Hey guys! Sorry this took so long, combination writers' block, and lack of motivation was the cause. I know the chapters are still short... but I'm still getting the hang of this. So thanks for sticking with me anyways!

Disclaimer: If you think I own Harry Potter, you've got another thing comin'

Harry's mind was racing as he slowly pushed open the door to Ron's bedroom. I mean… Ron and Hermione? NO! Well, the signs have always been there, ever since 4th year… hmm, well let's just see if they fess up.

"HARRY!" screamed an ecstatic Hermione as she ran into his arm for a hug. "Happy Birthday," she whispered into his ear.

"Hey mate," Ron said as he pried Hermione off Harry and pulled him in for a "manly" hug. "How were the relatives? Hopefully not too bad… or else I might get drastic."

"Hah. Nothing more than their normal torture. Besides, I never have to set foot in that house again, now that I'm of age." Harry replied.

"Yah, thank goodness for that…"

"So how long have you been here?" Ron asked in a nervous tone.

"Oh not too long, I ran into Ginny on the way up and she told me happy birthday, and then I came straight up here." Harry said, wondering if Ron somehow knew he heard the last part of Hermione and his conversation.

"Oh ok, well we have quite the birthday lunch planned for you. It would have been a huge dinner, but Bill and Fleur are arriving tonight with her family, so mom decided we'd do a big lunch for you instead."

"Wow, that's more then enough, you're mom always out does herself."

"Speaking of your mom, I'm gonna head downstairs to see if she needs any help with all the food. I'll leave you two to do some catching up." Hermione said as she walked out of the door.

"All right see you later," Ron said almost too quickly, as he stared after her.

After about a minute of Ron staring at the empty staircase where Hermione had just exited, Harry waved his hand in front of his best friends face. "Earth to Ron…"

"Oh, what? Sorry."

"So how long has this been going on?" Harry said with a smirk on his face.

"Wh-what'd mean?" Ron said nervously, he cheeks turning slightly pink.

"Oh c'mon man… You just stared after her like some love sick puppy, best friends just don't do that… unless, something else is going on between you two…" Harry said, trying not to burst out laughing at the look on Ron's face, as he realized the secret was out.

"Ugh, ok FINE! It started yesterday." Ron replied.

"Oh, details please," Harry said sarcastically.

Ron proceeded to tell Harry how he and Hermione had gone for an early morning walk, and ended up snogging under one of the trees in the Burrow's yard.

"But you can't tell anyone, because we don't want to take away from Bill and Fleur's big day," Ron finished.

"Ya, ok I won't say anything." Harry promised.

"RON! Can you come help me with the table please?" Mrs. Weasley yelled up from the kitchen.

"I'll be right there mom! You coming, Harry?"

"Right behind you."

As Ron and Harry descended the stairs, Ginny came out her room.

"Um, Harry, can we talk?"

"Sure Gin…" Harry said nervously, getting a tentative look from Ron. "I'll catch up with you later mate."

Harry turned away from Ron and walked into Ginny's room. He had been in her room before, but it was always on a friendly basis. Now, he somehow knew this conversation would not be one of the best between them two. Letting out an inner sigh, he sat down next to her on the bed.

"Harry, I can't take this for much longer…"

You know the drill...
