Eliza got up before her roommates the next morning and decided to
head down to breakfast early and maybe work on that potions
assignment Snape had given them the day before. She skipped her way
down the stairs and into the breakfast hall humming her own little
tune. Lost in her music she didn't even notice the boy standing in
the middle of the walkway and bumped right into him, nearly knocking
herself to the floor. He grabbed her before she could however and
when she came to her senses she finally saw who it was. "Ron! What
are you doing down here this early?" She asked curiously. "I could
ask you the same question..." he replied with that cute accent that
made her weak in the knees every time she heard it. "Well, I was
just up before everyone else and decided to head down early. What's
your story?" she asked. "I couldn't sleep." "Why not?" "I was
thinking." She really wanted to ask what he was thinking so hard
about that it kept him up all night but decided against it. *He'll
think I'm prying into his personal life, don't want to lose a friend
before I really even make one...* she thought, as she took a seat at
the Gryffindor table. He slid in next to her, really close she
noticed. She glanced over at him and caught him staring at her. He
quickly turned away, and surprise of all surprises, he was turning
red all over. She giggled and thought *caught ya!* Suddenly, out of
no where, a house elf popped up and started hopping around asking
them what they would like to eat, or drink or if they wanted any
kind of service at all. Eliza found this creature incredibly funny
and couldn't help but laugh out loud at it. Ron glanced up, eyes
sparkling, and muttered something uncomprehensible under his
breath. "What was that?" Eliza asked. "I just said you're really
cute when you laugh..." he trailed off, looking surprised at himself
for actually saying such a thing out loud. But then, out of the
blue, he leaned over and kissed her gently on the cheek. Eliza was
shocked but didn't have time to reply because at that moment the
Great Hall started filling with people and Harry and Hermione both
ran up talking excitedly about the fun day ahead of them.
