"Alright, seeya later then Harry." Ron said, waving.
He turned back to Hermione, "He seems alright yeah?" He said, a hint of doubt in his voice. He heard Hermione sigh;
"Honestly Ron, if you were any more blind you'd be able to see!" She said hands raised in defeat and stalked off.
"Wha...? I...?" he called feebly, not really interested in starting an argument again.
"Nuts she is that one..." he said allowed to no one in particular. He swept his long hair off his face and shoved his hands in his pockets. Mrs. Weasley was always at him for his long hair, but he liked it, it hid his face.
He watched the sun slowly fade and started trudging back up to the castle, he could see Harry making his way up from Hagrid's, and Hermione going through the doors with Ginny, and there was Draco following very close behind them, what was he doing? When it came to Malfoy, there was not a single fiber of his being that trusted him as far as he could throw him. Ron crept up behind him.
"What you doing Malfoy?" He asked viciously.
He laughed inwardly as Malfoy jumped. Yeah tough on the outside, cowardly on the inside aren't you Malfoy.

"T..That's none of your business Weasel, now if you'll EXCUSE me, i've got places to be and friends to see, unlike you obviously."

Ron jumped out of the way as Malfoy swept past him, what's up with him? He thought. He followed behind Hermione and Ginny up the stairs, every so often catching a bit of their conversation. Pfft, girls he thought they're so bloody hard to understand, and just when you think you've got them figured out they go and do something completely and utterly insane all over again. But what was that smell? It was sweet, fruity, almost like passion fruit.

"Ron?....Ronald?"
"Huh What?" He said, coming out of his daze, Hermione was standing right in front of him, and he could see Harry laughing off to one side. He felt his ears grow red.
"Uh, Ron? You were sniffing my hair, is there something wrong with it?" Hermione asked graciously

He felt the blush from his ears travel to his face and neck..."oh I uh...what class have we got first tomorrow?" he stammered, changing the subject.

"Potions" Hermione and Harry said at once.
They all groaned, and Ron watched as Hermione turned, her hair flicking past his face, the sweet smell filling his nose once again.
"See you tomorrow" she cried, walking into the girls dorms.

"Night" He and Harry answered in unison.

"Idiot!" Harry said laughing at him, "if you made it anymore obvious..." his voice trailing off upstairs.

"If I made what anymore obvious?" Ron wondered aloud
