Hmmm....the pool?

Ron's POV

I stared at her! I can't believe I just stared at her. Like I was a zombie. Oh my gawd! I am such an idiot! Ron you are stupid stupid stupid! I feel like kicking myself! What should I do? Do I play it cool and just go? Or do I act caring and talk about something else? Oh well! I'll just go for it! I mean it can't go that bad! I will tell her about my feelings.......sometime.......I just want to make sure that the time is right. I will not hurt her! Well stop staring Ron and go get your trunks on ...I nudged Harry and we went to my room to get changed. Hermione and Ginny went into Ginny's room.

Hermione's POV

What is he staring at? I said I wanted to go to the pool! What is so big about that? Well it'll be nice to see Ron in the pool! Ha ha. Anyway he better get going....Maybe he likes me? Is it possible we both like each other? Or is it just me? Oh I don't know....Finally he moved. He looked so cute in his jeans. But I bet he'll look cuter in his trunks

They all got dressed in their rooms. When Ron and Harry came out they waited at the bottom of the stairs for the girls. And it took about 15 minutes.

"What could possibly take this long?" Ron asked Harry "I mean they're putting on a bathing suit it can't take a ½ hour!"

"Obviously it can." They laughed a little bit and when they looked up the girls were standing there.

Ron looked dumbstruck. Hermione was wearing a pink bikini and it showed off her well tanned body and her muscular legs.

Ron could see Harry staring at Ginny. Ron thought for a skinny little red head she looked pretty good.

She was wearing a turquoise tankini. It was nice Ron thought but he thought Harry thought it was better than that.

Ron felt himself turning red Ginny is his little sister and even Harry staring at her made him feel protective.

"Ron we can apparate now remember?!" Hermione said with a cruel grin on her face.

Ron looked shrewdly at Harry. "Ah yes but we can still joke young witch!" He said in a mock wise voice.

Ginny rolled her eyes but Hermione smiled. Ron noticed her perfect teeth again and was lost.

"Come on you guys lets go to the pool." Hermione said and all they heard was a faint pop and she was gone.

The rest of them walked.

When they got to the pool Hermione was already in.

Ron couldn't stop staring at her. She was so beautiful! She had long muscular legs and even a 6 pack! He was amazed at how she looked. I guess all those years of carrying books gives you a little muscle. He almost chuckled out loud.

Harry was ditto with Ginny. Ron felt a little uneasy, just like before. He trusted Harry but you know...

Ron didn't know how he could have not noticed Hermione's beauty before the 5th or 6th year! He was amazed with how much of a knucklehead he was.

She was wading around. And she looked up at him. "It's cold!" She said then she laughed and ducked.

Ron looked at Ginny and she was shivering in the water. "Aren't you going to duck?" he said to her as she started to move a little.

"No, not yet-t-t-t-t anyway", she said shivering.

Ron laughed at her....that is until he got in the water. They were right it was cold. He thought he saw ice forming at the top of the pool. He touched it. "It's ice! In July!" Ron cried.

He looked back at Harry. Harry was pointing his wand at the pool. "You little....." Ron said jumping out of the pool.

Harry laughed and started running. "I thought you wanted to cool down?"

Harry winked and Ron punched him in the arm.

Hermione looked at them and giggled. "My gawd guys you really need to grow up!"

Ron crossed his arms and frowned, "I don't wanna," he said. Then he let a grin slip on his face.

Hermione rolled her eyes but kept on smiling.

"Well now that Harry has stopped messing around do you all want to actually go in the pool?" Ginny said with a smile.

"Yeah I guess so" Harry said he looked around just to make sure that no one had their wand.

Ron put up his hands "Harry man just get in, I promise I won't freeze the water." Harry nodded and stepped in. He took a few steps and ducked.

When he came up he was blue from the cold. "Y-y-y-you p-p-p-promised!" he said pointing his finger at Ron.

"Hey dude I didn't do it!"

Ginny giggled. "You!" Harry shouted at her.

He chased her all around the pool. Then he caught her he grabbed a hold of her head and pushed her under. "Harry" Ginny spluttered "stop it!!" They both laughed.

Hermione and Ron laughed too.

They were still splashing around when Hermione swam over to Ron.

He looked deep into her brown eyes. He could just barely keep hold of reality. Her presence was enchanting. It seemed to be showing on her face because she had a puzzled look on her face

"Ron why are you looking at me like that?"

"What? Oh sorry" Ron said shaking off the feeling.

She smiled at him. "Ron do you like me?" She said quietly.

"Well yeah Hermione of course I like you" Ron said looking at her big brown eyes.

"Not like a friend Ron do you really like me?"

"Well umm..." Ron said looking for words.

"You can tell me because I like you Ron and I hope you like me in return."

"Well...." Ron said "yeah I do. I like you and I've liked you since forever Hermione."

"Then prove it to me!"

They got closer and closer. All Ron could hear now is Hermione's breathing.

They were millimeters apart. Then their lips touched.

For a minute everything stopped.

Harry and Ginny could no longer be heard splashing around.

When they parted Hermione had a big smile on her face. Ron did too.

"Thanks for that" Ron said with a twinkle in his eye.

"You're very welcome" Hermione said.

"Hey over there what are you guys up to?" Harry said from the other side of the pool.

"Nothing really...." Ron said.

"Ok because I'm feeling some kind of vibe between you two."

Mrs. Weasly walked out into the yard. "Ok ladies and gentlemen it's time for supper"

"Ok Mom thanks a lot" Ginny yelled.

"Yeah we'll be out in a minute" Ron yelled after his sister.

Ron took one last glance at Hermione and jumped out of the pool. Then an owl swooped in and it was addressed to him........
