And Now. onto the show!
Hermione awoke the next morning bright and early. She stretched and sat up. The memories of last night came flooding back into her head. Today she would have to talk to Ron about what happened last night. Hopefully he would understand her reasons.
She quickly got dressed and used some of her spells to fix her hair. She didn't look as good as the day before, but she realized that it She opened the door to her room would have to do.
She opened her bedroom door and began to climb down the stairs. After taking her time she finally reached the bottom. She looked across the room to where Harry and Ron usually sat.
Her heart leapt out of her chest when she saw only Harry. She walked across the room to where Harry was standing. "Where's Ron?"
"He's still getting ready." Hermione thought for a minute. She wondered why Ron would still be getting ready. He was always the first to be done. He always wanted to be the first person into the Great Hall for breakfast. "There he is." Hermione looked up at the staircase. With a sharp intake of breath, she closed her eyes.
Ginny woke up and stretched out. She looked over at her clock. She climbed out of bed, and tripped over something on the floor. With a scream she hit her chin on the floor with a loud crack. Moaning she flipped over onto her back.
After a few minutes she crawled up off the floor, rubbing her chin fiercely. She looked down at the floor to see what she tripped over. It was Hermione's book. She picked it up and flipped through the pages. Finding the page she had book marked the night before, she shook her head and closed the book.
Her idea was stupid. She couldn't and wouldn't do that! Even if she was angry with Harry, all he would have to do is smile and her vengeful plot would be ruined. She sighed and put the book back down. At least it felt good to finally be angry with someone.
She went to the bathroom as her roommates pushed past her. She shrugged her shoulders. It was good to be happy at again. She didn't mind being pushed around that morning. At least she got to kiss Harry. How many people can actually say they made out with their crush? Not Many! Ginny thought as she used her foot to shut the door behind her.
After taking her shower and getting dressed Ginny, walked towards her door. Glancing back at the book on her bed. She walked over to the book. "It wouldn't hurt just to use one spell. Just a little one. Like one that Hermione would use."
She recited a beginners spell and her face was covered with light make-up. It was nothing too heavy. Satisfied she closed the book, and tucked it under her pillow.
She walked to the door and opened it.
Hermione reopened her eyes and saw Ron walking down the stairs. He looked like a mess. His hair was all over the place, like Harry's usually was. He also had dark circles under his eyes. He tripped over the last step.
"Woah! Ron you look rough! What time did you get to sleep?" Seamus said walking across the room.
"I don't know. It was real late. I just couldn't get to sleep." He glanced over at Hermione and she looked away guiltily.
"Well, let's go." Harry said.
"We have to wait for Gin." Hermione said.
"I'm here!" Ginny said walking up behind the group. Hermione turned around.
"Looking good, Ginny!" Hermione smiled at her younger friend. "Well, let's go."
Harry and Seamus walked in front of the girls and Ron followed behind them slowly. Ginny and Hermione walked behind the boys.
"Ginny. You look really cute. You made Harry really uncomfortable in there."
"Really?"
"Yeah. If you don't mind me asking.why are you so mad at him?"
"I was. It's silly really. After you and Ron left for detention, Harry and I ended up."
"Kissing. Yeah, I know. But why were you mad?"
"Because, I heard Harry promise Ron he'd leave me alone."
"That's what I thought. If it makes you feel any better, he doesn't want to leave you alone."
"What? How do you know?"
"I've already said too much. You'll just have to wait!" She looked out the corner of her eye at Ginny. A big smile was plastered to her face.
Ginny walked for a few minutes before turning to her friend. "What's up with, Ron?"
"You don't want to know."
"Yes, I do."
"Believe me. You REALLY don't."
Ginny looked at her brother, who was practically dragging his knuckles on the ground. "I REALLY do!"
"Fine. Don't say I didn't warn you. Last night Ron and I started something and I kind of walked out on it. I don't think he got too much sleep after that."
Ginny nodded her head; not understanding what Hermione was talking about. Then it came to her. She stopped walking and turned her friend. "EEEEWWWWWW!! EWWW! Why did you."
