Chapter 2

When Ron woke the next morning, he found Harry's bed empty 'he's probably having breakfast with Ginny' he thought to himself. Before he ate breakfast he decided that he would have a shower. When he had finished with that he went downstairs to the kitchen. When he got there he found Harry and Ginny in what looked like a very deep conversation. 'hmm, I wonder what their talking about. Did they even notice that I entered the room' he thought while taking his seat across from them.

"Hey, guys."

"Oh, what? Ron when did you get here." Harry asked uncomfortably.

"I dunno, two minutes ago maybe. You two seemed deep in conversation, I guess you didn't see me come down the stairs. What were you talking about anyways?"

Both Harry and Ginny glanced at each other awkwardly, they both remained silent. When Pig entered the room, they both looked quite relieved.

"Pig!" yelled Ron. 'Maybe he has a letter from Hermione.'

Pig, slowly made his way over towards Ron. Ron gave him a treat and took the letter attached to his leg.

"What a good way to start off the day" Harry started. "First your favourite meal, and then a letter from Hermione."

"Shut up Harry!" Ron said with a slight smile on his face as he unrolled the letter.

Dear Ron;

Good morning, did you have a good nights sleep? I tossed and turned all not long. Dinner didn't go as badly and as boringly as I thought it would be. There's a little girl age 7, she seemed like a nice little girl. There was also a boy, he's our age. His name is Jake, we talked the entire night we got to know each other very well. And guess what! He'll be attending Hogwarts next year. I can't wait for you and Harry to meet him, I'm sure you two will get along famously. That's all for now.

Hermione!

Ginny noticed that Ron smile began to fade away "Ron what's a matter?" asked Ginny.

"Nothing…ahh, nothings wrong. But all the sudden I'm not so hungry, excuse me." said Ron, and he had turned and ran up the stairs in a blink of an eye and slammed his door shut .

"Do you think we should go and talk to him. You know make sure he's ok?" asked Ginny.

"Maybe just me. I mean we don't want to push him away, so I think one person will be enough."

"Oh, ok. Well, I'll be outside if you need me."

"Ok, thanks Gin," he said before turning and following Ron's footsteps up the stairs.

When Harry arrived to Ron's bedroom, he heard Ron's voice.

"What did I get myself in to? Maybe Harry and Ginny are right, maybe I did fall for Hermione. What am I going to do, should I tell her before she falls for what's his name." 'Knock, knock, knock,' "Ron are you in there? Is everything ok?"

"Yes, everything is fine." Ron said sharply.

"Well, can I come in?"

"Sure I guess."

Harry slowly opened the door. He saw Ron looking out his window.

"Hey."

"Hi." Ron said shortly with out looking at Harry.

"I heard what you were saying before," Harry saying this made Ron whip around.

"Well, are you happy now?"

"What, do you mean?" asked Harry very cluelessly.

"You and Ginny were right. But it's too late! In Hermione's letter she wrote about a guy named Jake, and apparently they talked the entire night and really got to know each other." Ron said while pacing back and forth his bedroom.

"So. That doesn't necessarily mean anything at all, Hermione has just made new friend, that's all." Harry said to Ron who was now sprawled out on top of his bed.

"How do you know nothings happening between them?"

"Well, I don't. but either do you. And the only way you'll find out is if you ask her."

"But I can't do that with out telling her how I feel, and I'm not ready for that,"

"We'll find a way. Maybe Ginny could help us out."

"NO! Ginny can't know about any of this."

"Wha-? Why not?"

"Because she's Hermione's best friend and if she knows the truth about how I feel, she'll tell her. I just don't want Ginny to know."

"Ok, well we don't have to tell her, but I think she all ready has an idea."

"I know, I kind of got that message when Ginny freaked out on me last night."

"Oh, ok."

"How about we go down stairs and you can have some breakfast and hang out with Ginny and me, and maybe you can write Hermione, back."

"Maybe, but we'll see what happends." said Ron while getting up and leaving his bedroom after Harry.

When Ron got to the kitchen. Ginny gave him a sorrowful look.

"Are you ok, Ron." she asked.

"Yeah, just brilliant." he said with a little laugh.

"Are you going to write Hermione?"

"Yeah, actually. I think I am."

He went over the desk in the corner of the room, and grabbed a spare piece of parchment and a quill. On the parchment he wrote;

Dear Hermione;

I just got your letter, I'm happy you've met a new friend. And he's starting at Hogwarts, that's great. I can't wait to meet him. Just to clear things up, you and him are just friends right? Anyways Harry and Ginny are nagging me about going outside, I think their trying to include me in their activities. So write me when you get a sec.

'How should I sign it? Ron, like usual. Luv Ron. Love Ron. Sincerely Ronald?' he thought.

"I think you should definitely sign it 'Love Ron.'" said Ginny.

"Excuse me? How did you know I was thinking that?"

"You, said it out loud." said Ginny while giving him a weird look.

"Oh, so you think that I should sign it 'Love Ron?' Why do you think I should?"

"Well, I think Hermione, would be very pleased if you wrote it, and if it's truly how you feel."

"How about I just put x and o's Ron."

"Fine ok, that's good enough for now!."

So he signed the letter with x's and o's.
