( I love leaving readers in the dust but here it is. This may be a shocking chapter.)

" I LOVE YOU!" Ron said.
He started to get up and go out but Hermione grabbed his arm , pulled him back and..

She pushed him down on her pillow of her bed. Leaned in and kissed him.

She thought what am I going?

Ron thoughts were ……………………………………

She leaned back up.

Ron just sat there amazed. He never would have imagined in a million years that , that would have happened.
He grabbed Hermione's head and kissed her back.
Before they knew it they were kissing each other!

Hermione thought Wow! He is actually good at this! Wait not good, Great!

Ron did not think.

Hermione leaned up and laid beside Ron. He held her as if he would never let her go.
Hermione was surprised. She actually felt safe inside of Ron's arms.

Meanwhile….

Harry, Frodo, Merry, Pippin, and Legolas sat in the next room.
It was quiet.

Legolas heard what Ron had said because Ron said it so loud. He was deep in thought.

He had no idea of what they might be doing in the next room. What was her reaction? Maybe I should pretend I did not hear. Yes that is what I will do. For now at least.


Harry knew what the elf had heard. He knew what he might be thinking so he tried to make him forget about it.

"Ever seen a Flyin Car?" Harry asked

Legolas did not answer.
"No? Well Ron's dad has one." Harry replied to himself.

Oh god! I said Ron's name! That did not help! Bloody hell! Harry thought
"Ok…" Harry said "So… What up?"
No reply.
Well this is awkward. Harry thought
So he just kept quiet.

Back in the Other Room….

" I have never opened up to you like this before, Ron" Hermione said

" I just don't know what to do."

"About what?" Ron said feeling more laid back around Hermione.
" I don't know who to like or love" she replied "You, Krum, or Legolas"
"Personally I think you should forget about Legolas." Ron said " and Krum."
"So that means pick you" Hermione replied. " I don't know. I mean we are kind of rushing into this."

"Well at first you rushed into liking Legolas and you just met him! You have known me practically forever so it would not really be rushing into it." Ron said
"I need to think." She said.
"Want me to leave?" he said
"No! Stay please. I feel weird to say this but I feel safe in your arms."
Ron was happy for once. He felt proud to like Hermione even though his friends might laugh (not Harry).

Next thing he knew it Hermione was asleep in his arms.

Soon Ron fell fast asleep too.

The next morning……

Hermione awakened with Ron beside her. Oh no! I fell asleep! And Ron is beside me! Hermione thought. What are we going to do?

Hermione woke up Ron.
"What's wrong?" he asked
"We fell asleep" She replied "Together. On accident! If I go out somebody will see me! Then they will know what happened because they will know you are in here!"
"I know what we can do." He said.
"What?"
"I kinda "borrowed" Harry's invisibility cloak about a week ago." He said
"May I ask why?" Hermione asked.
"Uh…. Sure. I kinda went into your room that your are staying in here and I watched you."
"Uhhhhhhh Ok….." she said surprised.
"Here" He handed her the cloak.
She put it on and opened the door slightly and carefully. She looked around. Nobody. It was safe..

When she reached her door Legolas came around the corner. She gasped. He looked around wonderingly.
Then shook his head, walked down the hall to the stairs. Hermione went in her room hoping that nobody expected that she had used the cloak.
She got dressed and laid on her bed and thought about Ron.

Ron was in his room already got dressed while Hermione was in the hallway making her way to her room. He was stretched out on his bed thinking about Hermione.

Harry was in his room and had been dressed for about two hours wondering, where Hermione was and why he had not seen her all night.

When it was 11:00AM Harry, Ron, and Hermione went out of their rooms and ran into each other in the hallway.

"Hey." Harry said.
"Hey." Ron said.
"Hi." Hermione said.
Ron and Hermione exchanged glances.
"So.. Where you two all night?" Harry asked

"Uhhhh. Tell ya later." Ron replied "If it is ok with Hermione."
Hermione nodded.
They went downstairs. They saw the fellowship already awake, dressed, and eating except for Legolas.
He was not eating anything but just staring at Ron.
"Why, it is nice to see you three finally down here." Gandalf said

"Yes. Well remember Hogwarts the school we told you all about?" Harry said
"Yes" Frodo said.
"Well we have go there in two days" Harry said "We have to catch the train. Hogwarts express on platform 9 and three quarters tomorrow."

"Well what shall we do?" Merry asked

"I guess you could come…." Harry said hesitantly Ron put his hand up to his face.

Hermione just thought I wonder if Legolas knows what happened?

"Ok so we should probably start packing tonight." Harry exclaimed.

"Sure." Said Frodo.

Ron started to go upstairs and said "I will start packing now…" He glanced at Hermione.

"Me to!" She said.
They both ran upstairs.

Everyone heard the door slam of Ron's room.

Nobody ever heard Hermione's.
