woman
~~~
How do I love her?
How do I let her know she means more than anything to me?
How do I love her?
~~~
I know it's gonna' take a lifetime
To answer this prayer
But that's okay
Cause I've given her my lifetime anyway
~~~
How do I love her?
How do I let her know she means more than anything to me?

How do I love her?
How do I let her know she means more than anything to me?
How do I love her?
