Disclaimer: Geez, J.K Rowling is a genius! Nope, I don't own Harry Potter,
but maybe I'll wake up one day to find out that I am really a witch that
belongs on Hogwarts with my best friends, and then I'll meet Ron Weasley
and we will get married and have wonderful red-haired children! um.yeah,
sometimes daydreaming gets the better of me.
Chapter 2 Sunlight came in through the opening of a curtain in Hermione's bed. It was Saturday. She woke up, got dressed, and went down to the common room to wait for Ron and Harry to go to breakfast. A few minutes later she saw Harry coming down the stairs, but Ron was nowhere to be seen.
"Hey Hermione" Harry said enthusiastically. He looked over her shoulder as though he was looking for someone. "Have you seen Ginny?"
Hermione raised an eyebrow and crossed her arms, "Why would you just happen to be looking for Miss. Virginia Weasley anyway?"
Harry turned Scarlet, "Oh, err, just wondering. I was going to talk to her about Quidditch practices, yeah, Quidditch practice!" He held his breath, apparently noticing Hermione's suspicion.
"What aren't you telling me Harry?" Hermione said, her suspicion growing by the second.
"Nothing!" Harry said quickly.
Hermione decided to let him off the hook this once, but just because she was wondering where Ron was. "Alright Mr. Potter, whatever" Harry let out a sigh of relief, "But don't think I won't find out what you're really up to" she added in sharply, but also cracked a smile, just to show her friend that she wasn't intending to be strict.
"So, speaking of Weasley's, where is Ron?" Harry gave Hermione the same look she did to him, but then again, Harry kind of knew that Hermione had a crush on Ron. He was always saying to her, 'I'm telling you Hermione, he likes you, I mean really likes you, I don't understand why you too don't just admit to each other let alone yourselves you both are in love!" She knew that Harry meant well, but wasn't sure whether or not he was just saying this to make her happy. Hermione put her hands on her hips, showing that she was serious in wanting to know where he was.
"Alright, alright I get it. Well, he's still sleeping; he didn't want to get up at all, which I must say is highly unlike him. I tried pulling him out of bed but it was no use. Listen, I have to get downstairs, could you try waking him up. I'm sure he'll jump out of the bed once he sees you." He winked and climbed out of the portrait hole.
Hermione sighed and made her way up to the boys' dormitories, hoping that the rest of the boys had already gone down to breakfast. Thank Merlin these stairs don't turn into a slid. Haha, it was only too funny when that happened to Ron and Harry in fifth year! She had only been in their room once before and they weren't too pleased when she woke them up that Christmas morning. But she took her chances. She opened the door a little and peered inside. She didn't see anyone else in the room. She glanced over at Ron's bed and saw that he was underneath the covers and facing the opposite direction. She slowly made her way towards the bed until she was facing Ron. She looked down at his sleeping face. Thank Merlin he does not snore or drool in his sleep, but I would still love him anyway!
"Ron, Ron wake up." She said in almost a whisper as she nudged his arm a bit. He grunted but didn't wake up. She sat down on the bed and intertwined her fingers into Ron's. His skin was soft and just touching him sent shivers up her spine. She rubbed her hand soothingly up and down his arm. "Ron, if you don't wake up soon, you'll miss breakfast."
"Don't care."Ron responded with his eyes still closed.
"Ok, now I know something is up. You never turn down food." Hermione said in shock.
Ron blinked his eyes and looked up at her. His eyes widened and his ears turned red. But he looked pale in the face and his eyes were puffy. "Mione, what are you doing up here?"
"I came looking for you, Harry said you wouldn't wake up so I came up to see if you were all right" She realized that her hands were still on Ron, caressing him and she removed herself and folded her hands politely on her lap. She blushed but Ron just smiled.
"Uugh, Mione I don't feel well at all." His smile faded and he went deeper into his quilt, groaning.
"What's wrong?" she asked, with concern in her voice.
"I gotta headache and well, I just feel like.blah." He closed his eyes again.
"Well, your lucky it's a Saturday, you won't miss any classes."
"Only you would be disappointed if you missed classes for a day Mione" Ron smiled at her. He was right though.
