A/N: Hello everybody! I would like to thank those three people who have reviewed.
First to NeVeRmInD2: As you can see I have changed the first chapter a little bit. I had no idea it was that bad. Even with the spell check. Perhaps I should re-read the chapter before I post.
Second to Lady Pyrefly: Yea, one of my famous reviewers is still reading my work. I thank you. I'm glad you think this story will be cute. It just makes me want to put more effort into it.
Third to Sjpgurl: I am ecstatic to hear that you found this story funny. Even I find this story highly amusing. LOL!
And last to Amanda: Blushes! Thanks! You're a sweetheart! I hope you'll like the rest!
And hopefully next time I will get more reviews. HINT! HINT!
Chapter 2: Ron's plan backfires
I cannot believe Hermione actually did that to Ron. I mean she completely had him going there. He looked a little heart broken at first but he eventually got over it. They were both talking and joking about it later. But that didn't stop Ron from wanting a little revenge on Hermione. He later told her about how even he found the whole thing a little humorous. Although in a way I could see the pained look in his face.
It was a dark and cloudy November day when he finally did get his revenge. He pretended to flirt with a girl just to get Hermione jealous, but the sad thing was … that it was Pansy Parkinson. And she didn't like the fact that he was talking to her. She seemed just a little too disgusted to be anywhere near Ron.
Little did he know that it wouldn't work. She was laughing her head off in Potions, and Neville was so curious to know as to what was so funny that he accidentally spilled his Bulbadox Powder and everyone who was working at that table were covered in thick pink boils.
After Snape Cleared it with his wand, took fifty points from Gryffindor, and got detention Neville asked Ron what he was so upset about. "Nothing!" replied Ron rather grumpily. Neville looked a little taken aback but got over it quickly.
The bell rang signaling the end of the day. Ron, Hermione, and I filed out with the rest of the class and headed back to Gryffindor tower, put our books away, and just sat talking on the couch, until Ron asked me a question. "So are you going to the ball with anybody?" He asked not sounding all that interested.
Blushing I replied, "yes," then looking over at Hermione I said, "Luna asked me yesterday at lunch."
Hermione smiled, "at least Harry doesn't care about looks."
Ron looked hurt and quickly said; "I don't care about looks too."
Hermione gave a derisive bit of laughter.
Ignoring this Ron looked at me. "You don't think I care about looks do you?"
"No! Of course not!" I said crossing my fingers behind my back. "That would be completely shallow."
It seems to have stung with how much Hermione can hurt you just by looking at you. The glare she gave me hurt. It's amazing how she can do that to a person. Her chocolate brown eyes were darker than normal and her rosy cheeks were getting pinker.
Quickly changing the subject I asked, "So…. Are you going to the ball with anyone yet?" I cast a hopeful eye at Hermione so she would know exactly what I was talking about.
She shook her head while Ron wasn't looking. Boy this mind reading thing really doesn't seem to be working well.
"Yeah!" Ron said abruptly chancing a glance at Hermione to see her reaction. And to his delight she looked furious.
"What?" I asked nearly falling out of my chair, "who're you going with?"
"Parvati … she asked me just after History of Magic."
Now Hermione looked hurt. "So you already have a date?"
"Yup! Is there a problem with that?"
"Nope!" Then getting an idea in her head she continued, "I was going to ask you, but if you're already going with Parvati—"
Cutting in Ron quickly said, "—that's okay! If you were going to ask me I'll cancel with Parvati."
"No! That's okay! It only shows how shallow you really are. " You can definitely tell Hermione was enjoying the look on Ron's face because as she kept talking Ron's mouth got wider and wider until it was as wide as it could possibly go. "Don't get me wrong … Parvati's a nice girl. But she's extremely pretty, and I know you wouldn't want to go with someone like me. So I will just step aside and let you go with Parvati. I'm sure you'd rather do that anyway. Besides it would make you look good. And the world knows that Ron Weasley is shallow."
My jaw dropped open as far as Ron's did. This was not going at all like I had planned. They were suppose to go together. Not the other way around. Things were getting messed up. I had to do something to stop this madness. But what could I do? Everything I try to come up with just seems to get worse.
Ron was absolutely speechless. He was petrified beyond all measures. Oh she was really good. Everytime Ron tries to get her attention she finds some way around it.
Before I knew what was happening Hermione turned on her heel and once again went up the stairs. She seemed to have some mind control over Ron. And it always happened in the Common Room.
"Why do bad things happen to me?" Ron asked frustrated.
"It doesn't! Bad things happen to me!" I replied.
"Well … you know what I mean. It's not fair! She can always tell what I am going to do next." He was getting angrier. "Well if she wants it that way then I'm going to play that game as well."
This was not going to be good for Ron, Hermione, or myself.
A/N: Thanks again for all the reviews. And I am so sorry I haven't written anything in a month. I was really busy. This time I made sure everything was spell checked so hopefully there is no grammatical errors. And next month I'm even going to be even busier. Well I love you all and please … please … please review.
