Chapter 3 Hermione reads Ron's journal

After Hermione's long shower, she redid her makeup and went out to the garden to read some of Ron's journal.

I know I shouldn't be reading this. I'm invading Ron's privacy. But I really need to know if he only likes me as a friend. What if he writes that he totally hates me?

Today has been a horrible day! Mione and me got in a fight again! I hate it when we are fighting. But she is pretty when she's mad. I hope she never reads this journal! She would never like me the way I like her. I'm poor and not the Famous Harry Potter. I see the way she looks at him. Its like she adores him. I wish Mione would look at me like that. Well I've got to go; Defense Against the Dark Arts class is calling.

Wow! Thought Hermione. He thinks I like Harry. No way, he is just my friend, but does he like me as more than a friend. I'll just read some more of his journal.

Mione is still not talking to me! This is really upsetting! Why is it always my fault that her cat got hurt?! This time Crookshanks was petrified. Thank god, that cat really got on my nerves! But Mione is really upset about it though. If she knew I dared Neville to do it, She would kill me! I love her so much. I can't stand it when we fight. Fred and George if you are reading this, you better put this book down, cause I fixed a hex on this.

" Uh oh~" Hermione thought. Right after that Hermione heard " Jinkly Winks" from behind her. It was Ron. He hexed Hermione without knowing it was her. Hermione lay on the ground with a shocked expression on her face.

" Oh my gosh" thought Ron. She will not be happy when she wakes up All of a sudden Hermione jolted upright and grabbed a pillow. Ron's back to her so she crept up behind him and slapped him the pillow. Ron turned around and realized just what happened and picked up a pillow. With Hermione giggling and laughing, Ron gave her a brilliant smile, while raising one eyebrow up. "ooh now you are going to get it Mione" "oooo I'm so scared Ronny! Come get me snuggly wuggly bear!" Said Hermione. Ron just laughed and swung his pillow at her. Hermione got up and swung at his stomach and fell right on top of Ron. They looked right into each other's eyes. Their faces were leaning in closer and closer, when George came into the Room. "Wow! Ron and Hermione are going to kiss! Isn't this sweet!" laughed George who was snickering. Ron and Hermione quickly jumped off each other. Mrs. Weasley ran up the stairs. "Hermione, Ron what are you doing?" screamed Mrs. Weasley. As Mrs. Weasley looked at Ron and Hermione who were obviously doing nothing, she screamed at George, "George! Get your butt downstairs, and I mean now!" " Oh Mom, but they were!" screamed George. " You liar! I've had enough of your lies!" Mrs. Weasley grabbed George's ear and pulled him down the stairs and to the backyard. Then she gave him a good smack on the ass with a huge wooden paddle. " Oy!" screamed George. But that was just for show. After Mrs. Weasley let go of him, he left the backyard smiling. Mrs. Weasley then called everyone for lunch. They were going to have to eat outside for there were too many people to fit in one room in the kitchen. Hermione sat down in the seat next to Ron. As they ate a huge lunch of sandwiches, chips, green beans, Ron and Hermione were playing footsie under the table. The rest of the Weasley family acted as though they didn't know what was going on. After eating lunch Ron asked Hermione if she would like to go swimming. "Mione would you like to go swimming?" " Yeah sure just let me go get my swim suit on". Hermione ran upstairs to Ron's room to find her swim suit. Hermione then pulled out a red, Hawaiian patterned bikini out. " This is perfect", thought Hermione. Hermione changed into the bikini and let her hair out of the ponytail. She put a pair of flip-flops on, grabbed a towel and walked down to the watering hole.
