The Midnight Ball

A/N- Even though I said I was going to stop this story, I reread it and decided to continue a little more. I would love to thank all who reviewed but I don't want to get stuck with writers block again!

Chapter 6 – Trying to stay away

'Why did I just say that?' Hermione scolded herself as she walked away from the Great Hall. 'I love Ron, and Harry. Ernie screwed me for life, but Ron would be most likely the only guy I could ever trust, but after the incident with the bathtub, I don't know if I could handle it. I just need to think'

Hermione walked over to the lake, since she still had about a half an hour before Arithmancy. Luckily, she wouldn't have to see Harry or Ron until Herbology. She just needed to think about the situation, because it had only been about 3 weeks since they were back at Hogwarts.

Ron and Harry walked early to Divination so they could talk and were trying to figure out Hermione.

"She was flirting, even talking about the ball and now she is blowing us off?" Ron cried in frustration.

"Yea, she flirted quite a bit, but last night was interesting and I think she just needs some time to herself. You know how girls are, with Ginny and all" Harry replied.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOo TRELAWNEY! ugh…

Hermione was walking from Arithmancy when she ran into Malfoy. He shoved her out of the way and ran to someone who was lying on the floor past her Arithmancy class.

Being a worrywart about other people, Hermione rushed over to where Malfoy stood hunched over.

A pale Pansy Parkinson was crying in a very dark corner, quietly. Hermione took a quick look and decided she didn't want anything to do with the relationship between those two.

As she walked away, Pansy called back to her, "Hermione! T-t-ell Draco h-he is horrible for telling me I looked better blonde!" She sniffled.

Hermione ran, for she did not want to deal with that girl right now.

Hermione saw Ron and Harry and she walked into class ahead of them.

They looked at each other and shrugged, thinking it was just a girl thing.

During class, Hermione wrote a note to Ron:

Dear Ron,

I know I may seem distant for the next few days, but I need to sort myself out. Just don't worry about it, I will still take notes for you and I don't hate either of you. I just have some mumbo-jumbo in my mind and I need to sort it all out. I am sorry in advance if I am acting horrible to you, as in ignore you, walking ahead of you, etc. Really, I just need to be alone. If you want to talk, I will be ready soon and I will tell you. Tell all of this to Harry too.

Much Love xoxo

Hermione

After class Hermione gave the note to Ron along with the notes she had taken during class.

"Bloody hell Harry she is just having alone time, and we thought it was something more serious!" Ron exclaimed.

"No, I knew that's all it was, you thought it was something different." Harry calmly replied to his thick friend.

"Oh." Ron sighed.

Later that night Hermione was in the Owlery just looking at the beauty of their wings when the door opened.

In walked Ron.

He didn't seem to notice her, for she was sitting inn the back, away from the door. Ron didn't have any animal with him, he jut walked to the window and looked outside.

"Ahem" Hermione made it clear she was there, but Ron seemed to be in a daze.

"What?" Ron turned around and jumped to see her standing 2 metres away from him. "Oh, Mione, its you, I thought it might have been someone else, but I amgladitsyoubecauseithinkweshouldtalkboutnottalkingifyouknowhwatimean" (A/n that was: I am glad its you because I think we should talk about not talking if you know what I mean, just in case you couldn't read it! .)

"What, Ron, I didn't understand a word you said" Hermione replied irritably.

"Well, Mione, I am tired so I think I will go to bed so you can get your alone time." Ron lied sheepishly and walked out of the room before Hermione could say anything.

Since she was not tired yet, it was still around 9, and she was permitted to be out later, she went to the pool when she saw someone skipping rocks.

A/N—That was hard to write because I was making it all up because I just got some more FUN writers block, so I will update later, please review! Flames rock, so you can flame!
