Hermione and Ron walked to each of their classes, with Harry, pretending like nothing happened. They bumped into each other, a couple of times, resulting in pink faces and embarrassement. Throughout the whole day, they didn't talk to each other. Nothing was said except for "Oh, sorry" and "My bad" when they bumped into each other. It was a good system for them.
It was already dinnertime, Hermione thought the day went by so fast. "Yes! No more Ron! All I have to do is read, and sleep!" She thought.
Ron, too, was very happy it was the end of the day. He needed the rest for tomorrow's quidditch game against those bloody Slytherins. "They're gonna get crushed!" He said to Harry, with a mouthful of pork chops.
Ron was sitting across from Hermione, glancing at her every five seconds, to see her, just for that reason. Her eyes were painted a light brown, in a dreamy kind of state. She looked beautiful. He could tell something was constantly on her mind, because she had the same look ever since their first class. Curiosity took over him. Was she thinking about Krum?
"Krum..." Ron thought with a mean look on his face.
Or maybe it was... someone else, like, him? Possibly?
But maybe not him, exactly, but the person who kissed her during the eclipse. He remembered the softness of her lips, and the passion that was behind all of it. If he could relive any moment at all, it would be that day. Because he thought he would never feel that feeling, ever again.
"Hey, Hermione." Neville said, casually, as he walked out of the Great Hall.
"Oh, gosh! I remember...It's Neville!" Hermione thought. "Hi..." She said staring at him weirdly. "He's a good kisser." She thought, disgusted suddenly after that she actually thought that. She forgot, she had to tell the girls that night.
"Where's Harry?" Ron asked. He was eating so much that he didn't even notice that Harry wasn't there eating with him.
"I dunno, I thought he was with you and your girlfriend when you guys came." Seamus said looking at Hemrione.
"Dude, she's not my girlfriend." Ron said, with a sad look on his face.
Where could Harry be?
Hermione looked over at the professors' table. She noticed Hagrid and Dumbledore weren't there at their usual seats.

"Okay. First of all, sorry, Headmaster for bringing you here at dinnertime." Harry said.
"No need to be sorry, now, do you want beef, or ham?" Dumbledore said, taking out his wand.
"Ham!" Hagrid said eagerly.
With a flick of Dumbledore's wand, 3 plates and a big piece of ham on each appeared in front of them.
"Now, back to business." Dumbledore said.
"Now, as you see, Headmaster, Hermione and Ron have liked each other since first year." Harry began.
"Of course, everyone knows that." Dumbledore said,"go on."
"And we were wondering if you'd like to help me and Hagrid get them together." Harry finished.
"Well, what have you tried so far?" Dumbledore said curiously.
"Well, sir, we put them in detention together in the hopes of them getting together in the Forbidden Forest, and we all know how that went out." Hagrid said with a smile on his face.
"But they still aren't together."
"So, we were wondering, if you could, help us out a little." Harry asked, with a puppy dog look on his face.
"Hmmm, love is a very serious thing, are you sure they love each other? With all their heart and soul?" Dumbledore asked.
"Definetly." Harry and Hagrid said in unison.
"Well then, what's your plan?" Dumbledore asked.
"Okay, we were thinking..." Harry told Dumbledore the idea as they ate their ham. Hagrid took 3 cups from a cupboard and poured pumpkin juice in each.
"I would like to make a toast. To Ronald Weasley and Hermione Granger, to their broken fates, and their soon to be fixed ones." Dumbledore said.
All of them pushed their glasses together, then drank the pumpkin juice.

Everyone was still eating dinner, taking their desserts for the last ten minutes before they had to go up to their dormitories.
Hermione reached for the last chocolate chip cookie on the silver platter, and at the same time, so did Ron. Their hands touched, and sparks flew all around them. They suddenly jerked their hands away as soon as possible.
Ginny was looking at them, with a look of realization in her eyes.
"You could take it." Hermione said to Ron.
"Oh, no, you could have it, I'm full, anyways." Ron said with a convincing stomach to show it.
"Okay, we'll split it." Hermione said. She took one end, and he took the other. The cookie split right in the middle.
They both had smiles on their faces as they chewed their halves.
Ginny knew now, all that Harry was rambling on about Ron and Hermione was true...
Not looking suspicious at all, Dumbledore walked into the Great Hall and walked up to Hermione and Ron.
"Mr. Weasley, Ms. Granger, I hope you remembered you have prefect duties tonight." Dumbledore said in that humble Dumbledore way.
"WHAT!" They both yelled.
"Excuse me? " Dumbledore said, " is this a problem?"
"No, no. Of course not!" Hermione said.
"Yeah, everything's fine, Headmaster." Ron said.
"Good, I knew I could count on you two. The shift starts at 10 it ends at 12." Dumbledore said.
"Okay." They both said.
Dumbledore walked out of the Great Hall with a smile on his face. He gave a thumbs up to Harry and Hagrid, who were anticipating the answer.
"Great! 2 full hours with Ron!" Hermione thought, sarcastically.
"Oh, no!" Ron thought. One part of him was happy, he got to spend time with Hemrione, but another part of him wondered what the heck he was going to say.

Well, this chapter wasn't going as I planned. While, I was writing this chapter, it only popped int my head that I should add Dumbledore to Harry and Hagrid's plans. I hope I made the right decision in this change of plans. Stay tuned for the next chapter, the prefect duty! R and R please please please.
