Chappie 3.
Little Miss Flirty.

A massive thankyou to all my reviewers! You all rock! XD.

'Thank god its Friday night' Ron sighed sleepily, flopping himself down on the crimson faded lounge in the Common Room. Harry silently agreed with him on that one and sat down on the single sofa next to Ron. He threw a cushion at Ron's head to get his attention. It seemed to work because Ron turned around and sat up.

'Can I help you Potter?' Ron asked throwing the cushion back at him.

'Going to Hogsmeade tomorrow?'

'Erm, Dunno, if I can be bothered getting out of bed. Are you going?'

'Yeh I am. I asked Gin, hope you don't mind. Of course you won't you'll be able to spend quality time with your lover.' Harry smirked.

'I don't mind at all... And can I ask, for the records, which lover are we talking about?'

'Well, how many you got?'

'Wouldn't you like to know...'

'Actually no... I don't wanna know why you've turned into such a randy twat lately.'

Ron laughed 'I'm not randy, what gave you that idea? And what lovers? I don't have any.'

'You do have a lover. Our precious Hermio-' He was cut off by the Portrait Door swinging open and Hermione and Ginny walking in, both faces red from the cold.

'Why am I so precious?' Hermione asked sweetly, stopping at the end of the lounge. Harry looked at Ron, winked then looked back at Hermione.

'Because your Ron's lover' Harry said, watching Ron's reaction in the corner of his right eye. To Harry's surprise, Ron wasn't embarrassed about this. If Harry said this last year, Ron would have gone red as soon as Hermione walked in. But not this year. He'd definitely changed a lot!

Hermione walked over to Ron, sat next to him and put a hand on his shoulder,

'I keep telling you Ronald. You wish.'
Ginny went and sat on the arm of Harry's chair. Harry put a supporting hand on her back. Ginny felt warmth grow through her body at the touch of Harry's hand on her back. Harry sub-consciously started to rub his hand up and down her back. Ron and Hermione didn't seem to mind, they didn't realise what was going on. They were hitting each other on the legs. Ginny looked at Harry and rolled her eyes.

'Let's go upstairs,' she mouth to him, 'I wanna talk to you.' Harry nodded, stood up and announced that they were going to bed. Hermione and Ron looked up and smiled. They both bid goodnight in unison.
Once Harry and Ginny walked away, the slapping started to die down, Hermione's left leg glowing red.

'Ron, you are such a bitch. Look at my leg. I'm going to have to wear pants tomorrow to cover up my brutal beatings. You're lucky Madame Pomfrey doesn't come down here and tackle you for bashing my newly recovered leg.'

'Aww poor diddums. My little Peanut... Come here.. .'

Hermione shuffled closer to him -if it was possible-. Ron wrapped an arm around her shoulders. Her head went into the crook of his neck, and his chin on her head.

'There there... Everything's going to be ok.' He laughed. Hermione laughed along then pushed herself up off his chest.

'You're such a prat Ron.'

'I do it cause I care. There shall be no need for Madame Pomfrey to come batter me now.' He put a hand on her thigh that he was slapping earlier. He rubbed it softly, easing the pain slowly.

'Better?' he asked sweetly once he took his hand away from her leg. Hermione looked up at him, brushed a lock of hair that had fallen into his eyes out of the way and smiled.

'Much better, thankyou very much Sir Ron..' she said, now standing up on the lounge, her fist in a ball and to her chest, 'My brave knight come to rescue my leg of the searing pain from the deadly beating of his own hand.' Ron looked up at her and laughed; he wrapped his arms around her knees and pulled her down. Hermione squealed and wrapped her arms around Ron's neck. They both fell down on the lounge, Ron's head now lying on her lower stomach and her hands running through his hair. Ron looked up at her,

'Hey Mione?'

'Mmm..?'
'Wanna go to Hogsmeade with me tomorrow? You know, just as mates of course.'
'What else would we go as?'
'Lovers of course. We could be one of those romantic couples that walk around holding hands and smooching every chance they get.' He made a kissing sound with his lips and laughed. Hermione flicked him in the forehead.

'Ron, you dick. I would love to go to Hogsmeade with you tomorrow, you know just as mates of course,' she mimicked teasingly. Her face softened, and she held onto Ron's head with her hands as she sat up properly and crossed her legs, his head now resting in her lap.

'Ron, I never did thankyou for this week.'

'What for?'

'Helping me around the school when I was on crutches. You didn't have to carry my bag and books around for me all week, I could have done it myself, like I told you in the Hospital Wing.'
'Hermione, there is no need to thank me. You my best friend in the whole wide world and I would do anything to help you. You know that, I've told you that a million times already.'

Hermione smiled at him. She leant down and gave him a quick hug. Then she stood up and stretched out her arms and legs.

'Well.. Now that I'm going somewhere tomorrow, I better get to bed and get my much needed beauty sleep.'

'You don't need beauty sleep Mione, your beautiful enough already.' Hermione blushed slightly. She leant down and gave Ron a kiss on the cheek.

'Night Ron.'
'Night Peanut.'
Hermione walked up the Girls Dormitory stairs and shut the door. When she got in, she saw Ginny sitting on her bed.
'Gin, what are you doing here?' she asked, walking over to her.

'Waiting for you Little Miss Flirty' Ginny said teasingly. She shuffled over on the bed, making room for Hermione to sit.
'I'm not Little Miss Flirty!' Hermione exclaimed pulling off her cloak and throwing it aside. Ginny looked at her with a raised eyebrow.

'Right... And I'm the Ministry of Magic.'

'Well, you could be for all we know. Any who, off the subject of me, what did you and Harry get up to?' Hermione asked, unzipping her skirt, letting it fall on the floor and then sliding her pyjama bottoms on.

'That if for me to know and you to find out,' Ginny said with a wink, 'Nah, we didn't get up to anything we just came up here and talked forever. Mainly about Quidditch really, and about Sirius' she sighed and looked down at her hands. Harry was so lost without him, he was still grieving just not as much as when it happened. The only person he could turn to for comfort was Ginny. She seemed to be the only one to understand how he was feeling. She shook her head of their conversation earlier and continued, 'Then we talked about going to Hogsmeade tomorrow. Are you going by the way?'
'Yes I am actually. Ron asked me just before I came to bed.' She said matter-of-factly. She unbuttoned her shirt and tossed it aside, now just standing there in her bra. Ginny handed her her singlet pyjama top. Hermione took it, turned around and continued, ''I said yes, then I came up here cause I need my beauty sleep'. She unclasped her bra with one hand, then pulled her top on over her head.

'Hermione, you don't need beauty sleep, trust me..' Ginny said as if Hermione was stupid. Hermione slid underneath the covers of her bed and rested her head on her mass pile of pillows. 'That's what Ron said too.' Closing her eyes, she felt Ginny crawl underneath the covers with her and giggle, 'Ron said that? Well well well, are you keeping something from me Hermione?' Hermione pushed Ginny playfully under the covers

'Sod off Gin. I'm not hiding anything' she said, her mouth twitching at the sides, wanting to smile. 'Sleeping in here again tonight Gin?' she asked.

'Yeh, if you don't mind?' Ginny asked looking at Hermione, then closing her eyes herself and making herself comfortable.
'Not at all darlin.'' Hermione said in barely then a whisper. With that, they both fell into a deep sleep.
