"Well dears it's getting late you should head up to bed." Mrs. Weasley called down the table to the three friends immersed in conversation.
After helping Mrs. Weasley clean up Hermione and Ron walked up the stairs together. They were silent the whole time and kept accidentally bumping into each other.
"Sorry Hermione" Ron said looking uncomfortable. "Hey listen I'll see you tomorrow. 'Night"
Hermione opened the door to her and Ginny's room and saw Ginny on the bed writing in her diary. Hermione walked in and flopped face first on the bed beside Ginny.
"What's wrong Hermione"
"Your brother." Hermione replied "Did he do something?" Ginny asked as Hermione sat up.
"No. It's just that some days I think he likes me but then some days he acts the total opposite. And Harry
said he has a crush on me but I don't know"
"It's pretty obvious that he likes you. But Hermione you're not making it easier on him either. I see how you always act embarrassed when you're around him. If you stopped
blushing and looking away every time he's near you then maybe he'd get the hint." Ginny told Hermione.
"So what do you want me to flirt with him non-stop"
"No that would be annoying. Just show him that you're interested and maybe he will ask you out"
By this time Ron had made it up to his room and was talking to Harry about Hermione.
"I want to ask her out but I'm sure that after that whole thing with Lavender she wouldn't want to go out with me. She was rather pissed off"
"Why do you think she was so mad Ron? Because she was jealous. She probably wanted to be in Lavender's position but knew she couldn't. Honestly mate just ask her out
already"
At breakfast the next morning Ron was thinking about what Harry had said. Was Hermione really jealous because she liked him? Would she want to go out with him? He decided
that the only way to find out was to ask her out. He remembered how they were planning to all go to Diagon Alley tomorrow. Maybe they could stay behind while everyone else
left. After he finished his breakfast he went to find Hermione and ask her.
She was sitting at her desk finishing her D.A.DA homework and she looked up when she saw him walk in.
"Oh hey Ron. I'm just trying to get the last of the homework done"
"Can I ask you a question? Unless your to busy otherwise I can ask you later." Ron said. Hermione noticed how his face was turning red and he looked to be sweating.
"No go ahead"
"Well… I was just wondering if you would ah… well I don't know. Um…would you want to go out with me some time… maybe?" Ron managed to say.
