I don't own anything :[
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxXXxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Ron sighed as he put his head all the way down to his hands. He failed her again, he could of known what was happening if it wasn't for Malfoy..and he would of kissed her if it wasn't for Seamus, and she could of been here right now, laying on his chest like she was. Or maybe it was a sign, maybe she would of got scared and ran away. Ron didn't like the thought of that at all.
The door opened. Ron suddenly got his hopes high thinking it was Hermione, he was clearly wrong again. It was Ginny and Harry. "Whats the matter Ron?" Ginny asked as she saw her brother with his hands covering his face. He slowly looked up at her then at Harry. He looked at Ginny again. "Nothing." Ron lied. Ginny got confused. "Are you sure? You know I'm here for you right?" Ginny was concerned. Ron forced a little on his face. "Nothing, don't get worried. I'm fine." Ron lied. He hated lying to his sister, but he didn't want to tell her. Ginny was still confused and Harry knew she felt left out..but it was Ron's decision of not telling her. After a moment of silence Ginny said "Well, Luna wanted to meet me today, so i'll talk to you guys later." Ginny kissed Harry and hugged Ron. "Feel better alright?" she told him. "I'm fine." Ron lied now with annoyance. Was this how Hermione felt when Ron knew she was lying about being sick?
Ginny left the room and after the door closed, Harry quickly turned to Ron. "Lying to your sister like that." Harry said as he took a seat next to Ron. "I don't want to tell her."Ron said. "Tell her what?" Harry asked. Ron hestitated for a moment. "I almost kissed Hermione and Seamus came in at the wrong time." Ron said in one breathe. This definitly got Harry's attention. "You what?! Ron, even thought you like her you have to take the fact that she does have a boyfriend." Harry said. Ron frowned. "I wasn't thinking." Ron said. Harry sighed. "Where is she now?" Harry asked. "I was about to know until Malfoy showed up." Ron said frustrated. "Merlin does he show up at the wrong time." Harry said. Ron nodded. Harry asked all sorts of questions like, 'How long have you been waiting' and 'Was she going to let you kiss her?'. Ron wished he knew the answers to some of these questions, but most of his answers were 'I don't know.'
"Why do you think Ma-" Harry suddenly stopped for a moment. Ron looked confused. "So I think I'll be seeing Neville now." Harry raised his voice. "Mate what are you talking abou-" Ron stopped to as he saw Hermione coming in the common room. "See you later Ron?" Harry asked in a normal tone now. "Yea." Ron said as he also mouthed the words 'Thank you'. Harry nodded as a sign of 'Your welcome.'
Ron looked at Hermione, she looked tired then she was before. Without Ron even asking her she sat very closly to him, like the night he waited for her. Except she wasn't wet or cold this time. He felt her shaking. "Hermione whats the matter?" Ron asked. Hermione wouldn't even look at him. "Hermione.." Ron asked again, no answer. "Hermione look at me now." Ron said sternly. Hermione slowly moved her head to him but not all the way, and he still couldn't see her face since her hair was in the way. He put her hair behind her ears and saw that she was crying. "Hermione what did Seamus do?" he asked. "He thought..I..I was ch-cheating on him..I t-told him I wasn't and no-nothing happened..because nothing did happen.." Hermione managed to say. "I'll talk to Seamus and say it was my fault." Ron said. Now Hermione looked at him.
"Ron?"
"Yeah?"
"What were you doing?"
Ron gulped. He knew this was coming. But he thought as if she was honest with him, he should be honest with her. He opened his mouth, but then quickly closed it. How could he explain it? Hermione noticed the hestation and said "You don't need to tell me." she said trying to not pressure him. "No, its not that. I can't tell you, I..I need to show you." Ron said. Hermione raised her eyebrow. "Show me what?" Ron closed his eyes for a moment, then looked at her. "Hermione, if I do show you what I was going to do you have to remember that I wasn't quite thinking and I forgot you had a boyfriend." Hermione looked at him, he couldn't tell if she was confused anymore, she was just sitting there with no emotions. "Okay." she whispered, half nervous, but a bit excited. Ron looked at the door for a few moments knowing that no one could interupt, Harry wouldn't come in yet, Luna likes to take her time, so Ginny wouldn't be back. Seamus is probably calming down..and Malfoy, that would be just straight up priceless if he came in.
Ron looked at Hermione and did what he was doing. Slowly his head made towards hers, Hermione just staring. Ron finally felt het hot breathe on his cheeks. She was scared, but he couldn't stop now. Closer..closer.. no interuptions..
His lips met hers.
She was still crying with tears on her face, but he didn't care.
It was quite akward for the first few seconds, but then Hermione got used to it. She wasn't scared no more..
His hands were in her hair and her hands in his. He was surprised Hermione didn't push away. Actually, he swore she was pulling him closer to her. Ron felt her heartbeat, it was fast. Really, really fast.
No interuptions, everythings perfect.
God does Ron always jinx himself.
"HERMIONE?!?!" Seamus came in. Hermione quickly pulled away from Ron. "It wasn't what you were thin-" Seamus interuppted her. "You were snogging Ron!" Seamus yelled. His face was red now. "I come to check up on you and you kiss him?! What the hell?! Do you like him or something?!" Ron slightly blushed at this, but right now wasn't the time. Ron butted in. He looked at Hermione. "Sit down." it was a command, Hermione did it very quickly.
"You listen to him but not me?!" Seamus was still yelling at Hermione while now she cried harder. "Listen, two things. One, don't talk like that to her, shes already crying. And two, don't blame this on her..its my fault. I kissed her as she tried to push away but I wouldn't allow it. She said she had a boyfriend and she didn't want to cheat on him. This is nothing of her fault." Ron said calmy. Hermione wanted to go in, but didn't.
Seamus looked like he was going to punch Ron in the face. "Don't you dare ever touch my girlfriend again." he said, he was angier then ever. He looked at Hermione. "Come over here." Seamus said. Hermione went near him.
Seamus kissed Hermione, but it wasn't even romantic. He was doing it just to get Ron jealous..it did work, though. "Hermione, did that kiss with Ron mean anything to you?" Seamus asked. She took a quick look at Ron without moving her head. Very slowly, Ron tried to shake his head, trying to tell her "say no". He couldn't tell if she saw it but after she looked at him she said "No."
"Say it to Ron."
Hermione slowly looked into Ron's eyes and said. "It didn't mean anything to me." Hermione said. He had no idea if she was lying or not, but this did hurt him. It hurt him a lot.
And it did look like she meant it.
Seamus smiled. "I..have to go do something." he said as he ran out of the door. Ron eyes were wide and big. Hermione looked at him. "I'm going to go to sleep." Ron said before she could say any 'thank yous' or 'I'm sorry.'
Hermione just stood there, it was just as everything went so fast she had to think about it again to get everything right. Hermione sighed as she went up to the girls dorm, wondering if she'll ever have a normal convosation with Ron ever again.
Seamus was frustrated, he wanted to get Ron back so badly, even though he did. He wanted to make him pay for what he did. Then he just go an idea. He looked everywhere around Hogwarts, looking for the person he needed. And there he was, at Outside Grounds. Thank Merlin no one was there except for him. Seamus got closer to him the more nervous he got. The boy finally noticed Seamus was going near him and stood up.
"What do you want?" the boy asked.
"Malfoy, I need your help." Seamus said. "Getting back at someone."
Draco smiled. "Good thing you asked me."
