Hey you guys! I hoped you like the first chapter...heres the second! Oh yes...all thoughts are in Italic. Ok Sooo well Enjoy! RandR!

Ron walked down the steps into the common room Saturday morning to find Hermione sitting on the couch, clearly getting a head start on her homework. He shook his head slowly after spotting Dean in the far corner with a few Gryffindor girls nearby, or more like surrounding him. Ron sat down beside Hermione and played his role as "The Boyfriend".

"er..Hi." This wasn't as easy as it sounded.

It's just Hermione, you git

She smiled at him. Maybe he wasn't doing such a bad job.

"So Hermione, I was wondering if you wanted to go to Hogsmeade today...with me."

"Well Sure, Ron." She glanced over to the corner, and then looked back to Ron.

Why did he feel slightly irritated at her for doing that?

"Well I better go...get ready..." Ron slowly got up, giving her a look that clearly said "Sorry I suck at this...", and exited the Common Room.

While sharing a carriage to Hogsmeade, Hermione and Ron discussed the plans for that day.

"Oh yes, hold my hand when we're seen by other people."

"Aw, do I have to?"

"Yes!"

"Geez, Hermione...This just seems like a lot of work for one guy..."

"Ron! It's not just one guy. It's Dean! I think I love him." Ron gaped at her.

"You what? You're much to young to go fall in love!" He knew he sounded like his mother but he couldn't believe what she had just said. She just ignored him.

"We're here..." She grabbed his hand and pulled him out of the carriage.

"So where should we go first?" She asked him, looking up at him, and seeing his gloomy face. "Please Ron! Please do this for me. Make it seem believable."

He looked down at her for awhile, and then his face brightened a bit.

"Well if you really want it to seem that believable..." He let go of her hand and placed his own around her waist, pulling her in close. "How's that?" He grinned and winked down at her.

A few students who knew them from Hogwarts passed by just then, staring as they went along, clearly shocked by what they saw.

They spotted Dean not to far off and followed him inside a building. They both sat at a table in the back, and while Ron was off getting them both butterbeers, Hermione was busy glaring at the back of Dean's head. At one point he turned around, and gave her a weak smile, and then nodded towards Ron, as if to say "you chose him over me?" Hermione shrugged and turned her head away, just as Ron was getting back.

"You uh ok?" He sat down, close beside her, and put an arm around her. This was becoming easier for him to do.

"I'm great." She sipped slowly at her Butterbeer.

As the day wore on, Ron and Hermione became more and more like a couple. Ron even went as far as to kiss the top of her head when they were walking back to the carriages to take them back to Hogwarts. Little did he know, that this sent shivers up her spine, and a tinge to her cheeks.

In the Common Room later on that night, they were stretched on the couch when none other did Harry walk in.

"Harry!" They both sat up and exclaimed at once.

"How's your arm, mate?" Ron eyed him nervously. While Harry eyed the two of them back.

"It's as good as new...What's going on here?"

"Oh Harry I can explain just sit down before you draw attention to us!" Hermione pulled him down onto the couch, and Hermione began telling him what happened.

"Well ok you see...Me and Ron are together, but-"

"What?!" Harry jumped up off the couch. "You and Ron are Dating?! Well, Why am I so surprised? Always knew it'd happen one day..." Ron slapped himself in the forehead, while everyone in the Common Room stared at them.

Lavender took this time to hurry over.

"Hmm Hermione when were you going to tell me this?" She eyed her friend suspiciously.

Oh no she doesn't believe us. Are me and Ron really that shocking together?

"Er..Well..I..."

"Because if you, how come you guys aren't kissing yet? No one saw you kiss today in Hogsmeade."

Because I'm not a slut like you...

"Er...well...we have..." She glanced over to Ron nervously. Lavender crossed her arms and would not be satisfied.

"Well let's see it then." Ron was about to kill this girl.

"You want to see us...kiss...right now?"

"I'm sure I speak for everybody in this room right now when I say that you just don't seem...well...you know..." But they had no idea, it couldn't have been good, though, if Lavender didn't believe them.

Ron took a deep breath and then another one. He told himself he has to do this for Hermione.

"Well alright then," he told her, while he stood and pulled Hermione up with him. Without wasting anymore time, he leaned down, held her close and kissed her. He was even a bit surprised to feel her kiss back. They quickly pulled apart, looked at each other, and then at Lavender. Ron raised a questionable eyebrow at her, and was relieved when she walked away. They both sat back down.

Harry cleared his throat, and sat beside Ron.

"Harry...I'm doing it to make Dean jealous! We're just acting..." She was relieved when Harry finally understood.

Ron stared into the fire. He knew for a fact that he wasn't just acting, anymore.
