Chapter 4: The Plot thickens
Ron had the worst nights sleep ever. He ended up tossing and turning. Every time he closed his eyes he just saw Hermione's, beautiful, face in front of him. He could still feel the soft touch of her lips on his. He didn't know why these feelings for her were so strong now. He's always had feelings, but he's been able to control them. If someone told him yesterday morning that Hermione was going to kiss him he would have laughed and asked them if they have been drinking any fire whiskey.
Ron decided that he couldn't take it anymore so he got out of bed and started heading for the door. He was trying to be quiet so not to wake his roommates. He felt that there was no reason for them to miss out on sleep just because a certain girl was haunting his dreams.
Ron made his way down the staircase towards the common room when he heard two voices. He stopped and listened and realised it was Harry and Ginny talking. He was about to greet them when he heard them talking about him and Hermione. He stopped just at the end of the stairway and listened.
"That love potion plan of yours worked brilliantly." "I know but it wouldn't have worked if it wasn't for you getting Ron to drink it after Quidditch." Ron kept on listening, but still not sure what they were talking about. "I never thought that Ron would say all those things, even with the help of the love potion." "Yes, but you should have seen Hermione. I can't even remember what she said. I just remember her walking over to him and kissing him the way she did. It was one thing of her saying how she feels but it was another of her showing it." "I know. I was shocked. I froze to the spot and was only able to move once Hermione walked out of the room." "It was strange though how quickly she walked out. She didn't even say anything afterwards." Ron peered past the wall, so not to be noticed, and looked at Harry and Ginny while still listening to what they have to say. "At least we know by giving them the love potion we help the process move along faster. That and we have confirmed our theory of them having feelings for each other." "Just one thing Ginny, how long does the side affects of the love potion last?" "I'm not really sure. I need to check the book. I'll go after breakfast."
Ron listened in shock. He couldn't believe what he was hearing. It all made sense now. That's why everything was different between him and Hermione. It wasn't him saying all those things. It was the love potion making him say those things. He was still thinking about it when he realised that Harry and Ginny had stood up and was on their way to the stair case.
Ron moved as fast and quietly up the stairs as he could. He made a dash for his bed and pulled the covers over him so that it looked like he was still sleeping. He heard Harry coming in and moving towards his cupboard. Ron only had to pretend for an about a minutes because Harry left as quickly as he came in.
While still in bed Ron realised that this meant the only reason why Hermione kissed him was because of this love potion that Harry and Ginny were talking about. This meant that all those things she said to him didn't really come from her. He couldn't believe that they did this to him and Hermione. Why would they do this? What did they say about confirming their suspicion about feelings that he and Hermione had for each other. He couldn't think anymore so he decided to go down to breakfast, not that he had much of an appetite.
Ron was on his way down the passageway towards The Great Hall when he bumped into Hermione. No one said anything. Hermione looked at her feet and Ron at the portraits around them. Ron didn't know what to do so he just mumbled something about going to breakfast, said goodbye and left.
Hermione just stared at Ron as he was heading towards the Great Hall. It just didn't feel right to her not talking to him. She wanted to talk to him about what's been happening so that things can get back to normal. Hermione went back to the Common room to get her books and everything ready for classes.
Neither Ron nor Hermione was able to pay any attention in their classes. Professor McGonagall even yelled at Hermione for the first time ever to pay attention and do the work. Ron thought about it a lot and decided it was his duties as her friend to tell her about the love potion that Harry and Ginny gave them.
After lunch Ron ran after her and stopped her half way to Hagrids cottage. "Hermione, Hermione," Ron yelled while running "Hermione I need to talk to you." ""Ron I don't...I can't talk to you right now." "Hermione it wasn't you saying those things yesterday." "Ron what are you talking about?" "Can we sit down and talk somewhere please?"
Hermione hesitated not sure of what to do. She thought about it and new that if they didn't talk now things might not go back to normal. Hermione looked over at Ron and smiled and then said, "Alright." Ron and Hermione moved to some grassy patch under a tree near the Weeping willow. "Hermione I have a lot to tell you so if I can just tell you what I know, because I know that you will have questions." "Alright, go ahead."
Ron stared at Hermione before starting to tell the story. He told her about how he overheard Harry and Ginny talking. How they spoke about a love potion they made and gave to someone. He also went on saying how he heard how they talked about giving him the potion and how it also seemed that hey gave it to her. When he come to the end of the story Hermione's mouth was hanging in disbelieve.
"I can't they believed they did this to us," yelled Hermione, throwing her hands up and down in disbelieve. "Why would they do such a thing?" "I don't know," said Ron. "Are you sure you heard them correctly," Hermione looked at Ron wanting to see some hope that he was unsure of what he heard. "I heard them clearly Hermione." Hermione stood up and started passing back and forth in front of Ron. She looked at Ron and then asked, "Well what are we going to do about this." Ron looked at her, surprised at the question, "what do you mean?'
"Well, seeing as how they did this to us, how about we do something to them?" "Hermione, what is that brilliant mind of yours cooking up now?" "Well I was thinking how about we do a little love spell on them." "Hermione," Ron was shocked at that comment, "you do remember that you're talking about my sister and my best friend?"
"Ron don't be stupid," Hermione looked at him with even more love then before, "but haven't you noticed how close they've been lately?" "Of course Hermione, that's because they've been planning our little love potion mission." Hermione looked at Ron with a little embarrassment on her face, "I guess your right, but what else can we do or do you just want them to get away with what they've done to us?"
Ron thought about it and realised that Hermione was right. They couldn't let Harry and Ginny just get away with this. Ron looked up at Hermione and just realised something, "How many people do you think know about what they did?" "Thinking about it now, probably all our friends in Gryffindor." "Why do you think that?" asked Ron with a look of concentration on his face. "Well, what would you do if you were in their shoes and saw us kissing?" "Wonder what the hell is going on and start asking questions." "Exactly and so far no ones come to ask me anything, not even Lavender. What about you, as anyone asked you anything about what's been happening lately?"
Ron sat thinking about that question and then realised that no one has approached him. "No ones asked me anything but Dean and Seamus have been doing a lot of laughing every time I walk into a room." "Same here, how long do you think they've been planning this," asked Hermione "I have to say about a few weeks now." "I think your right because that's how long the potion alone would have taken to be made."
"So what are we going to do about it, because now more then anything am I willing to get back at them?" Hermione smiled at Ron's comment and sat down next to him again and gave him a quick hug. Ron looked a little shocked and surprised.
"What was that for?" "I'm just glad things are getting back to normal between us, they are, aren't they? I hate not talking to you." "Same here, Mione" Hermione smiled at the use of her nickname that Ron always used for her.
"So," Ron smiled looking at Hermione, "what are we going to do about our so called friends?" "Give me time to think, I'll come up with something good." said Hermione smiling a very devious smile.
