Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter. If I did, would I be writing Fan Fiction?

Author's Note: Hey thanks to Melissa my best friend. I had a lot of help from her. Oh I put the prologue and Chapter One together since the prologue is so short. This is a mostly R/Hr fic, but there's also some H/G in later chapters so don't flip.

Prologue:

Hermione and Ron left Harry talking to Ginny. This is what Harry wanted. Little known to Ginny, Harry was going to finally ask her out. So, Ron and Hermione walked toward to gate alone. This is it I'm going to ask her. Ron had been in love with Hermione for five years now. Ever since their second year. Yet, he never got up the courage to talk to her but today was the day. They were going to be living together in Harry's new house, or Mansion more like, and he wanted to have Hermione to himself.

He had been walking ahead of her for sometime and turned to face her, but she wasn't there. He franticly searched the station and saw her with the last guy he thought he'd ever see her standing with, Malfoy. What is she doing with him?

As his brain tried to register what was going on, Harry and Ginny who were through talking (she had eagerly accepted) and were on their way to tell Ron and Hermione their happy news. When Harry and Ginny finally reached Ron, Harry opened his mouth to say something but before he could Ron pointed a finger to Hermione. Harry's mouth, too, dropped open as Hermione snuggled her obviously new boyfriend, but Ginny, however, seemed completely normal.

"Did you know about this?" Ron finally blurted out. Ginny looked into his eyes and could tell he was serious. She could sense that he was desperate for answers.

She looked him strait in the eye and said, "Yes, I knew, she told me they were going out two weeks ago."

Ron was stunned; he didn't think she would get another boyfriend this fast. So what if it had been three years since Krum! He knew he had to take action, and fast. He narrowed his eyes on Malfoy and marched over to him.

Malfoy turned from Hermione only to see Ron coming to face him. What does he want?

Malfoy opened his mouth but before anything smooth could come out of it, Ron's fist sliced though the air and collided with it. Malfoy stumbled backward and hit the ground.

"Ronald! What in the world are you doing?" Ron spun around at the sound of his angel's voice.

"Hermione- I- you- and him- I thought" While Ron was trying to string two words together; Hermione had bent down to Malfoy's level and was stroking his platinum blond hair. Finally Ron had managed to fix his mouth "What are you doing with him? Why didn't you tell me or Harry" Ron yelled. People on the platform were starting to stare.

"What now I have to ask you who I can date?" was Hermione's response. Tears were starting to brim in her eyes. How can he do this to me? Every one is looking at us. Why isn't Draco helping me?

"Yes! You do!" Ron's face was beginning to turn purple. Wait Ron you fool shut your mouth before you really hurt her!

"You can't tell me who to love Ron Weasley" Her tears were no longer in her eyes but steaming down her face.

"You watch me! That snake doesn't love you and you're an idiot if you think he does! So you go to Harry's house now!" Oh crap, now I'm done for. Ron you're an idiot now you're going to get grief from Harry, Ginny, and Mum.

Now everyone in the station was looking at them. Hermione looked at Ginny who nodded. And walked off the platform with her.

"Come on Ron lets go to my place." Harry said in a we-need-to-talk voice. And with that they grabbed their trunks and disapparated to Harry's place.

Chapter 1

Ron Weasley again checked his reflection in the mirror. He had been in the bathroom all day just looking at himself trying to figure out what charm he could do to make himself more handsome, dashing, or any thing Hermione saw in Malfoy. What did Harry mean she moved on?

As Ron tried to flatten down the mess that his hair had become, his thoughts drifted to the conversation he had with Harry…

Flashback

After apparating to Harry's room, they sat down on the bed and looked at each other. After a while Harry looked into Ron's deep blue eyes. His eyes are so pretty. Um…never mind. Harry thought"Ron I need to tell you something."

"What!" Ron yelled showing that he was still upset about Hermione's reaction to his help just moments before.

"I… um… kind of already knew about Hermione and Draco." Harry mumbled looking down.

"You what!" Ron screamed, "You knew and didn't tell me! Why are you calling him Draco? You're my best friend why didn't you tell me about this?"

"Because we knew what your reaction was going to be. Hermione didn't want to hurt you."

"How long have you known?" Ron said his voice starting to calm.

"Since the Hogsmeade Valentines trip." Harry said. "Hermione loved you for a long time. She didn't think you did. She is just trying to move on, maybe you should do the same."

"Don't ever say that Harry." Ron hissed, "I love her and will love her forever."

End of Flashback

What did he mean "move on"? How can he even say something like that?

"Still in here mate?" Harry interrupted his thoughts. Ron's jump made Harry uneasy. "Ron, we start our Auror training in September. You need to start opening your scenes."

Ron glared at Harry's reflection. He was ready to become an Auror, he just had his mind on other things right now. Besides not every one could be as open as the great Harry Potter. Wait what was he saying, he was being immature. He knew he would never be as good as Harry. But Harry did say Hermione liked him so that had to amount to something. Maybe if he worked hard, he could win her heart.

He could see her now. Her sleek figure, tiny frame, frizzy brown hair, chocolate eyes, and her beautiful mouth. He could almost hear her calling to him. "Ron… Ron…" wait when did Hermione start sounding like Harry? Oh wait, that was Harry. "What?" Ron finally answered in an annoyed tone.

"Come on, Mate it's late lets get some rest." Harry turned to walk away but Ron didn't follow. How could he win Hermione? Be dashing? Be daring? Be everything he wasn't? He didn't know what to do.

Wait! I'll write to Ginny! She's like Hermione's best friend, she'll know what to do! So he went into the hall of his fourth floor and into his Chudley Cannons bedroom. He sat down with some parchment in front of him and thought of what he could write. "Oh man I'll have to wait till morning to send this. Ginny isn't going to like having you tapping on her window in the middle of the night." Ron shared with his little owl who hooted in reply.

CRACK! Ginny finally apparated into Hermione's room. She walked over to Hermione's bed and sat down. Hermione sat there cross legged with a pillow in her lap. "You really should have told him. But you already know that, don't you?"

A single tear leaked from Hermione's eye as she nodded. "What did you tell your mum to let you out past midnight?" Hermione asked trying to change the subject.

"Oh no, no, no, no. You aren't getting out of this that easily. You said that you would tell him, what happened?"

At that moment Hermione burst into tears. "I just couldn't! I love him too much!"

"That's not an excuse! If you loved him you would have told him, not break his heart at the last minute! Procrastinating isn't something you do Hermione. And frankly, I'm disappointed in you."

"And what was I supposed to do? Just walk up to him and say 'hey I'm dating Draco Malfoy your sworn enemy! Hope your Ok with that, bye'" she started sobbing again.

"No of course not, but he should have known." Ginny soothed.

"Don't you think I wanted to tell him! Do you know how hard it is keeping something this important from the one you love?" she squeaked and cried.

"Well…"

"No you don't" Hermione didn't mean to scream that last part, but she was angry!

"Your right I don't" Ginny then looked down, reached into her backpack, and pulled out a small box. "Now Hermione I think its time for some therapy."

"W-what do you mean" Hermione whimpered.

Ginny only said two words and Hermione's face lit up. "Chocolate Frogs"
