Harry gazed through the window. The fog was creeping through the window while his slow breaths steamed them up.
Just then Hermione and Ron came in through the portrait hole.
"Hey Harry" they said in unison.
"Hey Ron and Hermione" Harry said enthusiastically. Harry looked at Hermione. "Wow she looked really hot." He thought. Harry was someday going to tell her he liked her and ask her out. But he couldn't seem to muster enough courage.
Hermione smiled and sat down and began to read a book. Ron sat next to Harry on the couch. Harry stared at Ron, who happened to be gazing at Hermione.
"Hey Ron….so finish all your homework mate?" Harry asked, feeling a twinge of jealousy. He didn't like Ron staring at is future girlfriend.
"Ermmmm…what Harry? Oh yea I suppose." Ron said, not even playing attention to what he was saying. He still gazed intently at Hermione.
'Right.." said Harry. He couldn't help but feel jealous at Ron. He, Harry, had to ask Hermione before Ron.
Ron, on the other hand, liked Hermione as much as Harry did. Unfortunately, Ron and Harry both liked Hermione and they both didn't know the other one liked her.
"Gods she's so hot." Ron thought through his head. Unknown to Hermione, she didn't know either of them liked her. Poor girl.
"Well I am going to go to bed. Night guys" Hermione said. With that, she went off to her dormitory.
"Night Hermione" the boys said in unison.
Harry and Ron both looked at each other. Though they smiled, the very same thought ran through their heads. "I've got to ask Hermione out before he does"
With that the boys went to bed.
The next day, the trio woke up and went on with their day as usual. When they returned from dinner that evening, they found everyone crowded around the notice board.
As they went to investigate, they found to their surprise that Hogwarts was having a ball. It was only to the 5th years and up. They read through the notice and it said you could only arrive with a partner.
Harry, Ron, and Hermione was thrilled at this ball. Harry thought this was his chance to ask out Hermione and have a steady relationship with her. Unfortunately for him, his best mate Ron was thinking exactly the same thing.
Hermione, however, didn't really notice the two boys were ogling at her. She had a person in mind. She smiled to herself and went up to bed.
Harry and Ron decided to stay a bit and talk before they too went to bed.
"So you are you going to take Harry?" Ron asked nervously. He hoped it was anyone except Hermione.
"You tell me first." Harry replied. Harry seemed to notice Ron seemed a bit nervous.
"I'm not sure yet, but I do have a person in mind." Ron said, still a bit nervously.
"Yea same here mate." Harry decided that if Ron wasn't going to spill, neither was he.
The ball was in one more day. Harry and Ron both went to bed, thinking they were going to ask out Hermione the very next day. Unknown to them, another dear little boy was thinking on the very same exact lines.
