The Note
Chapter Two.
Ron began writing a note, in the neatest handwriting he could do. Ron planned to give this note to Ginny. There was a lot better of a plan but he was in a hurry.
Just then Harry entered the dormitory. Ron looked at Harry continued writing.
"What was the hurry of leaving me and Hermione like that?" Harry asked walking over to Ron, who quickly hid the piece of parchment.
"What's that?" Harry asked stepping closer to Ron.
"Nothing!" He replied wanting Harry to just go to bed.
"Is that a note?" Harry asked, yet another question.
"What is this! Twenty-one questions?" Ron snapped.
Harry looked at Ron with a small smile. Ron didn't exactly hide the whole piece of parchment.
"That for Hermione?" Harry asked nodding at it. Ron's eyes got big. "How'd you know!" Ron asked not caring to hide it anymore.
Ron sighed, and Harry sat down beside Ron. "When are you going to give it to her?" He asked curiously.
"I'm going to give it to Ginny…and she is going to give it to Hermione…I hope." Ron replied, he then looked at the door and back at Harry. "Where's Hermione?" Ron asked, he didn't want her to walk in while they had this conversation.
Hermione sat out in the common room still working on homework. She sighed not able to concentrate.
It was almost midnight and she was beginning to get sleepy, when the girl's dormitory door opened. Hermione stopped her train of thought and looked to see who was up.
Ginny Weasley walked down the steps yawning. "Hermione! Shouldn't you get to bed already?" She asked sitting on the couch in front of the fireplace.
"Why aren't you in bed Ginny?" Hermione asked casually getting back to her homework.
"Because, I couldn't sleep you weren't in bed!" Ginny answered, trying not to doze off. Hermione just sighed putting her things together.
"Well, my advanced classes have a lot of homework, and I want to show good effort on it!" Hermione finally spoke. "Well I think I'll got back to bed now!" Ginny replied getting up yawning again.
"Alright," Hermione began as Ginny slowly made her way up the stairs, "I'll be up in a few." Hermione then heard the sound of the door shutting as Ginny was back into the girl's dormitory.
Hermione let out another sigh, she was mostly thinking about how bad Ron was shaking earlier. She wondered if something was bothering him. Hermione didn't know what to do, but she did decide she was going to ask him at breakfast in a couple of hours.
Hermione finally shut her books, and wet up to bed.
At morning Ron and Harry we're already in the common room at six thirty in the morning. Ron had a folded up note and handed it to Ginny and they began to go over the plan.
"Okay, Ginny." Ron began, "I'm depending on you to get this right!" Ron then took a deep breath.
Ginny nodded. "Now, when it's lunch time or bed time which ever, I need you to go over to Hermione and say you found this note in one of your books, and someone must have meant to put it in hers because, It has her name on it!" Ron was so nervous! He was so scared that even the neat handwriting he put so much effort into wouldn't disguise it!
Ginny looked at the note, and then at Ron. "I won't let you down Ron!" Ginny finally said shoving the note in her robes.
"Thanks Ginny, you truly are a good sister!" Ron said feeling a little relieved.
"Yeah, Thanks I guess…Well I'll see you around Ron, and Harry!" Ginny said leaving the common room.
"Glad that's over!" Harry said standing up. "I'm starving! But, we can't leave without Hermione." Harry said looking at the girl's dormitory door.
"Well, I'm sure she won't be long." Ron said standing at Harry's side.
About ten minutes later Hermione came out of the dormitory all tired looking.
"What's with you?" Ron asked looking at her as she slowly walked down the stairs.
"I stayed up late last night doing homework again!" She replied. "But, who cares I'm starving! Let's go eat shall we?" She added, and they all left the common room, and entered the Great Hall.
They all sat down next to each other with Ron in the middle this time.
"Hermione…could you pass the salt?" Harry asked. His scrambled eggs needed some.
"Sure, there you go Harry!" She said passing him the salt. "Thanks." He replied.
"Bloody hell…I just realized…we have a muggle's study!" Ron said with a pathetic expression.
"Oh good! I don't need anything special today!" Hermione said eating.
Ron sighed, and looked at Ginny from across the Gryffindor table. Ginny smiled and continued eating.
Ginny was excited to let Hermione read the note! She had already read it, but she of course wouldn't tell Hermione that.
The time finally came for all Hogwart's students to go to class. Ron cleared his throat and he walked with Harry, and Hermione to class.
They had a new teacher for a Muggle's Study! Her name was Ms. Treavnor. She had long black hair, dark thick glasses, and a lot of wrinkles!
Harry sat in the middle of Ron and Hermione, and they all just took notes.
"Now, can any of you tell me what a TV is?" Ms Treavnor asked. Hermione was of course the first to raise a hand.
"Miss Granger!" Ms Treavnor said, with a warming smile.
Ron was tuning everything out, he was wondering, and worrying about the note and Hermione!
What if she doesn't know it's me…
But what if she knows it's me?
Well, I say it's worth it!
Yeah…Hermione is a good, uh yeah…
Oh god! What is going to be her reaction when she figures out eventually it's me?
Ron sat there in class not paying attention! He was so worried! He so badly wanted Hermione to like him back! So he continued asking himself these questions over and over again in his head.
