Ron POV

She was hunched over a piece of parchment, scribbling away in the library when I walked in. I had just come to grab a book for a class, so when I saw her there my breath was stolen for a moment. I could feel my ears burn red, and my cheeks became hot. I realized the book I needed was directly behind her, so I lumbered over as manly as I could and tried to grab the book without attracting attention. I should have known it wouldn't happen that way.

My shaking hands clumsily dropped the book I had feebly grasped onto and it came crashing to the ground. Her head whipped up, wisps of her beautiful frizzed hair draped across her startled face. She looked stunning, as usual. I faltered for a moment, breathing her in. Damn.

A smirk spread across her face and she narrowed her eyes playfully.

"Ron… what exactly are you doing in the library. I didn't know you knew where it was."

Suddenly I was shaken out of my dreamy state.

"Oh fine Hermione, just because I don't live here and hibernate among the books it doesn't mean I don't come here once in awhile. At least my nose isn't connected to a book constantly."

Ouch. Her face turned red, and her eyes narrowed further.

"Ron will you ever just GROW UP?"

"Oh good one Hermione.. really clever." If you only knew….

"Shut up Ron, I'm tiring of your incessant childish games."

"Yeah well I'm already tired of your nagging, now if you don't mind I will just take my book and go." Before I say something I regret…

"Fine." She bent over her parchment once again and scribbled more furiously than before. I spun around on my heel and marched toward the door. As soon as I exited, I let out a sigh and slid against the wall and to the floor. I loved our quarrels because of their passion, but I hated the things that came out of my mouth. If I were to ever find out I'd hurt her with any of my snide remarks, I would never forgive himself.

Ginny walked by, arms linked with her newest fling Dean.

"Ron, what in the bloody hell are you doing sprawled on the floor like that?"

"Shut up…"

Ginny gave me a knowing glance. Damn her girl intuition, I could tell she knew of my Hermione obsession. She hinted around every so often, especially during the break before school this year. Are you excited to go back to school? Who are you excited to see? Any special mates you can't wait to see again? Any girls? She knew, she probably had always known. If only I could use that to my advantage…….. hmmmm. Suddenly something sparked inside my head..

Please R&R… I need to know whether to continue! It will get better if I do, promise, I just need to ease into the story… sigh I love romance…
