Chapter 2
A Rose with Thorns Of Passion ~Rons PoV~

Breakfast went smoothly I suppose you could say. Hermione acted as if nothing happened back in the common room. She was sort of frightening me with how much she's changed. And by how much she didn't care that she kissed me. This was all too much for me to handle. But I guess I will take Gin's advice and right her a note...maybe cast her a rose with it.

I Had the Boys Dormitory to myself since everyone was down stairs sitting in the common room telling about their summer. Of course I wanted to listen but Hermione was more important to me...at least I think so...

I'm not good with writing though. I never have been, I'm not good with words so that left me to lead to one thing and one thing only...my sister.

I jumped up from my seat and walked down stairs where every Gryffindor listened intently to Seamus as he told of his adventure fighting off an evil poltergeist in his inherited castle in Scotland.

I however didn't believe a word of it so I just searched out Ginny and walked to her side.

"Gin," I whispered not wanting to interrupt Seamus, "I need your help on the note."

She rolled her eyes as usual but agreed and walked with me to the stairs.

Suddenly she stopped. "Ginny what are you doing!?"

"Sisterles Grantas." She spoke and pointed her wand at the stairs.

"What was that? Are you cursing the stairs so I'll grow plants out of my face?"

"No git girls aren't allowed in the boys Dormitory but I found a cheat...let's not discuss this now!"

I shrugged and led her to where I was working on the note.

"Okay just follow what I say and you'll be fine!" Ginny sat on my bed.

The note was quite good I have to admit. This is what it turned out to be.

Dear Hermione,
To tell you I love you has taken about 5 years now. So let me just get to the point. I'm deeply in love with you, I've dreamed of being with you for so many years. I've wished for these dreams to become reality. For you to tell me so suddenly caught me off guard. I'm sorry if I didn't act like I loved you back. But to free my heart finally is such a relief. Glad we've gotten our feelings out.

Love you so much,

Ron Weasley

"Blood Risto Red Rosa." I shouted and a beautiful Blood coloured rose sprung from my wand.

"This should be enough shouldn't it?" I smiled at Ginny.

She ginned back, "She'll love it."

Ginny ran back out of the Boys Dormitory and into the Girls Dormitory. She placed the note and the rose on Hermione's pillow and walked casually back to where Seamus was still telling his story.

After everyone was done having a say about their summer, most of the girls went up to talk and a few to Quidditch Practice, same with the boys.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*Hermione's PoV*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

I walked back into the Girls Dormitory, to find a note lying on my pillow. I glanced around to see if anyone noticed it but no one seemed to care.

I slowly picked up the note revealing a beautiful rose under it. I decided to open the note in the common room where everyone left so I could be alone. I picked up the rose by the end of the stem and made my way down to the big Gryffindor chair.

I picked at the Hogwarts seal and revealed the note that lay inside. My blank expression face turned into a flushed grinning face. He has a way with words... I thought to myself. I remembered the rose and picked it up forgetting about the thorns.

"Ah, OW!" I shouted as one of the thorns deepened its way through my skin. A gush of blood trickled out...and I tried to blink my tears away.

"Well, now that wasn't supposed to happen," A calming voice said behind me.

I turned my head to see Ron walking around the chair to face me.

"Oh." I whispered as my mind clogged and I was left helpless and speechless.

"Let me help..." Ron smiled and kissed my finger, "Better?"

I couldn't help my grin from ear to ear. "Much better."

"Those were meant to be thorns of passion...not thorns to make you cry." Ron said lovingly.

(A/N: Okay so that was what I have so far, R/R...Flames ARE welcome.)
