Chapter Four

When Ron awoke the next morning, he remembered hearing what he did with the Chameleon Ears last night. He immediately got up to check and make sure that Hermione and Ginny hadn't killed Lavender or Parvati yet. He found Harry already dressed. They hurried to the Head Common room. Ron smiled when he saw Hermione asleep at the desk with a quill held loosely in her hands. Harry walked over to Ginny and laid down on the couch next to her. Ron walked over to Hermione and took the sweatshirt he brought and put it around her. He looked at the list for her book and laughed to himself before lifting her up and bringing her to a couch. She stirred as he lay her down and sat with her head in his lap.

"Good Morning." Hermione said as she sat up and rested her head on his shoulder.

"Morning." He said with a smile as he looked at her.

"What are you two doing here?" Hermione asked as she looked at Harry and Ginny talking on the couch.

"We wanted to make sure that you two didn't kill anyone." Ron said with a laugh. "Although I wouldn't have minded there would be too many questions." Hermione laughed.

"When did you two stop listening?" She asked.

"After Lavender and Parvati's second conversation." Ron said. "I'm glad to see you fixed your hair, because you love me so much!" Ron smiled. Hermione laughed but then turned serious.

"It was scary! You should have seen it!" Hermione said. Ron chuckled.

"I think I'm glad that I didn't." Ron said. Lavender and Parvati started to stir. They sat up and looked around.

"I see you fixed your hair Hermione." Parvati said with a rude tone and a glare at Ron. Ron looked extremely offended.

"I think it looks nice." Ron said approvingly as he hugged Hermione.

"You would." Lavender muttered but they all heard it.

"What was that?" Ginny asked. "I didn't quite catch it." She was laying on the couch next to Harry and glaring at Lavender.

"I said that I need to go see Seamus now." Lavender said as she stood up and started to gather her stuff. Parvati stood up too. Hermione stood up but Ron pulled her back down onto the couch when he saw that she was planning on going after Lavender. Lavender and Parvati gathered their stuff and started for the portrait hole.

"This was fun!" Parvati exclaimed.

"Yeah we should do this every Friday!" Lavender agreed. Hermione and Ginny raised their eyebrows and looked at each other, alarmed. Harry and Ron laughed.

"No, not every Friday!" Ron said. "I barley get to see Hermione as it is." Lavender and Parvati beamed.

"Aw, you two are perfect for each other!" Parvati exclaimed. They walked out without another word about a sleepover.

"Thank God!" Hermione exclaimed once they were gone. Ron and Harry laughed harder. They all went back to the common room so Hermione and Ginny could change before breakfast. After breakfast, Hermione carried parchment, a quill, and a few books in her bag outside to finish writing out the ideas she had for her book. She also had some of the papers that McGonagall gave her on writing a book.

"Good luck!" Hermione yawned to Ron.

"Mione, you should get some sleep. You've been up all night." Ron told her.

"Uh huh." Hermione said with another yawn. "Love you too." She said dazed before heading off to the stands. Ron watched her go with a big smile on his face. Harry came up next to him and looked from Ron to Hermione walking to the stands.

"You two are really happy aren't you?" He asked. Ron turned to Harry because he noticed that Harry was there. Ron couldn't help but smile.

"Yeah I guess we are." Ron said. "But aren't we all since the war is over?"

"Yeah." Harry responded looking at Ginny talking amiably with Demelza. "We are." They went to practice and the whole team worked well together. Ron knew that Dean could never be as good of a chaser as Katie but he had to admit that Dean didn't do a bad job. When they took a break for lunch Ron, Harry, and Ginny went up to the stands to check on Hermione because she didn't come down. They found her laying down on her stomach atop a bench in the stands. Papers were scattered in front of her and behind her. Ron heard her slow breathing and laughed.

"We'll see you in the Great Hall." Ginny told him quietly. Ron nodded as they both left for lunch. He walked over to Hermione and bent his head down near her ear.

"Hermione wake up! Your gunna miss the N.E.W.T.s!" Ron said into her ear. He watched as she shot straight up and her alarmed look turned into a glare.

"That is not funny!" She said. "I've had nightmares about that!" Ron sniggered.

