Everyone woke up at about 10:00 AM, but when Ron and Hermione woke up they were still tired since they hadn't gotten much sleep last night. They all went downstairs to open their presents. When Harry went downstairs most of the girls seemed to be staring at him and giggling. For some reason Harry had become very popular with the ladies this year! ;-) They'd all look at him funny, and when he'd turn their way they'd blush and giggle. Maybe partly the reason was that Harry had started looking just as handsome as his father James, but was less arrogant.

Ron and Hermione opened their presents together. Ron had gotten a newly sewn sweater from Mrs. Weasley. He'd gotten a handbook from Harry called "Tips and Tricks To Play Like The Pro At Quidditch" and had gotten a Nimbus 2001 from Hermione! (not sure if that's a better broom than the one ron bought so forgive me lol). He looked at it in awe and then back up at Hermione. She smiled and said, "I knew how much you're into your Quidditch games now so I thought you deserved a better broom!" "Thanks Hermione," said Ron hugging her. She wasn't expecting it but enjoyed it.

While he was opening his other presents Hermione opened some of hers. By now Harry had brought his presents and joined them forming a circle. Hermione had gotten a sweater from Mrs. Weasley too, a book on Muggle Articfacts from Harry (whom she gave a long hug) and thanked. Ron's she opened last and from him she got a set of different coloered quills. It was called "Faolo's Fabulous Frill Quills." They had an enchantment on them so that they each changed into a different color when you started a new sentence. Hermione immediately hugged Ron the biggest hug and whispered, "Thank You soooo much Ron! I love them! I'm going to use them for each class." And when she let go she game him the best smile.

The room was soon crowded so the three decided to get changed and go for a walk. This time Hermione didn't walk in the middle of Harry and Ron, but beside Ron which put him in the middle. When Harry had passed Cho Chang he didn't bother to look at her, but saw her glance his way through the corner of his eye. She was strolling with Roger (which Harry guessed she would). Ron and Hermione were talking without fighting for once and Harry thought, "This must be a first." The wind was getting chillier as they walked and so Ron gave Hermione his jacket, and he was left in his newly woven sweater. They ended up running into Oliver Wood, so Harry and Ron started talking to him. They'd found out that he'd come to visit. Suddenly Hermione squinted for there was a figure coming her way, and she clutched tighter to Ron's jacket. "Er-my-kneww! Er-my-knee!" called the figure. All of a sudden Hermione's face changed from confusion to a free falling smile. It was Viktor! At once she began running to hug him. Ron's jacket had fallen off her shoulders as if rejected, but she kept on running. Ron and Harry had immediately turned around, and Ron gazed sadly at Hermione hug Viktor. He slowly went to pick up his jacket that had fallen from her light shoulders. His head hung in sorrow.

"Viktor!" shouted Hermione as she hugged him as he lifted her and twirled her around. "Er-my-knee! I said it right this time!" laughed Viktor. They walked down to the old, aged, beech tree standing beside the frozen, shimmering lake and sat down. Harry and Oliver were still deep in their conversation about how Angela was doing on the team. Ron watched intently on what Hermione and Viktor were doing. He saw that they were talking constantly, so he was just about to turn around when…he saw Viktor lean forward and kiss Hermione! His hand was on her cheek and they were at it for quite some time!! "That bloody scoundrel!" mumbled Ron, his eyes had increased their size to about twice as big and they usually were. "And she let him kiss her! I should've known…why did she have to make me feel like this then…urgh!" Suddenly Ron's eyes were stung with wetness and water rimmed them as if tears were tempting to fall. He quickly turned around. He tried to include himself in Harry and Oliver's conversation holding back his tears of anger and sadness. "Does she order you around?" said Oliver. "Yeah and last year, oooh last year was a killer! Let met tell you!" said Harry. That was it! Ron couldn't take it anymore! "I'm going for a walk," said Ron quickly as he started forward. He had put his jacket back on, and had his hands dug deep into his pockets. Anger flowed through him like a river. "How could I have liked her!" Ron thought. "She always criticized me and always tried to push me away, but no I had to be the bloody nice guy! Why did I ever feel that way for her! Bloody hell!" thought Ron as his pace quickened, adrenaline rushing through his veins urging him on. He ruffled his hair with one hand. The sidewalk he was walking on was made to go around the whole lake so he was getting close to the tree where Hermione and Viktor were snogging…
