Chapter 8: The Surprise
Daisy gaped around at the tall tower, looking at random people talking, playing Gobstones, exploding snap, and wizard's chess, like she's never seen anything like them before.
Er… Daisy? You have played chess before, right?"
` Slowly, Daisy shook her head. "There were no games at Jimilas. Strictly studies. That's why I'm so advanced for my age."
"Good. You'll get along really well with Hermione. She's the cleverest witch in the school."
Just then, Hermione and Ron, both looking slightly flustered, joined Harry and Daisy's conversation.
"Hey mate! Who's this?" Ron asked, thinking she was just some girl he picked up.
"She, er…. Well, um…"
"I'm his sister!"
A tense silence went over the group of friends at the girl's words.
"No, really." Ron turned to Harry. "You don't have a sister."
"Of course he doesn't, Ron," came Hermione's squeaky voice. "Really, Harry, who is she?"
"She told you. She's my sister. Here," said Harry, showing them Daisy's picture of their parents. "Doesn't she look like my mum? Dumbledore talked to me before school started."
Ron and Hermione gaped at them.
"I think we need to talk," said Daisy, breaking the stillness.
They told Ron and Hermione everything. It was midnight, and Hermione was trying to sleep. All these years, and they never knew. Hermione still couldn't believe it. She was in shock, but not just because of that…
"No," she told herself out loud. This caused Lavender, one of the girls in her dorm, to stir. She would not let herself think about Ron. Daisy was BIG news. But Ron… well, Ron was just so cute. Before Harry and Daisy came into the common room, her and Ron were talking…
*FLASHBACK*
"So 'Mione, are you gonna make me do my homework now, or will you let it wait for the weekend?
"You know I won't make you, but you should, Ron."
"Yes, but Hermione, could you put down the book? I wanna talk to you."
She put down the book. "What is it, Ron? No, let me guess. You need my girlish instincts because some other girl won't go out with you."
"Whoa. You're good."
Hermione smiled sweetly.
"God, she's hot when she smiles," Ron thought.
"So, who's the girl?"
Ron chuckled nervously. "Well, you see...ummm...uhhh...well...errrrr...YOU!!" he blurted out.
Hermione's smile faltered slightly. "Excuse me?"
"YOU!!!! I'VE WANTED TO GO OUT WITH YOU FOR 6 YEARS!! YOU KNOW THAT! PLEASE!! JUST ONE DATE TO HOGSMADE!"
It was lucky they were the only ones in the common room. Ron shouted loud.
Hermione had a battle with herself.
"Yes!! Say yes you dope, you've been feeling that way since 2nd year...You're just better at controlling yourself!"
"NO!! It would definitely ruin our friendship," thought her other side. "If you break-up, you'll both be heartbroken, and won't be friends anymore. It would pull us all apart! Even Harry! You don't want that, now do you?"
"Ah, my dear other half, but what if you don't break up? What if you get along well, and get married some day and have children? You never know, a spark might fly….."
"Yes!!!" Hermione shouted aloud.
Ron looked at her in surprise. "You're serious? You wanna go out with me?"
Hermione nodded. "I've wanted this since 2nd year. I'm just better at hiding my emotions."
With that, Ron dragged Hermione back onto the couch, so she was sitting on his lap, and pulled her into a kiss. Hermione felt the energy between them as soon as their lips touched, and so did Ron. He deepened the kiss, ever so slightly, and ran his fingers through her hair. This went on for five minutes, until they heard footsteps coming, and voices. Ron groaned. "Just when it was getting good," he whispered.
Hermione kissed him one more time, barely touching him. The portrait opened, and there was Harry, with a very attractive girl.
*END OF FLASHBACK*