Hermione clapped her hand over Ginny's mouth as people stopped walking to see what the commotion was all about. Ron, Harry, and Seamus turned. She looked at Ginny and let her hand go.
Everyone turned from the two girls and went back to what they were doing. "Hermione! Why did you tell me that? GROSS! First, I walk in on Percy and Penelope kissing, and now you tell me THIS!?"
"I told you, you didn't want to hear about it!!"
"Next time, I'll listen."
After breakfast, Hermione hurried back to her room to get her potions books. She had to hurry. Ron took an especially long time walking back to Gryffindor. They didn't have long to get to class. And if they were late, Snape would raise hell!
She grabbed her books, and threw them into her bag. She ran down the stairs, where Harry and Ron were already waiting for her.
They hurried out the door, and down to the dungeons. They arrived just in time to take their seats and watch Snape enter the room.
"Today, we will be starting on levitating potion. Open your books to page 897. And take notes."
Hermione sat between Harry and Ron, who hadn't spoken to her all morning. His head lay in his folded arms and he was snoring softly.
Hermione had tried to wake him up by nudging him. He would only wake up long enough to push her elbow off the table. She came to the conclusion that he was mad at her. She didn't know if she should even bother telling him her reasons.
And she had no one to talk to about it either. She couldn't go to Harry; she didn't want to talk with him about it. That would be too embarrassing. She shouldn't tell Ginny, Ginny would just get mad.and nauseous. And she WOULDN'T talk to Lavender and Parvati about it. She was in no mood to listen to their squealing and screeching.
"Well. Mr Weasley." Snape walked by and poked Ron with the end of his wand. "Seems like someone thinks he's too good to listen."
Ron sat up in his seat, as the Slytherins laughed. His face turned red, and he looked to his two friends for help. "Professor. It was my fault! I made Ron stay up all night!" Hermione blurted out.
"Oh. Miss Granger! Care to explain your outburst?" Hermione bit her lip as Ron looked at her. She couldn't tell everyone that she initiated sexual intercourse with Ron.
"Well.um.you see, last night I made Ron come with me down to the library. I wanted to sneak a book out of the restricted section. He got lost on the way back and didn't get back until it was late. He warned that we would get in trouble, but I wouldn't listen. I don't want to get him into trouble for something that was my fault."
"Very well Granger. I'm impressed with your ability to lie. However, I will be taking 20 points for lying, 5 for your little outburst, and another 25 for trying to sneak into the restricted section of the library. That's 50 points."
Hermione looked down at her hands, and Ron looked over at her. She saw him mouth thanks, before turning back to his book. She smiled to herself. 50 points from Gryffindor was worth Ron not being mad at her.
The rest of the class was uneventful, and Hermione was glad when it was over. She put her things into her bag and walked towards the door with her friends. "Sorry about that guys. I know it took away a lot of points."
"That's okay. It's better than anyone knowing what really happened. " Harry said smiling at his two friends.
"You told him?!"
"You told Ginny!"
"I did no such thing!"
"Oh really? Then what was she screaming about in the hallway this morning?"
"That's really none of your business."
"See. You did tell her."
"Fine. I'll just tell Lavender and Parvati since you seem to want the whole school to know!"
"You wouldn't! I only told Harry. He's our best friend. He would've found out sooner or later. Besides, you told Ginny!"
"So, who is she gonna tell? Harry? He already knows Ron!" She said tapping his forehead.
"What if she tells my mum?"
"She won't! She hasn't told her about Percy and Penelope kissing!"
Ron growled. He lost the argument. Like always.
At the end of the day, the three friends sat by the fire doing their homework. Hermione as usual was doing her work as Ron and Harry whispered about something.
"Are you boys going to work at all tonight or are you just going to sit around?"
"Sit around." They both said.
Hermione shook her head and turned back to her work. She wondered how they kept passing if all they ever did was talk when they were suppose to be doing their work.
Harry faked a yawn and stretched his arms out. "Well, I'm going to head to bed."
"Harry! You haven't even done your work yet!"
"I know. Goodnight Ron and Hermione!"
