Harry and Ron waited anxiously in their room, for the arrival of Hermione. Over the years each boy had had their small crushes on her, but truth be told she had changed a lot over the years, and now all Ron could do was talk about her.

"Harry do you think my hair looks OK?"

"It looks fine…"

"Are you sure because it doesn't to be sitting right and I think I need more gel-"

" STOP! NO MORE GEL! Ron you've used at least half of the container, and it was full this morning! Take a deep breath and just calm the hell down! YOU'RE DRIVING ME UP THE GOD DAMNED WALL!"

This had been going on for most of the day and Harry was about to explode, there was no doubt in his mind that Ron's look wouldn't matter to Mione, but Ron was a nervous wreck. Just as Ron was going to retort they heard a door open downstairs. Ron jumped to his feet, looked in the mirror one more time, and slowly ran down the stairs (AN: This is possible trust me!)

Once in the kitchen Hermione sat down and tried to relax, using port keys always made her real sick. Before she could really relax there was a familiar sound of running in the hallway that could only belong to two people.

"MIONE! Its great to see you!"

She got up and embraced Harry, he hadn't changed much since the last time she had saw him, but he seemed to have finally grown to his full height, which was at least six inches taller than her. Behind him stood Ron, and she noticed that he might have actually taken time to think about what he was wearing, which for Ron, is a miracle. She also noticed that he had brushed, and gelled his hair.

"He-ey Mione, how h-a-as your summer been?"

"Oh its been ok…I guess…um.. Ron do u think you have a enough gel? You're beginning to remind me a bit of Malfoy."

"Told ya" whispered Harry in the background.

Ron's cheeks grew redder than his hair and he mumbled something about taking a shower and left.

Hermione silently sat down and Harry took the seat next to her.

"I told him, his been a right pain in the ass all day. Been real excited about you coming."

"Really y?"

"Mione of all people I thought you would be the first to pick it out I mean you're the smartest and-"

"Wait you mean-!"

Harry replied a huge grin sprawled on his face. Oh gods no, thought Hermione.

" Well Harry I'm a bit tired from the trip I think I'll take nap before dinner, see you."

With that Hermione ran up the stairs to her and Ginny's room, and luckily Ginny wasn't there.

Dear Diary,

Oh now, now what? This is going to make things ten times harder! RON LIKES ME! I've always had a bit of a crush on him, but what am I going to do? I figured they would both be upset about the news and this just makes it about ten times worse! I have no choice but to go, I already sent the form, I'll have to tell then soon, but not tonight, tomorrow for sure. I'm so scared, maybe a good night sleep will do the trick….

As Hermione falls into a deep sleep, she doesn't get the great rest she has bargained for!
