Chapter One - Talk of the Yule Ball
I'm sorry this chapter is really, really short! The next one will be much better!
Ron, Harry and Hermione were all eating their dinner, it was in the middle of their 6th year.
As Ron was eating his meal he couldn't stop staring at Hermione, who was sitting right across from him, she still had her Gryffindor robe on and her thick hair down, but something seemed different about her.
"Ron!" Harry yelled, but Ron didn't notice he was still staring at her as if he was hypnotized. "Ron!" Ron shook his head and looked at Harry.
"W-What?" asked Ron "What is it?"
"Just wondering what's up that's all, you're acting sort of, well strange, you haven't said one word all night, are you feeling okay?"
"Oh no I'm fine, sorry Harry, just spaced out that's all," then he changed the subject "So who are you taking to the Yule Ball?"
"I want to take Cho, I know you think I'm over her but I don't think I quite am yet, but she'll definitely say no after what happened last year." Harry sighed "So who are you going to take?"
"I'm going with Rachel Lee, she's in Hufflepuff, I didn't know who else to ask." Ron said
"I know her, she's one of those giggling friends of Cho." Said Harry "Don't you think, well, that she's a little out of your league?" he had a worried look on his face as if he knew what Ron's reaction was going to be.
"HEY! She is not!" yelled Ron his face was beat red.
"No offense, but she IS one of the most popular girls in school," Ron still looked angry but Harry didn't notice. "Who are you going to take Hermione?"
Hermione blushed and giggled, "Victor Krum is coming all the way here just to go with me"
"VICTOR!" yelled Ron, a few people stared at him, his face was even redder than before "VICTOR! I swear Hermione he isn't any good, I can't believe you're going with him, I can't believe your even still speaking to him!" By this time about 20 people were pointing and staring.
Hermione jumped up out of her seat and stared at Ron with an angry look in her eyes "SO WHAT IF I AM!" This caused Mrs. McGonagal to tell them to quiet down "Why do you care anyway, what have you got against him, ever since he went to the Yule Ball with me that one time you've developed some sort of hate for him, I just don't get it!" Hermione whispered in a huff.
"It's just- it's just," Ron stammered "I don't know" he grabbed his books. "I'm going back to my room, see you there Harry"
Draco Malfoy sat up from the Slytherin table and ran towards Ron. "I heard you and the Mudblood arguing at the Gryffindor table Weasley" Draco said with a pleased look on his face "Is he jealous of Viktor perhaps?"
Ron blushed "Shut up Malfoy, it's none of your business, but then again your not very good at minding you own."
Malfoy looked at Ron, looking angry, then he walked away
Ron ran upstairs "Lemon drops" he said to the portrait of the fat lady. The portrait opened and revealed the Gryffindor common room. Ron ran to the boys' dormitory then into his room and plopped down on his bed. He had questions flying in his head, but the main one was, why do I care so much about Victor and Hermione? He stared up at the ceiling trying to think but had no clue. It took about a half an hour, but then he finally fell asleep.
