Chapter 2

Ron was sitting in the Gryffindor common room playing wizards' chess with Nearly Headless Nick. "Night to E5." "Hey no fare, you captured my queen. I need her."

"Well you should've seen that coming Nick. And you probably needed that for your next move that you could have made."

"Well I did have it in mind." Nearly Headless Nick and Ron laughed over there play and continued. Just then Harry ran into the common room with the door slamming shut behind him. "Ron! Ron! Ron!"

"What?"

"Oh, hello Sir Nicholas. How was you summer?"

"It was great, besides that the head came off when I played quidditch with the other house ghosts."

"It really ripped off? All the way?"

"It sure did."

"Wow." Harry and Ron said in unison.

"You know the funny part is, it didn't hurt one bit. Not even when they sowed it back together." Ron and Harry looked at each other like he was nuts or something but believed him. "Sir Nicholas, if you don't mind I would like to talk to Ron alone. We'll see you at dinner though."

"That's fine boys. I myself have to go help out the elf in the kitchen for dinner prepare. It's my shift this week, and some of those elves can't keep their damn mouth shut. Well its time. See you two at dinner."

"Sir Nicholas. Could you tell Dobby I said hi?"

"I sure can."

"Bye!" Ron waved good bye to Nick and looked back at Harry ready to talk about what ever he wanted to talk about. Nearly Headless Nick left the Gryffindor common Room and when down to the kitchen. "So, what exactly did you want to talk about?" He looked up at Harry and blushed around the ears again. "Why are you blushing?"

"I don't know? I was just thinking."

"About… Hermione?"

"No." He looked down at his shoes and back up at Harry. "Ok fine I was."

"You were? Wow, I was just joking around, but I guess it worked with you forking things out."

"Oh you suck."

"Thank you. But what I wanted to say was, I talk to Hermione today after they left the library."

"You talked to her? What did she say?"

"Well I asked her if she liked you because you were blushing and…"

"Wait you asked her if she liked me because I blushed? Harry, that doesn't make any sense at all. Not at all."

"Well she cleared the sentence up a little, well a lot but I told her that…"

"Wait, wait… you told her that I like her?"

"Sort of."

"Harry!"

"What! Look I'm sorry but I needed to tell her. There was this thing that I felt that told me to tell her, so I told her. And she seemed to take it well."

"So you're saying that she might, you know."

"Probably." Hermione and Stephany came into the common room and came to see Harry and Ron talking to each other. "Oh Harry Ron glad you're here. We need to ask you something." Stephany told them in a fast pacing tone of voice. "What you needa tell us?" Ron replied. "Well it's more Harry but oh I'll tell you anyway, its better then telling you tomorrow before potions."

"So… what is it?"

"Steph got tickets to the awesomest concert on earth! Even I would miss class for it and you know how I am with my homework, classes, and all that. Ugh! This is going to be so much fun!" Hermione smiled widely, so excited for the concert to come to her any minute. "What type of concert?"

"Well… an absolute awesome awesome concert! You wouldn't believe who's ganna be there! U2, Bryan Adams, Hanson, and Eminem."

"No way! U2! Aw man their awesome!"

"Each one of our favorite artist are there. You wanna come?"

"Just me or Ron too?"

"Of course Ron can come, one of his favorite artists is there too."

"Thank you Hermione. At least some people understand."

"What do you mean?" Hermione looked at him puzzled, realizing his ears turning red again. "Umm… Ron?"

"Yes Hermione?" She giggled of the red on his ears. Both not realizing that they were being watched by Harry and Stephany. "Hermione… I… I… like you." Harry laughed and looked at both Hermione and Ron. "This is too funny. If only Draco could see this." Harry glared over to Stephany, seeing that she wasn't smiling, laughing, or giggling at all. "What?" Harry glared at her, raising his hands up in the air with a questioned look on his face. "You bug me you khow that? I mean who cares if he likes Hermi, or if I like you. All that matters if you both like each other and apparently Ron and Hermi like each other."

"I think I miss under stood a part. You said that you liked me?"

"Let's not go there right now. But are you guys coming to the concert?"

"I'll go if Hermione's ok with it."

"Of course I'm ok with you coming. Ron you are the one who makes it all fun, besides the spider thing but, yea I want you to come!"

"Ok enough sweet talking you two love birds, I wanna go eat dinner without getting sick from all that talk."

"Harry you really should try not to be so rude about other peoples feelings for each other. Not like you would know though, because you've never…"

"I never what?"

"Like I said, you wouldn't understand." Stephany just stood there looking into Harry's blue eyes. He looked back at her, but then turned his head over to Hermione. "I'm coming. If you let me go."

"Don't worry, we're letting you go Harry." Hermione looked at his innocent face. "Are you free on Saturday? We leave in the morning." Stephany said back to him.

"Yea I am free. I will probably have loads of homework from Professor Snape but who knows, maybe we'll get lucky."

"Maybe…" Stephany finished with him. Two minutes of awkward silence Professor McGonagall walked into the room, the common room door slamming shut behind her. "Was the fat lady singing?"

"Yes indeed she was Mr. Weasley, indeed she was." Professor McGonagall looked over at Stephany. "Will you four join us all for dinner please. It started thirty minutes ago."
