Chapter 4

The First Day in the Life of Hermione, Part 2

"First class is double potions. Great." Ron mumbled. "2 hours of Slytherins."

"Well, after that, we have transfiguration, that's not too bad." Hermione consoled.

"Easy for you to say." Harry cut in. "We all know that you already know how to transfigure a newt into a tea cozy! We, on the other hand, have to go back and get our newts to be tea cozies, and not slimy, knitted blobs! All you have to do is work on pretty patterns!"

"Someone's cranky this morning." Ron commented. Harry glared at him, and Hermione laughed as they made their way down to the dungeons.

Upon arriving, Professor Slughorn greeted them warmly, and ushered them into his class. Ron pulled a chair out for Hermione, ignoring the cat-calls from the Slytherins.

"Today, we will be making the mandrake potion, used for reviving those who were petrified. The instructions are on the board."

Harry pulled out his potions book, the one with the half-prince's scribbles all over it, and started on his potion. Ron looked blankly at the board, then smiled widely, and silently dove into Hermione's mind. Following all her moves, he managed to make a potion exactly like Hermione's, and received full marks!

"How did you do that?" Hermione asked after class. "Your potion was as good as mine!"

"I think that your influence has rubbed of on me, m'lady." Ron grinned, and Hermione blushed.

"Well, I'm glad to see that you are finally taking your schoolwork seriously now." Hermione said, and led the way up to transfiguration, where Ron once again, looked into her mind, and transfigured his newt into a perfect tea cozy, earning him a rare smile and 5 points from Professor McGonagall, a puzzled, yet happy, look from Hermione, and a glare from Harry (Whose newt remained a firm, knitted, slimy glob on his desk.).

I'm really enjoying this. Thought Ron. I could get used to it.

At lunch, Ron once again acted as the gentleman, and escorted Hermione to an empty bench, where he waited until she was comfortable before he sat down himself.

"Thank-you." Hermione said softly. "I really like this."

"I'm glad, m'lady." Ron replied. "I try my best to make sure that you are happy." Ron grinned at her, and saw the blush creep up her neck and across her cheeks again. He dived into her mind, and searched around to see what she was thinking.

He's being so sweet today. I hope he continues this, because it's really fun! I wonder, maybe he'll ask me out soon!

Ron pulled himself hurriedly from Hermione's thoughts, and turned to look at her once he was in his own body.

"Hermione," Ron said. She turned to look at him. "I was wondering, have you ever ridden a broom properly before?" Hermione shook her head. "Then may I have the pleasure of introducing you to flying?" Hermione looked startled for a moment, and then nodded her head, looking a bit shaken.

"Wonderful," Ron said "I'll pick you up at 5 this evening, alright?" And he rushed off to find Harry.

"Harry." He panted as soon as he found him. "Harry, can I borrow your fire bolt?"

"Why?"

"Because I'm taking Hermione out tonight, to show her what it feels like to fly, and it would be great if I could use your fire bolt!" Ron explained.

"You mean you asked her out? Finally! For this occasion, yes you can borrow my fire bolt!" Harry grinned.

"Thanks, Harry!" Ron said, and raced up to the boy's dorms to retrieve the fire bolt, and get himself ready for his 'date'.
