Chapter 4

Hermione's stare hardened and met Ron's calm and slightly amused one.

"I'll tell you once you let go of Me." she hissed as she gave a tug at her arm.

"What's wrong with being reasonable and telling me right now?" he asked logically as he tugged back.

"Reasonable?" she spat. "You call grabbing me and manhandling -"

"If you consider this manhandling, then you live a very sheltered life." countered Ron.

Hermione's creamy complexion turning pink. "My life is none of your concern."

"Thank God."

"And stop looking at me like you're thinking about some hilarious joke, with me as the bunt." she added hotly.

Ron gave a chuckle and Hermione silently said an oath. She was annoyed at the chuckle and was even more annoyed that it she found it appealing.
"You? The bunt of my joke? Of course there nothing funny about this situation." he said with a straight face, but Hermione caught the gleam of merriment in his eyes.

"Ron, let go of me now or, I swear, I give you something to laugh about and push you to the ground!" she said dangerously.

Ron struggled to keep his composure. They both knew that him bursting into a laugh would do him no good. Instead, he pulled Hermione's body to his so that their mouths were only a whisper away. He had the pleasure of seeing Hermione's emotions reflect through her eyes. What was once burning anger, slowly became confusion, then became nervousness.

He flashed an amiable grin, "Well, since you asked so nicely, Hermione..", and released her.

Hermione stared at him, then walked to the table across from the doorway and leaned her back against it to face him. Better keep my distance, she thought to herself.

Ron smiled at the action.

"I'm staying here for a month." she said simply after a few moments of silence. "Just visiting."

So this is the mysterious and insufferable visitor, concluded Ron. Well, at least I'm comfortable enough not to always keep a polite facade when I'm around her. Unfortunately, she's still pretty insufferable.

"Oh, alright." was all Ron said.

"Since telling me a simple answer probably gave you a strained muscle, I thank you." he said coolly.

"I hear you're a muggle painter." Ron continued.

"Yes, I am." Hermione confirmed haughtily.

"Interesting." he said laconically. He gave a slight nod of his head and exited up the stairs.

Hermione stood where she was and sighed wearily. She cursed Ronald Weasley for being aggravating the whole time of their conversation. The arrogant boar. We haven't seen each other for eight years, one would think he'd have more sense than grabbing me. A platonic embrace would've done.

She cursed him again for making her heart race.
