An Argument

Harry woke up the next morning to find Ron already gone from the dormitory. 'I don't get it. When he has to get early he doesn't and when he doesn't need to he does.' He thought to himself.

He walked down to the Great Hall to find him and Hermione sitting at the table next to each other aroused in an argument.

"You clean it up!"

"No you! It's your drink!"

"But you're the one who knocked it over! And on my brand new book I might add!" Hermione exclaimed.

"You and your books! I'm tired of it! Maybe you should get out and have some fun once and a while instead of constantly having you nose stuck in one of those things."

"And what do you call fun? Driving a flying car? Or maybe going into a forbidden corridor?"

"I've had enough!" Ron said loudly as he got up from the table. "How did we ever tolerate her? She's horrible! I'll see you in class Harry." Ron added as he walked passed Harry.

Harry walked around the table and sat across the table from Hermione, putting some breakfast on his plate.

"You would think he would know me by now. I mean, this is our seventh year knowing each other. He knows how I am about these things." Hermione said to Harry as she cleaned up the spilled drink before her. He could see that she had a glossy look in her eyes.

"I don't know Hermione. You two always have these fights, but everything always turns out fine. I'm sure this time is no different."

"I don't know. I'll see you in transfiguration Harry." And she got and quickly walked away, leaving Harry all alone. He, then looking down the table only to notice a group of 6th year girls, called, "Hey Ginny!" Ginny was quickly at his side, sitting very close.

"Oh, so you do remember me do ya?"

"Of course, how could I forget?" He said kissing her on the cheek.

"Hey, don't sweet talk me now. So what's going on? "She said leaning her head on Harry's shoulder. She had seen what happened between Ron and Hermione.

"Ron and Hermione just had another one of their fights. Hermione was pretty shookin up this time, which is very unusual for her."

"It is."

"All the feelings are starting to come through."

"They might just take care of this for is. We might not even need a plan at all."

"I don't know we'll just have to wait and see what happens."

"Yeah, I guess."

"We'll probably have to encourage them a little still. Especially Ron, and get him to ask Hermione to the ball still."

"Well, we have until February." Ginny said lifting her head and gazing at Harry.

"True."

"Ok, I have potions so I'm out of here, definatly don't want to be late. I'll talk to you later."

"Bye."

Harry then stood up and walked out of the Great Hall heading towards the grounds. He joined a group of students including Ron for the Care of Magical Creatures class. Hermione was not there for she had dropped the class her seventh year to make room for others. Harry and Ron on the other hand stayed with it, mainly so they could continue to see Hagrid, who was still teaching the class, more often.

"Hey Ron." Harry said pushing himself through the crowd to get to him.

"Hello Harry." Ron responded glumly.

"Ron, you can't keep doing this with Hermione if you ever want a chance with her in the future."

"Would you keep your voice down please! And she doesn't like me anyway. The feelings have to be both ways to work ya know Harry. I just don't like it when we're like this and I don't get to talk to her." Ron said looking around nervously to make sure nobody was listening.

"Well, the way you two fight you're already like a married couple."

"Yeah right. I don't want to talk about this anymore, Hagrid is about to start anyway."

"You can't avoid it forever Ron."

Ron didn't say anything else, only to leave Harry to wonder what his thoughts were. The time passed and the class was over. Ron and Harry walked together in silence to the transfiguration classroom where Hermione had already arrived.

All the seats were full as usual, except for two, one which was next to Neville and the other to Hermione. Harry quickly sat down next to Neville forcing Ron to sit at the other.

"This is a cruel thing to do mate." He whispered sitting himself at the desk next to Hermione movie his chair as close to the opposite end as possible. Harry smiled and shrugged his shoulders with the 'had to do it' expression on his face. Hermione acted as if nobody had occupied the chair next to her though she was fully aware, but in her mind she figured it was Harry.

"Harry can you- "Hermione started to say but when looking up to see who was next to her abruptly stopped looking back down at the book she was scanning through adding a quiet "oh".

"Good morning students. Today we..." Was all Ron heard of McGonagall's voice before he felt something hit his arm that was resting on the desk. One of Hermione's many rolls of parchment had rolled before being stopped by his arm of a barrier. She quickly grabbed the parchment and continued taking notes.

To Ron, that parchment had not seemed to roll to him on its own. He wondered if Hermione was trying to tell him something, but wasn't quite sure.

Class eventually ended and the trio walked silently to the Great Hall for lunch, Harry of course in the middle. They ate with the only noise being the crowd both at the Gryffindor and other house tables.

"I have to go do something before our next class. I'll catch up with you two later." Harry said as he put his fork down, rose, and walked away. He wasn't sure where he was going but he knew he should leave Ron and Hermione alone with each other and hope for the best.

A few minutes passed before Ron and Hermione stated in unison, "I'm sorry."

The smiled and continued their meals losing themselves in deep conversation with one another. They arrived in Defense Against the Dark Arts smiling and laughing together to find Harry already there.

"You did that on pupose didn't you?" Hermione said walking up to his desk.

"What?"

"Left the table."

"Yeah, I had to take care of something."

"And what would that 'something' be might I ask?"

"uhh..."

"Yeah, that's what I thought. But don't worry Harry. I won't hex you, you're off the hook this time."

"Ha-ha, very funny."

Hermione sat down gleefully, wondering why she was this happy about getting through another argument with Ron. 'We have them all the time, why is this time so different?' she thought. Class soon started, getting her away from these thoughts.

A/N: Well, there it is for ya. I know it's short but I hope you liked it. I will try to come up with something better soon. Now review!!!!
