Ron sat down beside Hermione at the Gryffindor table at breakfast for the next week or so. She shared a sympathetic look at him as he frowned, the same way every day, looking at his best friend and little sister. Harry and Ginny were caught up in conversation on the other end of the table, trying to avoid Ron and his constant outbursts. Which, come to think of it, Were getting as often as Harry's had been. Ron really didn't have anything to be angry about. Well, minus the tons of pounds of pressure that Professor Umbridge had placed on their shoulders. She could understand that easily.
After they had finished their last O. W. L., Ron looked at her, nervously as Harry walked down the hallway with Ginny, not noticing the two. "What's the matter?" She asked, confused.
"Do you think, that if I asked a girl out, that she would say yes to me, and that I would be as happy as Harry is with Ginny?" He asked abruptly, walking down the hallway, to the Gryffindor House.
"Uh.." She paused, nervously. Her eyes dodged from him. "So, Who do you have in mind?" She said, looking around the crowd. She spotted a few girls that might be the type that Ron would fancy, but none that would match up with him, no one she could see staying with him.
"Oh.." He paused and looked around, like Hermione did. "What are you looking at?" He questioned, getting distracted.
"Um..." Hermione started. "Nothing, just looking."
"Yeah, Right Hermione."
"Oh come on Ron, Who do you fancy?" She asked playfully.
"I really can't answer that."
"Oh, she's around here?" She said looking, eagerly. She thought, she would be the only one left of the three, the only single one. Of course, the guys only looked to her when they needed her, so that meant she would be alone. Great. "Look at her, no wonder she hasn't any friends..." She remembered Ron saying that the first year at Hogwarts. That will always stay with her. They are a lot better friends now, but not all that great. Ron and Hermione had constant rows and fits and times where they didn't talk. Come to think of it, she actually fancied him a little even back then, but no one would know that, ever. Because she was better off alone.
"Bloody Hell, Hermione, are you listening?" He exclaimed as she walked right past the Fat Lady.
"Oh, whoops."
"I was trying to talk to you. Great. You're turning into bloody Harry."
"Don't get angry with me." She demanded. "I was just thinking about something. I'm sorry."
"You've been so bloody distracted lately, what's the matter?"
"Who do you fancy?" she shot back, not feeling like either had to answer the questions that they had both asked.
The rest of the night was quite awkward, with Harry and Ginny, laughing loudly at something Neville had just said to the two of them and Hermione and Ron both on the farthest ends of the Common Rooms from each other, both stealing glances at the other when they thought they weren't looking.
"WHO DOES HE THINK HE IS?" Hermione exclaimed climbing up the the girl's corridor after getting into another row, talking to Ginny, but she was so wrapped up in thoughts of Harry that it took Hermione's scream and a lunge for the opposite side of the corridor, to awaken her from day dreams.
"What's that?" Ginny exclaimed. "...A dead owl? What??" Ginny screamed and ran down the stairs into the common room. "RON!!!!!" She yelled for her brother. "I think that Pig is dead." Ron gave her a look of utter shock.
"You're bloody kidding?"
"No..." Hermione ran down the stairs. "He's not dead. He was carrying a letter, he's asleep on my bed, Ginny. He hit the window, apparently and made it into the room. But here, Ginny, it's for you ... from Percy." Ginny and Ron both wrinkled their noses at the sound of his name, after what he had said about his own flesh and blood.
"Burn it." Ginny said, grabbing it and tossing it into the fire. Ron chuckled and looked at Hermione. He cleared his throat.
"Well, since Pig's not dead and we don't care about Percy, I'll be off to bed, since I have nothing to say to you, Hermione."
"And neither do I." Hermione said, turning around quickly, making sure to make her hair smack Ron in the face as she left. His mouth dropped.
"Do you believe that girl? No wonder she hasn't any friends." He muttered.
"I don't believe you!" Ginny exclaimed. "You were all talking about Hermione all summer long, then she comes and stays with us and you freak and forget about her? You're acting like you hate her. You know you don't." She glared at him as he started to say that he did. "You fancy her Ron." At that, Ginny turned around and made a dramatic exit, topping Hermione's. The Gryffindor's all applauded, thinking it was all an act. Ron turned to them and screamed "WHAT??" At that, they chuckled and Harry ran down the stairs from the boy's corridor.
"Where's Ginny? I need to ask her and Hermione something."
"Girl's corridor." He growled, motioning to the stairwell, leading up to the girls. "GOOD RIDDANCE TO YOU TOO THEN!" He made sure to shout extra clearly and loud. Harry arched a brow and started for the girl's corridor. "GINNY! HERMIONE! I NEED TO ASK YOU SOMETHING!!" Ginny ran down the stairs, glared at Ron and started to tell him something, but decided better of it.
"Hermione's not coming. She's really upset. Ron was acting like an idiot again. A complete and total pig." She said, just underneath her breath to him.
"Err.." He started. "Well, I can't really tell you right now, come to think of it..." Harry stammered.
"Why?" Harry glanced toward Ron.
"Ron's upset, I think I should talk to him.." Ginny nodded in agreement and the two separated with reluctant smiles.
