Chapter 13

The Reason of Ron

"Harry, I need to talk to you," Hermione said. It had been weeks since either of them talked. Somehow they managed not to speak together, even though they had all five classes together.

"Harry, we need to start working on the dance preparations."

"Alright fine." He said with an attitude.

"Let's meet in the Great Hall in our free period, I mean if that's alright for you."

"Fine," he said leaving her alone very quickly.

"Oh, hey Ron," Hermione said turning around and noticing him.

"I take it he's still and at both of us."

"Yeah, but I finally figured out why."

"Why then"

"Ron, does Harry like me?"

"Um…nn…no," Ron stuttered. "Why would you think that?"

"It just all adds up. You see the day we started fighting I told Ginny that I was going to go o…ou…out with you"

"What?"

"You see, I thought it was the only way to get you and Harry to stop fighting because you would forget about me, and that's what you guys were fighting with each other over anyway. When I was talking to Ginny though, he overheard me and became jealous of you, but that's just my theory."

"That would make since if he liked you," Ron lied again,

"I thought if anything he would have told you."

"No, not after I told him I liked you."

"I have another question, why are you acting so different now. I mean you were acting like an ass before.'

"I dunno, it's weird. The things that happened weren't me. It was like someone else was in my body, doing things and I couldn't stop them."

"Like Ginny"

"No, much different than Ginny. She said she had blackouts right? I could see everything that was happening; I just had o watch while someone else was ruining my life. I mean seriously, who'd get that mad over something stupid as dating, I'm a better friend than that."

"Well over the past few months, I wasn't sure, I forgot who you were."

"I'm here to stay. Only if Harry knew that none of that was me."

"Well, I half to go talk to him anyways, later. We better get off to class… See you later. Hermione said getting up to leave.

"Hey Hermione, can you do me a favor?" Hermione turned around and looked at him. "Don't throw pumpkin juice at me again." A smile flew across Hermione's face, Ron was back! Now all she had to do was convince Harry he was.

Hours had passed and Hermione had no idea what to talk about with Harry. The time arrived for both of them to meet in the great hall and plan for the dance. Hermione knew this was not going to go smoothly, even though she was really wishing it would.

She arrived there just before Harry did; she always seemed to be a little bit early. Hermione started pacing back and forth, worried he wouldn't show up. Finally, he did.

"What do we have to do?" Harry asked.

"We have to figure out what we want this place to look like and sound like. First decorations." Hermione said with a quill in hand.

"We should have a lot of pumpkins, hay, scarecrows, and monsters."

Hermione scribbled down every word that came out of Harry's mouth, adding a few suggestions of her own. Their next subject was music, which was going to be played using magic, not the old muggle ways. It was dead quite in the Great Hall, and Hermione wanted to strike up a conversation.

"How's all those dreams coming, have they gone away yet?" Hermione said flipping threw the pages of cds.

"No, not like you care."

"Harry, you know I do care, has anything happened…"

"Just shut up. You know what, here's something better, stay the hell out of my life!" Harry exited the Great Hall, leaving Hermione alone.

"So far, no good." She said to herself.

After hours and hours, Hermione decided to head in for the night. She got absolutely nothing accomplished, Harry still hated her and the threat of Voldemort was beginning to scare her. On top of that all her and Harry had somehow became cutest couple and had to perform in front of the whole school. Hermione knew this wasn't going to happen, especially when they weren't even talking.

The next day she decided to go and talk to Professor Dumbledore. She knew that somehow they could get the dance all together, but the cutest couple thing, that wasn't going to happen.

"Professor Dumbledore, we have a problem about the dance."

"What?"

"The performance is not going to happen."

"And why not."

"Because Harry and I are fighting."

"Indeed, I have known from the look upon your face. That is why I arranged this performance, to help the two best friends back talking. But if you have to back out on this, I guess you must.

The dance came and went, nothing knew became of this. Since Harry and Hermione didn't have to do the dance, they didn't speak again. When the dance came, each of the trio went alone, because Ron and Hermione didn't want Harry to think they were dating. They each just hung around, talking to someone besides each other. Both Harry and Hermione were very shocked that they actually pulled this dance off.

A/n- Finally… To chapters up in the same day. About the next update, I'm not sure when that's going to be. My campground opens next weekend so I am going to be up there all weekend, so my updates will not be on weekends. I will try to update during the week.
