-Chapter Two: A Dreamy Detention-

There was an awkward atmosphere at the lunch table where Ron, Harry, Hermione, Lavender, Parvati, Ginny, Fred, and George were sitting.

Hermione just looked down at her chicken salad the whole time. She had barely touched a thing on her plate. Ron and Harry were fidgeting with things and kept looking up at Hermione. Lavender and Parvati were talking rapidly like always, and Fred and George were practicing their pranks on random students that were sitting at the Slytherin table. Ginny who was sitting in front of Harry had on a silly dreamy face. She kept on batting her overly-masacaraed lashes hoping she would get Harry's attention.

Fred turned his attention to the three. "Uh, what's with the silence you guys?"

George turned back around as well. "Yeah, did you get in a fight or something?"

"Just drop it, okay?" Hermione snapped.

Fred and George made some catty noises as they resumed their prank-playing. They made someone's hair purple, and then they made Millicent Bullstrode's chocolate frog to turn into a gallywort that melted in his/her hands.

"I-I'm really sorry Hermione, I know getting detention is a big deal to you, but trust me, it's realy not that bad!" Ron said breaking the silence. He gave Harry a look that meant "some help here please!" when he saw that Hermione was still not speaking.

"Yeah...I mean YEAH! We've gotten detention tons of times and all you have to do is watch Snape work on a couple of papers for 2 boring, long hours!" Harry said. He saw Ron smack himself with both hands and keep them there as if to say "YOU DUMB PRAT."

Hermione took this chance to make a scene and burst into tears. Now both Lavender and Parvati looked at the three, confused but saying nothing.

Ron gave Harry a sort of glare as he put his arm around Hermione. "Awww, there there 'Mione. It's not that bad!"

Hermione stood up from the table. "It's not that bad? IT'S NOT THAT BAD?!?!?!?!?!" she screeched pretending to be outraged.

She secretly longed for Ron's hand to be around her again. Now she had the attention of almost the whole Great Hall.

"HOW COULD YOU SAY THAT RON?!?!?!?!! FIRST YOU AND HARRY MAKE ME GET INTO TROUBLE, AND NOW YOU'RE TELLING ME THAT IT'S NOT THAT BAD!!?" she yelled and stormed off to the common room.

"Good going, genius." Harry muttered to Ron.

"Gosh, I've never seen Hermione so upset before," Lavender said to the two boys.

"Yeah, you two better think up of something good to do for Hermione to make up for what you did!" added Parvati.

"Yeah, I suppose we better do that...," Ron said guiltily as Lavender and Parvati rushed after Hermione to give her some comfort.

"But what should we do?" Harry said.

Ron just gave a shrug and got up with his lunch tray.

"Those were the most boring 2 hours of my life," declared Harry as the three made their way back to the common room.

"No thanks to you two," muttered Hermione.

"Oh, come on, Hermione, it's all done and over with now! Harry and I promise to make it up to you," Ron said still feeling guilty about upsetting Hermione so much.

"Thanks guys," Hermione said giving Ron a sweet smile and she really meant it. She had spent the whole two hours gazing at Ron and dreaming.

Ron smiled back as thoughts were rushing into his head. "Wow she looks beautiful today," he thought to himself. Hermione had put on a teal blue turtleneck sweater and worn a short jean miniskirt as if she were going to a party rather than detention with her two best friends. She even put on some makeup--blush, mascara, lipgloss, and some silvery blue eyeshadow. She looked absolutely ravishing.

"Okay, Ron, you can stop oogling over Hermione now," said Harry. He was rather jealous of the two. He had had a crush on Hermione since their first year but never got around to admitting it. Now his best friend was falling madly in love with the one person he actually had feelings for.

Ron's face was blushing madly.

"Oh, um, sorry Hermione, it's just that you look amazing today," Ron said, embarassed and quickly turning his eyes down.

"Aw thanks Ron," Hermione said. "SCOOOOOOOOOORE!!!" was what her mind was yelling out at the moment.
