NEXT DAY
Hermione's POV
Hermione looked in the mirror in her dormitory. She was thinking to herself.
I am an idiot! Such an idiot! What the hell was I doing! Sigh. What was he doing? Were we going to kiss? Suddenly, she felt someone behind her. She spun around to see Lavender and Parvati standing there.
"Oh. Hey Parvati. Hey Lavender." she said casually.
"Hey Hermione." said Parvati.
Lavender however walked right up to Hermione and said one word. "Details."
"Huh?" She was big-time confused. What is she talking about?
"Don't act innocent." Lavender told her. "We saw you and Ron by the lake."
Hermione froze. "You...You did?" she managed to get out of her now-tightened throat.
"We didn't get to stay for long 'cause Neville came." Parvati said. "But we still saw you talking."
Hermione's eyes widened. It was bad enough that those two saw them but Neville!
"We diverted him, so you're lucky, but you owe us details for that." Lavender said. "Now what happened?"
Hermione sighed. "Nothing."
They both raised an eyebrow.
"Seriously. Nothing happened. We talked. That's it." But how I wish we could've finished that kiss!
Lavender and Parvati sighed in sadness. "It's alright Hermione." Lavender told her.
"Yeah. He'll smarten up eventually." Parvati said with an almost-hopeful smile.
Hermione smiled too. They were trying to be comforting, and it was working. "Thanks guys. C'mon, let's get breakfast."
GREAT HALL (Friday)
Ron's POV
Ron sat there, staring gloomily at his cereal. The guys didn't notice. He gave a half-smile. Guys never notice that kind of stuff.
He saw the front doors open and saw Hermione, along with Parvati and Lavender, walk in. Hermione had a smile on her face and then as Parvati whispered something to her she laughed out loud.
She's beautiful when she laughs. He sighed. He had to get through this day without thinking about last night. And he knew how impossible that was going to be. But if he made it through today, then he could avoid her all weekend...And worry about what he was going to do Monday. He sighed again. This was gonna be a long day.
THAT NIGHT
Still Ron's POV
He walked over to the lake. Seeing as that was where Hermione was last night and he was avoiding her, it didn't make much sense, but he wasn't really paying attention. Lost in his own thoughts, his subconsious was controlling his movement, and taking him where he wanted, yet didn't want, to go.
He reached the spot where he met Hermione last night. And was shocked out of his reverie. She was there.
Curse you feet! He said to himself. Had she noticed him?
"Hello Ron." she whispered. Damn. She had.
"Hey 'Mione." he said.
"Wanna sit?" she asked.
He paused. "I...I suppose." He went over and sat down.
Hermione's POV
Hermione smiled. She didn't know why he was here after avoiding her all day, but she didn't really care. He was here.
They sat and admired the lake again.
"So," said Ron hesitantly. She looked over at him. "I saw you with Parvati and Lavender this morning."
"Yeah." Hermione said.
"I thought you said they were kind of...prissy." he said.
She laughed slightly. "Yes I did. But...They're not that bad...I suppose."
He smiled. He was really handsome when he did that.
"Alright, so what were you talking about?" he asked.
"Nothing much. Just girl stuff." she said.
"Girl stuff?" Ron muttered and an eyebrow shot up.
She shifted over and looked him straight in the eye. "Yes Ron." she said with a smirk. "Girl stuff."
All of a sudden, she found herself knocked over and pinned to the ground.
"Ron, what are you..." she stopped and laughed. Oh no. She laughed harder.
"Oh, so you're gonna be arrogant huh?" he asked.
"R...Ron! St...stop tttickl...ling me!" she said inbetween the barely pauseable laughs and after a minute or two, he did.
"You..." she paused to gasp in air. "Are such a pain."
He laughed. "Yup." Was his response.
She noticed how the air from his words fanned over her face...warmly. His face was about two inches away from hers. He seemed to notice too, because he was moving closer.
The space was diminishing. It was a replay of last night. And then...
"Oi! Ron!" Harry shouted. "Where are you mate!"
Ron's POV
Ron shot up. Hermione got out from under him. He looked at her with a feeling of remorse. She bolted, and he sighed.
"Hey, there you are." Harry said.
Ron looked at him exasperatedly. Right now he wanted to do two things: 1)Smash his head against a tree because he was so annoyed 2)Punch Harry in the face. And right now it was really hard to not do the second. "What?" he asked trying to keep his annoyance out of his voice. If Harry noticed, he ignored it.
"Something I heard from Parvati. Were you here with Hermione last night?" he asked.
"And if I was?" Ron gave him a 'don't waste my time' look.
"Have you guys...done anything yet?"
"What!" Ron asked shocked. "What has she been telling you?"
"Only that you guys were here." He motioned around him. "Alone."
"Look, we didn't do anything ok?" Harry gave him a disbelieving look.
"Ron, everyone knows how you fancy her."
"Look...I know. But seriously, we haven't done anything. I swear." he said a little disappointedly.
"Alright, just be careful." he told him and walked off.
Ron sighed. It didn't matter how many warnings he got, he thought as he got up and walked back to the school. By the way things were looking, if these interruptions continued, he was never gonna need 'em anyways.
Want the last part? I have it written! Just review and I'll post it! I'm so evil! See ya!
