~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~

Hermione's POV~

I love Ron. I-I mean Ron's house. I mentally slapped myself. I promised myself I'd give up on him, but after he hugged me at my house old feelings couldn't help but flood back. As we walked up the path to the door Ron asked,

"So what did you do over the holidays?" (A/N: It's mid-July okay.)

"Oh I went on vacation to-" I began.

"Bulgaria?!" Ron snapped while Harry and Ginny watched in amusement.

"No, France again. Ron I really-" But I was cut off this time by,

"Hermione! Harry! How are you both?" Mrs. Weasley said as she grabbed Harry and I, and envoloped us in a huge bear hug.

"Hi! How are you Mrs. Weasley?" I asked.

"I'm fine dear, are you two hungry?" she asked.

"Oh, no ma'am I ate before I came. Thank you anyway." I said.

"I'm starving!" Harry said, and he and Ginny made their way to the kitchen, while for some strage reason Ron followed me to the couch.

"Aren't you hungry Ron? I asked.

"No. Hermione, about earlier you started to say 'Ron I really' You really what?" He asked.

"What-Oh! I was going to say, why do you care so much if I go to bulgeria?" I said keeping my temper.

"I care because you're my best friend and I don't want you running around with your boyfriend-"

"Boyfriend! He's not my boyfriend. I think he's nice, he's really a bore. I told him I only wanted to be his friend."

"Then why did you go to the ball with him?"

"Because I really wanted to go and no one else asked me. Ron why do you care so much anyway?"

"Because like I said you're my best friend and I don't want to see you get hurt. And I care about you." he said, his ears going red. Was that triumph I saw in his eyes? A little later around 10:00(p.m.) Harry and Ginny bid us goodnight and we trooped up a little later. Right outside Ginny's room, I grabbed Ron's hand to hold him back.

"Ron," I said looking into his sapphire blues eyes "Thanks for caring." and with that I kissed his cheek and walked into Ginny's room. Before I shut the door I said to a grinning Ron,

"Goodnight."

"Goodnight 'Mione, and you're welcome." Then I smiled and shut the door.

Ron's POV~ ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~*~*~*~

Ogmigod! Hermione kissed me! Wow, it was great. (even though it was on the cheek) As I made my way up to my room I couldn't stop thinking about Hermione. I entered my room to find Harry sitting up in bed.

"Hey, Ron you look kinda dazed not to mention your face looks like a tomato."

"Thanks Harry. No I'm just thinking about-"

"Hermione." He finished

"What-how-how did you know?"

"Ron it's obvious you like her. Everyone knows, well everyone except Hermione. She may be the top in the class, but when it comes to love and stuff Hermione's pretty clueless." (A?N Harry, Harry, Harry. Hermy know about love she loves Ron! Duh! oh god no im talking to the characters. carry on.)

"Since when did you become the all-knower of feelings?" I asked.

"Since Ginny and I started hanging out."

"Oh, well, yeah I like Hermione! It feels good to tell someone. I've held it in since second year. Oh yeah, Harry do you like Ginny?" I asked.

"No." He said a little too quickly.

"Oh, well okay. Because if you did I'd be okay with it." HE LIKES HER!!! HAHAHA!

"Oh," he perked up a bit. " I may umm.like her a little, but she's going out with Dean right?"

"I dunno if she stiil is. I'm her brother she doesn't tell me stuff like that. Harry, I'm no feelings expert, but she liked you for five years. Feelings like that don't just stop over night , even if you are dating someone else." I said. Wow, where did THAT come from?!

"Thanks Ron. We should get into bed early, we're going to Diagon Ally tomorrow."

"Goodnight Harry." I said.

"'Night Ron."

The next day we were all standing by the fire ready to leave. Hermione and I were going to go by ourselves to go and get Harry's birthday presents. (Ginny was with him so he wouldn't be by himself. She told us what to get for him from her.) I'm really excited about getting to go alone with Hermione! We flooed to Diagon Ally and we went our separate ways.

"So Quality Quiddich Supplies I suppose?" Hermione asked.

"Yeah but he did say some thing about a book he wanted. it was called 'Splinded Seekers: Seekers Throughout the Ages'" I said.

"Okay. We'll go get that next. Do you want it to be from me or you?" she asked.

"How about we turn the tables on him. I get the book and you get the Quiddich thing." I replied.

"Okay then."

"C'mon lets go!" I said as I grabbed her hand and leading her to Quality Quiddich Supplies. We had loads of fun picking out things he may like. Finally we decided on a golden snitch (from Ginny) and a complete set of minature moving models of the top twenty best racing brooms ever made. We also got the book from Flourish and Blotts, and then we made our way back to the Leaky Cauldron.

"Ron, I had fun." Hermione said.

"Me too, 'Mione."

We got back to the Burrow and hid our presents that Harry would receive at his surprise birthday party. We came back downstairs and sat around the coffee table.

"Anyone wanna play some chess?" I asked.

"No thanks" Harry said.

"I will." Hermione said to me.

"Harry and I will watch then." Ginny said as she pulled up some chairs by the chess board.

"Prepare to be beaten Hermy." I said, smirking as I set up my white pieces.

"I don't think so Ronniekins." she retorted while smirking back. Then we bagan to play. I started out well, but then it got bad. Hermione leaned back and I got a clear view of her. She was in a baggy tee shirt that didn't show anything. I wasn't looking at her body though. I was looking at her faces. She is so beautiful. Her perfect milky white skin made my heart skip a beat. There was also a loose bit of hair in her face that I wanted so badly to tuck behind her ear.

"Ron.Your turn." She said.

"What-oh s-sorry." I said turning red.

"What were you looking at anyway? Is there something on my face?"

"N-no I was just looking at how cute you look when you're thinking." I said. As soon as I released what I sais she had begun to speak.

"Thank you Ron. I-ummm.y-your t-t-turn." Hermione stuttering! Whoa!

"Yeah." I said. I moved my rook two spaces to the left.

"Ummm.check.check.checkmate! CHECKMATE!" she said as she moved her queen.

"What?! Oh god! I didn't even see it!!!" I said totally bewildered.

"She's right! go Herm!" Harry said.

"Good job Hermione!" Ginny squealed.

"Great job 'Mione." I said as I shook her hand.

"Thanks Ron, you too. Wow, I'm bushed. G'night everyone. Good game Ron.

"You too." I said. We all tropped up to bed after her.
