Her friends just sat and talked not noticing Hermione dazing off and completely stressing out..

'Oh god..What have I done? There is NO way I'm goin to-' her thoughts interrupted by a familiar voice

"Hey you,"a cute boy flirted toward Herm

"What do u want Ron? Cant you tell I'm with MY friends..God You're so weird," Ginny yelled annoyed

"Umm..I wasn't talking to you..actually uhm Hermione is it? I was wondering if I could talk to you for a sec.?" Ron said looking very nervous and his face is red as his hair.

Ron, she sighed, that's his name..Ronald..Ronald…Wait Weasley? Ron Weasly? Ginny's older brother? Man he has changed over the summer…for the best…very best..

"no u cant talk to her she's my—" Ginny started

"yea sure," Hermione said smiling not noticing the glares Rachael and Ginny was giving her.

They walked out of the lunchroom into the by them selves.

Her heart was racing. 'I wonder if he can hear it. How can I have a crush on my best friend's brother and I thought I liked Tyler' tyler only bout 90 of the female population felt the same way herm did.

"hermione? Hello?" Ron said waving his hands in front of her face.

"Oh yes..Sorry. I cant zoomed out..Sorry bout that. What did you want to talk bout?" she said daring to look into his eyes. She was melting right there. 'He must like me or at least think im cute- Right? Isnt that what Ginny said? Oh god Ginny.She's going to kill me and him for that matter.'

"…So actually I was wondering if I could just ask you a question really?" Ron said taking a step forward toward her.

'Oh my gosh. I Wonder if he's going to ask me to the yule ball. I mean it is coming up and it is a strange way how he's acting.'

"Sure." She said confidently smiling. She began laughing inside. 'They said find a date..they didn't say who. I got them there' she thought

"Ok. Well its kind of embarresing ask you this. Because I mean we really don't know eachother that well but you seem nice," Ron stumbbed. 'He cant even talk right, yes he likes me. Ginny I'm betting you hate teaching me all those tricks and hints on dating now.' She thought.

"Go on," she said bravely smiling

"Well.." Ron started but was intruped by the lunch bell.

"oh crap. That's the bell.. We'll talk before Potions ok?" Ron yelled as he ran toward his class.

"Bad timing damn bell," Hermione said annoyed.

'was he going to ask her to the ball? He had to. I mean he was so nervous and they flirted a bit. Or is it?' her mind began to wonder. And then ran to class.
