1Chapter 6
On the way back to Hogwarts from Hogsmeade, Hermione and Ron argued with each other. They were in the entrance hall when they bumped into Harry.
"Why are you two arguing?" asked Harry, trying to be heard through the chaos.
"Ronald here intruded in on my date with Frederick," said Hermione cooly
"That guy Frederick is a git, anyway," said Ron.
"How would you know?" asked Hermione with an attitude.
"I don't, but he just seems like one," replied Ron.
"Ugh...Ron. Sometimes I just don't understand you," Hermione said, with more of a calm tone.
"Why did you intrude on the date, Ron?" Harry questioned.
"Like I said, I think he's a git, and a moron too," Ron answered. Then the entrance hall doors opened and Frederick walked in. "Aw, here we go again," said Ron under his breath.
"Hermione," Frederick said as he approached her. "I was wondering if you wanted to go on another date to Hogsmeade next time we get to go," he said to her.
"Of course you'd want that,"said Ron, in an annoyed voice.
"I beg your pardon," responded Frederick.
"You heard what I said. Anyway, I bet you only like her for her looks anyway. Come on, tell me 3 things about Hermione," said Ron. There was a pause.
"Uh...she has bushy hair, um...eyes, and um...uh...teeth...," replied Frederick in a nervous tone.
"You know anything else?" asked Ron, with his eyebrow raised.
"Well, she's a girl...wait, why should I answer this? It's not like anything really matters...," said Frederick. Hermione looked at Frederick with a disgusted look.
"How dare you say that about her? She is an amazing, wonderful, clever girl! Sure she is beautiful, but there is much more under that. She's a great friend, she's hard working, and she is what I think plenty of guys could want in a girl and she would make one heck of a girlfriend!" snapped Ron, in a stern voice. Everything just paused for a second, and Harry and Hermione looked at each other, then looked at Ron, with their mouths ajar.
"Ron, I...I didn't know you thought that..." Hermione said, still shocked.
"Who cares what he thinks? So, are you going on the date with me or what?" asked Frederick. Hermione just looked at him.
"Frederick, do us all a favor and leave," Hermione replied. Frederick looked a bit surprised, but then he turned and left. Hermione then turned to Ron.
"So, Hermione, would you like to go with me to Hogsmeade next time?" questioned Ron.
"I'd love to," said Hermione, with a grin. Harry looked at the both of them.
"It's about time this day came," said Harry, smiling. They all laughed and walked out to the castle grounds.
