Chapter 2
"Ron ?" Jerald asked through the door. He had opened it at a crack and now his head stuck though while his hand held the hidden Ginny. Ron appeared to be out. It was half seven and Jerald and Ginny had sucked up enough guts to tell him. Jerald walked in openly when he realised Ron was not there. But someone had to be. Why else would the door be wide open ?
"Hermione ? Harry ?" Jerald asked. They tiptoed across the living room. They weren't sure why but they did. Ginny noticed the strange way they were walking and giggled. That's when Ron pounced.
"Virginia why are you holding my best friends hand ?" Ron asked from the doorway of his room. He had popped to bed for a quick nap, a headache had snuck up on him. Ron changed his mind. Wrong question. "Jerald why are you holding my sisters hand ?" Jerald turned and as Ron's hand pulled his present from Harry out of his pocket, a mobile phone, Jerald flinched thinking it was his wand. The phone was vibrating and Ron motioned sharply for the two to sit.
"Who is it ?" Ron asked, not sure he had answered it correctly or what kind of a sound he would hear when he did. He heard Hermione. She was just calling from work so that Ron got a chance to use his new toy (or at least that's what she claimed). "Now's not the time Hermione, I just caught Jerald with Ginny." There was a pause. Ginny and Jerald tired to sat perfectly still but continued shaking like trees in the wind. "What do you mean you were wondering when I would find out !" Jerald shook his head. That would make it worse. "Okay Hermione, see you when you get back, bye, bye, bye." Ron put his phone back in his pocket and walked toward the couple.

"I've had a wonderful evening," Tonks admitted as they arrived at her door. Harry had apperated her home and was surprised by how nice a house she owned. Cute and quite out in the countryside. But then she as on a lot of money.
"I have too," Harry replied back. "Maybe we should go out again sometime ?" He was surprised at how easily the phrase came out. With Cho it had been so hard but with Tonks he seemed to be able to say anything.
"I'd like that," Tonks replied and she kissed Harry lightly on the cheek. Harry smiled then thought about how dumb he must look. In truth Cho thought he looked cute yet sexy. Her urge to invite him in was very hard to control. "Bye," She added then turned and went into her house. As the door closed Harry punched the air before apperating home. Nothing in the world could bring him down now.

Hermione sat on the rooftop watching the world go by. The wind flicked her hair up and allowed it to float as she watched the traffic, air traffic and pedestrians go by. They all led normal lives. But Hermione guarantied herself that at least a third of them felt what she felt. Confusion. She had kissed Harry just over a month ago and he had given her the worse reaction ever, he had pretended it never happened. And then she had become aware that Ron was madly in love with her and couldn't help but feel the same love back. Even though she had never thought of Ron that way she herself believed now that she had loved him all this time. But that was preposterous, Harry was the charming and sexy one. She watched the moon for a second. So far away yet so close to everyone's heart. She then checked her watch. It was five minutes past eleven and she hadn't even returned home yet. She still wore her witnessing clothes and then she paused. Why had she taken up witnessing in the first place ? Why had she quit her job at the ministry ? AT first she had thought that it was because she wanted Harry to succeed in the ministry yet they needed Muggle money. But now she was beginning to change her views. She had changed to spend more time with Ron.
There was a quite snap and Jerald appeared next to Hermione, she smiled as he gave her her coat and she put it on. He sat down next to her and focused his eyes on the same moon. It was so bright and shiny tonight that it made the sun look pathetic in yesterdays fog.
"I thought I might find you up here," Jerald said softly. Once when Hermione's father had died this is where Harry had found her. On the roof. "Do you wanna talk about what happened." Hermione turned to Jerald and smiled before looking back at the gorgeous white ball.
"I kissed Harry." Jerald's heart jumped a beat, he too knew all about Ron's love for Hermione.
"When ?" Jerald asked wondering if he was pushing the topic in the wrong direction.
"Christmas eve," It was as if Jerald had known the answer already, she had been very strange around Harry and Ron ever since he had visited on boxing day.
"And that's bad because ?" Jerald asked pretending he didn't no that Ron was in love with Hermione.
A tear floated down Hermione's cheek, "I think I love Ron," She whimpered. Jerald pulled her down into a friendly hug and after a brief pause in which he watched a fire engine zoom by said,
"You should tell him." Hermione looked up at Jerald. She trusted his advice almost as much as Ron did. She would tell Ron how she felt.
(A/N : Some of you requested longer chapters. Well there's one. But I got to warn you. If I make the chapters longer. They will take longer to be posted. Also to everyone who wants this to end Ron/Hermione (which is pretty much everyone) I'm working on it, as you can see.)
