Disclaimer-whoever left the Macadamia nuts on my bed thanks. I really love the nuttiers that leave me the food instead of J.k. Rowling because they like the plot in the story not the characters, which I don't own.

Chapter 7

In which Hermione Dose Broom Ballets

Or

Dating Malfoy

She thought to herself deviously, time to start my incredible plan and said, "Hermione, after you meet with Krum, you have to give me all the details so meet me at my room at 7, unless you think you will spend longer with Krum," she winked. The real Hermione went red in the face and the fake Hermione's jaw dropped. No, no, no, no, I have to meet with the bloody git and he is going to be all over me like he is with Hermione, Ron thought bitterly. He and Hermione shared a look of horror, Ginny grinned, and Harry didn't pay a wink of attention to Hermione or Ron, but instead was looking at Ginny. Harry though feverishly, I wish I could make her smile like that…

On the way to the Quidditch pitch, Ron run alongside the other 3 who now all had considerably longer legs then him.

Grabbing Hermione and pulling her away from Harry and Ginny, he said, "There is no way in hell that I am going to go on a date with Krum."

"Well I am sorry, I don't like that you have to be me either, and it is not a date we are just talking."

"Why can't I just cancel?"

"Because I already told him I was coming and its mean to bail at the last moment."

"Well its not exactly the last moment there is still a few hours!" Ron said desperately trying to get out of a date with Krum.

"Look all you have to do is pretend to be me, you have known me for long enough to know how I generally react."

"I thought you would dump his sorry self, so I guess I don't know you as well as I thought."

"You can't dump someone you never dated," Hermione reminded him angrily.

"Whatever, I guess I will just go and tell him to keep as bloody far away from me as possible."

"You can't do that! If you do I will ask Luna out," Hermione retorted.

"You wouldn't dare," Ron said trying to catch her bluff.

"Oh, you know I would," Hermione threatened.

"Fine if you ask her out I am going to ask out Malfoy," Ron said because honestly there couldn't be anything else worse then dating Malfoy.

"Ok if you ask Malfoy out, then I might as well ask him out too," Hermione said knowing that she had won.

"Fine what the bloody hell do you want me to say?" Ron said, excepting defeat.

Hermione thought and finally answered, "Just tell him I am not ready for a relationship right now and wouldn't mind being friends," she decided.

"Yuck, friends with Krum," Ron said distastefully, "Hermione, if he so much as tries to snog me I am leaving no if, ands, or buts."

"Krum, would not try to snog me if I said I just wanted to be friends. So your lucky," Hermione said.

From Ginny who was about ten strides in front of them they heard her yell, "Ron, we are going to be late for Quidditch practice if you don't hurry up, and Hermione what are you doing here?"

"I was just err…. reminding Ron that their was a prefect meeting on Sunday and that he couldn't be late again," Ron answered lamely. Before running to Harry and Ginny, Hermione reminded Ron not to screw up 'her' meeting Krum. The Gryffindor team was in the locker room putting on their Quidditch robes and Hermione didn't feel to comfortable about others changing, but soon everyone was out on the Quidditch field getting ready to mount their brooms. Hermione was so nervous that her knees were knocking together and the beater a 5th year, Todd Elmer, a rather Stocky boy with mossy haired, asked her whether 'he' needed to borrow his extra set of robes because 'he' looked rather cold.

Harry continued on his talk, "So today I think that we should warm up with a few quick laps. Then we need to work on scoring because last year there were a lot of points we missed, so we are going to do a triangle drill to get started. Beaters, I want you to work on your accuracy, so pretend the chasers are on the other team, which will add a challenge for the chasers. Ok people, we don't have all day lets get going," Harry finished.

Hermione watched the rest of the team mount their brooms and begin the laps. First Harry was off the ground, followed by the beaters: Todd and Jeff (A tall 6th year with shoulder length blond hair whose family was muggle. He was one of the prefects and despite his size and built body he was very kind (well except when it came to Quidditch)). After the beaters were off the ground the chasers: Ginny, Kelp (an odd 3rd year who was quite small, had dirty dishwater hair and extremely pail skin) and Joe (Lee Jordan's younger brother who was a carbon copy except smaller). Which left Hermione alone on the ground to mount her broom and fly off and she did just that (well after falling off twice before successfully making it into the air and then she kept zigzagging and slipping this way and that).

