~*Lean on Me*~
A Ron and Hermione story
(A/N) Hey guys. I finally got to post! But don't be expecting another one this week because I'm actually suppose to be punished from the computer but I snuck on today when my parent weren't around. I be sure to post more when my punishments over, I promise. But for now be happy I actually got to post today. Anywho I hope you enjoy this Chapter. It's mainly just to show the development of their relationship more than anything. I just threw it in to give my story a little spice. Beware there may be some minor swearing, okay. Enjoy. ~ Love from Lizzie
(Disclaimer) Okay this is gunna be hard so I'm just gunna say it really really fast. "NoneofthesecharactersincludingRonarenotmine!" There, I said it. Happy now?
Chapter III: Potions with the Slytherins
For the next three days Ron and Hermione didn't speak a word about what had happened between them the night of the last Gryffindor Quidditch practice. They acted unusually nice to each other, which brought curious stares in their direction.
Hermione hadn't noticed the continuous looks and instead focused on thinking about "that night". What had happened between them? Was there something happening between the two of them? Undoubtedly not. He doesn't even look at me anymore. Why did I ever think he would like a hideous girl like me? I must have been insane to ever consider it. He doesn't like girls like me.
"Ms. Granger."
"Yes ma'am?" Hermione looked up into Professor McGonagall's stern face.
"Can you please answer my question?"
"I,um...I...I..." Hermione looked around frantically, hoping to maybe see the answer flying around the room or something. "I don't know, Professor." she mumbled looking sadly embarrassed at her bookcover.
On either side of her, Harry and Ron turned sharply to her with surprised and concerned looks on their faces. The rest of the class gave one huge gasp and turned to look at her with awe-strucked looks on their faces.
Lavender ceased the moment and decided to take the part of the smart one in the class and waved her arm madly in the air.
Professor McGonagall ignored it however and instead stared at Hermione with a curious look in her eyes that replaced her usually stern one. "Is there something you would like to discuss with me after class, Ms. Granger."
"No Professor." Hermione said not taking her eyes off her book.
"Professor. Professor, I have the answer." Lavender called waving her hand energetically, almost falling out of her chair with anticipation.
"Yes, Ms. Brown. "Professor McGonagall growled impatiently.
"Hermione, is there something wrong?" Harry whispered drowning Lavender's answer from her ears.
"No I'm...I'm fine." she said with a very forced half-smile.
Towards the end of class, two flyers were passed out to the students in their class. "Hogsmede weekend is going to be this weekend and its the last trip before Christmas break, students! And for those of you who are planning to be Aurors, there will be a meeting to discuss training courses in February. I would also like to see the Head Boy and Girl in my office Monday afternoon to discuss arrangements of a new event to take place when we return from vacation. Thank you. Class dismissed!"
Harry and Hermione exchanged looks of disgust. Every time they were called for Head Boy and Girl duties they had to spend about five hours of work to do. There was a slim chance that this time would be any different.
"Good. Hogsmede is this weekend! I need to buy your Christmas presents." Ron said looking mainly at Harry.
Hermione watched her feet as they moved along down the corridor to their next class, Potions.
"You'll be needing something to look forward to so w can get through Snape's class without dying of misery." Harry snickered slightly trying to catch Hermione's eye.
Hermione however took no notice to the two boys' looks of concern and continued to watch her pattern of footsteps down the dungeon steps. She carefully stepped over the continuous spots of brownish-green slime that the boys carelessly stepped in. Suddenly Ron grabbed her sleeve and pulled her sharply to the side. She hadn't noticed that they had already made it down to Snape's dungeon and she had almost ran into the most undesirable person to run head-long into, Draco Malfoy. Ron and Harry both put their hands in their robes almost instantaneously, almost as a reflex, undoubtedly clutching their wands.
"Watch where you're going, Granger. I wouldn't want your nasty Mudblood germs to rub off on me." Draco snarled evilly looking at Hermione as though she were some kind of disease-carrying rat. She just rolled her eyes and turned away because she had learned not to care about what Malfoy said about her. Over the many years of his taunting she had grown accustomed to his menacing ways.
Harry had one hand on his wand which hung at his side and had the other hand on one of Ron's shoulder, holding him back slightly. Ron had his wand out now and was pointing it threateningly at Malfoy's heart. "I'm warning you, Malfoy, you rotten, good for nothing, low life piece of shit! If you insult her one more time I will strangle you with my bare hands." Ron grumbled. A look of of great strain was forming on his freckled face, as if he were holding on very hard not to throw himself at Malfoy at that very second.
"Is that a threat, Weasley?" Malfoy grinned menacingly as he looked over his shoulder.
"May-be!"
"Wands away Weasley, Potter. Fifteen points from Gryffindor." Snape shot from the unlit corner of the corridor that Malfoy was just looking at.
"What for?" Ron yelled bravely as he turned to face the hook-nosed teacher.
"For your threatening of another student! "Snape spat with an evil grin upon his greasy face.
Anger and dislike shone like a light on every inch of Harry's face at the oily-haired teacher's head, now leading them into the cold dungeon room
"And another ten points, for your questioning of my authority." Snape retorted as the Slytherin and Gryffindor students found their seats in the damp stone classroom.
"Slimy git." Ron growled at his cauldron.
"Which one?" Hermione questioned.
"Both of them, Snape and that sad excuse for a human-being, Malfoy."
"Thanks for sticking up for me. You really didn't have to."
"Sure I did! Malfoy's an ass and your my friend. Besides no one can call you names except me. But...you know I'd never call you, um, 'that', right?"
"I know." Hermione blushed as Ron looked at her for the first time since that night of their last practice.
"Good 'cause I want you to know that I'd never want to hurt you like that. I'd rather eat ten gallons of spiders than call you that, and I promise you that spiders aren't on the top of my favorite foods list. In fact, I don't think their on any of my favorite anything list."
"Thanks, Ron." Hermione giggled almost forgetting she was still in Snape's class. Her heart was pounding as she opened her notebook to copy notes from the blackboard. Ron had just told her he'd never want to hurt her and at this moment it meant the world. ~*~
