"Oh just wanted to get near the fire!" said Ron putting his hands near the fire. "I...uh...am very tired...so..see you tomorrow Harry," said Hermione quickly as she went to the girls dormitory. "I know what happened," said Harry slyly. All of a sudden Ron's ears turned scarlet, "You do?!" "Yeah you got into another argument with Hermione," said Harry. "Oh! Yeah..right," said Ron relaxing. "I didn't even get to ask her what Viktor asked in his letter," thought Ron.
"So what happened with you and Cho mate?" asked Ron. "Another one of her dramatic moments," said Harry annoyed. He put a hand to his head. All night Hermione could not sleep all she could think about was about Ron and their hug...and how she'd felt. She sank her face in her pillow. "How could I fell that way! We've been friends forever and now I might fancy him? This is just too much!" she whispered to herself. Then she also thought about what Viktor had said in his letter: "Will you go out with me?" signed Viktor. That last line was all she could remember. He was coming this Christmas to visit her and wait for her answer! What was she going to say!
That night Ron tossed and turned too. He was thinking about the hug too. "Maybe all these years it's been worth the wait," he thought. That night both Hermione and Ron were dreaming that they were sitting under the beech tree by the edge of the lake. They were talking but in Hermione's dream it was more pleasant. Her hair was flying behind her by the wind and Ron was to her left talking confidently about his last quidditch match. "You should have seen me Hermione! I was blocking every quaffle like they were balloons!" he said as he put his hand through his hair. Then they moved closer to each other. "Hermione you look grand," said Ron. "Thanks Ron." And they moved closer and closer and they were just about to kiss when Hermione woke up suddenly. She was breathing fast and saw that it was 5:00 in the morning, so lay back down. Ron's dream was that they were under the tree. He was talking about how he blocked every single quaffle. Then just as he and Hermione got closer Viktor appeared and said, "Excuse me," and then left taking Hemrione with him! Ron woke up immediately by this dream and sat up breathing quickly. What had just happened? Why did he have such a dream? He checked the time and it was 5:00 in the morning so he lay back down.
