Ron and Hermione

Hermione was a lovely shade of red when Harry poked her side. His eyes shown with slight amusement and he trying to hold in a slight laugh. " So are you two, well you know…"

" No"

"Why not it's obvious you like him too!" Harry almost screams in Great Hall. Almost all of the Gryffindor table turned and stared at them. Hermione turned a deeper red that would have rivaled a Weasley and shielded her face from the gazing crowed.

"Well he hates me now I wouldn't blame him after the way I acted." She mumbled so the rest of her house wouldn't hear.

" What happened?" Harry whispered.

" I acted the like the stupid prat I am and ran away" she poked her food with her fork as she spoke.

"Well go find him if you really like him you can make it up." He said pulling the fork from her fiddling hands. She didn't pay attention to what he was saying and pulled the fork back.

"I mean when some one pins you to a wall and kisses up and down your neck what should you do. I guess not run right…" She mumbled and sighed still looking blankly at the plate in front of her. Harry laughed loudly and smiled.

"I can't believe him, that's what Ginny suggested!" he yelled again started to laugh again.

" I should hex all of you in to next year" she said glare at Harry then at Neville. She turned her burning gaze over to Ginny down at the other end of the table. Ginny smiled and waved then went back to her conversation with Dean.

"I'm guessing this is not time to ask for help on my potions essay is it?" Neville asked and then leaned back hoping not to get smacked.

"Not really Nev" Hermione said rolling her eyes.

" I still think you should try and find him you know" Harry mumbled.

"I don't know where he is." She said, her voice was sad and low. Harry pulled out the Map and handed it to her. He smiled at her and she knew what was going on in his mind. "I don't know what to say Harry" Harry looked a little shocked for the first time in the 6 years he had known her she had no solution to a problem.

"You know everything just say what come to mind like, start with how you feel"

"But he must hate me and I don't know where to even start" She said getting teary eyed. Harry opened the Map and smiled.

"Looks like he's in his dorm go find him…Try" He said handing the map back and gave her a little push.

" I can't do this Harry" She said getting up.

" An why not, your Hermione Granger the smartest witch in Hogwarts!" He said walk with her to the door.

" I don't know that to tell him!"

"Fine, but I'm going to see how he's doing, if you don't go talk to Ron I will" He stood at the door.

" Harry I don't know what to stay to him" She said getting worried that she would say something wrong.

" You'll think of some thing!" He said pushing her out the door and he took a seat next to Ginny and kissed her cheek.

Hermione walked slowly down the dark halls of Hogwarts back to Gryffindor Common Room. She softly spoke the password and stepped in. She stood in silence at the base of the stairs that wound their wait to the boy's dormitory. She took a deep breath and pulled in all her courage as she placed her foot on the first step. Each step she took became a little harder still she stood still at the door. " I can do this" she mumbled to herself. She knocked softly and waited what seemed like an eternity for an answer.

" Come in." It was Ron's voice and her heart jump out of her chest.

" Ron?" She asked opening the door slowly. It creaked and groaned as she pushed it and stepped in to the dim room.

" 'Mione what's up" He said avoiding eye contact.

" I think you know Ron." She said walking closer to his bed.

" No I don't, so what's up" he lied.

"Come on Ron you know what I'm talking about" She said getting aggravated.

" Ok so maybe I do. Have a seat." He said patting the seat next to him. She sat down carefully and folded her shaking hands in her lap.

" We need to talk Ron." She said biting on her bottom lip. "Why...why did you do that in the hall?" She said swallowing hard.

" I thought I made it clear in the hall."

" No, not really Ronald." She said. He winced slightly when she said his full name. He knew nothing good came out of his full name, he had learned that from years with his mother.

"I love you Hermione and this isn't some little elf crush either" He watched the tears form in her eyes.

" For how long?"

" Harry says since 2nd year but I realized what it was our fourth year." He still wouldn't meet her gaze and he could almost feel the warmth of her skin through her sleeves.

" When?"

"Had a lot of time to think underwater you know and with Vicktor" He smiled slightly and then grew quiet again.

"At Yule ball?" She said leaning closer so he would look her in the eye.

"A little before but I was a bit nervous"

" Why didn't you say any thing?" She exclaimed.

" I did out in the hall but you ran." He flat out stated with a hint of angry in his voice. Hermione pulled away from him.

"Did you know that every one in Gryffindor Tower knows and most likely every one else!" she yelled and then paused. " I mean why didn't you tell me earlier?"

" Really? Every one? I'm going to kill Harry!"

" I wouldn't blame it all on Harry." She said trying to calm him

" And why shouldn't I?"

"Because Harry said they every one could tell even though no one said any thing"

" Oh I see"

" So why didn't you say any thing?" she said placing her hand on his. The both blushed and she withdrew her hand.

" I was too afraid but now you've seen me naked I kinda was like well I don't know it gave me courage?" he stammered with his word and he tried so hard to blush.

"I still don't see why you kept it from me" She started to cry again.

"I was afraid. I love you Hermione." He turned away.

" I know Ron" she blushed and then there was a long deep pause. The room fell silent and all you could hear was their breathing. " I… I love you too Ronald Arthur Weasley."
