Just a little help
Chapter 2 – Date night
The next night Ron was making himself ready for his date with Hermione. He was just out from the shower.
He put on a blue shirt that had once belonged to either Percy or Charlie, he wasn't sure. The shirt was a blue colour that matched his eyes, it was a little tight, but Ron knew it showed off his fit arms and chest. He also put on a black pair of pants and black sneakers.
As he tied the laces, the door to his hotel room opened and Harry walked inside.
"Ready for your big date?" Harry asked him with a grin.
"Ready as I'll ever be," Ron answered him, a bit nervous.
"So then dear friend of mine, what's so special about this girl?" Harry sat down on Ron's twin bed and lay down, facing the roof. "You probably won't believe me, but this is The Hermione Granger, she's said to be the cleverest witch of our age." "So what has changed? You've never been really interested in really smart girls. She can't be that smart though, she said yes to a date with you..." A pillow hit Harry in the head.
"Hey! No need to attack me," Harry told him playfully. "Oh, and do I need to remind you, no shagging tonight."
The famous Weasley blush crept up Ron's neck and face.
It was a sore topic. He had almost lost his virginity to the slag, Lavender Brown, but his roommate Seamus had walked in on them before they had gotten rid of any clothes and he had been furious. No wonder, since Lavender had slept with him only a week before, and Seamus had thought it was something more between them.
After that, Ron had stayed away from most girls. Only dating a couple girls since they finished at Hogwarts.
"Mate, I don't think Hermione's one to jump into bed after first date. She just seem like the type with more class then that."
Ron took a look at his watch. "I've got to go now, but I'll see you tomorrow at breakfast."
Ron took off and aparated to the B&B Hermione was staying at.

She, Hermione Granger had done something she had never thought she would do.
She had problems with what to wear. Usually she would know exactly what to wear, but not this time.
So she had thrown out all the clothes she had brought with her out from the dresser. It was spread over her bed and some even on the floor.
Hermione took a look at her watch, figuring she didn't have too much time before Ron came to pick her up.
In the end she settled with a grey skirt, not so unlike what she knew was the Hogwarts uniform skirt, a white shirt and a black vest. She looked nice and it showed of her female forms and long legs in a decent way. She somehow managed to look gorgeus with her hair flowing down her back with some makeup, but yet look pretty casual.
To finish she put on a pair of circle shaped earrings and a necklace in the same style her parents had gotten her a couple of years ago for Christmas.
As she put on her knee-high black boots, which didn't have any heels on, there was a knock on her door. She grabbed her purse and wand from the nightstand before she opened the door and looked into a pair of sapphire blue eyes.

"Here, let me." Ron pulled out the chair for Hermione.
They had found a small restaurant that was cosy and didn't look like it would make Ron's wallet burn either. It was a French restaurant, its specialities were snails. When Ron had hear that, he began to re-think this. However, Hermione's friend had recommended the place, saying they had great food and it was a good place to not be interrupted by anyone. In Ron's mind 'anyone' was the rest of his siblings. But luckily, this place was good hidden in a side street, not really noticeable from the main street where most of the other stores and restaurants were.
Ron sat down opposite her. They had decided to walk there, since the B&B Hermione stayed at was close to the centre of the town. While they walked they had talked about their jobs, or rather Hermione's job and Ron's plan about going into auror training if he didn't get any offers about quidditch soon.
"So, what have you been up to today?" Ron tried to start a conversation again, not really comfortable with silence. Having grown up in a large family, only Percy being quiet, he was more comfortable with noise then with silence, it was just something about it that made him nervous. It made him feel like he was all alone, even though he knew he wasn't.
"I read through Hogwarts: A History. Even though I've never even been to Hogwarts, it's always been a favourite of mine." "Oh, yes... That book about Hogwarts... Never read it myself though."
"Oh... Well... I guess not everyone likes to read, even if it's a really good book..."
Ron shifted nervously in his seat. 'Good thing to tell a bookworm you don't like to read during first date... Well, I had a good time while it lasted at least...'
A/N: I thought I'd give you a new chapter to this story now, seen as I'm busy this weekend. Now a days, I use any time I get to write, seen as I'm busy most of the times. But writing is like relaxing for me, it's my hobby and I enjoy doing it. And I hope you enjoy this chapter! Review!
