The Bathroom
It took Ron a while to find Hermione; she had taken refuge in Moaning Myrtle's bathroom. When Ron entered Myrtle came out of her usual cubical.
"Oh its only you," she said scornfully, "Where's Harry?"
"None of you're business Myrtle," replied Ron, "Hermione?" he said softly, tapping on the locked cubicle Hermione was in, "come on Hermione, come out."
"She's not going to come out you know, she's been saying so since she got here, "I'm not ever coming out" she said. Where is Harry?" said Myrtle.
"Look Myrtle, no offence but don't you have somewhere else you can go? I really need a chat with Hermione and I'd like to do it without your silly comments," said Ron tersely.
"Fine," said Myrtle sulkily, "I understand. Nobody wants stupid ugly old Myrtle."
"No Myrtle its not like that," said Ron trying to put on what he thought was a reassuring voice, "its just I really need to talk to Hermione alone."
"Ohhh I understand," Myrtle giggled, "I always thought she'd go for Harry, he's much better looking you know, where is he by the way?"
Ron rolled his eyes, "if I tell you will you go and pester him?"
"Oh yes, I would like that," said Myrtle in a dreamy voice.
"He's out with Hagrid, in his cabin by the forbidden forest, I'm sure he'd really like to see you."
Myrtle floated away, Ron sighed, glad she had gone, now to the task at hand.
"Hermione, can you come out please?" he said softly. He could hear her sobs clearly.
"I cant Ron, I'm not leaving here until the potion wears off or we find the antidote," said Hermione her words punctured by sniffs.
"Come on Hermione think about what you just said, it's not like you to be so irrational," said Ron kindly.
Hermione sighed and after a few minutes of composing herself, slid back the lock on the door and slowly came out. When she saw Ron she managed a small smile, he looked nothing short of cute; his hair on end where he had run his hands through it repeatedly with worry.
"That's more like it," Ron smiled. He held out his arms inviting Hermione into a hug, she gladly accepted. They stood like that for a long time, just content with each other's company. Hermione was shocked by how much Ron had managed to comfort her. She knew he found it hard to deal with emotions, and that he was awkward when it came to hugs. It was just what she needed.
When she finally pulled away from the embrace, he looked directly at her and said, "Do you want to talk about it?"
Hermione nodded, "yes I think I need to talk, I have been keeping it to myself for too long."
Ron listened as Hermione told him how hard she was finding it to cope with all the unwanted attention. She told him about Dean and Ginny. She told him in more detail what Malfoy had said and done. Ron said nothing. He just listened, nodding in some places to show he was still paying attention. Hermione was extremely grateful to finally get it out of her system. She cried, she got angry, she even managed to laugh, as she looked back on the crazy effects the potion had had on people. When she told him about Snape, Ron excused himself, ran into one of the cubicles and pretended to throw up. Hermione couldn't help laughing. She felt a huge weight had been taken off her shoulders and it was all thanks to Ron. "It's true what they say about a problem shared," thought Hermione.
"What about you then?" said Hermione when she was all talked out and wanted to listen for a while.
"What about me?" said Ron.
"How does the potion affect you?" asked Hermione, eager to know the different ways it influenced people.
Ron thought about it for a while then said, "Well, I'm not sure exactly how to explain it. It just like makes me more err," his voice trailed off. It took him a bit longer to find the right words. "It doesn't seem to effect me that much really. I just say some things that I wouldn't usually say, and I think about you more than I usually do, and I notice lots of little things that I like about you," he said blushing.
Hermione nodded, it made sense; it seemed like the same kind of things that Malfoy had said. She looked over at Ron, he was still bright red. She couldn't help smiling; she was so fortunate to have such good friends.
Speaking of friends, "where's Harry?" asked Hermione.
"He stayed with Hagrid, trying to sort him out, Malfoy really upset him you know."
"Yeah I know, Malfoy's such an, urgh, I don't know what he is but I don't like it. I can't understand why people have to be so damn mean," said Hermione shaking her head.
"So you didn't enjoy it then?" said Ron finally asking the question that had been niggling at him for a while.
"Enjoy what? I can't enjoy anything when Malfoy's around," said Hermione.
"The kiss," Ron muttered.
Hermione threw Ron a dirty look, "as if I could enjoy something like that Ron, really. He forced himself onto me. Yuck, I feel ill even thinking about it."
Ron's profile changed at this, his shoulders relaxed and he looked much happier.
"I was worried there for a moment," said Ron flippantly.
"Why would you be worried?" said Hermione a little sharply, "its only Malfoy!"
"Well, according to Ginny he's good looking," said Ron his face turning red again.
Hermione laughed at Ron, she punched his arm playfully, "its not all about looks you know."
Ron smiled, but the look in his eyes was humourless, "I love you Hermione," he said. He caught her up in his arms and pressed a soft kiss onto her mouth. Hermione sighed when he pulled away; she hadn't wanted it to end.
"Who taught you to kiss Ron?" she said, instantly thinking it was a stupid thing to say, but it was the only thing that her mind could focus on after such a mind-blowing sensation had just rocketed round her body.
"My pillow," said Ron completely seriously, bringing Hermione in for a second kiss.
It was at that point that Myrtle came floating back through the wall, upon seeing Ron and Hermione she let out a high pitched giggle, causing Hermione to come to her senses. "What am I doing?" she thought, "this is Ron, he's a friend nothing else, he's only like this because of the potion." Hermione pulled away.
"We better get going, we have missed lunch, but we don't want to be late for classes," said Hermione shyly, turning her back on Ron and walking out of the bathroom, in the direction of Transfiguration.