Finally the sound of the bell broke his thoughts, and they all left class.
"Ron," Hermione said as they left the classroom, "Are you alright?" She asked. "He seemed really…strange during class!" Hermione and them turned a corner to go to their next class.
"I was thinking, again!" Ron answered, he knew she was sensing something huge on his mind, and he didn't want her to find out what it was.
"Ron you need to stop spacing out! This year is an important year! If you don't straighten up you'll fail!" Hermione said being the Miss know it all she is!
Ron kind of got hot headed at this, but he kept it to himself best he could.
"Well, I don't recall you exactly always 100 percent having all your thoughts on school!" Ron replied with a little tone.
"What's that suppose to mean?" Hermione snapped back!
"Your always writing Krum! Your always thinking about him! That's what it means!" Ron immediately turned away from Hermione and Harry and basically stomped off.
"He's going to miss class!" Harry said, as him and Hermione entered class.
Ron sat in the common room near the fireplace his head was filled with anger. Him and Hermione always fighted! He hated Krum! He never wanted Krum to be with Hermione! Ron wanted Hermione! If you asked Ron, Krum wasn't her type!
Ron went back in time in his mind, pictures of the past raced through his mind. He wanted Hermione to still dislike Krum. He remembered in Second year how he felt when she had been petrified! He felt horrible he felt as if half of him had gone away!
Ron's world was always different without Hermione to write him or be near him. Even Harry made a difference in Ron's life, but that was only a small piece! Hermione had a big impact on Ron's life! He loved her, but they always fighted!
Just then Ron heard outside the common room door the bell for lunch. Ron slowly got up and walked to the Great Hall.
Ginny was sitting next to Hermione as Ron slowly approached. His heart began to race, as he saw Hermione reading the note! His face got all red, and he sweated a lot.
Hermione looked at Ginny her eyes light with cuteness. "This is such a beautiful letter!" Hermione said, "Except the part where, whoever it is talked about how badly I treated them!" Hermione read the letter again, and looked around. "I wish I could meet this person! I mean actually know who it is and talk to them!" Hermione folded up the note and put it in her robes.
Ron then sat down next to Ginny. Ginny looked over at Ron and grinned.
"Well, Ginny how was your class?" Ron asked, but Hermione interrupted!
"Ron! You missed class! We have homework!" She said and began eating some chicken.
"Sorry, but I wasn't in the mood." Ron replied and began to eat himself.
"Well, you have to take these classes whether your in the mood or not Ron, how do you expect to graduate from Hogwarts if you don't study and do your homework!" Hermione asked looking at him.
"Hermione, I can do this! I don't need you breathing down my neck! You're my friend and all Hermione, but please…" Ron began, and he could sense Hermione's eyes begin to fill with madness.
Ron felt a little scared, the last thing he needed was her to be angry again!
"Please Hermione! I don't want to be rude but I just needed time alone!" He said as kindly as he could.
Hermione calmed down and smiled a little. "Okay, but only because you asked nicely Ron!" She then got up. "Well," She said. "I'm going to class early, see you guys in the common room after class!" She then picked up her books and walked off to class.
Ron sighed relief. "Wow Ron, you almost got into it!" Ginny said looking at Ron with a pathetic look. "Well I asked nicely!" Ron replied.
"Oh bloody hell! I don't have time for this! I'm going to my class!" Ron said getting up. "You coming Harry?" Ron asked, and Harry shook his head. Ron shrugged, and walked by himself.
On the way to class he saw Hermione. She was sitting down on a bench. She was reading the note again.
Ron grinned to himself. He felt that if she read it over and over maybe she wouldn't care to meet him. Ron then entered class and began his second note.
After class Ron ran to the common room, and Ginny was there doing her homework. "Ginny!" He gasped for air, running up all those stairs is a lot of work!
"What is it?" Ginny asked, stopped doing her homework looking at her older brother.
"I need you to give this to Hermione and say the same thing happened! Now!" Ron said and he scurried off to the boy's dormitory after she took it and said she would.
Hermione entered the common room calmly, and sat down beside Ginny and started to do her homework also.
"I found another note." She said taking it out of her robes, and handing it to Hermione.
"Another one?" Hermione asked taking it and reading it.
She gasped. "Oh my god! Ginny, they could have been sitting near me! They must have! How else would they of known I wanted to see them?" Hermione folded up the letter, and stood up.
"Well I do have a lot of homework to do…But I could always just use the time turner." She said biting her bottom lip. "Well, I guess I should go…" She then decided to go.
"Thank you Ginny!" Hermione added, and ran up the girl's dormitory stairs to go get dressed.
Hermione decided to wear, a long black sweater that was sort of like a robe. She then wore a pink t-shirt and a pair of bell-bottom blue jeans with black skater like shoes (No she wasn't skater just telling you what they looked like!).
Hermione then combed her hair and ran to the area the note had told her to meet them at.
It was at a courtyard.
Hermione sat on a bench, and began twirling her hair, and messing around, and getting nervous. She had no idea what to expect!
When all the sudden Ron slowly came into view with his face bright red!
Hermione looked at Ron with a surprised expression on her face.