Hermione watched as Harry climbed the stairs. She looked around the common room. It was fairly empty, and the people that were there were minding their own business.
"Hermione. I think we need to talk." Ron said looking at her.
She closed her book and looked up at him. "About what?" She knew what he wanted to talk about.
"You know," he lowered his voice and leaned closer, "last night."
"Oh. I see."
"What happened? Did I do something wrong?"
Hermione smiled. She knew he would think he did something wrong. She placed her hand over his, and brushed a piece of hair away from his face. "No, it wasn't you, Ron. I didn't want you to think that. I knew you would though."
"If it was anyone's fault, it was mine. I should've said something to you instead of just leaving you there last night." She said.
"I just want to know what happened." Ron said.
Hermione took a breath. "I just got scared, I guess. I didn't want to get into anything I couldn't handle. And this is something that I know I can't handle. There's just so much to worry about. I have my schoolwork to handle. And the prefect meetings. And I'm just so worried about my O.W.L.S. I know that's a long time from now, but I still worry.
"I can't be worrying about being pregnant. I know you'd be careful, but sometimes careful just isn't enough. And I don't want to get to emotionally attached, just to end up getting hurt."
Ron looked at her. "'Mione, you know I would never hurt you."
"Not on purpose. But, I'm still scared. We have such a good thing, and I don't think I'm ready for something like that."
Ron nodded his head, "Let me know when you are."
Hermione smiled and leaned across to hug him. She wrapped her arms tightly around his neck, while his arms wrapped around her waist. "I will. Thank you for understanding."
Ron leaned down and kissed Hermione's lips. "AWWWWWWWWWW!" The two looked up to see the entire common room staring at them.
"Oooooh!" Lavender screeched, "It's about time!"
"Pay up Fred. Told you it was going to happen this month!" George put out his hand.
"Why couldn't you two wait until next week?!" Fred said putting a galleon into George's hand.
"So is that why you're so tired Ron? Hermione and you stayed up snogging the whole night?" Seamus asked.
"I'm going to choose not to answer your question." Ron said as he turned back to Hermione.
Hermione remembered something, "Last night when you were sleeping, you had a big smile on your face. What were you dreaming about?"
Ron thought for a minute. Uh oh. His famous Hermione sex dreams again. "I was dreaming about you." There he didn't lie, but he didn't have to tell her what he was dreaming about her.
She smiled. "Could you do me a favor?" He asked pushing two papers towards her.
"Ron, just because we're dating now, doesn't mean I'm going to do your work." She looked at him. Puppy eyes. He was giving her puppy eyes. "Fine."
"Thanks," he leaned down and planted a kiss on her cheek; "I'm going to bed now. I'm bushed!"
Hermione took the papers and looked at them. Both Ron and Harry's. "Don't forget Harry's!" He called from the top of the stairs. By the time she started to protest the door was shut.
Hermione finally finished her two friends' homework. She folded the parchment into both of their books. She smiled. That was the only time that was going to happen.
She picked up the books and climbed the stairs to the boys' dormitories. She opened the door and entered the dark room. When her eyes finally adjusted she made her way around the room.
Finding Harry's bed first she put his book in his night stand drawer. She started to walk across the room, looking for Ron's bed.
She finally came to it and opened his nightstand drawer. She looked down into the drawer at something that caught her eye. It was a picture of Ron and her last year at a Quidditch game. Ron's arm was around her shoulder and her head was leaning on his shoulder. Fred and George were behind them making faces. Colin Creevy took it.
She smiled and placed the picture and his book in the drawer. She slowly shut it and turned to leave the room. She turned around again and walked towards Ron. She leaned over and kissed his sleeping lips. "Goodnight, Ron."
"Goodnight, 'Mione." He whispered in his sleep.
She smiled and tiptoed out of his room, before making her way back to her own.
PHEW! GOOD.NOT GOOD? TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK, AND IF I SHOULD CONTINUE.I'M NOT SURE I'M GOING TO ANYMORE. AND THAT COULD MAKE A GOOD ENDING, RIGHT? WELL, YOU GUYS NEED TO TELL ME IF YOU'RE STILL LIKING IT OR NOT!
