Chapter 2: Accidentally kissing you
Ron needed to talk to her, he needed to know why had it happened, why had she suddenly kissed him. He thought of staying in the common room so she wouldn't escape from him in the morning. He didn't know why, but he was sure she would either leave the common room very early in the morning so she wouldn't be confronted by him, or she would act as if nothing out of the ordinary had happened the night before.
At the end, he decided to go to bed and wake up very early, but by the time he got up there were already some students in the common room. He sat on one of the arm chairs and didn't move his eyes away from the girl's room's entrance. But she never came down.
Harry was with him now, trying to convince him to go and have some breakfast.
"I can't. I'm waiting for Hermione."
Harry sighed in exasperation. "When are the two of you going to stop arguing? You're driving me crazy! It's all you do lately!"
"I'm not gonna fight with her, ok? I just... need to ask her something."
"Fine. Do as you please," said Harry and took off to the Great Hall.
Ten minutes later, Ginny came down.
"Hey, Ron."
"Ginny!" he said standing up on a heart-beat, "Have you seen Hermione?" he asked his sister anxiously.
"No..." she answered, staring at her big brother as if he were crazy.
"Would you go and see if she's up there?" he pleaded.
"Ok, ok. I'll be right down." Ginny went up stairs and came down 5 minutes later. "She's not up there. But Lavander told me she went... to the library, really early. She's... probably, uhm, having breakfast. Come on," she said dragging him out of the common room.
Hermione wasn't in the Great Hall, and then he suddenly found it funny how his sister had drag him away from the Gryffindor tower with such a hurry to find Hermione.
He was hopeful he would find her outside Snape's dungeon, ready for a double Potion lesson. But she wasn't there; she arrived five minutes after Snape had closed the dungeon's door, receiving a few comments about irresponsibility from the Professor, who took twenty points from Gryffindor and said next time he would give her detention.
Hermione sat far away from Ron and Harry, which annoyed Ron as she had never done that, not even when they were furious with each other and weren't talking at all.
He thought he would be able to catch her at the end of the lesson, but somehow she managed to snick away from him.
He wasn't annoyed by her attitude anymore, he was angry now. She was acting like such a child; he couldn't believe this girl was the Hermione he knew and loved... oh... crap!
Harry also noticed this. If Hermione was angry at Ron, she would just ignore him, not avoid him. He asked his friend what was the problem between the two of them, but Ron just claimed there was no problem at all.
The sun was hiding behind the horizon, the day was slipping away and darkness was falling over the grounds.
This had been a very emotional, exhausting day for Ron; he had gone from a state of anxiety to annoyance, anger, disappointment, and, finally, depression. He was sitting next to Harry on the Gryffindor table. He wasn't eating anything; he had a blank stare and was playing with his food, not aware of what he was doing.
"Ron!" someone yelled at him. Neville was waving his hand in front of Ron's face.
"What?" said Ron, confused.
"Are you all right?"
"Yeah, fine," he answered vaguely.
"Apparently, he doesn't want to talk about it," said Harry, annoyed by the fact that Ron wasn't sharing his thoughts with him, "he had a fight with Hermione."
"Oh, what else is new?" Neville joked.
"I did not had a fight with Hermione!"
Ron looked around his fellow students eating with no preoccupation other than what to do this summer after the finals, OWLs or NEWTs. Lucky them, Ron thought wishing he could be doing the same, instead of thinking of Hermione all the bloody time.
He suddenly lay his eyes upon a hand at the other end of the table, which was stretching itself to grave a slide of bread. He knew that bracelet that hang from the hand's wrist. It was a beautiful pale pink pearls bracelet he had given Hermione last Christmas.
He stood up abruptly and walked straight to her. But she spotted him before he could reach her and left the table in a rush. Ron run after her.
"Hermione!" he yelled as they stepped into a hallway. She wasn't slowing down, so he passed her and stopped in front of her.
"Ron, move," she said in a calmed voice, not brave enough to look at him on the eyes.
"I won't. I need to talk to you. I've been chasing you all over the bloody school all day and I won't let you go now," he said angry.
"Ron..." she said again, pleading with watery eyes.
"I need to know why..." he hesitated a moment; he felt so weird saying this words to Hermione, "... why did you... kissed me?"
Hermione hid her face behind her hands in embarrassment. "Please, Ron, just let it go, ok?" she said, pleading again, still behind her hands.
"What? How can I do that? Why would I do that?"
"Because..." she said now leaving her hiding place and looking at his eyes, though that bravery was just fake, "... because it was a mistake, ok. I wasn't thinking. It was an accident!"
"How could you accidentally kiss me? I don't think that's even possible!"
Hermione looked as if she was trying to come up with something to say. Another excuse.
"Hermione," he said this time softly and lovingly, "I need to know. Why did you kiss me?"
The look on her face told Ron she wasn't going to answer. He felt like such a fool thinking that there might have been a secret reason why Hermione had kissed him. He was about to turn around, make a dramatic exit, when she spoke.
"I... I don't know. I just... did it."
