A/N: WOW!!! I am so happy that I have received so many reviews. Thank you all. This will definitely be a story that I will keep around.

ThinkingOfAName: I am so glad that you have put this story on your favorite's list. I will keep you updated on all of my chapters.

Esrb99: I really did try to look for your stories. But I couldn't find it. Do you think you can tell me where it is because I don't know where to look. Like is it under Ron and Hermione's name, under romance, G-PG? Because that was where I was looking. But if you can tell me where I can locate it, then I will do it. And thanks again for reviewing. You're a real pal.

Lady-Mearle: I agree with the whole Ron and Hermione thing. I mean who else would be perfect for Hermione? It would definitely have to be a slacker, and Ron is that slacker. It works! Like Harry and Hermione just don't match up. It would be too obvious and you know how JK could be. She's not like that. Like this girl at my school is completely obsessed with Harry Potter and she thinks its going to be Harry and Hermione together. Obviously the people who believes this aren't real fans. They should know by now what going on.

InsanityOfTheOwl: I won't delete this story since you begged me not to. And because I thought that this story was a particularly good idea and I would be upset if people didn't review because almost nobody reviewed my last story, so it made me lose hope.

SisterBear: Thanks for the fantastic advice. It really does help. It makes me feel more motivated. Like my bestfriend kept telling me the same thing that you just did. But I don't really listen. However, I will make a special effort to listen to your needs.

I love you all! Without further ado! I present to you the next chapter of A Hogwarts Christmas Carol.

Chapter 2: A warning

Tossing and turning was all that Ron did that night. He couldn't sleep because of the fib that he had told Harry. In a way he felt incredibly guilty. But that was his own business and not anybody else's, especially Harry. He, Harry had no right to bud into it. And what was that whole issue with Hermione? Did she like him? Or is just because she's keeping something from him?

Either way he didn't really like it. Besides, Hermione would never like him. She couldn't! Who would ever want to fall for a tall lanky guy with freckles, red hair, and to poor to practically stay alive? And he didn't like Hermione! Everything about her practically made him crazy. Such as the way she would sit by the fire and do her homework, how the light from it made her hair glow as if it was in the sun, how she was always wrapping her hair in her tiny perfect finger. Of course he didn't like her. Why would he even consider that?

Lost in his own thoughts about his 'friendly' feeling for his best friend he fell asleep. But at the stroke of midnight who knows what will happen? Obviously he didn't

Somewhere in the school a clock chimed about twelve times. Ron bolted up wondering where that bloody clock was and if he would get into trouble, when suddenly a wind blew into the room. A cold Ron went to the window to close it only to find that it was never opened. Now he was starting to panick.

Wind has never blown into a room like that, unless it was open. But for some reason it wasn't. Ron just shook his head and started to head back to his bed when he came face to face with… Sirius?

Now this was really bizarre! How could Sirius be a ghost when he's dead?

Ron almost screamed when Sirius said, "SSSSHHHH!" He motioned for Ron to sit back down on his bed. Ron did so and looked around the room to see if the other four sleepers had woken up. They hadn't. Dean, Seamus, Neville, and Harry were all sleeping soundly (unless you count Neville's snores), which Ron had wished that he could do right about now.

"Ron? You need to understand something. That you will receive three Christmas ghosts that will guide you to the right path." Replied Sirius giving Ron that grin. However, Ron folded his arms and scowled. "You must understand a few things—"

"What is there that I need to understand? I am perfectly happy about my life." Ron cut in interrupting Sirius.

Sirius took a deep breath and continued, "first of all you're in denial and everybody knows it. Second of all Hermione needs to know exactly what you feel for her. And lastly, those P.J.'s would look better on your younger brother if you ever had one." Added Sirius eyeing Ron's to small paisley pajamas.

Ron just look even more infuriated with the last comment and said, "can we please focus on me? Now… what were you going to say?"

"Oh right!" Said Sirius snapping back to reality and with what needed to be dealt with. "I have come to deliver you a warning. There will be three ghosts that will be visiting you. The first one will come at one o'clock, and this spirit is the ghost of Christmas past. The second ghost will be visiting you at two o'clock, and this spirit is the ghost of the present Christmas. And the last ghost will be arriving at three o'clock sharp. This spirit is however the ghost of Christmas… yet to come." Ron just looked at him in awe.

"Do you really think that I would fall for all this rubbish?" Asked Ron not taking in a word that the ghost of Sirius Black said.

"Well, we'll just have to see about that now, won't we?" Sirius responded leaving with a small pop.

Ron just shook his head and fell back onto his pillow falling asleep once more. But, for how long? Only the rubbish ghosts would know. And so would Ron if he were actually listening.

A/N: Well there you have it. I hope you all have enjoyed this chapter. Ignore the lame funny sdtuff I put in there. That was only to spice it up a bit. Please Review!!!
