Okay so I've been told to add more and all I want to do is obey those who read and review so here's the next chapter!

It had been three days since that day. Three days since he tried to the Great Hall's doors with his head. Three days since he fell and everyone laughed at him. Three days since he heard Hermione say that she liked him.

No wait, just because she said that she knew both of her crushes were stupid right after I humiliated myself, does not mean she likes me. Ron thought, staring at the small square of ceiling above his four poster bed. From the bed next to him, he could hear Harry quietly snoring the night hours away, but for now Ron couldn't think of sleep. For three days he thought of little other than what Hermione had said and what on earth it could possibly have meant.

But if she didn't mean it that way, why would she get so scared that I heard it. I had to completely convince her that I hadn't heard a thing for her to calm down and not glare my sister to death. What if… Maybe then… I have to do it.

And with that Ron quietly turned over and planned the next day's events until his dreams overtook his anxiousness for the morrow's rise.

"Hey Mione!" Ron said as he walked into the common room where the group usually met before heading to the Great Hall. Act cool, Ron, just act cool. Nothing is going to change if you don't let it change. Just act cool.

"Hey Ron." Hermoine said, lifting her nose from the spine of her book. UGH, He gets cuter everyday.

"So you're going to that thing today, huh?"

"If you are referring to the information meeting about taking care of the earth as muggles as well as witches, than yes I am going to that thing." Hermione said sitting down her book.

"So when do you think you're gonna be finished." Ron said not noticing their friends walking into the room.

"I'm going to miss our morning classes, but I'll be back by lunch or McGonagall's class at the latest."

"Oh cool." Ron said kicking the invisible pebble on the ground. Lunch it is.

"Why?"

"Um, I thought we could talk about what you said the other day." Ron said with as much slyness as he could muster.

What I said the other… oh crap! Hermione thought, realizing what Ron meant.

"Hey guys, are y'all going to eat breakfast or what?" Harry said interrupting both of his friend's thoughts.

Hermione fell back behind the group as they exited the common room. Of course with her luck, the previous conversation was not only overheard by some of their classmates, but it piqued the interest of a specific one.

"Hermione Granger!"

Ugh, not now! Hermione thought. "Hey Lavender!"

"Mione!" Lavender whispered as she pulled Hermione into a hallway.

"Lavander, you're giving me a bruise!"

"Why didn't you tell me that you liked Ron." Lavender said, ignoring Hermione's comment but letting go of her arm.

"Lavender… how did you… you know never mind. I just started liking Ron, that's all."

"Well, I'm glad. I think ya'll are great together." Lavender said turning around, leaving a stunned Hermione in her wake.