"Sorry." He said with a smile. He started to help Hermione gather her things into her bag. Ron noticed that he still had his broom in his hands. "Come on I want to show you something." He said as he threw Hermione's bag over his shoulder and showed her the broom.

"No way!" Hermione exclaimed as she backed off.

"Come on Hermione please!" Ron begged. "I won't let you fall again. I'll be with you the whole time." He said in a reassuring voice that Hermione couldn't say no to. She sighed.

"Fine." She said. Ron helped her onto the broom and sat behind her with his arms tightly around her for security and she did in fact feel secure with Ron's arms around her.

"Fly up that way." Ron said. Hermione directed the broom, cautiously, to where Ron had pointed. Hermione was taking deep breaths and trying not to look down but eventually curiosity got the best of her and she took a peek. When she saw the distance from the ground to where they were, she immediately screamed and shut her eyes tight. Ron put his hands over hers to help steer. "Mione relax." Ron said.

"No, I can't!" Hermione exclaimed. "I can't!" She repeated. Ron smiled and fixed her so that she was leaning into him and he had full control over the broom. He found the spot in the sky he was looking for and stopped the broom.

"Mione, look." Ron told her.

"No, we're a billion feet in the air. I don't like this! We should go back down." Hermione said.

"Not until you look." Ron said. He kissed her on the top of her head and she opened one eye. When she looked to where Ron was pointing the height no longer bothered her. In front of her she saw the Hogwarts castle from up so high. It was like seeing out of the pages of Hogwarts A History. This was the first time she had actually seen the whole entire school in real life and not in the pages of books. She saw the Quidditch pitch, where they just left, and the lake. Everything looked more beautiful and peaceful up in the air. And this was what was distracting Hermione from how high they were off of the ground. "What do you think?" Ron asked with a smile. "Was it worth opening your eyes for?"

"Oh my god! Ron this is beautiful! Defiantly worth opening my eyes for!" Hermione exclaimed. Ron smiled and kissed her head again.

"I thought you would like it!" He said.

"Well I do." Hermione said with a broad smile. They sat there and enjoyed the view for a bit until they decided to go down.

By the time they got to the ground lunch was already over. Ron had to go back to practice complaining of an empty stomach so he gave Hermione her bag and she went to talk to Tonks before she went to sleep some. Ron had told her that if she didn't sleep than they wouldn't be able to hang out later because she would be too tired. Hermione sighed and went into the castle. She was curious as to where Tonks would be on a Saturday afternoon. She decided to try her office first. Hermione went to Tonks's office and knocked on the door. She heard giggling and then a gasp.

"Who is it?" Tonks asked from inside the door. Hermione heard whispering from inside and it sounded like Lupin.

"Er… it's Hermione." Hermione said. The door opened and Tonks was standing there looking a bit frazzled.

"Hi!" Tonks said. By the desk she could see Lupin looking a bit frazzled himself.

"Er… I could come back later." Hermione said.

"No it's alright." Tonks said. "Come in." Lupin nodded. Hermione cautiously walked in. She was afraid to ask what Lupin was doing there. "So what's on your mind?" Tonks asked.

"Well I just dropped in to say hi because the others are at practice." Hermione responded. "But I could come back later, really." Hermione insisted.

"No it's alright. Remus just stopped by to…uh…" Tonks searched for a lie. Hermione raised her eyebrows.

"To say hi." Lupin interjected.

"Yeah say hi." Tonks said. Hermione nodded disbelievingly.

"I actually have a lot of homework. I'll see you later though." Hermione said as she backed up towards the door. "Bye Lupin. I'll see you… well maybe later." Hermione quickly walked out the door and quickly away from Tonks's office. She didn't know where she was going but she knew that she would not be able to sleep. She walked around for a bit until she knew practice was almost over. Then she went to the kitchens to get food for Ron. She met them as they were coming in.

"Food!" Ron exclaimed happily as he wrapped Hermione in a hug.

"I have to tell you guys something." Hermione said.

"What is it?" Harry asked seriously. Ron stopped eating and looked to Hermione.

"Just come with me and I'll tell you." Hermione said.

"Where are we going?" Ginny asked as they followed Hermione. She led them under a tree and they all looked to her.

"I went to go see Tonks a while ago." Hermione said.

"What's wrong with her?" Ginny asked.

"Nothing, but she wasn't alone." Hermione said.

