Chapter 3- Saving Me

"Are you taking potions?" Ron asked Hermione, basically just trying to find something to talk about, he knew very well Hermione would take any class she could get her hands on.
"Well, Yes of course" She laughed. "I showed you my timetable"
"Ron" Ginny said pulling him away. "I know your trying, but thats not saying much"
"Well" Ron scowled. "Just because you've had loads of boyfriends, doesn't make you the expert. Ginevra" "Ronald, don't call me that" She said hitting him. "and plus, you had Lavender last year anyway, but normal relationships are not all about snogging. Now get to class" She said sternly.
"Uhh, Lavender" Ron mumbled catching up to Harry as they made there way to Transfiguration.
"Have you seen her?" Hermione asked.
"No...thank god"
"She's a bloody mess, she's probably avoiding you if you ask me" Hermione kept on. "Kind of sad really"
"She cast a spell on me" Ron whispered as they sat down in the classroom. The professor wasn't there yet, they were the only 3 in the classroom, Hermiones doing, she'd never be late to a class.
"I know, but still Ron. She's depressed" "Whatever...She'll find someone" "Talking about someone, Harry how's your love life?" Hermione said changing the subject.
"Uh, Non existant. Cho is a bitch, and her friend Marietta don't get me started on her" He grumbled. Ron laughed.
"Well her face isn't that pretty either" "Ron!" Hermione said stiffling laughter.
"Morning" Professor Mcgonagall said stiffly as she entered the classroom.
"Morning" They all replied as cheerily as possible.
"What are we learning this year professor?" Hermione asked enthusiastically.
"Ah, Well I guess you'll see" She replied. Hermione didn't look pleased.
Just then Seamus Finnagan crashed through the doors followed by the rest of the class.
"I guess that means no more questions" Harry whispered to a snorting Ron.

"That was amazing" Hermione said as they walked down the corridor.
"No, you know what sounds amazing...Lunch" Ron said hurrying towards the great hall.
"Ron, you won't be the last one there, the food will be there regardless of how fast you get there" Hermione yelled but Ron dissapeared as the halls turned.
"Can I ask you something?" Harry asked. Hermione nodded still a bit distracted with Transfiguration.
"Sure, go on"
"What's going on with you and Ron?" He asked, Hermione quickly snapped out of her daydream and immediately began to blush.
"What...Ha..Nothing. " She laughed passively. "But, Ron was right, I'm really hungry...theres Luna and Neville, I needed to talk to them" She said hurriedly catching up with them.
"I know what you mean"
"What...Oh Ginny. Hey" Harry said. "She likes him, he likes her...You think as smart as she is, she'd realise it. I understand with Ron, but seriously now"
"He told you he liked her right?" "Well yes, a bit, but if you tell Hermione that you will have 2 problems" She said.
"What"
"One, She wont believe you, or she might, but she won't want too probably at first, and 2 Ron would be mad" "So then what?" Harry asked.
"I guess we'll have to wait and see, but for now. Lets eat, I'm hungry" She laughed opening the doors to the great hall.

The hall was filled with noises of laughter, and talking. Harry and Ginny squished in between Luna and Seamus, who were across from Hermione who was sitting next to Dean Thomas who was sitting next to Ron, for obvious reasons.
"So, Why are we so talkative?" Ginny asked sarcastically, because there was no talking at all.
"So, anyone excited for Quiddich?" Seamus asked.
"Why? You don't play?" Neville asked. "Yeah, well I thought maybe I'd try out for this year" "Good, Good. I could always use some new faces on the team" Harry said happily for the break of silence. "Are you going in it Ginny?" Dean asked.
"Yes, I am.." She replied curtly. Her and Deans relationship was quickly falling apart.
"Good"
"Way to ruin the talking" Ron sighed