"Do you want to go to the Hospital wing?" she suggested with a shrug.
"I'm not even in the mood to get out of bed let alone have to deal with Madam Promferey! Besides, she still has loads of patients from yesterday's potions explosion with the fourth years, she wouldn't give any care to me."
"Alright then, you should stay in bed for the day. Maybe what you need is extra rest. I'll take over late night prefect duties for the weekend. Okay?" Ron nodded in agreement.
"You shouldn't be missing breakfast Mione. Don't worry about me, go eat." Ron suggested.
"Oh, Ron how can I possibly not worry. You should eat as well, I'll bring up a plate for us and we'll eat here."
Hermione got up from the bed and walked toward the door. "I'll be right back."
"Promise?" Ron asked giving her the smile that made her weak in the knees.
"I promise." She wouldn't let her best friend down.
Hermione made her way down to the great hall. She barely sat down at the table when she started piling food for two onto a plate. 'Beacon, eggs, sausage. all of Ron's favorite things' she thought to herself.
"Geez Hermione, are you just a little hungry?" Harry came over to her, looking at the plate she had filled up.
"It isn't all for me. Ron is sick so I'm bringing this up for him; he's going to be staying in his dormitory for the day, possibly the whole weekend." Hermione said, not even looking up from the plate she was stacking.
"WHAT?! But I have mandatory Quidditch practices planned for the match next week!" Harry bellowed.
"Harry, he needs to get better! It's not all about Quidditch!" she glared at him. How in the name of Merlin could he be thinking of Quidditch now! But Harry's expression changed from annoyed and stunned to a sly smirk, full of inquisitiveness.
"Oooohhh, I see now. All right Hermione, you go and take care of Ron. Be his 'healer' as they say at St. Mungo's. (A/N: Haha, mealie! Lupin's your healer!) Maybe with you two spending the day with each other, you will finally get around to admitting a few things to each other, you know, get closer to each other." He winked and nudged her in the arm. Hermione threw on an irritated look.
"I'm just trying to make him feel better, that's all" she said as her face became scarlet. Geez, I've been doing a lot of blushing these days.
"Whatever Hermione, whatever." He smiled and walked over to sit next to Neville.
Hermione took the plate and made her way up to Ron's dormitory. When she arrived by the door she looked in and saw that Ron was lying down and trying to stay awake. She came into the room and Ron looked over to her.
"Told you I would be right back." She smiled.
"Oh what a great promise keeper you are Mione" Ron sighed as he tried to sit up straight.
"I will never brake a promise to you Ron, no matter what." She smiled as she set the plate of food down on his night table. They each started eating and Ron seemed pleased at what she picked out. When she was finished she started to look out of the window, in a daze. She felt Ron's warm hand land onto one of hers. She looked over to him and smiled. Even though he looked sick, he was still lovely. He still had that sparkle in his eye, and his wide grin.
"Thanks Hermione." He said, his voice full of gratefulness.
"For what?" she asked. Her insides were melting, they were each being so kind to each other and they weren't bickering. She assumed that that is what happened when one needed to be cared for.
He grabbed her other hand and held onto it. "For being such a wonderful friend. You didn't have to take care of me, but you did anyway."
Hermione could hardly contain herself. Not only did she completely like Ron, but also now she felt love. She loved him.
"Thanks Ron." She whispered. Her eyes began to water. He was so wonderful. Even though he wasn't perfect, to Hermione that didn't matter, she loved him just the way he was, and to her, that was perfect.
"You should get some more sleep. I'll be right down in the common room working on my essay. Tap your wand three times on the nightstand if you need me, my wand will turn red and I'll come right up here." She whispered and incantation onto his wand.
He was looking at her in awe, "My little know it all, thanks bunches."
Hermione bent down and hugged him. She didn't want to let go. She whispered into his ear, "Anything for my best friend." She pulled away and smiled, hoping he might just get weak in the knees like he had the charm of doing to her. Then she walked over to the door and closed it behind her just as Ron closed his eyes. As she walked back to her dorm to get her essay she couldn't help smiling like a madman (A/N: or should I say madwoman. Haha)