"Who was with her?" Harry asked.

"Lupin." Hermione said. They all looked strangely at her.

"What was he doing here?" Ron asked. Hermione grimaced.

"Honestly Ronald do I have to spell it out for you?" Hermione asked. Ron scowled but didn't fight back to Harry and Ginny's surprise.

"They seriously were...uh...fooling around in Tonks's office?" He asked with an awestruck face.

"Well it sounded like it." Hermione said with a shrug. Ron, Harry, and Ginny grimaced. "No, no!" Hermione said quickly. "I meant I heard laughing and then when the door opened they were both in there and kinda looked like they had been just minutes before."

"We're talking about Tonks and Lupin now right?" Ron doubled-checked. Hermione nodded.

"What did you do?" Harry asked.

"I said that I would come back later but she kept insisting that I come in and then they made up this stupid lie and I said that I had homework and left." Hermione answered.

"And you're sure on what you saw?" Harry asked to triple-check. Hermione sighed and rolled her eyes.

"No I lied to you this whole time." Hermione said in a sarcastic tone. "Of course I'm sure you prat!"

"Here they come." Ginny said. Harry looked straight ahead and Hermione and Ron turned around to see Lupin and Tonks walking toward them. Apparently they had fixed themselves. When they took seats on the ground next to them neither Ron, Harry, Hermione, nor Ginny said a word. They looked uncomfortable and Tonks and Lupin weren't exactly sure where to start. Harry finally got up enough courage to start a conversation.

"What are you doing here Lupin?" Harry asked. Lupin went a little pink and Tonks's face matched her hair.

"I…uh came to see Tonks." Lupin said shyly.

"I always knew you two would end up together." Ron said in a voice that only Hermione could tell had just the tiniest hint of sarcasm in. It was the same way that everyone had said that about them. Hermione smiled into Ron's shoulder. Ron could still see that Lupin and Tonks were blushing.

"So does this mean we'll be seeing more of you around here?" Harry asked.

"Yeah it does." Lupin said as he put an arm around Tonks. Ginny smiled at them. "So how did Quidditch practice go?" Lupin asked, eager to change the topic. Quidditch managed to get the topic changed and then Hermione figured that she should take advantage of Lupin being here so she engaged him in a conversation on Werewolf segregation. Eventually they said goodbye and went into the castle. They went to dinner and had to endure more jibes from Lavender.

"Hermione, you should just try your hair like that for a while." Lavender urged. "Ron tell her that her hair looks nice when it's straight." Ron scowled into his food. "Seriously Parvati and I could fix it again so it actually looks nice." Hermione was fuming and didn't want to get into a fight so she dropped her silverware and stood up. She marched out of the hall with her hands clenched in fists. Ron took a sad look at his food before following her out of the hall.

"Just because your jealous doesn't mean you have to continuously go on about her hair. And don't try and deny that you're jealous because we all know you are." Ginny said. "You did it to me and Hermione. And as a business tip, if you want to open a beauty salon learn what the meaning of beauty is first!" Ginny said as she threw her silverware down and followed Ron and Hermione. Harry looked at Lavender, Parvati, Dean, and Seamus's shocked faces.

"Seriously Lavender, if your trying to redeem yourself after that love potion thing I think that you should stop talking like that in front of Hermione and Ron because that isn't making you any friends." Harry said before following Ginny out the door. He found them outside of the Great Hall in the Entrance Hall. He walked up to them. "Are you alright Hermione?" Harry asked.

"No." Hermione answered. "I'm about this close to slamming my fist into her face!" She said angrily as she held up two fingers to show a small distance between them.

"Go ahead Granger." Someone said from behind them. They turned to find Malfoy and Pansy standing by the corridor that led to the Slytherin common room. "I would like to see you punch her and then see your perfect little record get messed up." Malfoy said. Pansy giggled.

"Who is it this time?" Pansy asked. "Is it one of your Gryffindor mates?" Ron opened his mouth to retort angrily and was reaching for his wand but Tonks and Lupin walked out of the Great Hall and stopped him.

"Don't Ron." Lupin said. "You'll just get yourself into trouble." Ron had his wand out but didn't raise it.

"Get lost Malfoy." Ron said. Malfoy laughed and Pansy giggled. Neither of them moved.

