A/N: Hey, guys! Just like I promised…! Chapter Two! (I realise my chapters are short, and I apologize.. But there may be more chapters overall like this! :) )

Chapter Two:

Ron:

Ron had loved Hermione ever since he had looked into those warm eyes of hers, in second year. She had no choice, of course, she was Petrified at the time! But when he realized exactly how gorgeous she was, he had to keep it a secret: what if she found out? Would it ruin their everlasting friendship - their strong connection?

What if Harry found out? Would he feel slightly shut out?

But Ron had bonded with Hermione, even after first year, when he had teased her about how clever she was.

They were in their sixth year now, the three of them inseparable, except for maybe lessons! They had been through everything together, with Harry and his adventures. They had their ups and downs, but they had always come out on top together.

By now, Ron had dressed, and ran to the Common Room, skipping steps on the stairs. Harry was there, talking to the girl of his dreams.

"Alright mate? Did Lavender wake you up?" Harry said, while stifling a chuckle.

Ron was paying no attention to Harry - he was staring at Hermione, who was grinning at him, the familiar brown eyes seemed distant, but her teeth a glistening white.

Harry broke this pleasant encounter, by waving a hand in front of Ron's face.

"Are you there?" Harry said, his striking emerald green eyes squinting into Ron's.

Hermione:

Hermione got up, and while she was getting dressed, she heard a tap, tap, tap on the window. It was a black owl, that she had recognised as Draco's.

She pushed the window open, and the bird flew in, chirping excitedly. When Hermione could keep this bird still, she untied the letter, gave the bird a treat, and let it back out again.

She stared at the letter, but didn't open it even though it was addressed to her. She just put it in the inside pocket of her robes and made her way downstairs - hoping it would be empty so then she could open it in private.

But when she got to the Common Room, she found that it wasn't empty, but Harry was there, staring into the fire.

"Good morning Harry." She said. She could open her letter later.

"Morning, Mione." He replied, looking at her instead of at the fire, which he was looking at before Hermione entered the room. Hermione took the arm chair next to him and they started to talk.

"Where's Ron?" Hermione asked, the first thing that had slipped out of her mouth.

"Asleep…" Harry said slowly, while looking at the stairs to the boys' dorm. Lavender appeared from it a few moments later, looking a little upset.

"But probably not anymore!" He continued, as Lavender exited through the portrait hole. Hermione laughed gently, itching for Ron to hurry up so then the two boys could go to breakfast. Then she could open the letter.

After talking for about ten minutes, Hermione looked at the stairs to the boys' dorms and saw Ron. She grinned, while thinking 'At last!'

"Alright mate? Did Lavender wake you up?" Harry said, while stifling a chuckle.

He was doing it again though, Ron was staring blankly at her, like he was mesmerised by her presence. This had happened a lot, when they were together - he would stare at Hermione, like there was nothing else left to do.

"Are you there?" Harry said, waving a hand over Ron's blank face.

Ron had started to act like this after their second year together, after Hermione had returned from the hospital wing - where she had laid, Petrified, because of a great big basilisk that hung round in the Chamber Of Secrets. Harry destroyed the basilisk using Godric Griffindor's sword.

Eventually, Ron was back in Earth.

"Mmm? You said something?" Ron asked, blinking.

"Are you going to come down to breakfast, or just stand there, and stare into random spaces?" Harry asked, getting slightly impatient.

"Yeah, coming Mione?" Ron said, gazing at her again.

"No, I'll meet you there." Hermione replied. As the two boys left, Hermione reached for the letter, and opened it - feeling strangely nervous. She read it through quickly, and smiled.
