This next chapter was written by dvlsdngrousrbl, or Tori, as I will call
her here. In the last chapter, I accidentally said that they were in their
third year. I meant 6th. I also failed to thank our first reviewer, tje-
82871, for her review. I'm glad you liked it, and I hope you keep reading!
Thanks for reading!

*Ron's POV*
What did Harry think he was talking about? What was I being obvious about? I'll just have to talk to him when he calms down. I looked at Harry who had slumped down in his seat, and glared, hazily, out the window. I slouched down in my seat too, thinking of what on earth Harry could be talking about. I shifted my eyes to Hermione, who was giving me very confused look. Her eyes bore into mine. I shrugged my shoulders; gazing at her with the same look of mystification she was giving me. She looked away to stare at Harry, who didn't even look her way.
The door opened to our compartment as Ginny walked in and sat back down She looked around, feeling the tension in the room. She had walked out saying she needed a "Bit of air".
"Where'd you go?" I shot at her, shifting my eyes to look her up and down.
"I told you I just went to walk around, and I met up with Dean and we talked for a while," Ginny replied, rolling her eyes.
I snorted at Dean's name and made a small gesture with my hand. I knew he wasn't right for her, but would she believe me? No!! She had to find out the hard way. Ginny glared at me, before asking Luna if she could look at the latest issue of her Father's magazine, giving me mean looks every now and then.
Soon later we left the compartment so they could change. I began tapping my foot impatiently, as they took their dear sweet time.
"Oh, shut up Ron," Ginny snapped, stepping out of the room along with the other two girls. Harry gazed, dreamily, at Luna as she passed, before I snatched him up under the arm and lead him into the compartment. He shook his head remembering where he was; before he began changing into his robes. I'm sure he was still thinking of Luna. I rolled my eyes at him when he looked at me, making him give me a very dirty and frustrated look. We changed hurriedly, before allowing the girls back in.
*Hermione POV*
A short while after Ron had spoken to Harry, we changed into our robes. The train stopped a bit later, telling us that we had arrived at Hogwarts. I jumped up from my seat, glad to be at Hogwarts for yet another year. I grinned as I looked out the window, seeing the huge structure of the castle. My grin widened as I stepped off of the train and looked around at the very familiar scenery of Hogwarts. The carriages waited, silently, for occupants to fill them before heading up towards the castle we'd all grown to love.
I looked over at Ron, Harry, Ginny, and Luna and saw the same look of security on their faces as well. Ron fixed his eyes on me and smiled sweetly. He nodded before opening a carriage and allowing me to climb in before he and Harry followed. Ginny and Luna had gone off with some of their other friends, leaving Harry looking moderately disappointed. I shook my head with a soft grin on my lips. He was so obvious it was cute. The carriages carried us closer to our school before stopping and letting us all exit. I hopped off excitedly after we pulled to a stop.
The sorting of the new first years went by fast, leaving all to start the beginning of the term feast. I thought about sitting by Ron, as I always did, but saw how lonely Harry looked and took a seat next to him. He smiled at me thankfully before beginning to eat. I looked over at Ron and noticed a look of confusion and disappointment on his face. I looked away, startled, and started on my own food. The feast ended, what I think was too soon. I looked up at the teacher's table and noticed to my surprise, Fred and George having a friendly conversation with Professor Dumbledore.
"Ron?" I said, still staring at the twins.
"Humn?" Ron's mouth was filled with food, some of which fell back out onto his plate when he replied.
My mouth fell open in disgust, as he stared back at me innocently.
"That's disgusting, Ron," I said, wrinkling my nose. He shut his mouth, and snorted, the food still in his mouth when he swallowed before turning back to me. "What?"
"Why are Fred and George here?" I asked.
Ron looked around the Great Hall before his eyes settled on the teacher's table. Ron, Harry, and I stood up just as the twins were heading out of the Great Hall.
"Fred, George," Harry shouted, as they turned around, a grin spread across their faces as they saw who it was.
