Well, I didn't get as many reviews as I wanted, but hey! At least I got one, and thank you very much! :)

So, here's second chapter. Read, enjoy and review! ;)

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Hermione couldn't sleep. After Ginny's little 'speech', there was too much on her mind now to sleep. The thing was that she hadn't really thought of Ron that way before. He was one of her best friends. She could always count on him when she was worried, when she was frighten..., when she needed someone to talk about concerning Harry for example. Ron had always been there, comforting and making her feel better. She groaned. This was crazy. She didn't have a crush on Ron.

After what felt like hours of just laying in her bed, doing nothing else but thinking and making her head spin, she decided she might as well get up. She went downstairs, thinking of making herself some tea. As she entered the kitchen she noticed that there was someone else there too. And who other could it be than Ron? He looked tired, his eyes were half-closed and his hair was messy, and he seemed a bit unsteady on the feet. When he saw he tried to fully open up his eyes.

- "Evening," he muttered sleepy.

- "Evening," she replied. "Why are you up so late?"

- "Hungry." He took a sandwich out from the fridge. – "You want one?"

She nodded. He took out another sandwich and gave it to her, and then they sat down at the table.

- "So, why are you up now?" Ron asked.

- "Can't sleep," Hermione answered.

- "Why not?"

Hermione shrugged.

- "Just too much on my mind." She answered. Well, what was she supposed to say? I can't sleep because of you. Because I'm not sure if I have feelings for you or not. And now I don't know what to do. She rolled her eyes and took a bite from her sandwich.

Ron, however, just nodded, not daring to ask more about it. He didn't want to repeat the episode that had happened in his room earlier that day – least of all start a new fight! He took a bite from the sandwich, and then he closed his eyes – now it looked more like he was asleep than awake.

Hermione couldn't help thinking about all those fights they had had, and on what Ginny had said. If Ginny was right... If no one argued as much as they do unless there is something more to it, then maybe that meant that Ron liked her too. Again she rolled her eyes. What was she thinking? Certainly, Ron didn't like her. Of course he didn't. Yes he cared for her, now that was obvious. He wouldn't have been so protective if he hadn't. But that was all. If he even was in love with somebody, it wasn't her for sure.

Slowly Ron opened up his eyes again.

- "Do you know how long it took for Harry to say goodnight to Ginny?" he yawned.

Hermione giggled.

- "Bloody thirty minutes!" Ron shook his head, and finished the last bite of the sandwich. – "I mean, seriously. Yeah, so they won't see each other in ten hours, but they will be sleeping those hours anyway."

- "Wait to you fall in love, then you'll know what it's like."

Ron wrinkled his nose.

- "Well, only time will show," he said, his ears reddening. He got up on his feet and was about to say goodnight but Hermione interrupted.

- "Don't go - yet." She bit her lip and blushed a bit. – "I mean, I can't sleep and... Well, it's so boring to just sit alone here."

Ron sighted but smiled. The bed can wait, he thought.

- "What about a game with wizard's chess?"

--------

After three games of wizard's chess (Ron had won all three of them of course) and several games of "Guess who I am" (where they had to guess whom the other one was thinking of by asking only yes and no – questions), the both of them fell asleep on the sofa in the living room. Ron was laying in one of the ends of the sofa, and Hermione had her head resting on Ron's chest. She was moving in the same rhythm as Ron's chest and breath-takes, and it was quite a sight for anyone who would see them.

That was the exact thought of Fred and George as they entered the living room the next day.

- "My, my, Fred, what do we have here?"

- "Two lovebirds finally finding their 'friend'?"

It was at that moment Hermione woke up. She looked around bewildered, as if not remembering where she was. Then it all came back to her. When she saw Fred and George she quickly got up on her feet, blushing furiously.

The twins, however, were more than amused by the sight. They both exchanged looks and then grinned broadly.

- "What?" Hermione snapped. They hadn't time to even say one word before she had turned on her heels and run up the stairs and into Ginny's room.

Ginny was already awake and dressed when Hermione come storming in to the room. She merely raised her eyebrows, watching Hermione as she sat down in her bed and pulled up a book which she started to read. No one said anything for a while.

- "Hermione?" Ginny finally said.

- "What is it?" Hermione answered, not looking up from the book.

- "Everything is all right, right? I mean, you weren't here when I woke up and now you came storming in to the room... You didn't have a fight with Ron, did you?!"

- "No."

- "Good. Well, I guess it wouldn't have made much sense. Ron is never up this early anyway," Ginny said. She paused for a few seconds, thinking. – "Fred and George! What did they do now?"

- "No one did anything, Ginny. There's nothing wrong!"

Hermione wasn't sure if she wanted to tell Ginny about this night. It wasn't as if anything had happened, but she had had such a great time. She couldn't remember having laughed so much before. And the feeling she had felt... It was a feeling she didn't want to disappear. And it was all with... Ron. No, she wouldn't give Ginny that satisfaction.

- "Where's Harry?" Hermione asked, changing the subject.

- "Still asleep," Ginny answered, narrowing her eyes at Hermione. She was just about to say something else, but was interrupted by raised voices outside the room.

- "Will you guys get of my back?" Ron yelled.

- "No," Fred answered.

- "Not before you tell us about this night, lover boy," George added, snickering.

- "How empty-headed are you two? I said we played some games! Why do you think there's a chessboard on the table?" Ron said. – "But if you don't believe me, and if it's such a big deal to you, why don't you go and ask Hermione and see if she is telling you anything different!!"

And then the voices where gone. They heard a door slam and then all they could hear were the twins giggling quietly to them selves. Ginny looked at Hermione, raising her eyebrows.

- "What was that all about?"