The rest of the team where already half way around the field and Hermione tried to do the laps but she was afraid to go more than about 5 mph so the rest of the team quickly passed her. Hermione was on the verge of tears 'why did Dumbledore have to switch her and Ron? She was afraid of heights, going fast, and just the general aspects of Quidditch. Everyone must think me such a git for going so slow.' She eventually completed the 5 laps much after everyone else who impatiently waited. When she returned to the ground with the rest of team, extremely tired, Harry asked what took her so long to which she grumbled some dumb answer and the rest of the team took their positions for the triangle. Hermione didn't have the faintest clue what it was, but she figured that she must just stand in front the hoops. As she hovered she thought, dear god just kill me now, I feel like I am going to throw up and my bum has gone very sore and nub.

The chasers made a triangle (2 above 1 below) and flew, passing the ball to one another so it would be hard for the apposing team to reach it. As they neared the goal, much to Hermione's fear, Bludgers began whirling about and she was deathly terrified that she would be hit. Ginny who knew that Hermione was scared shitless and decided to go easy on her. Since this time it was her turn to shoot the quaffle she sent the quaffle straight to Hermione so it would be an easily catch. Hermione, however, did not notice the large red round object coming towards her because at the same moment the Bludgers (that were 20 feet off) seemed to be far to close. Hermione was hit full in the chest and almost fell of her broom, but at the last second she regained balance.

"What was that Ron? The ball was coming straight at you." Harry asked slightly angrily, just because Ron had a row with Hermione it didn't give him the right to be acting like he was today, especially with the first match against Hufflepuff was only a week away.

"Sorry Harry," Hermione groaned, "I am having an off day."

"Well try and keep your head in the game," Harry said. The next time the ball came at Hermione (this time from Joe) she ducked out of the way and was very proud at her fast maneuvering away from getting hit, however, Harry didn't seem at all pleased. By the 7th time the ball came at her, she realized what she was suppose to catch it. After half an hour of the practice she finally was able to catch one of Kelp's throws after it bounced off one of the rings that served as goals. Overjoyed Hermione did a small dance with her upper body on the broom which sent Ginny into fits of laughter and she had to grip on to her broom tightly for fear that the laughing would make her fall off. Harry who would have normally found Ron's sudden broom ballet hilarious was becoming increasing worried about their first game, thinking, if Ron can't even make simple catches then we're doomed. Hermione successfully managed to catch 5 other throws before Harry decided that he couldn't take it any more and called a quit to practice two hours later. Hermione could have hugged Harry to death when he said practice was over. She felt humiliated, shaken, tired, cold, sore, and sweaty. All she wanted was a warm bath, but before she could escape to the castle Harry called to her.

"Ron, what's going on? You were doing horrible in practice and you and Hermione are still mad at each other, but are for some reason always together."

"I have been having a horrible day," she confessed to her best mate, "I haven't felt myself all day."

"Mate, you really have to stop getting in rows with each other."

"I can't help it she is just so unreasonable sometimes," Hermione said thinking, I can't help it he is just so unreasonable sometimes.

"Well it still doesn't explain why you two have spent the entire day together," Harry said who was still kind of angry for his best mates dumping him this morning.

"Sorry it is this stupid thing Dumbledore is making us do because we are prefects," Hermione said still not trying to lie to her mate so she would just bend the truth a bit.

"Oh, I guess there are advantages not to being perfects," Harry said as they reached the castle and began heading to Gryffindor tower, "What are you going to do the rest of today?" Harry asked 'Ron'.

"I am going to take a good long bath and then get a start on all my homework," she said, forgetting that she was suppose to be Ron.

