Disclaimer: This is not my book, I am not the author and I understand that the characters are copyrighted and that I am just a simple teenaged girl with a pathetic little life just trying to make my way in this big world as a fantasy novelist. AGH!!! I can't even get myself to shut up!

Ron watched his little sister run from the room and nudged Harry in the side, "Where do you think she's off to? She doesn't have Herbology for another hour yet."

"Dunno," said Harry as he took a bite of oatmeal.

Hermione got up at that moment and grabbed her books, "I'm going to the library, can never start studying too early! See you in Transfiguration!" She waved to Harry and Ron, "It was fun to see you again Heather." Then she strode off towards the library.

The only thing Ron wanted to do at that moment was to chase after Hermione and tell her that he would carry her books for her when he realized that she would then think that he was desperately in love with her. Well, maybe she wouldn't think that he was desperately in love with her, but she would know that something was going on. So Ron sat at breakfast with Heather and Harry, feeling rather awkward.

"Hey, Ron, are you feeling alright? You look a little flushed," Said Heather.

"Oh yeah, I'm fine," said Ron.

"You do look a little red," said Harry.

"I'm just...just a little..." A little in love with Hermione, no he couldn't say that! "I'm just a little sunburned." He spat out.

Harry looked as if he didn't believe him, "Alright, whatever you say."

"So, anything interesting happen to you over summer break?" asked Ron, he immediately regretted it, since Sirius had...well...disappeared, Harry really hadn't had a very good summer. Ron could see that Harry was depressed, he was always looking at photo albums of his family with Sirius. And he had been very quiet.

"Uh, Harry. I was thinking of trying out for a beater position on the quidditch team. What do you think?" said Ron.

Harry seemed to brighten, "That would be great. I'm seeker again, Professor McGonagall told me this morning. Maybe I should talk to Ginny...maybe she left so suddenly because she's not the Gryffindor seeker anymore."

"Dunno, but she was acting pretty strange," said Ron, "Now that I think about it, she didn't even eat any breakfast. Wonder what's wrong."

"I'm sure it's nothing," both Harry and Ron jumped, they had forgotten that Heather was there. Maybe I should leave, thought Ron, that would give Harry a chance to get to flirt with this girl and get his mind off of Sirius. Not to mention give me time to find Hermione.

"I have to use the bathroom. See you guys in Herbology!" said Ron as he stood up.

"But we still have 45 minutes before Transfiguration! You can't tell me that you'll be in the bathroom that long!" said Harry.

"Mum forgot to pack my transfiguration book, I've got to check one out from the library too," said Ron, which wasn't a lie. He had grabbed, Tales of an Anonymous Squib, the novel his mother had been reading, off the counter because they were running late for the Hogwarts Express and it looked rather like his Transfiguration book.

"Alright, see you later," said Harry.

Ron went strait to the library, in hopes of finding Hermione, and maybe even a copy of the Transfiguration book he needed. As he walked down the hall he couldn't help but wonder what he would say to her. They had always felt a little awkward together since he had given her a little kiss in the astronomy tower. But, he had just eaten 17 chocolate frogs and drank 6 Butter Beers, so maybe she thought that he had just feeling a little out of it and done something stupid.

Well, it didn't really matter now did it? He couldn't take it back, and there was nothing he could do about it. And now he was heading towards the library to attempt to flirt with Hermione Granger, possible future Valid Victorian and his beast friend for six years. He swallowed and walked into the library.

So...it's coming along ok right? R&R please! I need more ideas! If you review I'll...I'll...I'll say thank you and be very nice and update this for you. Okay? Alright...sorry but the threats work pretty well for getting me reviews so:

Ron: You wouldn't...

Harry: (applies lip gloss and makes a kissy face at Ron)

Ron: HELP!!!
