Thnx (I'm a HP/HG fan, but this story doesn't just focus on them, Many other likely couple are in here. So it will be interesting!)

*********

The first days of school were slow as usual. Homework piled down on Harry and Ron everyday. But Hermione was helpful and let them copy her homework. Harry didn't know why he was thinking so much of Hermione. Ever since Cho had stepped out from his love life, he found himself feeling different around Hermione. He didn't want to admit any feelings towards her, so he tried to avoid it as much as possible.

"Professor Dumbledore has officially took off my ban for Quidditch. So now I can play for the house team again!" Harry yelled excitedly at the Gryffindor table on an October morning. He couldn't wait to start Quidditich, he really needed to fly again.

"Can't wait for the season to start, I've been training at home all summer. I think I'll be a much better keeper this year. No more 'Weasley's our king' from Slytherin." Ron added and gagged. Harry and Hermione both laughed.

It was Halloween. Harry was in a very up-beat mood. They had just won a match against Hufflepuff. Ron HAD improved. The Slytherins can only look in dismay as Ron saved goal by goal, and set out a loud chorus of boo's after the match. Hermione had hugged both of them after the game. Harry couldn't help but to want to hold her longer.

After the feast, the trio returned to the common room. Hermione went to her dormitory early, she said she was sleepy. Harry watched as Hermione walked up the stairs. -Even her walk is amazing, God what am I thinking!- Harry quickly told himself.

"Isn't she beautiful, Harry?" this time it wasn't Harry's thoughts, it was Ron's voice.

Harry, taken by shock, just stared at him. "Er, didn't catch that, could u repeat it?"

"I said isn't she beautiful? I mean who could be more perfect than Hermione." Ron repeated.

Harry managed an awkward laugh, and asked, "Ron, are u telling me you like Hermione?"

Ron straightened up, looking uncomfortable himself, and mumbled, "I guess I do, I feel different towards her than other girls. Ever since and that Viktor Krum came to pass, I surprised myself by how jealous I felt. All last year, I've been wondering if I like her or not, but u know, last year was busy and there were so many other things to deal with. But now that I think about it, I couldn't help it." He sighed, "Harry, she is one of my best friends, any suggestions on what I should do?"

Ron said all this rather fast, it took Harry a while to digest all this. It was hard to believe he and Ron likes the same girl. If only Harry spoke out sooner about his feelings, then things would be different. He didn't want himself and Ron to become rivals, so he decided to hide his feelings.

"Harry? This would be the time where u talk!" Ron was getting impatient.

"Huh? Oh, um well if you really like her, then you should tell her. There's nothing to hide from" Harry tried to keep his tone light.

"You think? But what if she says no?" Ron was still worried.

"Eh, you would never know unless you tell her. Its always better to let out your feelings rather than hide it" Harry felt ashamed as he said this. After all, he's the one hiding his feelings.

"Hmm." Ron seemed convinced, he got out from the couch, "Thanks Harry, really needed a best friend's advice. I'll have to choose a good time to tell her. Oh! We're going to Hogsmeade in 2 weeks time. I'll tell her then. And you can help me prepare what to say!" Ron smiled and almost danced up to his dormitory. Harry forced a smile and followed, his mind clouded heavily.
