Ron hadn't seen Hermione all weekend. In fact, he would be worried for her life if Ginny didn't tell him that she was okay. He had tried to apologize, it's not like he meant to call her a Mudblood, but apologizing becomes increasingly difficult when you can't get within ten feet of the person you're apologizing to. It wasn't until the Monday that Ron saw her at the Gryffindor table for breakfast. Seizing this opportunity Ron made sure Hermione knew he was sorry.
"Hermy. I'm sorry." An out of breath Ron managed to say after running after her for the last few minutes. Hermione's head shot instantly up at the sound of Ron's voice and a quizzical look spread across her face.
"Sorry for what?" Hermione asked as if not a second has passed since last Valentines Day. A confused film covered Ron's features as he tried to think of different ways of time travel.
"You remember" Ron pushed on, determined he wasn't cracking up "It was Valentines Day and we got in to a fight-"
"Oh that!" Hermione said as if it were some sort of anecdote "Never mind about that. It's all in the" Hermione's breath caught in her through as Draco walked in. "past". The last part was whispered barley audible above the breakfast racket. "Sorry Ron I have to go." She said briskly, getting up from the long bench she sat, and walking out of the hall.
"Hermione! Wait up. I've got more to say"
"Well then can you hurry up and say it!" She snapped. She then turned her head back to face her destination and bumped into something. Or someone. "Oh! So sorry" She said before looking up to see a blond, with his trade mark smirk, brushing himself off. Ron gaped at what happened next. Malfoy extended a hand, which Hermione took without hesitation. Hermione held his gaze for a moment, silent messages flashing between them, before turning around and leaving the hall, Ron hot on her heels.
"Hermione, are you mad? What was with that?" An annoyed Ron asked. Malfoy had to be up to something. Ron had convinced himself of that.
Hermione then sent him a death glare and said "What? Can't people be nice once in a while?" and Ron knew to drop the subject.
Like? I think it could have gone better, but then again,I did it quickly whileI was meant to be doing my English coursework. I was gonna have Ron asking Hermione out in this chapter but it didn't seem to fit. What do you think? This chapter might also be a little rough around the edges because all my proof readers are offline. And, before I forget, since his hasn't appeared and where else in the story:
I only own the plot. All the rest is JK's!
And now that's out of the way you can reveiw.
