Authors note: Thanks so much to every single person who participated in my
stupid survey. I hope you enjoy this chapter because it was written with
every ounce of gratitude I possess.

Chapter 11: Missed Chances
Hermione was sprawled on her bed staring at the ceiling wishing Ginny would say something. Instead Ginny just walked into the room and calmly started to brush her hair and change her clothes. As Ginny began to tie her hair up, Hermione spoke.
"Please say something. Your not acting at all like I thought you would."
"'Like you thought I would?'" asked Ginny, surprised. "What do you mean? How long has this been going on?"
"No!" cried Hermione, sitting up. "This hasn't been 'going on', but I just thought that maybe you'd be mad or upset or. something."
"Hermione, why would I be upset?" asked Ginny, coming to sit next to her friend. "I'm anything but upset," she concluded, grinning.
"Really? I mean, he is your brother."
"Well, that part does make me want to throw up, and I'm not sure `why` you chose him, but you seem happy." Hermione was blushing, but smiling.
"Are you sure?" she asked one more time.
"Hermione!" Ginny cried, exasperated.
"Okay, okay," said Hermione, looking into her lap. "I'm just really confused. If you objected to it then I would have a way to get out of it."
"Do you want to get out of `it`?" asked Ginny, slyly.
"Well, I don't know," said Hermione frowning.
"Come on, Hermione. Let's go outside and you can tell me everything without having to worry about Extendable Ears."
Hermione smiled and followed Ginny out the door.
Ron paused outside his room. He wasn't sure if he wanted to go down or not. Harry, however, practically threw him down the stairs and went back into Ron's room chuckling. Ron waited next to Ginny's door for a minute before knocking softly.
No one answered.
Ron knocked again, a little bit louder this time. Still no one answered. Ron jogged up the stairs and found Harry reading a book.
"Did you chicken out?" asked Harry, frowning.
"No, there was no one there," said Ron, gesturing down the stairs. Harry looked disbelieving.
"Come on, Ron," said Harry, getting up. He dragged Ron down stairs, ignoring all protests and rapped sharply on Ginny's door.
There was no reply.
"Well, I guess I'll just talk to her tomorrow," said Ron hopefully.
"No way," said Harry stubbornly. "We'll go find her."
Author's note: Its short, but I need some time to think if I want to give you the next chapter or write a completely new one. By the way, I made a new poll question:
*What is your favorite way for Ron and Hermione to get together?
`Under the Mistletoe
`In action
`Before death/ last kiss
`Curse/ Hex/ Jinx
`Love Potion
`Other (please specify)
Coming up from Katie:
*I want to do Christmas story, starting after Thanksgiving and ending on Christmas Eve. The story itself will take place at the same time and all the events will occur on the day that I wrote them. If you have any ideas for this story, please tell me in your review and I'll mention you as an author if I use your idea.
*I also want to try my hand at action/adventure stories, not just fluff. Any ideas for a plot, review and I'll add you as an author if I use your idea. Thanks!