"Why, Harry, Hermione, Ron! How are you?" George walked over to greet us.
"Great," The three of us replied, feeling rather confused on why they were here in the first place.
"Just guessing this year is going to be rather boring," Ron said beside me, a glum look on his face.
"Well, we know just what you need." Fred piped up, as he winked slyly at me. I gave him a very quizzical look, but he just smiled.
Ron laughed. "And what would that be?"
"It's obvious isn't it? You need a girlfriend, old Ronnie Boy," George slapped him on the back quite hard, from what I could tell. I shook my head, getting ready to turn around and head up to the Gryffindor Common Room, when Ron's answer made me whip back around.
"Yeah, you're right!! I do, don't I?" Ron grinned. I looked at him strangely. Tilting my head to one side, waiting his reply.
"You guys are absolutely right," his grin spread widely across his face-he seemed to have been struck by a brilliant idea. "I'll see you guys. I'll owl you." he walked quickly, towards the exit, murmuring thoughtfully to himself. I watched him go; my face full of shock, I'm sure. I shook my head trying to concentrate on the other's conversation, but for some reason I was slightly disappointed about Ron's answer.
*Ron's POV*
The rest of the way to Hogwarts seemed to fly by. We traveled up to Hogwarts on the carriages, like usual. Hermione seemed really pleased to be seeing it again. I really couldn't say why. It hadn't been that long since we had seen it last, but hey, she's a girl. Who knows how she thinks or WHAT she thinks. The feast was great as usual, but one thing I wasn't expecting was to see my twin brothers in the Great Hall. Mum and Dad hadn't heard much from them since they left to start their career with their joke shop, Weasley's Wizarding Wheezes. What I really wasn't expecting was for my brothers to tell me I needed a girlfriend. They were right. Suddenly, I had a brilliant idea. I told the others I would see them later and left for the Common Room.
In the Common Room, I looked around, trying to find the person I was looking for. I noticed someone in the chair beside the fire. I looked closer; noticing it was the person I wanted to talk to. I walked silently over to her and poked her on the shoulder.
The next morning I dressed quickly and headed down to the Common Room. Lavender Brown stood at the end of the stairway. She smiled sweetly at me as I ran down the stairs to stand at her side. I had had asked Lavender the night before to be my girlfriend and she had said yes. It took me a while to get Parvati to leave so I could speak to Lavender alone, but after telling Parvati that Harry wished to speak to her, she seemed quite pleased to leave. I laughed at the thought. I laced my fingers with Lavender's not bothering to wait for Harry or Hermione.
I walked to the Great Hall for breakfast. As we walked in I noticed the hall go quiet for a split second as everyone stopped and stared before continuing their conversations, although I could hear some talking about Lavender and I. I sat down in my usual seat as Lavender took the seat beside me. I started eating until I heard my name being called. I craned my head to see Hermione and Harry heading my way.
"Ron!!! Why didn't you wait for us?" Hermione asked me, in a surprised voice.
"Because," Lavender began, I turned to look at her, "he was walking me to breakfast." She smiled sarcastically at Hermione.
"A-are you two a. a couple?" Harry asked, unsure of his question.
"Yeah," I replied, grinning up at him. I saw Hermione's eyes grow wide, before returning to their normal size.
"Wow, well isn't that.. Uh. nice," Harry seemed at a loss for words, as did Hermione. She looked a bit pale, when I looked up at her again. I expected her to sit by me, but she walked around the table to sit by Harry instead!! I raised an eyebrow at Harry, but he didn't notice. Why did I feel. jealous about her sitting with Harry? Did she fancy Harry? It wouldn't be a surprise. He was famous, the Boy-who-Lived. Why did I care? I was a couple with Lavender. I stared at Hermione and then at Harry before Lavender broke my train of thought. I looked at her and smiled falsely. She grinned back at me. Could I really be falling for Hermione Granger?
