POTIONS CLASS-MONDAY

Snape prowled the rows of desks, looking malevolently around, occasionally stopping to peer over someone's shoulder, and make a particularly rude remark.

"Longbottom, if you insist on wasting your time by bothering to turn up for this class, next time sit and watch Granger will you? That way she's happy, having someone to boast to, and you don't waste YET ANOTHER CAULDRON!"

Neville whimpered, and Hermione flushed, bending her head over her own cauldron, a tear rolling down her cheek. Snape turned to face her. "Granger, you pathetic girl stop whimpering, and if you must insist on doing so, please save it for Potter's shoulder."

Harry opened his mouth angrily, but it was not him who spoke. "Oh shut up Snivellous!" Ron shouted, jumping to his feet, "Hermione doesn't love Harry…. Anyway what's it to you? Why don't you keep your greasy nose out of other peoples business for once in your pathetic life!" he screamed.

"Detention" spat Snape, his eyes ablaze. "And please kindly do not argue over that pathetic girl in my classroom! Save you sad little love life for someone who cares!"

The class went silent, and Neville sniffing, dropped his cauldrons contents onto the floor.

Ron shook himself out of the silence, and picking up his bag, he strolled out of the classroom mumbling "See you later" to a astounded looking Harry.

END OF SECTION

Ron didn't turn up for any lessons after Potions that day. Nor did he come to dinner. Harry and Hermione barely spoke, occasionally mumbling something about school. At dinner, however Hermione snapped.

"Harry, I need to know…. You know I do….but does Ron…well I mean, d….does he…"

Harry put down his fork and stared at her. "He likes you Hermione! He really likes you. Maybe he even loves you. I'm getting a bit sick of you two not realising! Just get together and save us all the trouble!"

"See you later." Hermione said, throwing her knife and fork down.

END OF SECTION

Hermione ran all the way down to the common room, shouted "pertrificous totalus" at the fat lady, and ran inside, searching for Ron. She found him slumped on a sofa, his back to her. When he heard footsteps, he turned round, and upon meeting eyes with Hermione, proceeded to turn a deep shad of maroon.

He then got up off the sofa, and turned towards the boys dormitories.

Hermione, looking aghast, ran after him. "Ron!" she called "Ron for gods sake!"

Ron stopped walking. "I'm an idiot. I know I've wrecked everything. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry." he muttered, turning to face her. "Please forget it."

Hermione reached her hand, and cupped it around his face, whispering "No." She pulled him towards her and kissed his lips softly.

Ron gulped, smiled slightly, then kissed her back.

This one a bit longer! Woohoo me! Hope you Like.
