Chapter 2

Once everyone was in the courtyard they began to pile into carriage. They all bolted to get to the biggest carriage so they could all be together with out splitting up. First all the boys lined up on the side allowing the girls in the carriage ahead of them. They all walked in one bye one: Cho, Hermione, Ginny, and Cho's Giggling friends. Then the guys pile in behind them. When in the carriage, the carriage pulled off.

Once in Hogsmede Hermione made a difficult decision.
" This could completely destroy my friendship with him forever. But I think its risk I'm willing to take… I don't know…"

While Hermione was thinking Cho walked over to Ron who was looking at the big lollipops.

"Hey, Ron" said Cho smiling.

"Oh hey Cho" said Ron turning his attention away from the lollipops and turning it to Cho.

"Hey, Ron I know someone who likes you.." said Cho shooting him a devious smile.

"What? Oh is it one of you non-stop giggle pack friends?" Ron said with a smirk

"Nooo." Said Cho with a giggle. " Try Hermione.

Ron turned around with his jaw dropped and stared at Cho's milky skin. He straightened up and looked at her.

"Your joking." He said without moving his eyes from hers.

"No Ron she's crazy about you. That's why she's so dressed up today can't you see? Don't be thick"

"That's impossible Hermione granger doesn't love…me. You must have heard wrong."

"Nope I heard perfectly. So what are you gonna do about it?" said Cho walking closer to him.

"What am I suppose to do?" Said Ron beginning to shout.

"Ask her out, what else?" Said Cho as she went behind Ron and pushed him towards Hermione.

Same time as when Cho walks up to Ron

"Ok Hermione' ol girl what to do what to do. Walk up and say…. I like you… but what if he rejects me?" thought Hermione.
"Well I guess I'll never know unless I jus tell him.

Hermione began to look for him expecting him to be by the Lollipops when Fred stood in front of her.

"OK well here it goes" Thought Ron he began walking towards Hermione who was now talking to Fred.

"I guess I'll wait till she's done talking to Fred." Thought Ron

Back to Hermione and Fred

"Oh hey Fred, whatcha got there?" Said Hermione pointing a to a back of what seemed to be jelly beans.

"Oh these are Sleeping Jelly Beans, want to try one?" Said Fred gesturing the bag towards Hermione.

"No thanks" said Hermione glancing at Ron.
"Hey Fred can tell you something?"

"Sure" said Fred Tossing a jelly bean at George's head.

"Fred, I……like you……." Said Hermione pinching her fingers and look towards the ground.

"What?" Said Fred turning his full attention to Hermione who was now looking straight into his eyes.

" I like you…. A lot." Said Hermione not taking her eyes off of him.

"Hermione…" said Fred his voice sounding intense.

"I know you could never like me…. I'm, a bookworm, too young, not your type-"
Hermione was cut off.

"No no I was going to say I like you too" said Fred grabbing her shoulders.

Fred grabbed her shoulders and pulled her close and allowed his soft pink lips to barely touch hers then pulled her closer in the warmest embrace Hermione has ever felt. She could feel his soft red hair brushing across her scarlet face. She felt as if floating on a cloud. He smelled of cinnamon and spices, she never wanted to let go. His arms around her felt so warm.

back to Ron
"wow her and Fred are talking a pretty long time" said Ron quietly to himself. "why is he holding her shoulders?" Ron once again said to himself.

"Why is he KISSING HERMIONE!" Shouted Ron not even realizing he was shouting.
