Ron's P.O.V
When Ron woke up the next morning, he got up and rubbed his eyes looking around the room. Harry was just waking up too. It was half 7, breakfast started soon. Ron remembered last night, going through Harry's trunk, and wanting to look at the notes they passed to each other in class. He remembered that they started in first year, so Ron wanted to take a trip down memory lane.
"Hey Harry, you left your trunk downstairs mate, I wanted to have a look at those notes we passed to each other in class, they weren't in there, do you have them?" Ron asked.
"No, you probably didn't search correctly, they're in there." Harry replied. "I mean Hermione searched through it last night, she said she lost her bracelet in there." Harry laughed.
"Hermione doesn't wear bracelets, maybe I just haven't noticed." Ron said, laughing.
Ron and Harry got dressed and ready and went downstairs. Hermione wasn't there, she was probably down in the Great Hall already, Ron thought.
"Here mate, let me take a look, I'm sure the notes are in here, unless Hermione took them." Harry smiled.
Ron just thought of that, Hermione might have the notes. Ron's ears burned red. He told Harry that he liked Hermione in those notes. Ron hoped that they were still in the trunk.
"They're not here." Harry said plainly. "Hermione must have stole them, its your fault though for labeling it 'Keep Away from Hermione'. If I saw something labeled 'Keep Away from Harry', I would've done the same thing." Harry laughed.
"Harry, my deepest secrets were in there!" Ron exclaimed.
"Lets look at the bright side, my secrets weren't in there." Harry laughed. "Go ask her if your so paranoid." Harry told Ron.
"Do you know how humiliating that would be?" Ron looked horrified."Hermione doesn't like me! She's mad at me!" Ron yelled.
"Because your dating Lavender. Ditch her, and tell Hermione how you really feel." Harry said.
And with that, Harry walked down the stairs to breakfast. Ron followed. When Ron got to the Great Hall he decided to sit with Lavender to avoid Hermione. Ron was going to take Harry's advice and break up with Lavender, over breakfast.
Hermione's P.O.V
Hermione saw Ron sitting with Lavender. She could feel the steam coming out of her ears. Hermione was supposed to be avoiding him, not the other way around! She watched them closely. Hermione saw Ron take Lavender's hand, and whisper something in her ear. That was supposed to be Hermione, except Ron would actually look happy whispering in her ear. Hermione felt her eyes water as he pulled away from Lavender and kissed her on the cheek. He slowly got up, walking back to Hermione's table, and there was a sudden turn of events. Hermione couldn't believe her eyes. Lavender stood up, and tapped Ron on the back, as he turned around, Lavender picked up a bowl full of porridge, and poured it right over Ron's head. Hermione felt the tears in her eyes retract, as she burst into a fit of laughter, as did the Great Hall. She saw Ron's angry face, and felt better. What did he whisper in her ear, Hermione thought to herself. Harry smiled, but looked as though he felt bad for Ron. As quick as lightning, Ron ran out of the Great Hall, his ears burning red right through the sticky, brown porridge. Lavender looked pleased.
"Order, order!" Dumbledore's loud booming voice traveled through the Great Hall.
Professor McGonagall stood up in her seat.
"Miss Brown, ten pints from Gryffindor, and you will be joining me for detention at 8 o'clock tonight!" Professor McGonagall's lips thinned out.
Lavender sat back down in her seat, looking quite pleased with herself, slapping her friends high fives. Hermione began to feel bad for Ron. Her anger towards him was gone, as long as him and Lavender weren't together, she was happy.
Ron's P.O.V
Ron sat up in his dormitory, with no intention of going downstairs. Harry came up to the dormitory.
"Ron, its been two days already, everyone is over it. Nobody is even talking about it anymore." Harry tried to comfort Ron.
"I'm not going downstairs Harry." Ron said.
"Its Hogsmeade day, lets go to your brothers joke shop or something." Harry said. "C'mon, it'll be fun!" Harry urged Ron to come.
"Fine." Ron was still upset at Harry for giving him the idea to dump Lavender.
As they made their way down the stairs, nobody said anything, but they all stared at Ron, trying to hold their laughter in. As they exited through the portrait hole, Ron could hear giggles coming from behind them. He felt the heat rising in his face. As they got to the front door of Hogwarts, they saw Malfoy.
"Hey Weasel! I can't believe your hair is still ginger, I thought maybe the porridge would have turned it brown!" Draco snickered.
"At least his hair isn't as white as a weasel! What, is that subject still a bit sensitive." Hermione came around the corner, pointing at Draco's hair.
Draco slapped Hermione's hand away hard, Hermione winced.
"Don't point at me you filthy little mudblood!" Draco smiled.
"Don't you dare call her that!" Ron jumped on Malfoy, punching him in every place possible.
"Ron, its ok! Ron stop! Stop!" Hermione screamed.
Harry broke it up. Ron's face was red, and his lip was bleeding from the spot Draco had punched him. Draco had cuts and bruises on every inch of his face. Draco ran away. Ron was still breathing heavily. Without any warning, Hermione walked up to Ron and hugged him. Ron looked startled and awkwardly started patting her back. Harry grinned at Ron, who still had a look of shock on his face.
"You didn't have to do that, Ron." Hermione said into Ron's chest. "But thanks anyway. And sorry about the porridge incident" Hermione released Ron, and smiled up at him.
Ron smiled back. Hermione walked back up to the common room. Ron and Harry continued in silence to Hogsmeade. When they got to the joke shop, they stopped. Ron looked at Harry.
"Was that weird? Because I thought that was weird, first she wouldn't even look at me, and now she's hugging me, and smiling!" Ron was looking at Harry, with a confused look on his face.
"You broke up with Lavender, mate. What can I say?" Harry joked.
The two of them made their way into the joke shop. Harry was laughing, and Ron just looked dazed.