"You heard him." Tonks said. "Otherwise I'll walk away and let him take care of you." Malfoy glared and knew that he couldn't deny a teacher or he would get points taken away. He took Pansy's hand and walked away. Tonks turned to them all.

"What happened in there?" Tonks asked. Hermione was fuming and was too angry to answer so Ginny answered for her.

"Lavender." She answered simply.

"What did she do?" Lupin wondered.

"A lot less than what I'm going to do to her if she doesn't shut her big fat mouth." Hermione said angrily. Ron put a comforting arm around her shoulder. He could feel how tense she was.

"What's going on with all of that?" Tonks asked. "I thought she was the one who gave Ron the love potion."

"She tried." Hermione replied. "And then she goes and apologizes. I never liked her anyway but it was fine if we were talking again but she has to make fun of my hair. I don't give a damn but she won't let it go." Hermione had her hands clenched in fists.

"Hermione, just ignore her. I know it's hard but you have to let it go." Ron said.

"Let it go!" Hermione shouted. "I can't ignore her constantly! You don't even know." Ron looked offended so he took his arm away from Hermione.

"I don't know?" He asked. "She's not just talking about you. Are you even listening? My name is constantly brought into this! So I think I might know about it a little more than you assume!" Hermione looked even angrier and opened her mouth to retort.

"Drop it!" Harry said. "It's both of you so let it go. There is no reason to fight over who she's talking about. Both of you need to just ignore her." Hermione turned with her hands folded across her chest.

"We'll leave you guys now but you really should listen to Harry." Tonks said before walking away with Lupin. Ron was about to turn to Hermione and apologize but Lavender and Seamus walked out of the hall. Hermione glared at her.

"I'm sorry." Lavender said. "But I am so not jealous of you!" She exclaimed. "I ended up with the better guy in the end who doesn't tell me how to wear my hair." She sounded like she was really trying to apologize but failing horribly at it. Hermione scowled deeply and went to go after Lavender because she could not take it anymore, but Ron caught her and held her back.

"I don't give a damn if you are or aren't jealous but let me tell you one thing you stuck up bitch!" Hermione exclaimed. Ron, Harry, Ginny, and Seamus looked at her with shocked faces. "You did not end up with the better man at all! Ron does not tell me how to wear my hair. I could wear it however I want but I would rather shave my head instead of having you try and do it again! Ron cares about me and he loves me! Can you say the same thing? Ron did not stare at me for god sakes but he defended me when Seamus did! And I don't give a damn on how you think my hair looks because the one person that I am trying to impress likes it like that. So the next time you want to make a comment on how I look take a look in the mirror first!" Hermione yelled red-faced. Ron still had a hold of her but was watching her with a smile on his face.

"No you know what? I think you're the jealous one. Yeah you're jealous of what Seamus and I have." Lavender said. Hermione laughed evilly and tried to get out of Ron's arms. He had loosened his grip before so he had to re-grab her. Harry and Ginny were watching in shock.

"Me jealous of you?" Hermione asked. "That's a good one." She laughed.

"You bitch!" Lavender exclaimed. Seamus grabbed her as she went after Hermione.

"Maybe we all should go?" Harry suggested tentatively.

"Shut up!" Lavender and Hermione exclaimed never breaking the glare. Ron wasn't sure what to do but he knew he wasn't going to let Hermione go.

"How am I jealous then?" Hermione asked. "Should I be jealous of your perverted boyfriend or your ugly hair?" Lavender scowled and tried to break free of Seamus's grip.

"Shut up Hermione." Seamus said. Ron decided to get involved now.

"Don't talk to her like that. She didn't start this!" Ron exclaimed. Seamus turned an angry face on Ron.

"Am I bothering you by talking to her?" Seamus asked. "Going to hit me again?" Ron released Hermione and she came to her senses and took his arm before they all got in trouble.

"Shut up Seamus!" Ron exclaimed. "You got what you deserved and you know it."

"Don't talk to him like that." Lavender exclaimed.

"Shut up Lavender! Why don't you go mix a love potion or something? It should be about time for Seamus to take another one before he comes to his senses and realizes who he's dating." Hermione said. Ron, Harry, and Ginny laughed.

"Shut your girlfriend up Ron." Seamus told him.

"No." Ron said with a laugh. "She can say whatever she wants." Ron said.

