Chapter two

Harry growled as he studied the fire before him. Hermione and Ron had both missed their classes and Harry could only guess that neither had a good experience. Dumbledore no doubt trying to undo what ever Ron had done while every Gryffindor boy from second year upwards were huddled down stairs outside the girls dorm. Harry was bombarded by questions about how Hermione was coping if she wanted anything to eat and every other offer they could think of. While some of the older boys grumbled that Harry didn't take his responsibility as Hermione's friend too serious… after that Harry took to growling at any boy willing to ask him any more questions or wonder if they should visit Hermione.

It was right to say that Harry was fuming by the time a beetroot red Ron stumbled into the room and frowned at the boys who were chatting while some of the girls glared at them. Others just grinned or chatted about how sweet it all was.

Ron managed to make his way to Harry and offered him a small smile but Harry just glared at him.

"I know mate" "you know what Ron… the common room is a bloody waiting room for Hermione, do you know how many times I've been asked if I've seen Hermione naked or even kissed her. I've been asked at least fifty times how she feels to hold" Harry ground out.

He was mad because he hadn't had a moment peace… at least that was what it was. Of course the thought that most of the boys in his house were thinking about Hermione in that way didn't sit right but that was because she was his best friend.

Ron ducked his head and sighed "sorry mate… I didn't mean too" Ron blushed as he rubbed the back of his head "I-I-I don't even know what I did" Ron stammered causing Harry to glare at him.

"Well Dumbledore can fix it right?" Harry asked a little uneasy which only grew when Ron blushed again and shook his head.

"Ron" Harry began but the look that spread across Ron's face made the raven haired wizard groaned and shake his head.

"Like I said I don't know what I did… I didn't even say anything mate… bloody hell 'Mione is going to kill me" Ron muttered darkly before Harry rolled his eyes and looked to the groups of boys.

"Well if Mione doesn't" Harry bit himself off with a growl and looked at Ron who was watching him closely.

What we he meant to say… he couldn't tell Ron lately that he hated any boy looking at Hermione in a way that wasn't exactly a friendly way.

Harry couldn't even explain why when Ron's and Hermione's three week relationship ended he let out a breath. Of course back then he had simply stated that it was because he didn't want to chose between his friends if things ended badly.

But a voice that sounded strangely like Sirius poked at him telling him it was because he didn't want anyone else with Hermione.

"So what are we going to do" Ron's voice broke through to Harry and he held back the jump before turning his green eyes to his best mate.

"Hermione" Harry said with a sigh gaining an raised eyebrow from Ron "Hermione will know what to do… but we'll have to wait until later when she hasn't got a gaggle of boys waiting for her" Harry declared as Ron nodded stealing a quick glance at the groups of boys before lowering his head and blushing.

Later had in face turned out to be around one thirty in the morning when Dumbledore finally came to check in on the Gryffindor's to find half the male population of said house still awake or half awake.

After ushering them off to bed he winked at Harry and Ron who remained hidden before taking leave of them.

Ten minutes later Hermione's bushy head poked around the corner and in the stillness of the common room both boys heard her sigh of relief before she ventured down the stairs.

Harry smirked when Ron offered her a small smile but even before she made it off the last step both knew it was the wrong thing to do.

"RONALD WEASLEY WHAT DID YOU DO" Hermione all but bellowed while Harry sniggered into his hands while Ron folded his arms and attempted to tuck his chin into his chest.

"I'm Sorry Ronald what was that" Hermione demanded propping her hands on her hips. Her cinnamon eyes borrowing into the top of his blazing red hair.

After a few moments when Ron's face matched his hair he lifted his eyes enough to see Hermione still glaring at him before he sighed and lifted his head.

"I said I don't know… Dumbledore said something about wordless magic and being angry" Ron admitted and Hermione's face soften for a moment but both boys knew better then to believe that Hermione was anywhere near forgiving towards Ron.

"Well if Dumbledore can't fix this it looks like I'm going to have to" Hermione huffed before slumping into the sofa opposite her best friends, chewing her lower lips.

After a few seconds she lifted her eyes and caught Harry watching her.

"You two will help… this is Ron's fault but if you had been there Harry on time like I told you then you would have been able to help control the lummox's here" Hermione ordered as Harry's eyes grew and his jaw dropped.

Ron smirked but he quickly hid his face when Hermione snapped her eyes towards him.

Both boys slowly nodded that Hermione was just as bad as Mrs Weasley when it came to getting people to agree to things. Ron and Harry knew the moment Hermione said she had to fix this that they had no chance of escaping without their own chores.

"for now I'm going to bed because I'm tried and you two need your sleep" Hermione ordered as she swept to her feet giving them both a softer version of her glare before spinning round and heading back to her dorm room.

"She's bloody"

"Ron I swear if you say it I will hex you my self" Harry warned causing Ron to stare at him with bug eyes but he snapped his mouth shut and nodded before both boys made their way up to their dorm.
