"What were you and Ron talking about?" Harry asked.

"Nothing." Hermione said simply.

"Oh, come on 'Mione! You can't be talking about nothing!" Harry sighs. "Fine."

"But may I tell you when the time is right?"

"Promise?"

"Yes, Harry, I promise." Silence fell over Harry and Hermione. They sat, not talking, until Hermione asked, "Can you pass the waffles?" Harry – obviously – passed them to her. Their eyes met for a second, they both smiled, and then looked away. Harry thought he saw something in Hermione eyes…love? Almost. It was more of admiring at love or some combination like that. Harry sat there thinking for at least five minutes. When he turned to ask Hermione how he should apologize to Ron, she was standing up, finished with her breakfast. Hermione gave Harry a sweet smile and a kiss on the cheek then left. Harry was puzzled. 'I wonder if she did that on purpose…' Harry though almost out loud. But all that came out was "I wonder."

As Harry was about to get up to leave, Ginny walked up to the Gryffindor table. Harry waved to her to come sit with him. As soon as she sat down, Harry spilled about Ron and how mad Ron was at him.

"Hmmm." Ginny said thoughtfully.

"What should I do?" Harry asked feeling dumb.

"Its really up to you."

"But he's your brother."

"And your friend."

"Come on, you have to help me!"

"Harry, I just can't on this one."

"But – "

"You have to figure it out on your own."

"But – "

"See ya, I promised someone I'd sit with them. Sorry."

"Fine, see ya." Harry said disappointedly. Ginny gave him an approving smile and sat with her best friend, Cassidy. Harry gave her a knowing nod and headed towards the common room. "Fluff Bang." Harry said when he got to the portrait of the fat lady. It swung open. Harry climbed in and found Ron on the couch by the dull fire.

"Hey." Harry said.

"Hi." Ron said grumpily.

Awkward Silence

"I – " Harry started.

"Why have you been acted so messed up?" Ron interrupted.

"Sorry."

"That's all you have to say!?"

"Ron, I'm sorry."

"Oh, sure you are! Sorry for checking out her mouth with yours or making out in front of me or –"

"I said I was sorry."

"You know I like her!"

"What?"

"Don't act so clueless, Harry!"

"I don't know what you're talking about, honest."

"She didn't tell you?"

"Who? Hermione? She didn't tell me anything."

"Seriously?"

"Yes. I tried to get it out of her, but she held strong and wouldn't spill." Ron started to cool down. "You really like her, man?" Harry asked.

"Yeah." Ron answered.

"You can ask her out."

"She's yours."

"Friend to friend, go on."

"No, Harry, I won't. I can't."

"Its ok."

"No."

"You sure."

"Positive."

"Good."

"Fine." Harry and Ron grin at each other and shoke hands. "Quidditch game tonight, you coming." Harry asked.

"Your bet." Ron said.

"Lets go find 'Mione and get to Transfiguration."

"Bet she's already there." Ron and Harry laughed.

"Bet you're right."

In Transfiguration

Harry and Ron found Hermione at her seat doing the warm-up Professor McGonagall demonstrated. It was a fairly simple one: to change the glass in front of you into a spell book and that the book they'd be using for that class.

During a break Professor McGonagall gave them Hermione came over to where Harry and Ron were sitting and said, "Looks like you two made up." Harry and Ron grinned from ear to ear.

"Break's over, everyone." Professor McGonagall yelled out. All the students filed into their seats and they all sat like that for another 45 minutes until class was done.

One minute left to go and all the transfiguration they had done was the simple warm-up. They took notes and read from the spell book the whole time. The bell rang and everyone ran out yelling and laughing. Harry, Ron and Hermione walked out at a slower pace. They went to Gryffindor tower and got their stuff for Potions and headed to the dungeons. Nothing of any interest but Snape took 15 points from Gryffindor for nothing, as usual.

"Finally, lunch!" Ron said. "I'm starving!" Harry and Hermione laughed. They went to the Gryffindor tower to put their stuff away and started towards the Great Hall for Lunch.