"I think Hermione is rubbing off on you," Harry said. Hermione was saved the problem of answering because they arrived at the common room. Hermione excused herself to try and take a bath. She began walking up the steps to her room but quickly found herself face down on the floor. She realized that she had just attempted to go to the girls' dorms and quickly got up, so that hopefully no one would notice that she had fallen. However, 4 or 5 Gryffindors that were in the common room had noticed and a few girls in the corner where snickering loudly. So she quickly ran up to the boys' dorms. She pushed the door open and to her horror there was Harry with nothing on, but a towel. She quickly averted her eyes and thought, Merlin can Harry ever keep his cloths on in his dorm? I feel sorry for his roommates, not Ron though he deserves any torture possible. She began searching for Ron's towel and other shower things.

After a bit she heard Harry say, "Ron, I got dibs on the shower in here, so you got to go to the prefects shower."

"Ok," Hermione said, then asking, "Have you seen my Shampoo?"

"Mate you really are having an off day, you didn't even check the bathroom," He said grabbing a few bottles of Ron's Stuff and tossing it to Hermione before closing himself in the bathroom. Hermione had a horrible time catching the bottles and one ended up on the floor making a rather nasty stain on one of the many school uniforms that had been strewn about the room. She picked up the shower stuff and figured she might as well use the towels they had in the prefects' bathroom. So she found her way to the bathroom and went inside.

She turned on the hot water and it began to fill up. She added some pink bubbles. She then did the changing cloths charm and found herself in a red bathing suit. She conjured a book that she had been reading (it was a Romance novel) and put a waterproof charm on it. She began her long awaited bath. (Sorry, but I had to do it; the image of Ron reading a romance novel in a bath full of Pink bubbles is just too funny to resist) after reading for a bit, she figured she better actually get to taking the bath and so she put the book down and began to wash her hair. She was immediately jealous of Ron to be blessed with such nice hair. She thought 'why did I have to get the dull, bushy brown mop and he get the silky straight hair'. She finished washing her hair and started to wash her body, she couldn't help but notice that he had really nice muscles, I mean I had to run my hands over them to wash them right, she thought in defense. When she was finally done with her bath, she went to the library to get her homework done, because she would never trust Ron to do it.

----------------------------

Ron after having talked with Hermione he found himself heading to the library because he knew of a particularly good spot to watch the Quidditch field from. When he got there he noticed to his dismay a very slow figure that had to be Hermione who was doing absolutely terrible. By the end of the practice he was about ready to strangle Hermione, her cat could have done a better job at being keeper. He began walking up and down the library waiting, knowing that Hermione would soon find her way up to the library, after all their was some kind of magical force that always pulled her towards the library. If he was going to have her be in his body, he was going to have to teach her to play proper Quidditch if it was the last thing he (or she) did.

"Hermione, you are going to make a hole in the carpet," said a voice from behind making him jump. A handsome dark, shaggy haired boy with grey eyed was standing behind him, who happened to be the head boy Terry Boot (N/A is that what he looks like cause I didn't check the books they are all the way on the other side of the room!). He had on a smirk, "Sorry to have scared you like that."

"I was just waiting for someone, so I didn't notice you," Ron said not at all sure he liked Terry Boot's tone of voice.

"I am surprised that you didn't notice me then."

"What's that suppose to mean?" Ron asked rather puzzled, why would Hermione notice Terry?

"Hermione you're really funny sometimes, you couldn't have forgot about our tutoring session," He said. However, Ron certainly didn't remember Hermione saying anything about tutoring. Then he remembered, she had had to tutor 2 first years, but then why was Terry here?

"Err… sorry I lost my err… planer," Ron said lamely, hoping that Hermione was in fact suppose to be tutoring with Terry. He scanned the library again in search of Hermione. Where the Bloody hell was she? Quidditch practice had been out for a good half an hour and it only took 20 minutes to grab the shower stuff, take a shower and then change and bring the stuff back, and that was only because the castle was so large (poor Ron he will never understand women).

"That's ok, at least I found you," Terry said, bring Ron back to reality, "Who were you looking for."

"Ron."

"Why would you be looking for him after that fight you had with him?" Terry inquired.

"We did have a fight, how did you know?" Ron said trying desperately to think of why he would be looking for himself.

"I was patrolling the corridors on the third floor last night when I heard you two yelling he was really cruel. Do you want to talk about it?" Ron thought, I really wasn't cruel compared to her, how dare he!

"No!" Ron said heatedly.

