The next morning at breakfast everyone was happier than usual. Most people because of the dance, other people because of what happened after the dance.
It was Saturday and yet another Hogsmeade weekend. It seemed like almost everyone that had gone to the dance together was now going out and there were couples snogging all over the village. Hermione wanted to go to Madame Puddifoots tea shop with Ron, but when they got there it was packed with so many Hogwarts students that there were no more tables left.
"Why don't we just go to The Three Broomsticks and get a butterbeer?" asked Ron when they saw all of the people.
"But I wanted to come here," said Hermione looking upset and making a puppy dog face.
"We can come next time, I promise babe, and I'll make it up to you." said Ron.
His arms were around Hermione's waist and he pulled her closer and kissed her gently on the lips.
"Okay, but you better make it up to me!" she said still a little bit upset.
"Don't worry I will," he whispered into her ear.
They stood there holding each other for a few minutes before he said, "Alright, let's go get some butterbeer now, it's starting to get chilly."
They went to the Three Broomsticks and found Harry and Ginny already there sitting at a table together.
"Hey guys!" said Hermione as they joined their table.
"Hey, I thought you were going to Madame Puddifoots?" asked Harry.
"Well we were going to," answered Ron because Hermione and Ginny were already chatting excitedly and giggling, "but the place was packed so we came here instead."
"Oh alright, well we just got here, we didn't order yet, so you can order with us when Madame Rosmerta comes over." said Harry.
"Alright, well can you just order me a butterbeer? I gotta go do something. I'll be back in a little while." asked Ron.
"Yea, sure," answered Harry.
"Where are you going?" Hermione asked Ron as she grabbed his wrist when he stood up.
"Don't worry about it babe, it's a surprise, I'll be back soon." He said as he kissed her and walked out of the pub.
"Hmm I wonder where he is going," started Hermione, "did he say anything to you about it Harry?"
"Nope, but I have a few ideas." He answered with a smirk on his face.
"Care to share?" asked Ginny.
"Nope, sorry Gin, like Ron said, it's a surprise, and I don't want to ruin any surprises for Hermione."
Their butterbeer arrived about ten minutes later just as Ron was re-entering the pub; he was carrying a small pink bag.
"Here Hermione, this is for you." he said as he sat down next to her and handed it to her.
Hermione opened the bag and there was a little pink teddy bear in it.
"Aww, Ron it's so cute! But what is it for?" Hermione asked as she hugged him.
"Just 'cause I love you babe," he said, but they could all tell that he was trying to hide something, "squeeze it."
So Hermione squeezed the little teddy bear and it squeaked out 'I love you baby.'
"Aww, thanks!" squealed Hermione as she kissed him on the cheek, "I love you too!"

Ron, Hermione, Harry and Ginny spent most of the weekend in the common room snogging on the couch. They didn't have any homework; the teachers decided not to give any because of the dance, and it being a Hogsmeade weekend.
Monday morning they all met in the Great Hall again for breakfast. On Monday's they all had Charms in the morning and then Defense Against the Dark Arts after lunch. In Charms they learned a few new charms that they had to practice for homework. In DADA they learned a new defense spell and had to write a short essay for homework.
After DADA Ron and Hermione went to the common room because they had 2 hours left until dinner. Harry and Ginny went to the library to look up some details for their essays. Ron sat on the couch and pulled Hermione on top of him and started to kiss her. After a few minutes Hermione pulled away, "we really ought to do our homework so that we don't have to do it tonight."
"Yea, you're right, let's go up to my room, its quieter up there." said Ron as he got up and started to lead Hermione to the stairs.
Hermione got her books and followed Ron to his dorm. When they got there the room was empty. They sat on his bed and worked on their essays.
"Hey 'Mione, since you are done with your essay can you help me with mine?" He asked her a little while later when Hermione was practicing for Charms.
"Yea, sure," she answered as she put her wand and book down.
Hermione helped Ron finish his essay and then they practiced for Charms together.
Hermione couldn't concentrate on the charm any longer and she pushed the books off the bed as she pushed Ron backwards and started to his him enthusiastically. He returned the kiss as he started to unbutton her blouse but then he stopped.
"No, keep going Ron, don't stop." She said as he finished unbuttoning her blouse and gently massaged her breasts.
As Ron kissed Hermione one hand slipped under her skirt and started to go beneath her panties. He hesitated for a moment but then Hermione pulled her panties off for him. As his fingers found their way to her hot wet center his other hand gently massaged her breasts.
Just then the door burst open. "Ohh shit, I didn't realize that you guys were in here!" screamed Harry as he ran out and slammed the door behind him.
Hermione pulled away, "maybe we should wait for another time, when things are.. a bit more private," she said as she pulled her panties back on and re-buttoned her blouse.
"Yea, I think that would be a good idea." Ron said as started to practice for Charms.
oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
Once they were done with their homework it was time for dinner and they walked down to the Great Hall together.
"Hey guys," Harry winked at them, "have a good time doing your 'homework?'"
"Shut up Harry," said Ron as he slapped him on the back of the head.
They all ate their dinner while chatting excitedly about everything that had been going on lately (with the exception of their 'homework'). When dinner was over they all went back to the common room and sat around the fire for a little while.
At around 10 o'clock Hermione said, "Hey Gin, let's go up to bed now, I think I found an answer to that question you asked me the other day."
"What question?" asked Ginny confused.
"That question that you had!" Hermione said with a 'just come with me!' tone in her voice.
"Ohh right, I remember." Said Ginny catching on.
"What question?" asked Harry and Ron together.
"Don't worry about it, its girl stuff," answered Ginny quickly.
oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
"So what did you need to talk about?" asked Ginny as Hermione closed the door to their dorm.
"Well I need to ask you a favor, can you help me with something?" asked Hermione.
"Yea, of course, anything." Asked Ginny wondering what Hermione needed.
"Well, I'm not sure how to ask you, 'cause Ron is your brother and all," she started, "but well, every time that we are together we get interrupted. Like after the dance you and Harry came to the room in that secret passage way."
"Ohh, right sorry about that." interrupted Ginny.
"Don't worry about it," continued Hermione, "and then earlier today Harry came into their dorm. And well we never seem to be able to find a place that is private enough, if you know what I mean."
"Well, what exactly do you guys want to get accomplished?" asked Ginny.
"Well I don't really know, but like I just want to have alone time with him where we can do whatever we want, and we can see where things go." Hermione answered.
"And you want me to help you find a place?" asked Ginny.
"Yes," answered Hermione, "but like I wanted you to tell Harry and then he can tell Ron that he thinks it would be a good idea for him. So then basically Ron takes me somewhere romantic to spend time with him without him knowing that it was my idea."
"Ohh, I get it, so you basically want to get with Ron but have him think that it was his idea?" asked Ginny.
"Yea, like I want him to think that I don't know anything about it, like it's a surprise." responded Hermione.
"Alright, sure, I can help you with that."
"Thanks Gin, you're the best!"
