A date for Christmas
Weeks passed and soon Hogwarts grounds were covered with shiny white snow. Hagrid had decorated the school with the usual twelve Christmas trees. Crystal snowflakes were hanging from the enchanted ceiling and various swan shaped Ice sculptures were placed on each table of the Great Hall. Everything was happiness and for a long time in Hogwarts you could feela true Christmas spirit.
Ron and Hermione had been dating for a month and everything had gone very well except for the times they had had their usual fights but this time they were smaller fights that ended or with a hard slapping Hermione or a good kissing session in the common room, library, lake, kitchens, etc.

END OF FLASHBACK
One cold day of December Ron woke up with a start. He suddenly remembered that that day was his 1 month anniversary. He looked around as if hoping for a gift to appear magically.
'Dammit… HERMIONE! I forgot… I knew it! I should have bought it last week… Ohshe is going to kill me … What should I do' "Harry! Wake up mate! I forgot to buy Hermione's present! Wake up Harry DAMMIT -shakes Harry's bed -HARRY - throws away his blankets -WAKE UP!"
"What's wrong with you…? Damn Ron look at your face" Harry said with a laugh.
"What's wrong with me? Hermione's going to kill me, that's what's wrong with me" Ron said looking rather shocked.
"I see - answered Harry trying not to laugh -Well mate I think it is over. You are dead - laughs at his friend's shocked face - come on I'm just joking. We'll figure something out. Come on lets head up for breakfast, I dont thnink Hermione is going to be waiting for you this early" 'You are so dead Ronald...'
They went down in to the common room but unfortunately found Hermione waiting for them. Ron looked as if he was in front of a bunch of spiders.
"Morning Ron – she said smiling – Harry"
"Morning" They said
"Ron I am so excited. You can open my gift first, Go on – she said as she handed Ron a bright blue package – open it"
"Uhmm… Hermione"
"Well guys I don't want to interrupt so I better…" Harry started.
"Harry! What are you doing here? I thought you would be already eating breakfast! Come on! I'm starving" said Ginny looking really impatient.
"Right! Going Ginny – he looked at Ron and whispered – Good luck mate" and with that he ran off the common room leaving his best friend to face alone his love life suicide.
"Ron? Aren't you going to open it?"
"Yeah yes of course but Hermione there's something I have to tell you first"
"What is it – she said smiling anxiously – is it a surprise? - she gave 3 little jumps - Oh Ronald I love surprises" she finished looking really exited.
"No it is not a surprise Hermione"
"Then what is it?"
"Its just that I…"
"You forgot our anniversary right?" - she asked... her eyes starting to water
"I'm so sorry Hermione"
"That's so typical of you Ronald! - she said, lookingat the floor -I should have known that you wouldn't change!" She screamed, crying, making Ron feel like he was the worse living thing in the whole world, including Malfoy.
"Come on Hermione, It's just a silly present"
"Oh just a silly present? Well NEWS FLASH! I'm not crying because of a silly present I'm crying because MY BOYFRIEND forgot it was our anniversary or I should say MY EX BOYFRIEND"
"No Hermione wait! Don't go please! HERMIONE WAIT" he grabbed her arm.
"WHAT? - she let go - DONT TOUCH ME! I don't want to be near you! Right now – she stopped, thinking what she was about to say, and then she pronounced the words he had been fearing the most – I HATE YOU! And here, you can have your SILLY PRESENT" she said throwing him the present and storming out of the common room.
Ron couldn't believe what just happened. He grabbed the present and turned around to seat near the fire place. It was a cold Saturday morning; everybody should be outside playing with the snow he though. He ripped the paper and discovered a cute picture frame decorated with sparkling stars and shiny words that read: 'I LOVE YOU RON' and they would change into something like 'HAPPY ANIVERSARY'. Ron felt sick. He was in trouble. He had broken her heart, he knew it.
'God … This is beautiful… Hermione is so talented… Wonder which spells she used to make the stars shine and the words to appear and disappear… How could I forget…? She's the only thing that really matters… I was so stupid... This fight is so stupid... Why does she have to be so moody sometimes... she hates me … Dammit…' Ron was thinking to himself as he felt a lonely tear running down his face. Suddenly he heard someone entering and wiped the tears of his face.
"Ron are you ok?" It was Seamus, he looked worried.
