"Okay, kids, follow me, we will see the Hipogriffs!" was all Hermione heard in her twisted head the next morning. She was still 3 quarters asleep and was thinking how ready she was to leave the out doors and eat real food for breakfast with her friends.
She felt warm, and very, very comfortable...but why? There was nothing different about how she slept, except for her soft bed and the hard ground. She felt like she never wanted to leave her position.
"Okay, little first years stay he-" Hagrid gasped.
"Wow! Hipogriffs look exzactly like humans!" One first year said.
"Aww, these Hipogriffs are in love!" Said another.
"Can we pet them, Professor Hagrid?" Pleaded a little girl anxiously.
"Alright everyone, class dismissed, I went a bit over your time. Follow me out of the forest." Hagrid said with a red face. It was a mixture of happiness, and embarrassment.
"But professor, it has only been 10 minutes since class started." The little first
"I said follow me!" Said Hagrid. He took one last look at the couple, smiled, and lead the first years out of the forest.
"I guess Harry was right, I owe him 10 galleons!"
00000000000000000000
Herimone gasped.
"Ron! Wake up!"
Ron was startled from the best dream he's ever had.
He and Hermione were flying on his broom, the sun was setting, and they were floating over the Black Lake, which seemed crystal clear from their point of view.
"Hermione, I have to tell you something..."
"Ron tell me what is it?"
"I don't know if I should."
"Ron, we've been friends for six years, you can trust me with anything."
"But...this...might change things..."
"What, you have an extra toe or something?" Hermione giggled.
"Hermione, I love you..."
Hermione was still laughing.
"Haha, Ron, stop kidding around." Hermione said still not believing it was real.
"I'm not."
"Do you mean it?" She asked with a more serious face than ever.
Ron knew she was scared, by the look in her eyes, he thought she probably didn't want to see him ever again.
"I'm sorry, I never should have put pressure on you." Ron said with sadness in his tone.
"Kiss me." Hermione said simply with a gleam in her eye that didn't go away. This mean't she wanted the truth. The whole truth. And nothing but the truth.
No one knows how much Ron wanted this. Not even his own mother. Or his siblings. Or his best friend.
Their faces were centimetres apart. "Here goes nothing." Ron said.
"Aww...not now!" Ron moaned. He noticed a feeling. Like his arms were detatched to his body. When he fully opened his eyes, his arms were around Hermione's body.
"Ahhh!" Ron said backing away with the same look in his eyes as when Hermione woke up and noticed their position. Their soft, loving, position.
"What happened?" Ron said.
"I don't know! We were sleeping in our own beds and, Hagrid saw us."
"What?" Ron said with more surprise in his voice.
"Well, I heard him and first years talking about Hipogriffs. One said they look like humans, and the other asked Hagrid if they could pet us and another said- nevermind."
"No, tell me." Ron said with a smile on his face.
"No, just forget it." Hermione said.
"Please?" Ron said with a puppy-dog face that made Hermione smile and laugh inside.
"One first year said they look like they're in love."
"Are you serious? Me and you?" Ron said not trying to make things as obvious as they already were. "Bless that first year!" Ron thought.
"Yeah...I noe!" Hermione said. "See...we were never mean't to be." She thought. A part of her was happy, but them another, sad.
"Well, we shouldn't be far from the castle knowing that Hagrid took kids here." Ron said logically.
"And it's probably lunch time now that the sun is almost directly overhead." Hermione added.
"Well then, I suppose we should, head back them."
"Yeah, okay." Hermione said.
There was an akward period of silence when they were walking.
"Sooo...I won't tell anyone if you don't." Hermione said. She didn't want the girls to know that she 'slept' with a guy when they're trying to find her secret admirer.
"Deal..." Ron said. They shook hands with a smile.
When they got to the castle, everyone was in the Great Hall, so it wasn't that hard to get to the Gryffindor Tower without being seen by anyone.
They went to their own dorm rooms with smiles. Ron actually took it nicely. He was jumping up and down for like 10 minutes that he almost walked out of the dorm shirtless.
When they both came out wearing a new set of clothes, they walked to lunch together.
When they opened the huge doors, everything became silent. All eyes turned to Ron and Hermione. Harry, especially, found this amusing.
"Wow, news spreads very fast in this academy." Ron thought turning redder than his hair.
"Those darn first years!" Hermione thought, looking exzactly like Ron.
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
