Here is chapter 4

"Ron I'm getting really dizzy." Said Hermione who was being twirled around by the finger of Ron.

"Uhh…umm sorry Mione."

"It's alright. Hey lets go for a walk."

"Yeah ok. Shall we." Ron said and he put his arm out for Hermione to hold.

"Ron? Hello earth to Ron?" said Harry.

"What? Ooh I better get up." Said Ron yawning.

"Yeah I think you should."

In the Common Room

Hermione was chatting to Ginny, when Harry giving Ginny a morning hug interrupted her.

"Guys, is there something going on between you to?" She asked.

"No! Why?" Both Harry and Ginny said at the same time.

"Just asking." Hermione said and glanced at Ron who was staring at her. "Morning Ron."

"Morning. Lets go down to breakfast, come on."

"Ok, coming you two?" Hermione said.

"Yeah." Harry said who was actually red in the face.

In the Great Hall

(The seating arrangements in the Great Hall followed by this- Ginny and Harry were opposite of Ron and Hermione.)

Hermione was going to ask everybody what they had, except she only asked Ron because Harry and Ginny were talking, each going red in the face.

"Hey Ron what do we have?"

"I think we…have…Potions! What!"

"Err…Professor Snape." Said Hermione getting a shiver.

"Harry come on we gotta go." Said Ron.

"What! Ooh, bye Ginny." Said Harry.

"See Ya."

"Harry seriously is there something going on between you and Ginny?" asked Ron.

"No Ron!"

"Uhh Harry do you fancy her?"

"Well…uhh…kind of yeah. Don't you dare tell her!"

"I knew it!" screamed Hermione. And everyone looked at her, she went red.

Both Ron and Harry laughed the whole way down to potions.

"Everybody be seated." Said Professor Snape in his usual tone. "All of you shall now be experts at all the easy potions that we have done in much earlier years. If not, then you are to come back for a detention tonight, understand?"

The whole class nodded.

"Well I am going to be testing you on these potions with the partner who I pair up with you. Malfoy you will be with Granger, Crabbe will be with Wesley, Potter with Goyle, Pansy with…..(you get the idea)

Ron, Harry and Hermione all looked at each other sadly, then aparted from one another.

"Hello Granger." Said Malfoy, but Hermione ignored him. "I said hi to you mud blood."

"Don't call me a mud blood." Said Hermione very quietly.

"What did you say?"

"I said- DON'T CALL ME A MUD BLOOD!" said Hermione and she kicked Malfoy in the shins very hard. Ron was watching the whole thing and was tempted to go over and help her, but Professor Snape was walking over to them.

"What is happening here, Malfoy explain please."

"Hermione started calling me names, then I said very nicely to her to shove off! Then she kicks me in the shin!"

"Granger, 30 points from Gryffindor and detention with me tomorrow night, understand?" asked Professor Snape.

"No!" said Ron coming over and facing Snape. "She doesn't deserve this, Malfoy's a lying git!"

"Excuse me Wesley what did you just say?" asked Snape.

"I said that Malfoy is a lying git!" said Ron who was red in face and didn't care if he got a detention. At the moment he was sticking up for his dear friend.

"Wesley you will have detention with me and Granger tomorrow night at 7pm, and you will also get 50 points taken off you."

Harry was standing there not knowing what to do.

"Now get back to work, or you will both receive a months worth!"

Ron looked at Hermione, who was red in the face. She glanced at Ron and what he could see; she had tears in her eyes. He just wanted to go over there and comfort her, but he couldn't.

On the way to Lunch

There was silence for a couple of minutes then Ginny came over.

"Hey Ginny."

"Hey Harry. Hey guys." She said. Harry looked at Ron and Hermione and decided that he and Ginny should let them talk alone. "Ron, Hermione me and Ginny are just going to go and see Luna, ok?"

"We are?" asked Ginny, but was quieted by Harry. "Yes we are, see you both later."

"Bye" said Ron.

"Ron." "Hermione" they both said each other's name at the same time.

"You go first Hermione."

"Ok, umm Ron why did you get yourself into trouble just by sticking up for me?"

"Hermione I want to stick up for my friends, and you're my best friend so I do more than just stick up for you. I even can get into trouble for it too."

Hermione just looked at him- That was a very sweet thing to say, he is really growing up now!

"Well thank you then, for sticking up for me." She said smiling, and she kissed his check very softly but made Ron blush red.

Ron smiled back and said "Uhh…your welcome mione."

They both had smiles on their face the whole way down to Lunch in the Great Hall. When they got there they saw Harry and Ginny both sitting next to each other again talking, both Ron and Hermione gave each other a look of happiness, and sat down.

"Hi you two." Said Harry.

"Hey Harry, and Ginny." Said Ron.

"Have you two sorted out your problems?" asked Ginny, who obviously was told by Harry of what had happened.

"Yes." Said Hermione smiling at Ron.

"Ron, what's that red mark on your cheek?" asked Harry.

"What? Uhh…I don't have any red mark on my cheek it's probably just my red face again, you know." Hermione giggled at this statement he made, of not wanting to tell Harry she kissed his cheek.
