A/N: Thanks to all the wonderful reviews I have gotten so far :)

Hermione looked in the mirror at her outfit, she was ready for this. She had been practicing this morning and she was ready. Hermione took a deep sigh and headed downstairs. Ron was already down there, sitting with Parvati, flirting with her. Hermione ignored him and walked over to Harry, "Hey Harry"

Harry's eyes went wide as he looked Hermione over, "Wow Hermione! You look great!"

Hermione smiled, "Thanks, but why are you surprised? I know Ginny told you what I was doing"

"Yeah I know, but I didn't think you were going to actually go through with it, but it seems to be working, Ron coming over here--"

"Hey Hermione" said Ron.

Hermione smiled at him, "Hey Ron, you look good today"

Ron took a step closer and put his arm around Hermione's shoulders, "You don't look so bad either. You want to go to breakfast together?"

Hermione shoved Ron off of her, "No thanks, I'm not that hungry. I think I'll stay here, you go with Parvati"

Ron put his arm back around her shoulders, "I'll ditch Parvati and go with you"

Hermione shoved Ron off of her again, more forcefully this time, "I said no thanks"

Ron looked hurt, "But I thought we were best friends"

"Best friends talk to each other every day," Hermione snapped.

"Oh Hermione, I'm sorry about that, I was just busy is all" Ron explained.

"Yes Ron, you were just too busy flirting with all the girls in the school!"

Ron smirked as he grabbed Hermione's hand, "Does that make you jealous?"

Hermione pulled her hand away quickly, "Yeah, for our friendship, not because I have feelings for you. It's because of you that our friendship is dying, Ron!"

"Our friendship is not dying, Hermione. It just took a break, but now it can resume" Ron said.

"Maybe I don't want it to resume" Hermione snapped as she walked out of the common room. She didn't know where she was going to go, but anywhere besides the common room seemed perfect. Hermione walked on until she reached an empty classroom. How could he say those things? Did he only like her for her looks? Why did she say she didn't have feelings for him? Hermione sighed; so far this plan wasn't working very well.

"Hermione?" asked a deep voice.

Hermione whipped around to see Seamus Finnigan looking at her with sympathy. Hermione smiled gently at him while he walked closer and took a seat next to her on a large desk. "Ron's a jerk. We all knew that he fancied you, he would say your name when he slept, it was a bit weird actually. Then this year he was all over girls like syrup on pancakes, but he still fancies you. I think he was just messing around with those girls to make you jealous"

Hermione laughed, "Syrup on pancakes?"

Seamus laughed with her, "Yeah, but listen Hermione, don't let him get to you. He really is a nice guy, just a nice guy who's taking bad steps to get the girl he wants"

Hermione smiled and leaned her head against Seamus's shoulder. "You really know how to make a girl feel better"

Seamus chucking, "That's what guys are for, right?"

Hermione smiled and lifted her head to come face to face with Seamus. His smile still held that playful laugh at his lips. Hermione gently kissed Seamus, who seemed surprised, but kissed back nevertheless.

"What the hell is going on?"

Hermione and Seamus apart quickly, Seamus lost his footing and fell off the desk with a big, oaf! Hermione looked up at the person that was the cause of this, she groaned, it was Ron. Ron's face was red as he walked up to the pair, his eyes glued to Hermione. "I came here to apologize to you, and this is what I find? You making out with some idiot?"

Hermione rolled her eyes and jumped off the desk and stood next to Seamus. "Sorry to brake the news to you Ron, but you don't own me. I can make out with however I wish, it's not like we're dating or anything"

"That's still not acceptable, girls just don't go around and start making out with a guy! Especially you Hermione! I expected more from you!" Ron yelled.

"They do with you Ron" Hermione snapped.

"I'm different, the girls can't resist me" Ron smirked.

"You're so vain!" Hermione yelled, "You think every girl in this whole school likes you, but you're wrong Ronald Weasly! Because I don't like you!"

Ron's smirk dropped as Hermione's words hit him. Hermione was still angry with Ron, but nevertheless shoved past Ron, roughly knocking into him on the way. Twice in one day that boy insulted her, she was sick of it. Hermione heard footsteps behind her, turning she saw Seamus, he seemed relieved. "Thank Merlin, I thought he was going to beat me up or something"

Hermione looked at the closed door as they walked on, "I'm surprised he hasn't come running out here yet"

Seamus shrugged, "I think it was because you said you didn't like him, he liked pretty hurt"

Hermione put her head down, she hadn't attended to hurt Ron like that, and it just came out so fast that she could stop it.

Seamus nudged her, "Want to finish what we started?"

Hermione half-smiled, if she was going to seduce these guys, she was going to have to say yes. Hermione nodded and let her be dragged away towards an empty classroom.

A/N: First of all, I would like to apologize for the shortness of this chapter. Second of all, they do not have sex; the next chapter will explain everything that will happen.
