Italics- Ron's thoughts.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Ron, aren't you going to sleep?" Harry asked as he was about to go upstairs. "I'll sleep down here." Ron said,without looking at Harry. Harry put his hand on his shoulder. "Hermiones going to be alright, I doubt Seamus would hurt her." Harry said, trying to confort Ron. "I don't have a good feeling about him." Ron said. "Well thats because hes dating Hermione, now.." Harry said. "No, Its not just that, even if I didn't like her I would still have this feeling. I don't like him. And did you see how he was checking that Ravenclaw girl today?!" Ron said, he was getting wound up now. "Calm down and rest, you need it." Harry said. "I'll try." Ron said as Harry went upstairs. Ron was lying though. Even if he was so tired he couldn't keep his eyes opened he wouldn't call asleep. Not until Hermione came.

Ron kept his promise, he would usually be sleeping by now (it was 9:30) but he wouldn't. He kept checking the clock every 10 minutes or so. He tried to amuse himself, but he was getting really tired. "Wingardium Levosa" Ron said quietly as he levitated a chair. He was keeping himself busy. He checked the clock, it was exactly ten, so he thought Hermione was at least walking back here or saying her goodbyes.

Ron really needed sleep now. No..Stay up..For Hermione.. He thought, that kept him up for another five minutes. It was now 10:30 and he was slightly getting nervous, but he told himself she would be back by the next 10 minutes.

10:45..11:10..11:45..12:30..

Ron eyes were bloodshoot and he was now scared to death. "Where is Hermione?" He asked himself.

"I told you to get some rest." Harry came downstairs. This startled Ron. "Bloody hell mate, you scared me." he said. "You're still up." Harry said. "She isn't back yet! And its almost one!" Ron cried. "Well..thats a bit unusual.." Harry said. "A bit?! More like very!" Ron said. "Ron, like she said, she didn't exactly knew what time she was going to come back..just rest, she'll be here by this morning." Harry said. "And say if she isn't!?" Ron said. "Stop being so negative." Harry went back upstairs.

Ron suddenly felt cold, he got up and sat on the floor next to the fire. He looked at the clock again, 1:50 AM. This wasn't right, Hermione would of been back by now. He was so afraid of what they were doing..

Just then, a door opened. Ron quickly looked at there was Hermione. "Ron?!" she said, surprised he was still up. "Its 2 AM." Ron said as he stood up "I'm sorry." Hermione said. "I was so effing worried." Ron said. "Ron, I'm really not in the mood." Hermione said. Ron sat down on the couch. "Come here." Ron said. "I'm tired." Hermione answered. "So am I." Ron said. "Come here." he repeated. Hermione didn't want to fight with Ron, so she took a seat next to Ron. Ron moved closer to her, they were so close their arms were touching. He felt her skin, she was freezing. "Why are you so cold?" he asked. "We were outside a lot." Hermione said. Ron frowned. "You could get sick." Ron said. "Thanks." Hermione said sarcasticly. "How was you're date?" Ron asked. "Wonderful, look what he bought me!" Hermione said as she showed him the necklace he bought. "Lovely." Ron said.

How cheap.

And that was it, Hermione and Ron were just looking into the fire, her cold skin was still on his. Thats when she rested her head on his shoulder. This gave him a shiver down his spine. "You should really get to sleep." Ron said to break the silence. No answer. He turned his head slowly to see that she was sleeping on his shoulder. He smiled. Her wet hair (it was raining) on his clothes, they were getting kinda wet too, but he didn't mind. Slowly, he got up, and rested Hermione on the couch. He grabbed a pillow and quickly put it under her head. He smiled. She looked so peaceful..so beautiful.. he didn't want to leave her. He kneeled slowly down and kissed her on the cheek. She smiled in her sleep as he felt her face get warmer. He decided he didn't want to leave her, so he sat on the couch.

And he thought after that night, they maybe had something. Maybe.
