Chapter 19: Busy minds, busy hearts
Days past but Draco was not yet around. Hermione's worries became intense than ever. The Head's Dormitory was like a graveyard for her. She often spent the night at the Gryffindor Dormitory. Companions and friends made her felt a little bit fine. She's counting the days, the worst days.
Hogsmeade weekend...
"Herm, why are you so worried with the skunk?" Ron asked.
Ron always asked that question to her when they were alone if he feels that she's thinking so deep…very troubled.
"I am not thinking about him!" Hermione said.
"Then why are thinking like a paranoid, genius hippogriff?" Ron asked.
"I am not paranoid and I am not a hippogriff!" Hermione replied.
"Then what are you thinking?" Ron asked.
"Everything. All the things that comes in my head." Hermione said.
"So you're brain is like a tarantula…creepy spider!" Ron said.
"Yes, you are right, Ron. My creepy head is thinking about creepy ideas." Hermione replied.
"You don't have to say something. I know." Ron said. It was the first time he ever got serious.
"What? I don't understand you." Hermione asked.
"It is just…it is just I know. Yes, I know. 'Hope I know?" Ron said.
"RONALD WEASLEY! Are you kidding me? Where's Harry by the way?" Hermione asked.
"He's having a special meeting with somebody." Ron answered.
"So, that's why you are bugging me? Well, I am glad you don't have any date at Hogsmeade. She will be really petrified." Hermione joked.
"I have an animal magnetism! REMEMBER THAT!" Ron said.
"Yup, the ability to attract animals." Hermione replied.
"Excuse me?" Ron asked.
"Well that is animal magnetism." Hermione replied.
"I mean I have the ultimate ability to attract girls at any sort. It is just that bad I can't attract the girl I want." Ron said.
"When will you be serious, Mr. Weasley?" Hermione asked giggling.
"Just now." Ron said.
