A/N: Okay in the old version of this chapter Ron seemed to have a vocabulary of a 50 year old so here's a more realistic view.

Chapter 2: The Confrontation

Harry started to get ready for bed again since it four in the morning, and then heard a muffled voice, 'Hey Harry?' he recognised that it was Ron speaking. 'What is it?' Harry said a little irritably for it was quite late.

'What are you doing so late at night?' Ron asked curiously.

'Umm- I just went to get glass water and then I saw Hermione asleep on the couch with a book in her hands, she probably was reading it and dozed off I think…' Harry answered hesitantly.

'Oh, right.' Ron said disconsolately.

'Well, night Ron.' Harry said and disappeared under sheets on his bed.

'That was weird; something must've happened between those two.' Ron thought.

The next day Harry went down to breakfast noticed Hermione who was stuck in a book 'again'. He thought for a moment that she was not like other girls (in a good way that is), other girls just gossip about boys and are really superficial (sluts); as to Hermione she would just keep her feelings to herself and express herself intelligently. And now as Harry thought more deeply about his best friend he noticed that she had grown into an extremely pretty young woman over the summer holidays (not to mention hot!). He shook himself out of his trance and decided to eat breakfast.

'Good morning Harry!' Hermione greeted rapturously peering over her book. 'Good morning.' Harry happily greeted unlike the night before. Ron answered 'Morning' as if it wasn't a 'good' morning. The whole day seemed a little different than any other normal day (but was there any 'normal' day at Hogwarts?). It seemed quite uncomfortable between the trio, Harry and Hermione had some awkward moments and Ron seemed rather cold and distant from the other two.

Ron walked moodily down the corridor in the afternoon because he was sent to find Harry to tell him about Quidditch practice. Suddenly he saw a glimpse of Harry with Hermione in the library.

'They've been a lot of time together today!' Ron muttered angrily. He walked in the library and went over to their table. 'Harry, we've got Quidditch practice.' said Ron. 'Oh-yeah, I forgot about that!' Harry chuckled sounding a lot like Neville. Ron rolled his eyes.

So Harry and Ron walked together towards the Quidditch pitch in an isolated silence.

As they turned the corner Ron decided to stop.

'What's the matter?' Harry asked with a puzzled look.

'What's the matter? Maybe I should be the one asking that question!' said Ron severely.

'What do you mean?' Harry asked in bewilderment.

'Well, last night you were acting so weird and wake up the next morning pretending that nothing's happened!' Ron bellowed in infuriation.

'And then you go around acting weirdly around Hermione as if you were flirting with her!' Ron continued with his face turning as red as his flaming hair.

'What are you talking about, nothing has happened between me and her and if something did why would you care!' Harry retorted his face going red as well. That hit a nerve. Ron just stared at Harry still very angrily and then he walked off nudging Harry with his shoulder, not saying a word.

'What the fuck was that?' muttered Harry furrowing his eyebrows.
