Chapter 2 (Wondering)
Hermione kept reminding Harry all day about past times when he had been curious about unkown
objects. To Harry and Ron this was really annoying 'cause, even if their past years were full of
dangerous adventures, they were already prepared for a new one.
"Mmm.. this rubarb cake is delicious!" Ron said after gulping down a considerable amount of cake.
They were taking dinner in the Great Hall after their first day was over.
"Hey Ronald!" the dreamy voice belonging to Luna Lovegood startled them."I heard you were made
Quidditch Captain of Gryffindor, congratulations! I hope you don´t get caught by the volakorns!"
Harry and Hermione laughed when Luna was out of earshot, but, to their amazement, Ron gulped
what he had in his mouth ('cause his now improved manner kept him from speaking mouthful), and
raised from his seat to reach Luna, who was heading to the double doors.
"Guess what all that was about?" Ginny had said before making herself a seat between Harry and
Seamus Finnigan (who was inmersed in a chat with Lavender Brown).
"I-I... think.." Harry (who became Weasley-red at the notice of Ginny's proximity), started saying.
"You think Ron fancies her don't you?" Hermione completed watching her suspiciously, altough,
at a second glance at her, Harry tough it was just a look of mild surprise.
Ginny, sensing the tension in Hermione's words said nothing and started flirting with Harry. At the
lack of attention to her question, Hermione returned to her book Hogwarts, A History.
When they started heading to their Common Room, even when Ginny was giggling at a joke he had
managed to tell, Harry kept wandering about his friend's expression, who, after finishing her dinner
plate, had been in total silence. If he was daring to enter the dangerous waters of ... love... he
tought that maybe.., just maybe... Hermione didn't consider Ron anymore just a friend.
"Harry!" Ginny looked annoyed when he realized she had been talking to him and he didn't notice.
