Ron ran a hand through his hair. "But... what if she says no?"

"Ron, I've known Hermione for seven years, just as long as you have. She's bound to say yes; I know it!" Harry reassured him.

Ron took a deep breath. "Are you sure?"

"Positive," Harry replied firmly.

Ron gripped his long, flaming hair tightly and let out a frustrated sigh. "I'm bloody nervous, Harry!"

FLASH

Every time we lie awake
After every hit we take
Every feeling that I get
But I haven't missed you yet

"Er... Hermione?" Ron stopped her.

Hermione turned around, her hair whipping along with her. "Yes, Ron?"

"Er-," He made an odd choking sound. But he couldn't stop now.

"Ron?" Hermione asked, concerned. "Are you okay?"

"Hermione, do you wanna go to Hogsmeade with me this weekend? Ya know... like, a date?"

Every roommate kept awake
By every sigh and scream we make
All the feelings that I get
But I still don't miss you yet

Hermione instantly blushed. "Sure, Ron..."

FLASH

Ginny looked from one to the other, grinning. "Well, it's about time!"

Hermione was confused. "What do you mean, Ginny?"

Ginny said, exasperatedly. "You two have been at each other's throats ever since you met each other. Everyone knew that you really liked each other."

The couple blushed.

FLASH

Only when I stop to think about it
I hate everything about you
Why do I love you?
I hate everything about you
Why do I love you?

Have you ever hated someone so much, that you couldn't live without them?

"Hermione, wait!" Ron cried as Hermione tried to escape to her dormitory.

"What, Ronald!?" She yelled at him as she spun around angrily.

"Why... I-I didn't mean to!" He moaned.

Hermione rolled her eyes. "Yes you did! I heard you! Of course you meant it!"

FLASH

"Just STAY AWAY from me!" She shrieked.

FLASH

Every time we lie awake
After every hit we take
Every feeling that I get
But I haven't missed you yet

These two people feel that way.

Harry stopped them, and asked furiously, "What's wrong with you two?"

"Ask her," Ron growled, pointing threateningly at Hermione.

"No, ask him!" Hermione yelled.

FLASH

Only when I stop to think about it
I hate everything about you
Why do I love you?
I hate everything about you
Why do I love you?

"Ron, I HATE YOU!" Hermione shrieked from the top of the staircase.

"I HATE YOU TOO!" Ron yelled at her.

Quite suddenly, the ground began to shake.

FLASH

And these people are about to have the shock of a lifetime.

"Hermione, are you okay?" Ron ran towards her as she sat up slowly.

"Yeah... Ron, where are we?" She looked around. She noticed that they were at Hogwarts, but... it looked... different, somehow.

FLASH

Only when I stop to think
About you, I know
Only when you stop to think
About me, do you know

"Ron, stop!" Hermione hissed, and pulled him into the shadows. "This is just like traveling with a Time Turner! We must not be seen!"

FLASH

"Oh... oh, my God Ron..." Hermione whispered, grabbing his arm. "I know where we are..."

FLASH

"Hermione," Ron said abruptly, spinning around to face her. "Where are we? What happened to us?"

"I-I think I know..." Hermione breathed, staring deep into his face. "And I know how it happened as well."

FLASH

I hate everything about you
Why do I love you?
You hate everything about me
Why do you love me?

Gripping tightly onto each other, the couple ran up the stairs as a blast blew open the door from behind them.

I hate
You hate
I hate
You love me

FLASH

"Ron..." Hermione said softly, her honey eyes shining. "Do you believe that everything happens for a reason?"

Ron tucked a piece of her drenched hair behind her ear. Without hesitation, he answered, "Absolutely."

I hate everything about you
Why do I love you?
