Hermione and Ron

JK Rowling gets all the characters, I get the books and my toothpaste!

I couldn't wait to write this chapter! My pal Padfoot (aka Mimi) has given me a great idea!!! I'm not picking it just because she's one of my best friends in the world, I'm picking it because well, it's a great idea and I think it's just plain funny!!! – Moony

Chapter 6

"Hermione, since we know about each other now, we could well, get together some time..." Ron said tentatively. They had only just told secrets, he knew it was too soon to be considering... dating.

Hermione smiled softly and leaned her face towards Ron's. She was getting close, too close. Ron could see every eyelash on her eyes. Of course, he had wanted this for a while, but still, not today, the day when he confessed. He wanted it later, when the love was well, deep?

'Ron! What are you thinking? This is getting too out of hand, stop Hermione! Look how close she's getting! Ah!'

The Three Broomsticks door flew open and some snow whirled in. Hermione snapped her head back up and looked to see who had entered. Who but, Luna (Loony) Lovegood? She glided smoothly to Madame Rosmerta, where she paid for a fruit cocktail and sat down beside Ron. Ron cleared his throat softly. Hermione looked furious.

"Excuse me Luna?" she asked.

"Yes?" Luna said in a dreamy voice.

"You just sat here without our consent? Maybe we want some privacy?"

Luna's normally dreamy eyes flicked to serious and hard.

"Privacy? Did you two want to..." she stopped, the continued, "Get together? Are you on a date? Kiss?"

"Of course not! But we were... we were... we were talking about S.P.E.W.! Right Ron?"

"Erm, yea, that sounds about right, yup, spew, uh huh," Ron spoke hesitantly.

Luna's eyes flickered back to dreamy.

"You can't hide secrets from me, Mione."

"Don't call me Mione! And what sort of secrets would I be hiding? I'm not hiding any secrets, right Ron?"

"Yea, what secrets is she hiding?" Ron said. He sounded like a robot and wasn't really helping.

"Mione, I know you two were about to kiss," Luna said.

"WHAT? KISS? Are you out of your mind?"

"I saw your head leaning closer to Ron."

"I was... whispering something!"

Again Loo-Luna's eyes flickered to hard and cold.

"No! You were going to kiss! I know it! I can tell these things, and Mione, you – you'd better stay away from Ronald! Because, because, I like him, and you can't have him!"

"Why not? He likes ME, not YOU!"

"No he doesn't! Who do you like Ron, who do you like? Who are you truly in love with?"

"I – I – I well, I..." Ron seemed at a loss for words. Two girls liked him, and both of them wanted him. What was he supposed to do in a situation like this?

Luna's eyes, once more flickered to her dreamy state, "Don't worry Ronald, I understand. It'd be embarrassing if you had to tell me in front of Hermione."

Luna's eyes became cold at the sight of Hermione.

"I know you like him too, Mione. I'll do anything I can to stop you from getting to him. He's MINE."

With that, Luna stormed out of the Three Broomsticks.

Ok, I'm straying from the topic a little, sorry, but I thought the idea of someone who liked Ron butted in was cool. Also, if you like this story and are dying for another chapter very soon, you must READ THIS! A VERY IMPORTANT NOTICE: I am going on a trip to China for the summer. I will be gone for six weeks. Unfortunately, there will be no internet access there, so I will not be able to update for six weeks. Terribly sorry for those who are always dying to read the next chapter!!! I will manually write it in my notebook though, and when I return, will update ASAP! Meanwhile, I encourage you to read the story both me and Padfoot did – When Padfoot Talks Moony Into Being SugarHigh. There are only two chapters because Padfoot slacks in this job. But I am sure, to keep you hooked, she will update, RIGHT PADFOOT? I'll keep my fingers crossed. My readers are really important to me, so I'll update as soon as possible when I come back!!! – Moony
