~~***~~ Chapter One

It was almost the end of his sixth year. Voldemort was supposed to be defeated. So what was this ridiculous dream for?

He stood up and put on his glasses. He got dressed and went into the common room. When he entered the common room, he found a most amusing sight.

"What are the two of you doing?!" he asked with an amused tone.

"Harry!" cried Hermione, looking very guilty.

"Harry, uh, we weren't doing anything! You uh, just got here, right?" stammered Ron, who also had a suspiciously guilty look on his face.

"But Ron, I just caught you two kissing," laughed Harry. "I didn't know that you two had feelings for each other; er, well at least, I didn't know that you had feelings for Ron, Hermione."

"Trust me, Harry, it came as a surprise to me too," she said with a laugh.

"Harry, can you give us a minute?" asked Ron, pulling himself away from Hermione.

"Yeah, sure, no problem," answered Harry with a knowing smile. He went back into the dormitories

Harry took a book off of the shelf and took a seat in a chair near the window. Just as he began to open the book, Ron walked in, with cheeks as red as ever.

"Harry, er, well, we didn't plan this. I, uh, well, I'll explain. Hermione and I had both awoken early for some reason, and we both went into the common room, her to read, me to practice Wizard's chess. But when we both found each other, we sat down and had a real conversation. And you know better than anyone how I have been feeling about her! So, I told her, then we kissed and, well, you were witness to the rest," stammered Ron rapidly.

"I understand Ron. Ask her to be your girlfriend. She'll say yes! I know that she will! You have liked her for so long, and I am so sick of hearing about it! So come on! Just ask her!" Harry said, hoping he'd be able to convince his friend to do as he said.

"I don't know, Harry. What if she thinks that I am some sort of pig, since I kissed her and all? Maybe she didn't want me to kiss her. What if she hates me now?!?!"

"Ron! Stop it!!! If you think like that, then your thoughts will probably come true! Just go ask her! Even if she says no, she wont hate you! I promise you! She's one of your best friends, that wont change, okay?" Ron gave Harry an unsure look and smiled weakly. "Okay, Harry, if you say so. But if she hates me, I will never forgive you!"

Harry watched as Ron slowly exited the Common Room. As soon as the door shut, Harry tiptoed over to it and silently opened it a crack.

"Hullo, Hermione... I was uhh... just wondering if we could talk about what just happened between us, err, I know that it's probably kind of, uhhm, awkward, but uhhh, well, did it mean anything to you?" stuttered Ron, more red than Harry had ever seen him.

"Well, it was a bit unexpected..." started Hermione.

"You hate me now!!! I knew that you would!" Ron pouted.

"Wait a minute, did I say that? No, I don't believe I did. To be perfectly honest with you, I have been wondering when you would kiss me. And yes, Ron, it meant a lot to me that you were the first person to kiss me." Hermione said softly, her cheeks also a slight pinkish color.

"Really, you mean it? Because it meant a lot to me too. I mean I really like you Hermione." Ron said surprisingly calmly, the red fading from his cheeks.

"I really like you too, Ron. I have for a long time, and I knew that you felt the same, I was just waiting for you to make the first move."

"Hermione, would you like to be my girlfriend?" ask Ron, the red returning to his cheeks.

"Yes, Ron I would like that very much."
