Some Interesting Matches
Chapter 4: An Unlikely Twist
Disclaimer: I think I've been forgetting to put these on my other chapters. Can you be reported for that? Uh-oh, I hope not. Well, if I really have been forgetting them, here's my disclaimer for all those chapters, also. Harry Potter belongs to J.K. Rowling. And since I'm obviously not J.K. Rowling, it's pretty safe to say I don't own Harry Potter.
A/N: Ok, well, you guys definitely told me what you thought (Thanks! I love you all!) So, without further ado, Chapter 4!
Ron's face was the color of his hair as he realized his mistake. Hermione's face, in contrast, was white with anticipation.
But Ron was stubborn. And also scared out of his wits. The last time he had felt this scared was when a giant brain had been attacking him.
"Well…what did…you think?" asked Ron, not wanting to go first. Hermione, however, obviously felt the same way. "You first," she said.
"No, you first," Ron said in return.
"No, you go…Ron, were acting like a couple of five year olds! Let's just go at the same time. Ok?"
"Yeah, fine."
"Ok, then. One…two…three."
"I LIKED THEM!" Hermione thundered as Ron didn't say anything. Quite a few heads turned at her outburst.
Trelawney stood up (which didn't look all that different from when she was sitting down) and interrupted Ron and Hermione's "conversation."
"Ok, everyone, the stars are telling me class is over (actually the bell had rung) so be sure to have a roll of parchment on what you saw in your partner's eyes done by Tuesday."
All throughout Trelawney's announcement, Ron had been grinning like a fool. This, of course, grated on Hermione's nerves since she still didn't know how he felt about the results.
Was he grinning because a girl like her had actually thought they might have a chance? Or… was he grinning because he had liked them too?
It was hard to tell with Ron. Plus, there was the fact that he had remained silent instead of saying what he felt.
Hermione watched Ron as he gathered up his books and parchment, still grinning. He didn't say anything until they were back in the Gryffindor Common Room.
"I liked the results too," he said, making Hermione melt. Well, maybe she could forgive him for not saying anything after all.
"So…since we both liked them…" Ron had found his Gryffindor courage. "Then…do you want to…uh…be my…"Ron continued, trying to find the right words.
Hermione, however, saved him from this as she shouted "YES!" this time not caring who heard her.
But perhaps she should have cared. Because Lavender sat in the corner, hanging on to every word. Unhappy with her result of Neville, and jealous of the "couple's" happiness, she decided she was going to ruin it. And wait until they saw what exactly she was cooking up this time…
A/N: Sorry for the short and blah chapter…I guess you could say I needed a bridge chapter (Thank you, Lily, for my new vocabulary word!) And I know what Lavender said was pretty corny, but I needed a twist. Also, REMEMBER that the story is not primarily about Ron and Hermione, either. I definitely am going to have a few chapters on Harry and Ginny and a few other couples. Actually, I'm trying to decide if Harry and Ginny will work out or not…what do you guys think?
Reviewer Comments: (I hit 20 reviews on Chapter 3! Thx to everyone!)
Roe Merrifield (freespirit65 :Hopefully it will get very interesting... especially with the"twist." :) And... I guess everyone likes to leave cliffies because... actually that's a good question.
tigerlilies : Oh, dear Lily, you need help. (Uh, Jennie-poo??) What are you talking about Fred and George? They aren't in this story. Are you talking about An Anonymous Letter? To everyone else: Who knows with her?
Lady Jellybean : I'm glad!
Luvsirius: Read this sentence in Chapter 3: "As Ron walked to Trelawney's loft with Harry, he cursed who ever had decided to make "Unfogging the Future" a requirement to graduate from Hogwarts undoubtedly not be taking the course with Ron and Harry."
Claire (cmercersprint.ca:Good idea... Actually I was already thinking about doing that for another story. I'll have to keep you posted.
bahjcb :That's for sure!
Andthanks to everyone else who reviewed, I love you all!And please review this chapter, also. I want to knowwhat you think!
