Chapter 3: The Brawny's Troubles

"Hermione," said Harry holding her hands tight and his eyes fixed with hers.

"Yes Harry," she answered staring straight into his beautiful green eyes.

"I... I don't know how to say this but…"

"Harry? You alright?" whispered Hermione in the middle of Professor McGonagall's transfiguration class.

"What, oh, yeah I'm fine."

"You were day dreaming weren't you?"

"Sorry I can't help it the lecture part of Transfiguration is boring."

"Harry, we have a test tomorrow over this stuff!" whispered Hermione sounding very panicked.

"Oh, that would be nice information to know before I start day dreaming."

"You were all weird, you had this really happy look on your face and your eyes were all, well, googley. Who were you having fantasies about?" asked Hermione sarcastically.

"Tell her you idiot! How bad could it be to tell her?"

"We can't tell her yet! It will ruin everything!"

"No it won't TELL HER!"

"Hermione, I need to tell you something."

"What is it?"

"Er… I …er…"

"POTTER! That is quite enough talking." Scolded Professor McGonagall.

"Sorry Professor."

"That is okay Potter, now we can continue our lesson on transfiguring one self. With no interruptions I expect…"

Lavender Brown ran top speed down the corridors of Hogwarts hoping to find Ron. When the bell rang for afternoon classes to be over this task became much more difficult then anticipated.

"Ron!" she yelled when she saw his burning red head bob out of the dungeons entrance. "Ron I found out! RON! You won't believe it!" screamed Lavender excitedly, still scanning the corridor for where Ron had gone.

"You found out what exactly?" asked the bushy brown haired seventh year, which was Hermione, from behind.

"Oh it's nothing just a little game Ron and I were playing." Lavender lied.

"Oh… I see, is this why Ron keeps leaving dinner early?"

"He hasn't told you yet! Wow I would have expected him to tell his best friends way before now. I guess you are going to have to hear it from me, me and Ron have been going out for about two years.

"Oh, that makes perfect sense." She said noticing a glint off of Lavender's hand. "Lavender where did you get that ring it is beautiful."

"Oh, Ron gave it to me about an hour ago. He said it was a promise ring and a fake diomand, but no one has to know that right." She said with a wink. Out of the corner of her eye she saw the flash of red hair.

"Ron I have been looking for you for ages!" she said as he spun around to greet her.

"Hello beautiful." He said as he walked toward her, not noticing Hermione.

"Hi Ron."

"Oh hey Hermione how are you?"

"Fine."

"That is good."

"Yeah well I got to get going Harry wanted some help with potions wile we didn't have any classes."

"Alright I'll see you later then?"

"Of course Ron." Said Hermione before departing to find Harry and an empty classroom for them to practice making a vetitaserum potion.

"So Lavender what have you done for the past hour that we have been apart?"

"I found out Ron! You won't believe it! Hermione likes…"

"All students report to the great hall immediately." Said the magically magnified voice of the headmaster of Hogwarts, Albus Dumbledore.

"What do you suppose that was all about?" asked Ron as he and Lavender held hands on their way to the great hall.

"No idea. But nothing has happened with You-Know-Who yet, and you know how every school year has been so far." Said Lavender.'

As they neared the entrance Lavender whispered in Ron's ear…

"What I was trying to tell you was that Hermione likes Harry!"
