Okay I know, I am horrible at updating but this will change. I really want to finish this fic.

Where is she! Its lunch, she was supposed to back at lunch. Ron thought as he stared at his full plate of food. He wanted to pace, his legs were aching to pace or leave or something. He had to do something, but if he left he might miss Hermione and if he paced he would gain too much attention. Not that his apparent lack of appetite wasn't gaining him some stares.

"Hey Ron, you feeling okay?" Harry said, gaining a distracted glance from Ron.

"Where is Hermione?" Ron blurted in a lo

uder voice than he intended. He hadn't meant to ask that question, he hadn't meant to say it that loud, and he really hadn't meant for Lavender to hear it.

"Ron, did you just ask where Hermione is?" Lavender said, turning her full attention to Ron.

"Well yeah, I mean I just wanted to know where she is, I mean that meeting should have been over by now." Ron flustered, returning his gaze to the plate below him.

"Ron is curious about Hermione, wants her to be here, and isn't eating which maybe because he's nervous. Ron's nervous. He wants Hermione here. Ron's going to ask Hermione out!" Lavender screamed.

Ron just glared at her and then returned his gaze to the food below him.

The news spread fast, too fast, and soon the majority of Gryffindor who cared about either student, knew. Gossiping and giggles surrounded Ron and all he could do was stare at his plate. All Harry could do was laugh.


Soon lunch ended and Ron and Harry went to their next class. It was transfiguration but due to the meeting both fourth and fifth year Gryffindor classes were together. Which meant Ron was bombarded by yet another giggling girl.

"RON! YOU'RE GOING TO ASK HERMIONE OUT!" Ginny screeched as she reached the two older boys.

"If people keep yelling about it, then I wont have a chance." Ron said through gritted teeth.

"Hey Hermione" Harry said as he saw her walk through the door.

"Hey guys, ugh that meeting was so long but informative at the same time. Mcgonagall wanted to stay and talk to the guest witch that had come so I think we are watching a hologram picture today." Hermione said trying to act calm although her nerves were as hyped up as Ron's.

"Hey Hermione, stay after class today. Ron has something he wants to tell you." Ginny said forgetting about her brother and the glare he was giving her. There was no way she was letting him chicken out of this. Nope, not one.

The four found seats in the back of the room, Ron sat in front of Hermione, with Harry beside him and Ginny beside Hermione. The hologram picture was more like the educational videos that muggles watched. Which meant they were long and boring. Soon a quiet chatter grew amongst the students, as enchanted notes were passed around the room. The substitute witch tried to keep as much commotion down as she could, but she never saw or cared about the couple in the back that passed a note in between themselves.

Ginny had even donated the paper.

Ron and Hermione talked quietly, about what he had heard. The conversation quickly turned as she wrote that she liked him. He said it back and the two pondered what the next step was.

"Will you be my girlfriend?" Ron said, looking at her with hope in his eyes.

"Yes."
