A/N: Ok, so I said last chapter that I was going to do a D/Hr one next, but I was also thinking about doing a Snape one. (My wonderful friend amber wants me to!) What would you guys think of that?

Ron just stood there for a minute. 'Harry kissed Hermione? He just told me the other day that she likes me…and I was so happy…'

His jaw dropped slowly and pretty soon he looked like a giant ape, drooling all over the furniture.

"Ron…" Hermione started, she couldn't understand why he was just standing there. 'He should at least get-"

"HE WHAT!" Ron yelled.

'-mad.' She finished. Well so far this was going better than planned.

"Hermione, he did what?" Ron asked again, his anger boiling.

"Well Ron, after the psychotic snitch took over me, he tried to help me get it out of my sleeve, because it was stuck you see and.-"

She had to stop; Ron had put his hand over her mouth to stop her from yapping. Keeping his hand on her mouth, he moved her back over to the couch, seeing as she got up while explaining.

"Listen Hermione, I don't want to hear about how it happened ok? He had just told me that you liked me, and then I find out that you kissed him! I don't know how I'm supposed to take this ok! I feel as though you've cheated on me in some way even though we're not going out, only it's worse, because I have no way to back myself up!"

Ron continued to go off and he was getting redder with each sentence. When he was done, he just got up from the couch and started walking away towards the guy's stairway.

"Ron, stop, please!" Hermione yelled at him. "First of all, I didn't kiss Harry, Harry kissed ME. I didn't know it was going to happen! And yes, I do like you Ron; I have for a long time. I figured that you liked me too, considering what Ginny told me and I FIGURED that you would allow me to at least explain myself and TRY TO UNDERSTAND!"

Now it was Hermione's turn to develop a red shade on her face. She thought about what the scene must look like to someone who would walk into the common room. There was Ron, on the stairs with his arms crossed glaring at her, and there she was, arms flaring and screaming at the top of her lungs. (Ok, so it probably would have looked normal, but that's not the point.)

"Ok, I'm not even going to go into how Ginny shouldn't have told you Hermione. Listen, I do like you, and I want us to go out…but I just need to think about this now ok? Maybe I'm blowing it out of proportion, maybe I'm not. How would you feel if you found out I kissed Lavender? Think about that ok? When you do, make it ten times worse, because of the factors. Lavender isn't your other best friend. Harry is my best friend, who kissed my other best friend when he knew I like her. Then there is the fact that you didn't tell me right away, you waited until 2 days before the dance for crying out loud! Just…come talk to me in awhile Hermione, and let me cool off."

And with that, Ron walked up the rest of the stairs and disappeared off into his room.

Hermione didn't know what to do with herself, that wasn't how it was supposed to go. She started crying right then and there and hurriedly got to her room. Once she got there, she broke down on her bed, her pillow getting soaked by her tears that just kept flowing from her.

Ron was supposed to accept the fact that Harry kissed her, he was supposed to hold her in his strong arms and rub away the guilt that she had. HE was supposed to kiss her then. But no, he had yelled at her and ran away, without understanding what had happened. She told him Harry kissed HER, but she knew that Ron thought she kissed Harry also.

'What a stupid way to end the day,' she thought, 'They might as just well cancel homework for the rest of the school year.'

With that horrid last thought, Hermione cried herself to sleep, dreading the dance that was coming up.

In no time at all, it was time for the dance. Ginny had come over with a beautiful baby blue outfit that, while looked great on Ginny, looked absolutely fabulous on Hermione.

Hermione hadn't talked to Ron since that night in the common room. She was afraid, afraid of him telling her that he didn't like her anymore.

She didn't think she could handle that.

Ginny on the other hand, was as happy as a bumblebee, and was running around the room getting everything set up to "make Hermione."

"Ok Ginny, I really don't see the point in making me look pretty. Ron hates me, you know he does, and I know he does. What's that for?" Hermione asked Ginny. Ginny was holding a small blue and white bottle in her hand.

"Oh this? Its hair straitening potion, you used some for the Yule Ball, remember?"

"I remember using hair straitening potion, what I don't remember is the bottle looking like that." Hermione stated.

"Oh…well, that because… itssomethingfredandgeorgemade." Mumbled Ginny

"What was that?"

Ginny sighed. "I said…its something that Fred and George made…it's that new invention that they've been working on. They tried it on mum, and I'll tell you, it works. Hermione get back here!"

Hermione had gotten up when she heard who made the straitening potion, ready to learn how to fly quickly and leave Hogwarts.

"Ginny, I'm not so sure about this ok? How do you know that it won't turn my hair…orange for crying out loud?"

"First of all, you have to trust me. Second of all, once your hair is straight, we'll put it up so it will look fine. Thirdly, the dance is starting in one hour and we don't have time for you to pooh-pooh around. Now get over here and sit down." And with that, Hermione obeyed.

Fifty minutes later, Ginny told Hermione to look into the mirror. As she closed her eyes and turned slowly to the wall, Hermione was thinking about the dance, and what she would do if she saw Ron, or worse yet, Draco.

'I really, REALLY think this is a bad idea. I going to see Ron and I'll have to leave because Ginny will be dancing with Harry and I won't have anyone to talk to, maybe I can steal Malfoy away without anyone noticing and…'

Hermione stopped there. She had just opened her eyes. She looked…good, actually, and that really surprised her. Ginny had spun her hair around a small bun at the top of her head and put sparkles all around that glittered every time she moved. Her face had the perfect amount of make-up on, and she could really see her brown eyes! But it was the dress that made her gasp.

Ginny's baby blue dress was cut low in the back, and moderately in the front. It went down to her knees and then one half of it kept going into an elegant point. The straps circled around her neck, which really matched her hair. The sequins at the bottom of the dress really accented her legs. All in all, she looked gorgeous. Suddenly, the fear of seeing Ron wasn't so bad anymore.

"Oh my goodness Ginny…I look…amazing!" Hermione said with a dropped jaw.

"I know you do, damn…I think I should give that dress, look what it does for your body! It certainly doesn't do that for me!"

Hermione laughed, which felt good after all the tears she had lately.

"All right Ginny, let's go get our men."

A/N: Ah no! I had to stop again didn't I! Lol. I'm sick you guys, but I will try my HARDEST to update as soon as possible! Ok…do you prefer chocolate or vanilla? (Hey, I'm trying to get to know you guys lol.)
