Do You?

Chapter 6

That night Harry convinced Jake to sleep in the twin's room. That way Ron and Jake wouldn't have to acknowledge one another. Harry didn't quite know what to say to Ron but he knew that he would eventually come up with something. Before they all decided to go to bed Harry pulled Ginny aside.

"Whoa where did you come from?" Ginny asked with a smile on her face.

"Oh, I needed to talk to you in private, so I figured that was the best way!" Harry explained.

"Oh, well then what's up?"

"I know that it's getting late and everyone is getting ready for bed. But I honestly have no idea what to say to Ron."

"Hmmm…." Ginny thought for a second until Harry interrupted her thoughts.

"Should I tell Ron that Hermione likes him?"

"NO!" Ginny yelled making Harry jump. "Ron and Hermione have to tell each other on their own terms, we can't do it for them!"

"Ok, Ok. I won't say anything to him then! But what does that leave me to talk about?" Harry asked.

"Talk about…."Ginny paused for a second. "Jake. He's here and neither of you want him to be right? And he's not sleeping in the same room as you and Ron, so it won't be as tense."

"That's true, that will start the conversation. And I'm sure Ron will have a lot to say on this matter." Harry said with a smile. "Thanks Gin! Night." Harry continued before reaching down to give her a good night kiss.

"Night Harry." she replied after she kissed him.

When Harry walked up to Ron's room he wasn't there. As he walked into the room Hermione joined him.

"Ron's having a shower" she said trying to start conversation.

"Oh, thanks." He said not knowing what to say next. "Are you going to bed?" he asked trying to make it as little awkward as he could.

"Yea, I just wanted to say good night to Ron. But then I heard the shower running I figured it was him." she continued with a start as she suddenly saw Jake standing in the door.

"Hi, Jake." she said with an annoyed tone of voice. 'Why is it that everywhere I go Jake seems to be there?'

Suddenly Ron appeared behind Jake. "ah hem." he said to get Jake's attention.

"Oh, Ron. Did you need something?" Jake said with a smirk on his face. He was obviously happy he had gotten there before Ron had.

"Yeah actually. This is my room and I don't think I told you that you could come in!" Ron said trying to keep his cool.

"Oh, Harry and Hermione better leave then too!" said Jake in an 'don't think you can pull a fast one on me.' kind of way.

"Oh, well seeing that Harry is sleeping here he doesn't have a ask. An--" Ron tried to continue but was rudely cut off by Jake.

"Come on Hermione. Lets go, Ron obviously doesn't want you in here!" he said while reaching past room to grab her wrist.

"No, Hermione can stay." Ron said while smiling over at Hermione.

"I didn't here you invite her, Hermione you don't have to stay if you don't want to!" Jake said that a look of fake sympathy.

"Hermione is one of my best friends she is welcome anytime." Ron smiled as he stepped into his room and shut the door. "Good night." he said in a very sarcastic tone.

Hermione sat down on Ron's bed. The three of them sat in the awkward silence for a little while when Hermione got up to leave.

"Well I'm off to bed," she said as she stood and started towards the door.

"Hermione wait." Ron said as he rose from the floor, and shot Harry the look.

Harry had gotten the message and headed towards the door, "I better go say good night to Ginny. I'll be back." he said before he had left.

Ron quickly closed the door behind Harry so that there would be no rude interuptions from a certain unwanted person, and sat down on his bed. "Listen Hermione, I'm sorry I over reacted earlier today. It's just…" Ron stopped as he looked at Hemrione, she was cring "Hermione ,please don't cry." Ron begged her.

"I'm sorry it's just," she suddenly stopped, as Ron lifted her chin so she was looking at him instead of her feet.

'wow, she's so beautiful' Ron thought to himself before he began to speak. "It's just what Hermione?" he finally asked as he wiped a tear that had escaped one of her eyes.

"I just feel like it's my fault, I was the one who invited Jake and if I hadn't everyone wouldn't be having this problem!" she said as a few more tears escaped.

"Hermione, it's ok, it was nice of you to bring him along with you, I can't imagine starting at a new school at our age!" Ron said to reassure her that it wasn't her fault.

'I love it when he's understanding like this. It doesn't happen to often but when it does it's really nice.' Hermione thought.

"Thanks Ron,"she said as she opened her arms with a smile. He came close to her and carefully wrapped his arms around her.

'Wow, he smells so good.' she thought as her head his his shoulder.

'I hate it when she cried like that' he thought as they stood in te middle of his bedroom.

Suddenly, there was a knock at the door. Ron coughed to clear his throat then said, "come in." The door and opened with a start, Ron quickly removed himself from Hermione.

"Hermione what are you doing?" he asked. "You know he's going to hurt you again!"
