Chapter 5: Couples & Promises

I rushed out of the common room, hardly noticing that Malfoy had already left. I wouldn't care anyway. Dashing down the corridor I didn't even stop to tell off a couple of 2nd years for practicing duelling in a empty classroom, with a wide open door. You would think people were actually look for trouble. How did I wake up so late??? I screamed at myself, I had 15 minutes to eat breakfast and get to DADA! Sprinting I reached the great hall and nearly knocked over Hufflepuff Head Boy candidate Ernie Mcmillan who opened his mouth to speak, but I was gone before he could form the words I expect. Sitting down next to Ginny who was in a deep conversation with Harry, turned her attention to me.

"Hey Ginny, Harry." I smiled at them, quite obviously ignoring Ron.

"Hey 'Mione," But it wasn't Harry OR Ginny, my attention snapped towards Ron who was sitting opposite us. I flashed him a evil smile and said sideways to Ginny, "Sweet heart don't wait up for me tonight ok? I know I told you we would have a girly night in my common room, but I have plans." She raised an eyebrow at me but my smile still focused on Ron. "With Viktor." The effect, if I can say was beautiful. Ron's face dropped instantly and he scowled deeply into his scones. Thoroughly put out. Ginny gave me an inquiring look but nodded slowly. I Gave her a peck on the cheek and said in a calm, cool fashion. "Thanks Gin, have a good day." Before grabbing a piece of toast and dashing out of the great hall.

Golf clap to Hermione Granger ladies and gentlemen. She has just put that fabulous mind to great use, and Ronald I doubt will be bothering us soon.

I grinned at my handiwork and made my way, much more happily than my sprint from my common room. To DADA, taking a seat next to Lavender Brown and Parvati Patil, who seemed shocked by me sitting anywhere but with Harry and Ron. Were pleasant enough and made room for me to put my books. So we began a conversation, and I had a feeling I was going to do just fine without RONALD WEASLEY.

When Harry and Ron came into the Room, about 5 minutes after my entrance. They glanced around and saw me sitting without them. Chatting and laughing just like every girl should. Harry being wonderful (I feel bad to have to cut him out, but its because of Ron not him.) sat down in a seat. But Ronald seemed to think I wasn't a normal girl. And shouldn't be laughing or talking with anyone who apparently wasn't him or Harry. He stood right in front of me and stared down in anger and confusion. I looked up and smiled pleasantly, "Ronald?" His stony glare glazed over for a second as he stared at me then snapped back to a unusually cold look that chilled me too the bone.

"Look. Hermione, I know you're angry at me for what I said to you yesterday. But don't you think your overreacting a little bit? You know I'm not the one who ran over leaving her friends to Krum!" at this Lavender and Parvati burst out in a fit of giggles, blushing a little I stood up and gave Ron a glare of my own. "Oh Ronald, just shut up about Viktor okay? If you have a problem with him like you did in our 4th year, keep. It. To. Yourself!" I snapped and sat down, not blatantly ignoring the frustrated read head who moved down the class room to sit angrily next to Harry.

Back at my own table Parvati and Lavender were now interrogating me about Viktor, sighing I began to answer each of there questions slowly and carefully.

"So that's why he is staying in Hogsmead? To see you?"

"I suppose, that's what he told me."

"So are you together? I mean have you been all this time?"

"No, we've been friends. Now… well I don't know what we are."

"Is he a good kisser?" At this I blushed and realized they must have overheard mine and Ron's argument yesterday. "Yes," I said softly looking at my feet. "He is."

They squealed excitedly and the interrogation continued.

Hours later lunch FINALLY came, I sat down exhausted in front of Harry and Ginny. Who had been rather close since yesterday. "So Gin, since you dumped Finnigan what are you going to do about your dress for the dance?" She looked at almost surprised as though she hadn't realised I had turned up. "Oh," She glanced at Harry and smiled slightly. "I might have a solution for that."

"Oh?" I said now smirking having finally caught on. (how I didn't see it?? It's so OBVIOUS) "What would that be?"

"Just, a solution."

"Ginerva Weasley! Do you not think I'm smart enough to have caught on??" I nearly shouted, lowering my voice I whispered. "Why are you too not well OFICIALLY DATING OUT IN THE OPEN?" They both seemed shocked at my out burst but Harry started Grinning and mumbled out something that sounded like Grom.

"Ron!?" I laughed, "Don't tell me you're afraid of him?"

"No! Its just I don't really like the idea of having 6 Weasleys trying to do me in!" I turned to Ginny and said in mock confusion, "Why are you dating this wimp?"

She laughed but stopped suddenly as Ron sat down next to me,

"Who are you dating Ginny?" She turned bright red and shook her head. "I thought after Finnigan you were going to choose carefully!" I stared my mouth half open. "She's not four Ronald! She can make her own decisions and I think this guy is her BEST choice yet!" I stood up smiling at Harry and turned but only to bump into a strong, but familiar chest. "Hermioninny?" I smiled recognising who it was, "Viktor what are you doing here?" People all around the hall were noticing him and whispers were soon filling the once loud chattering hall, which now was oddly silent as if they were all listening. "That blonde boy, who stays in ze room with you. Said you hav' no classes now. Would you like to walk with me?" I nodded and wondered why on earth Malfoy had been helpful! Probably because Viktor threatened him the night he interrupted us.

Ten minutes later me and Viktor were walking leisurely around the lake talking and laughing just as old friends would. But one thing kept nagging me, Parvati's question about me and Viktor being together. I mean where we? "Viktor," I said plucking up the courage to ask him. "Um are we… are we together now? Again?" He looked down at me almost nervously, "Do you vant to be?" I blushed and nodded then said, "But I don't know how long you're going to be here!" He smiled and said something which made my day one of the best I've had in a long time.

"I'll vill be here as long as you vant me to be." I couldn't contain myself I laughed joyously and threw my arms around him. Whispering in his ear I said, "Promise?"

In answer he turned his head and pressed his lips to mine so tenderly I could have melted right there. Sighing happily I smiled into the kiss feeling all my worries drift away. Except one. One very angry and frustrated red head. Ron.
