A/N: I have returned! I was having a bit of writers block to shake off for a few days there, but here am again! Yay! So, I have just finished rereading HP and OotP to refresh my memory for the up and coming Half Blood Prince! Who else here is positively shaking with anticipation? I know I am!

Sara and her Pinkys: Thank you for the complement! I'm glad this story is getting positive feedback! Oh, yes, and wasn't Ron's song ever so swoon-worthy? Hehe, jk!

Rupertsgrl479: Well, someone thought this chapter was good! I thought it quite fitting for Ron to rename his dorm his studio, otherwise, the transformation would not have been complete! Haha! And yeah, it would be pretty sweet if we could talk through the computers! Besides im I mean.

K9 and Co: Ummm...thank you?

Today would begin the plan. Not tomorrow, or the day after, or the day after that, or even-ok, so Hermione was becoming extremely excited at the prospect of her secret plan, but heck, this could mean the end of Paul forever! And maybe even the beginning of something more...

As Hermione woke to a cloudy sky and rain droplets pelting the exterior of the windows, she took it for nothing. Today was more than rain and cloudy skies.

She dressed quickly, and grabbing her bag, took off running for the common room, determined to get to breakfast before her male comrades. Her bag, however, had different plans. Plainly deciding it could no longer shoulder Hermione's twelve school textbooks, and her quills and ink, and her other fourteen-million educational devices, it split right down the seem. Spilling ink all over herself as it shattered on the stairwell, Hermione shrieked.

"It's ok." she soothed, "Stuff like this happens all the time, I just need to relax." and walking the rest of the way downstairs after cleaning up her books and other things, she quietly made it to breakfast, just in time.

Hermione discreetly finished her spell work on Ron's seat as her two best friends made their way towards her some ten minutes later. She sat down quickly, as not to look suspicious, and flagged them over. "Over here guys!"

Harry and Ron looked at each other with a look as if to say "Like-we-didn't-know-to-sit-down-by-you-we-do-it-every-day!" and slowly approached Hermione.

Harry made to sit down on Hermione's right, but Hermione gave a sudden loud squeak and pushed Harry. "That seats for Ron!" she said loudly, glancing at Ron and motioning for him to sit down.

"Ok..." said Harry, and he went to sit on her left. Ron gave Hermione a suspicious look, but sat down anyways, and all were soon in a deep merry discussion.

About half-way through the meal, however, Ron became very sleepy, and suddenly banged his head down on the table, snoring loudly and drooling slightly out of the corner of his mouth.

"Ron, Ron!" said Harry, shaking Ron. In Harry's attempt at waking the deeply sleeping Ron, he seemed to have forgotten the suspicious motives of Hermione's seating arrangement.

"Uh, Harry, I forgot..I have to go get my...charms notes..." and Hermione quickly got up and ran for the exit.

"Wait!" called Harry, "What about Ron!" Shaking his head, a grumpy, grumbling Harry set off for the common room while supporting a very unconscious Ron. "Wait..." Harry said suddenly stopping half-way to the common room, "we don't have charms today." and with renewed vigor, Harry set off again to the common room, this time with a different goal in mind.

Hermione quickly ran up the boys stairs, thanking the founders for trusting girls more than boys so she could enter the boys dorms unknown. She did only have 5 minutes till Ron woke up. Finding the door marked "7th years" she opened the door quietly and entered. Seeing, however, that the room was in a horrid state that looked as though a tornado had passed through, she did a few "scourgify" spells and now picked her way through the neat and tidy room.

She soon found Ron's bed, and pulled the drapes open, to reveal a glimmering Paul. Hermione's eyes lit up at the prospect to rid of the offending instrument, and stole a glance around one more time to make sure no one was there. She stuck out her hand greedily as though it would disappear, but just as fast, pulled back as though burned.

"I should've known he'd put a security charm on it!" cursed Hermione, but being such a brilliant mind, she suddenly thought of a plan. With a jerky movement of her wand, the security shield was lowered.

Hermione slowly reached out and picked up the guitar, holding it as if glass. "Finally..." she whispered, and with a slow measured speed, she set Paul back down, prepared her wand, and started to recite, "K-"

"Nooo!" shouted Ron as he and Harry sprinted into the room. Hermione jumped into the air at the sudden outburst and hearing Ron's voice after only 3 mintues, and slowly turned around, dreading what she already knew was there.

"Hermione, what? Why-?" Ron looked at Hermione, arms limp at his sides, looking hurt beyond words. "Why would you...?"

"Ron, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean..well, yes, but...please..." Hermione trailed off sadly, guilt and shame filling her every bone and nerve, and tears filling her eyes. Ron's expression soon changed to one of anger and he glared at her coldly.

"Get out." he said, and turned his back on her, refusing to look.

"Ron, please..." Hermione whispered, and reached out to touch Ron.

"Don't touch me!" he roared, and Hermione began to sob as she fled from the room.

"Ron, mate, maybe you were just a bit to hard on-"Harry attempted to say.

"No, she deserved it." Ron said, but sounded a bit more reserved, as though rethinking what had just happened and maybe even feeling the slightest bit guilty.

A/N: There it is! I hope you like it, as the drama begins. It may be a bit corny, Ron getting so upset over a guitar, but it was really special to him, so yeah...I think I'm planning on 6 chapters, but if there are more reviews than maybe I will add an epilogue. We'll see, we'll see. Now, please, REVIEW!
