Ron lay flat on his stomach, looking at his photo album. It had pictures of all his friends and family. As he looked, he thought about Hermione. Her long, still bushy brown hair. Her large cinnamon eyes and freckles on her nose. Her way of color coding his schedule even after he told her he didn't want her to. Her voice, usually hushed, like she was still in the library. The fact that she sounded so condescending whenever she spoke to him. The fact that she would rather read a book than talk to him and always lectured him whenever he broke a rule and complained about the tests. Ah Hermione. He missed her. But he did not fancy her! No matter what Harry said, he did not fancy the only girl that treated him like he wasn't a poor pureblood wizard. No sirree bob.

Of course, Harry had Ginny now, which he supposed was good, because even though Dean was a real nice bloke, Harry was better. And totally devoted, he was wrapped around her dainty little finger. Since then though, he had felt a bit on the outside, and spent more time with Hermione to get away from their lovey-doveyness†and Luna.

Luna was odd. She liked to hang around him, for reasons unknown, but while Hermione treated him as a friend, Luna treated him as an animal in a zoo. This freaked him out.

Still, Hermione, infuriating as she was, did seem to draw him to her like a moth to a flame. He had always put it down to her leadership and the fact that he was a follower, not a leader. Looking down at a picture of her that Collin took at the Yule Ball with Krum, which was now just Hermione; Krum being ripped off when Ron had received the picture, Ron smiled. She looked so graceful in her blue robes, like she was floating. She smiled and waved up at him, blushing slightly as Krum's hand, the only bit of him left, pulled her closer. With a growl, Ron slammed the book shut and stomped downstairs for dinner. He wasn't jealous thoughâ€was he?

Sooooâ€what do you think? It's just Ron denying the truth. Silly Ronald. Hehe. I put in a bit of Luna as you noticed, it was interesting that she always seemed to hang around our youngest (male) Weasley in OotP. The contest is still on! What should Hermione's admirer be called?