"Yeah she could say whatever she wants as long as you approve right? You have to tell her how she fixes her hair and what she wears. Should I be jealous of that?" Lavender asked. Hermione forgot her senses and went to go after Lavender. Ron was tempted to let her go but knew that Hermione wasn't thinking clearly and it could jeopardize her Head position so he grabbed her and held her back.

"I never asked how you and Seamus got together last night. Did I?" Hermione asked. "Was it because he was staring at you and you were mad that Ron didn't take your love potion so you ended up with him?" Hermione asked nastily from her restraint.

"Why don't you go shove your nose in a book?" Lavender asked just as nastily.

"Ooo that was a good one!" Hermione said sarcastically. "What's next? I could use a good laugh." She laughed.

"Is the reason you always have a book in front of your face to cover up your hair?" Lavender asked. Before Hermione could respond Tonks and Lupin were coming back to the Great Hall and they noticed Ron and Seamus with restraints on Hermione and Lavender.

"What's going on?" Tonks asked in a concerned voice. Nobody said a word. Harry and Ginny were in shock. Ron was furious but he also never wanted Hermione quite so much at the moment. Hermione, Lavender, and Seamus were too angry to speak. "You two get to your common room." Tonks said to Lavender and Seamus. Seamus let go of Lavender and they walked to the stairs to the Gryffindor common room. When they were gone Ron let go of Hermione although he wanted to grab her and kiss her… and possibly more.

"What happened?" Lupin asked in a stricter voice. Neither of them said anything they just looked awkwardly at each other.

"The four of you come to my office and I want to know exactly what happened." Tonks said. They reluctantly followed Tonks and Lupin to Tonks's office. "Have a seat." Tonks said gesturing to four chairs.

"What was that?" Lupin asked. Again nobody said anything.

"What happened to ignoring it?" Tonks asked. None of them knew what to say.

"Answer!" Lupin said. They looked to each other and silently decided that Ginny would be the elected spokesperson.

"We were going to go up to the Head common room but Lavender and Seamus came out of the Great Hall. She apologized but it wasn't much of an apology so Hermione was mad but Ron restrained her and then they were yelling at each other and then you came." Ginny said.

"Fighting could get you expelled from your positions as Heads." Tonks scolded. Hermione looked down.

"Lavender was the one who started this all. Hermione did nothing wrong. She knows better than to fight." Ron argued for her. "And I was watching out for her."

"We know that Hermione knows better and we know that you were there too but we also know that anger can get the better of you and you won't always be there." Lupin said calmly.

"Of course I'll always be there!" Ron said. "I'm not going to leave her alone around Lavender."

"Stay away from them." Tonks warned. "I don't want to have this conversation again."

"Yes." They all mumbled.

"Good now I suggest you four go to the Head Common room and do some homework or something." Lupin said. They all headed for the door. When they were out of the office Harry put his arm around Ginny.

"We're going to go for a walk and then we'll see you guys later." Harry said as he directed Ginny in another direction.

"Bye!" Hermione called after them. Ron and Hermione didn't say anything as they headed to the Head common room. When they entered Hermione decided to go into a rant about Lavender. "And she thinks that she can just say whatever the hell she wants and she wants and she has no idea..." Hermione ranted. Ron was trying to find places to cut in but Hermione was ranting and didn't seem as if she wanted to stop. Ron finally took her by the shoulders and forcefully pushed his lips on hers. When they pulled apart Hermione took a breath to collect herself. "What was that for?"

"I loved watching you tell Lavender off." Ron said with a smile.

"Well, it was pretty hot when you were going off on Seamus." Hermione replied. Ron smiled down at her and she pushed him up against a wall and kissed him deeply. After a few minutes Ron noticed Hermione was tired. He pulled away and Hermione tried to pull him back but Ron stood firmly backwards.

"You didn't sleep before did you?" Ron asked.

"Well I couldn't exactly fall asleep after what I saw now could I?" Hermione asked.

"Well come on." Ron said. Hermione sighed with disappointment. He pulled her onto a couch and laid down next to her. He took the blanket from the back of the couch and covered them up with it. He noticed that Hermione was already asleep. He kissed her forehead and pulled the covers around them. Ron settled comfortably next to her and fell asleep.
