Chapter One
Things I'll never say
The day started off as any other school day, the sun passed through the window and slowly warmed Hermione's sleeping face. Feeling the warmth on her face Hermione woke and rubbed her eyes tiredly. She pushed a heavy book that was lying on herchest and stretched, she frowned as she realised that she had fallen asleep when she was supposed to be revising her notes. Shrugging slightlyshe decidedto finish her studying while she was eating breakfast.Getting out of bed she shivered as her feet made contact with the cold floor of her room. She quietly made her way to her private bathroom, one of the perks of being head girl, to have a shower.
Once she had finished her shower and feeling refreshed she slipped on her soft blue bathrobe around her body before turning to look at her reflection. She smiled while preparing herself for the day ahead as she remembered who had given her the bathrobe.

Ron sat nervously as Hermione carefully unwrapped the Christmas present he had given her. His hands refused to remain still and it moved trough his soft red hair, to his collar, to his pockets before returning back to his messy hair. Finally haven removed the wrapping Hermione picked up the gift in her hands,she remained silent as she stared down at the beautiful blue bathrobe in her hands, her hand touched the silk and she felt herself smiling at Ron.
'Blue, just like your eyes,' she thought lovingly.
"Oh, Ron…" she began trough tears.
Ron instantly looked panicked as he saw the tears form in Hermione's eyes, "Look...I just thought you would look nice in it…not that I think about," he paused embarrassedly as he tried to explain himself.
Hermione simply smiled shyly before hugging him and thanking him again. She laughed when she heard him release a sigh of relief.
end Flashback
Hermione buttoned her school robes and lovingly held the bathroom in her arms before placing it back onto her bed. Before leaving she took one more glance at her reflection. Hermione jumped when she heard music surround her.
"I'm tugging at my hair,
I'm pulling at my clothes.
I'm trying to keep my cool,
I know it shows."
Hermione clasped a hand over her mouth as she heard herself singing. Her eyes widened with shock as she looked at her reflection. Hermione tried to think logically, 'Did I just sing?' she quickly reached for her wand before facing her room where she could still hear the music.
"FINITE INCANTATEM!"
Instantly the music stopped and Hermione breathed a sigh of relief, 'What just happened here?' she wondered to herself, but she didn't have time to stop and think anymore on the strange singing incident because she suddenly noticed the time and realized that Ron and Harry were probably already waiting for her in the common room. She hastily grabbed her books and ran down the spiral stairs to the Gryffindor common room. She paused on the bottom step when she noticed Ron sitting in one of the desks writing in his notebook. She rolled her eyes at the boyish grin plastered on his face and didn't even have to guess that he was devising new Qudditch strategies. 'No doubt he and Harry will discuss it all over breakfast,' Hermione thought as her eyes moved from his lips to his intense blue eyes before moving sliding down his red hair. She blushed when she realized what she was doing. Once again she heard the music surround her,
"Oh, No!" she said aloud.
Ron looked up at her, "Hermione!'
"I'm staring at my feet,
My cheeks are turning red.
I'm searching for the words inside my head.
'Cause I'm feeling nervous,
Trying to be so perfect,
'Cause I know you're worth it, you're worth it.
Yeah."
"Did you say something Hermione?" Ron asked now standingbeside her, Hermione jumped when she realized how close he was.
He looked at her with his deep blue eyes, concern and love emanating from them. She shook her head mutely, 'love? Is that what it is I see in his beautiful eyes?' she bit her lip as the thought crossed her mind. 'Don't be silly, this is Ron for goodness sake! Annoying, temperamental…loyal and hilariously funny Ron...ugh stop it!'
Ron watched the emotions play across Hermione's face, he laughed as he saw embarrassment, confusion, annoyance cross her face almost simultaneously. After knowing each other for so long he had learnt to read her like a book,he smiled knowing that no one not evenHarry or Ginny could read her as well as he could.Hermione looked up when she heard Ron laugh.
"What?" she said sounding slightly annoyed.
Usually Ron would love to argue with her but instead he shrugged his shoulders before saying, "We're gonna be late for breakfast, come on," he said as he pulled her towards the portrait hole.
Hermione rolled her eyes again, "Honestly Ron is food all you care about? What about Harry and Ginny?"
"Food is not all I care about," he paused and looked back at her before continuing, "but right now it is definitely on the top of the list, besides Harry and Ginny already went down to the great hall because someone slept in."
As they stepped through he portrait hole Ron waited expectantly for Hermione to scream at him but instead he heard music playing around him. He turned to look behind him,
"Hermione do you hear…" but he stopped when he heard Hermione singing.
"If I could say what I wanna to say,
I'd say I wanna blow you…away
Be with you every night,
Am I squeezing you too tight?"
Hermione tried desperately to stop her self from making a fool out of herself but her hands wouldn't move and she could only continue standing in front of Ron and singing.
"If I could say what I wanna see,
I wanna see you go down…on one knee.
Marry me today!
Guess I'm wishing my life away,
With these things I'll never say."
Ron's eyes widened in shock at what he heard, "What did you…" he never got the chance to finish his sentence because Hermione stepped towards him as she continued to sing.
"It don't do me any good,
It's just a waste of time.
What use is it to you what's on my mind?
If it ain't comin' out,
We're not going anywhere
So why can't I just tell you that I care?
Hermione reached out her hands and grabbed Ron's large hands in her own, she looked into his eyes. 'Oh, why can't I stop singing!' she screamed internally.
Ron's eyes looked down at their intertwined fingers, he could feel Hermione shaking, he looked up from their hands to her face.
"'Cause I'm feelin' nervous,
Trying to be so perfect,
'Cause I know you're worth I, you're worth it.
Yeah.
If I could say what I wanna say,
I'd say I wanna blow you…away,
Be with you every night,
Am I squeezing you too tight?
If I could say what I wanna see
I wanna see you go down…on one knee
Marry me today!
Guess I'm wishin' my life away.
With these things ill never say."
"Hermione!" Ginny's voice was heard somewhere down the hall.
"What's wrong with my tongue?
These words keep slipping away.
I stutter, I stumble
Like I've got nothing to say
'Cause I'm feeling nervous
Tryin' to be so perfect,
'Cause I know you're worth it, you're worth it.
Yeah!"
"GINNY! Wait!" Harry's frantic voice was followed by the sound of running feet.
"Guess I'm wishin' my life away.
With these things ill never say.
If I could say what I wanna say,
I'd say I wanna blow you…away,
Be with you every night,
Am I squeezing you too tight?
If I could say what I wanna see
I wanna see you go down…on one knee
Marry me today!"
Ginny ran quickly up to Ron and Hermione, pulling out her wand she screamed, "SILENCIO!"
The effect was instantaneous, Hermione's mouth still moved but no sound came out. Ginny hurriedly grabbed Hermione and pulled her back into the Gryfinndor common room. Hermione stood shaking as she realized what she had just done, a hand clasped over her mouth in horror, hot tears ran down her cheeks as she collapsed onto the floor.
Ron turned to Harry slowly, "What the bloody hell is going here!"
A/N: What's going on? Why is Harry running after Ginny? When will Ron sing? All will be answered in the next chapter that is if you'll be kind enough to read and review this little piece of R/Hr fluff.
I BELIEVE IN TREES! (Shame on you if you don't know what that means, lol)
