Just Say It!

A/N: Well it's a Sunday and I'm bored so I'm going to do another chapter. It's great to hear some people like this story. :) So on with the story...

I do not own Harry Potter or any of the other characters.

Chapter 5: Arguments

"Wake up," Ginny said. "Hermione, you're going to miss the best time to do quidditch."

"Then maybe I shouldn't go," Hermione mumbled. "I can't believe I agreed to this last night, what was I thinking?"

Then she pulled her blanket over her head.

"Ron will be so dissappointed," Ginny sighed. "You don't want to break his heart now do you?"

"Of course not," Hermione snapped.

"Then come on," Ginny persuaded. "The earlier we do this the quicker it will be over."

Hermione yawned and stood up.

"For Ron's sake," she said. "I guess I better try it out sooner than later."

"That's the spirit," smiled Ginny. "Trust me, this will be fun."

They headed downstairs for breakfast, Ron and Harry were already seated munching happily into their bacon and eggs.

"Sit down here Hermione," Ron said, pointing to the seat next to him.

"He wouldn't let me sit there," mumbled Harry to Ginny.

"I think their whole 'relationship' thingis getting to Ron," Ginny laughed.

Ron pretended not to hear that and took faster mouthfulls of his food. Hermione grabbed herself a plate and sat next to Ron.

"So..." Harry said. "Your not scared or anything are you Hermione?"

"No way," Ron shouted sending bits of food flying in Harry's face, he quickly wiped them off in great disgust. "Hermione's not scared, I'll protect her."

"Say it don't spray it," Ginny giggled.

"Ron I think I can speak for myself," Hermione said. "I'm not scared I'm just...nervous."

Ron raised his eyebrows and continued eating.

Half an hour later the four of them were holding their brooms preparing for their practice. Hermione had borrowed Fred's broom and Harry had borrowed George's.

"So," said Ron. "Hermione, all you need to do is...sit on it... and...fly."

"That's not going to help me much Ron," said Hermione in a somewhat annoyed voice. "Can't you give me a demo or something?"

"I do that every quidditch game," Ron muttered. "Look, just hold it tightly and practice hovering off the ground for a bit."

Harry snorted.

"What?" Hermione shouted.

"Nothing," Harry said quickly in defence. But to him, Hermione hovering 20 centremetres off the ground, while the rest of them were going at quick speeds metres above the floor was rather funny.

"Harry," Ginny said smiling. "How about you and me do a quick warm up session?"

"Why? What do..." then he realized what she was getting at. "Yeah, just to get the hang of it agian."

They mounted their brooms and flew off a few metres away.

"Ron, this is just too hard," Hermione sighed. "I will never be able to do this."

"You'll be fine Hermione," Ron comforted her. "Why don't you come on mine with me?"

Hermione forced a smile and sat behind Ron on his broomstick. She held onto his shoulders and gritted her teeth as he rose.

"Don't you think this is too far?" she said.

"No, this is whimpy stuff."

They went even higher and Ron started to speed up.

"You're too high up!" she screamed. "Go down, go down!"

"Relax," he said. "This is nothing."

"Go down!" she shrieked, gripping his sleaves. "Right now Ronald, right now!"

"Don't scream in my ear!" he shouted. "You'r going to deafen me!"

"Ronald you prat, I'm going to kill you if you don't put this stick on the ground this instant!"

Ron flew down and quickly got off.

"It's not that scary!" he shouted. "Look what you did to me!"

Hermione in fright had held onto him so tightly, she had scratched him.

"It's a wonder I didn't push you off!" he continued.

"Why are you getting so worked up for?" Hermione cried. "Okay, so I was scared."

"I was comforting you along the way, I was with you!"

"That's not the point Ronald...just because you can do it and I can't."

"No it's because I can actually do better than you in something," he pointed his finger at her. "You're just angry that you're not the best at this."

"I can't stand you anymore," Hermione said and she walked off into the house and slammed the door behind her.

Ginny and Harry got off their brooms and went to Ron.

"What happened?" asked Ginny. "You weren't showing off or anything were you?"

"No!" Ron shouted. "She is just a stuck up snob!"

"Well I'm going to see her," Ginny sighed. "You just may have messed everything up with her."

Ginny ran into the house. Ron sighed and walked slowly with Harry, he definately had screwed up big time now.

A/N: Well I know some of you were expecting this. But I had to do some sort of fight or else it wouldn't be a somewhat normal Ron and Hermione relationship now would it?
