Chapter 3

Unlikely.....?



*I have had so much fun writing this! I'm gonna keep doing this, thank you for the reviews, you know who you are! Hope you enjoy!*





Hermione eyed Ron as he bit into a piece of fried chicken that they had ordered.

What did that look in his eyes mean?

She had noticed a gleam in his eyes while she talked to him that she had never noticed before.....

Now, she knew that she was an intelligent witch, but she was never the smarted girl in the boys department, and she knew it. She left that kind of thing to Parvati and Lavender (who were giggling with their matches at that very moment). Besides, at least they knew how to flirt!

Obviously Pansy Parkinson knew how to swoon men too (Hermione had never known!), for she was making Harry laugh so hard that he couldn't even eat, which was quite amazing, seeing as though Harry was like any other teenage boy: ate everything whenever he could.

"Herm, what are you thinking about?" Ron asked after he finished chewing.

"Oh, nothing.....still, I wonder why we were set to be matches? We're friends already!" Hermione said, trying to be subtle, seeing what his reaction would be.

"Yeah....I know..." Ron said quietly, then reached for his Butterbeer.

"So........didn't you say earlier this year that Fred and George suddenly made tons of money and bought you new dress robes?" she said after a moment of silence.

Ron nodded, "Still don't know where that money came from, though. Mum and Dad thought it was from the Wheezes, but they swear it wasn't. I figure Ludo paid up."

"Hmm..." Hermione mumbled.

What was happening? She and Ron had been friends for five years, and had been alone plenty of times. Why was it that this time, she felt like something was different?

"So, do you have new dress robes or ones from before?" Ron said, blushing (thinking of last year's, when she looked stunning in blue).

"Well, I do, actually.....but I don't want to ruin the surprise..." she winked at him, and he grinned, red faced.

Hermione was confused.

Why had she just winked cheekily like that?

Why had Ron gone the colour of the sun setting on a hot summer night?

Why were they matched together?

Why was everything turning out to be so........unlikely?



*What do you think? I like it....sweet and subtle..... Hope you liked! Next chapter up soon!*
