I'll like to dedicate this chapter to Anthony Draconius for giving me the idea of including a grape.
This is the third attempt since the first chapter is just an introduction to the bet.
Hermione woke up to the sweet smell of Autumn. She was relaxed and content until she realized she had
double potions with Snape after breakfast. Hermione cursed and grumbled as she got up, which woke up the
rest of the Gryffindor girls.
A small brown owl rested on the dormitory room and Hermione instantly realized it was Pigwedgeon, Ron's
bird. She quickly walked to the animal before any other girl squeaked about how cute and tiny it was.
The brown string tied around the note was also tied to a tiny wooden box and it was very easy to untie.
She unrolled the small parchment and read one simple sentence,
'Keep this in a special spot, you'll be needing it soon'
Hermione was confused and hoped the wooden box would help her. The tiny box resembled the shape of a
treasure chest but was very bare and the letters 'RW+HG' were carved on the lid. Hermione smiled, Ron was
a little, lanky boy who was unsensitive as you could get, but he has grew into a very caring and sweet man.
She opened the box and laughed, a plump, green grape was revealed.
Ron hurried to the Great Hall before the rest of the Hogwarts students arrived and dropped down in a certain
brunette's seat. He placed a small pie on the table and began to arrange fruit on top of it. As soon as he
finished he rushed off before anyone could find him.
Harry and Hermione went down to the Great Hall with Harry explaining that he couldn't find Ron anywhere
and Hermione becoming suspicious. As they arrived at the Gryffindor table, Hermione stopped in front of
her seat.
In the area she sat and ate at, there was a small cherry pie, her favorite type, with cherries on top which were
arranged to spell out three words. Kiss the Cook. The pie didn't look as delicious as it could be, the cherry
filling was flooding out from cracks, the dough was slightly white in some areas and in other areas, the
dough was a dark brown. But Hermione thought it was the most thoughtful thing Ron has ever done for her.
As Ron walked towards the bushy haired girl, she turned around and found a red head in an apron that said
'Kiss the Cook' who was blushing madly.
"How does it taste?" Ron asked bashfully. He sure looks cute when he blushes, Hermione thought, and he
always does!
She reached for a fork and digged into a dark brown area of the pie. She tried to keep a straight and happy
face as she ate it but he could tell it tasted exactly how it looked. Disgusting.
"I knew I shouldn't of put salt and lemon in it!" Ron angrily answered.
'Y-you put l-lemon in it?" Hermione asked with a worried sound. She stopped from spooning another scoop
of pie.
"Well yeah," Ron scratched his back, looking uncertain, "My mom always does..."
Hermione rushed out of the Great Hall towards the closest washroom.
Everyone at the Gryffindor table looked confused and shocked, they turned to Ron for the answer.
But Harry had it.
"She's allergic to lemons." Harry simply said as he rushed after he to see if she was alright.