"Yeah sure Seamus, why shouldn't I?" Ron answered nervously
"Well… maybe because I was having breakfast and – he stopped and looked at Ron – mate promise me you won't go mad"
"Just say it; I'm not in the mood"
"Well I saw Hermione crying and well... then that guy... Sebastian... he sort of... came to her and... touched her..."
"WHAT? WHAT DO YOU MEAN TOUCHED HER?"
"NOOO NOOO RON! God... not that kind of touch... he well... he held her hands... - he continued quicklyas he saw that Ron was about to say something - And yes Ron, I'm sure that he held her hands and that it was NO PRODUCT OF MY IMAGINATION, I was with Harry, in fact he sent me to check if you were ok"
"But… - he lowered his gaze - I mean… Today it is our anniversary… - said Ron mostly to himself, he felt hot tears run down his face and then looked up at Seamus – I'm killing him man, I really am"
"I'll help you"
"Come on, let's go"
They ran into the Great Hall but they weren't there so they went outside and found them sitting on a bench near the lake.
"YOU… YOU SON OF A…" screamed Ron, his wand raised.
"RONALD! What's your problem!" screamed Hermione frighten at Ron's face.
"DON'T TALK TO ME!TRAITOR – he couldn't breathe, he felt Seamus hand in his back – YOU ARE THE MOST UNFAITHFUL PERSON IVE MET IN MY WHOLE LIFE! NOW ITS ME WHO HATES YOU" 'What? ... mm.. it was him who held her hand RONALD! dont screw this up ... pleas Ronald... say you are sorry for screaming at her ... Fck she's crying!'
"SHUT UP WEASLY! DON'T SCREAM AT HER – Sebastian turned to see Hermione's crying face -What's wrong Hermione? I thought you said you werent together" he finished.
"OH NOW WE ARE NOT TOGETHER HERMIONE?" Ron answered
"What? NO RON I DIDNT MEAN THAT!" said Hermione trying to release herself from Sebastian hands
Ron turned around and started walking really fast, so fast Seamus was finding it hard to keep up. He bumped in tothat pretty Gryffindor 4th year and without thinking about it he asked her loudly:
"HEY OLGA! LOVELY LIKE ALWAYS YOU ARE - Olga looked at him puzzled -WOULD YOU COME TO THE CHRISTMAS BALL WITH ME?" ' NO NO NO RONALD WHAT ARE YOU DOING... STOP IT RIGHT NOW... SAY YOU WERE DRUNK OR POISONED... SAY SOMETHING... GO BACK TO HERMIONE...'
"Oh well Ron! That is certainly a surprise"
"WILL YOU?" he knew Hermione was listening.
"Oh but… Aren't you going out with Hermione Granger?"
"Who? Little Miss Perfect? Nah…" 'You are regretting this one... God... WHAT ARE YOU DOING RONALD'
"Oh well in that case, Ok I'll go with you" she smiled.
"Good – he leaned and kissed her on the cheek – DID I MENTION YOU ARE THE MOST BEAUTIFUL GIRL AT HOGWARTS?"
"No – she laughed – but thank you anyway"
"Well… Let's go for a walk, want to?"
"Sure"
"Man what about me?" asked Seamus
"Oh sorry Seamy, I'll come back later, I've got to take this BEAUTIFUL LADY for a walk"
"Oh right… well see ya" said Seamus.
Ron grabbed Olga's hand really hard as he passed next to Hermione who was crying silently avoiding his striking blue eyes.
'This is it… I knew it was too good to be true … I'm sorry Hermione … But… It was you who made me do this…' Ron thought as he left Hermione crying in Sebastian's arms behind him.
'Whats wrong with him... Cant believe that happened... I mean... This is just a fight... Tomorrow it will be like it never happened... right?... Gosh Hermione you are crying in Sebastian's arms... you dont even like Sebastian...'
Hermione released herself from Sebastian's embrace and went running to the girls dormitory, bumping into someone every once in a while... but that... Ron didnt see it...
A/N: I know some of you might hate me right now... but this was necessary.. believe me! ITS WORTH IT! ... Ron might be little rough and mm... irrational, but HEY HES RONALD WEASLEY!... and Hermione a little materialistic? NO! I want to make clear that the fight WAS NOT about a SILLY PRESENT... but because she though that Ron.. being Ron.. forgot about a really special date... their anniversary... Srry if theres any grammar mistake... READ AND REVIEW! hugs & kisses...