Terry was a bit taken aback said, "Ok, forget I asked. Anyways we better start the tutoring there is Anna," He said pointing to a girl who was a Gryffindor first year. Terry led a reluctant Ron to a table near the back of the room, which had been declared the official domain of Hermione. Anna followed behind them. Terry asked Anna, "So what do you need help in?"

"We have a charms test on Monday on hovering charms that I don't seem to get it," Anna said, Ron let out a breath at least he knew how to do this charm. The three took seats and Terry started to review the wand motion for the charm, while Ron began to drift off; Terry was just as boring as professor Flitwick. Ron began snoring and Terry prodded him with his wand.

Ron jumped clear off his seat and said, "Professor I was paying complete attention." Terry Anna, and a Hufflepuff girl what was sitting at his table began to snicker.

"Hermione, keep your voice down we are in a library," Said a voice behind him. He turned around and came face to face with Hermione. Terry gave 'Ron' a rather distasteful look.

"Err… Sorry I dosed off, can I talk to Ron for a second," Ron said, not waiting for an answer, as he grabbed Hermione and pulled her towards the closest bookshelf.

"Hermione you are going to learn to play some proper Quidditch. Tomorrow morning meet me at the pitch at 6:00 that way no one will see you play," Ron said.

"Not more of that bloody sport," Hermione groaned. Ron knew that Hermione really detested it because he could count the times Hermione cursed on one hand.

"Look Hermione if I have to go on a date with Krum, you have to learn to play Quidditch," Ron said.

"It's not a date!"

"Look I don't care what you think it is; I think it is a bloody date. Besides if you don't I will run naked through the corridors," Ron said.

"Fine but you owe me big!" Hermione screamed stalking out of the library. Ron felt it all went over quite well and returned to the table where he was tutoring.

"What was that all about?" Terry asked him.

"Oh nothing," Ron said. Terry and Ron continued to tutor the two first years for another hour before they called it quits, and the first years both had mastered the levitating charm. Terry had insisted on walking 'Hermione' back to her common room because they had to talk about Head people business. Ron was only able to live through the traumatic experience of having a guy hug him when he left 'her' at the portrait of the fat lady by thinking of Quidditch.

Don't kill me people for taking so long to update because my Internet crashed! Tear! Tear! Tear! Anyways this is going to change from romance/ general to romance/ humor. Please tell me if you think it is funny enough to be humor. And read and review! My sister and I have been bouncing off ideas about our fanfics and as a result we keep stealing things from each other it is quite funny. Anyway I promise next chapter will have the long awaited Ron and Krum date! It's going to be great. I think the chapter will be called, 'In which Ron gets his first kiss' (which might give you ideas about the next chapter). Also Terry has a secret that no one is expecting, but you have to wait for a few chapters, the anticipation is building I can just feel it. Ok anyways I would really like more reviews and my constant reviewers are the best!!!!!!!

PS- Ron and Hermione are going to be in each other's body for a long time so I will need ideas so please review with ideas!!!!

Reviewers-

Thehalfbloodprincess- Yay another review! I am so glad you like my story! Ron and Hermione are the best!!! Oh and this is your thanksgiving present from me another chapter. I really do hate Harry he really needs to die, but then it would just make all the books depressing and that is just kind of boring, so I cant do it on this story (but maybe my next one…). Anyways please review!

Belanna30- Well I guess we know how bad 'Ron' is at Quidditch, but then that may change! Or maybe she is just bad at being keeper and is better at a different position (hehehehehe foresight to chapter way in the future). I am so glad you like this chapter! I cant wait till I write Ron's date and his talk with Ginny afterwards it is going to be so great I just hope I don't ruin it!

Bhekie- thanks I thought it was funny too and I love to say bloody hell too! In fact one of the reasons why it took so long to update, I spelt a whole day talking on IM with my friends pretending I an British and I was like "fancy a good snog". Those British are so lucky; I have an American ascent, which really sucks, why couldn't I have had a Canadian ascent, I mean I am Canadian after all but no, I had to move. Anyways do you know any good British words because my dialog is pretty shabby when it comes to the actual British part? Hope to hear more of your reviews!
