Chapter Seven

Ginny gasped, then started laughing, Hermione looked at Ginny and shrugged.

"Ginny stop laughing!" Hermione said.

"Sorry Hermione! It's just too funny! He's liked you for a year or two!" Ginny said.

"No he hasn't!" Hermione said.

"Why do you think he asked you out?" Ginny said.

"I'm just thinking maybe because I'm smart and wanted my test answers!" Hermione said.

"Okay Hermione, I'm sorry I'm only laughing because everyone just thought you liked Ron!" Ginny said.

"Ron?" Hermione said a slight smile on her face.

"Yeah! You guys just act weird around each other." Ginny said.

"What you mean weird is yelling at each other and calling each other mental, that's acting weird around each other? Then yes, we act very weird around each other!" Hermione said.

"I'm sorry I just didn't expect the name Seamus come out of your mouth when you tell me who you like!" Ginny said.

"Yeah fine, but you will all have to get over it, because I like Seamus, not Ron."

A couple of the girls in the room looked over, surprised looks on their faces.

"What?" Pervati asked, "You don't like Ron? Wow, you learn something strange every day."

"Shut up! I do not like Ron! And that is not strange!" Hermione said.

In the boys dorms a very similar mood was stirring anger was in Ron, joy was in Seamus and amusement was in Harry.

"Why did you ask her out?" Ron said angrily.

"Who?" Seamus said.

"Hermione!"

"Why do you care Weasley?" Seamus asked standing up.

"Because, you don't stand a chance with her." Ron said.

"What?" Seamus said back to him.

"Every one can tell she likes him and he likes her." Harry said plainly.

"Don't interfere Potter." Seamus said.

"Yeah Harry, I have to deal with him." Ron said as there was a knock on the door, Harry ran over to open it, Hermione walked in.

"Hermione!" Ron said going to the door taking her hand and setting her down on a bed.

"Sorry Hermione but soon enough they'll be tearing your arms out." Harry said.

"Hermione we need to talk to you!" Seamus said.

"Me first." Hermione said.

"Okay." Ron said.

"Okay." Seamus said.

O-Okay!" Harry said.

"Seamus, I want you to ask me to hogsmeade again." Hermione said.

"Okay…Hermione would you like to accompany me to hogsmeade Saturday?" Seamus said.

"Yes, yes very much so." Hermione said smiling.

"Hermione?" Seamus said taking this opportunity to ask a question to make the relationship go further.

"Yes Seamus?"

"Would you like to be my girlfriend?" Seamus, asked, she sighed.

"Yes, very much so." Hermione said. Ron had a flushed look on his face, Harry's eyes were wide open.

"Well, Hermione you better go." Harry said.

"Okay, bye." Hermione said.

"Bye." Seamus said. She left.

"SEAMUS!" Harry yelled.

"What?" Seamus said, Ron fell back on to a bed.

"Leave!" Harry said.

"It's my dorm too." Seamus said.

"Fine, we're leaving then!" Harry said as he grabbed Ron and forced him out the door.

"She's got a boy friend." Ron said.

"Yeah, a dirty scum ball boyfriend, but a boyfriend non-the less." Harry said.

"Where did I go wrong? Was it the lost years I spent pretending to like other girls? Was it the fact that I was scared? Probably both." Ron said.

"Ron, are you alright?" Harry asked.

"No! Seamus just took a gun and stabbed me in the back right in front of my eyes!" Ron said, contemplating what he just said.

"C'mon lets just enjoy the rest of this putrid, depressing, horrible year." Harry said.

"Alright." Ron said.

"I was kidding." Harry said.

"Oh."
