Chapter 4: Friendship: 2nd vow

Hermione was sitting on her bed thinking about what Harry told her while he was waiting for Ginny. She couldn't believe Ginny could've been so careless. To go out at night ALONE. She had always thought Ginny had some sense in her. Poor Ginny.

Hermione jumped when she heard a knock on the door.

"Hermione, it's me, Ron, open up." Said a voice outside that belonged to Ron.

"Hold on!" Hermione called back to him. She walked to the door and opened it..

"I assume you don't want to copy my homework." She said sarcastically with a laugh.

"Hermione could a talk to you." Hermione was suprised he wanted to have a serious conversation. It would probably be about the Wronski Feint, but being a good friend she moved aside so that he could get into her room.

"Hermione you've always been a really good friend, telling me what I've done wrong, settling fights between me and Harry. You've done everything from being there for me to saving my life a couple of times. I'd just like to thank you."

"Ok Ron what's the matter."

"Well it's just the with Ginny and everything I realized how many times I would've been dead if it weren't for you. That's all, Hermione you've been my best friend for what seems to be forever. You've always been there for me and I love you so much I'd kill to keep you safe, you're like a sister to me and always will be."

Hermione had tears in her eyes, she loved him as a brother too. She never knew he felt the same way.

"I love you, as a brother, too Ron."

"Aww how sweet Weasel and the Mudblood in for a snogging session. Well don't let me bother you!"

Ron and Hermione looked up to see Pansy standing in the doorway with a smug look on her face.

"Actually I was just leaving. Goodnight Hermione, goodnight Pansy." As Ron walked past Pansy he gave her an evil stare the returned to his room.

"Thankyou Pansy,' Hermione said grudingly, "for ruining the best night of my life. We're just friends, only friends, that's all we are! Forget it don't bother me!"

As Ginny crawled into bed at night she looked at her left hand only to find a ring on the finger that would one day hold her wedding band.

"How strange......." Ginny muttered.

As She looked closer she realized she recognied the ring.

"Where have I seen it before."

Ginny decided to think about it in the morning, she tugged at the ring trying to take it off only to find it was stuck so she left it there.
