Hermione couldn't get over how big Ron's ego had become in a just ten minutes. And the same with Viktor, he hadn't annoyed her this bad since he practically lived in the library when he was in the Triwizard Tournament.

She made her way up into the Girls' Dormitory and touched up her make-up. Eyeliner, and mascara – waterproof; she'd need it after all the crying she was doing, and lip-gloss – lots of it but not too much, she was planning to forgive Ron later...

Ron on the other hand was just regretting what he did to Viktor because in a way he hurt Hermione as well. But then a little voice yelled triumphantly in his head because he just let out all the jealous anger he's had since the Yule Ball and Viktor had his hands all over Hermione that night.

Hermione came down the stairs and found Ron. He was by the fireplace, head in his hands.

"Hey." She said quietly.

"Hi," Ron mumbled in his hands, and then suddenly looked up, "Sorry," he said blinking, "sorry..." he repeated but slowly. "About everything, but if I'm honest I did have some anger issues towards him, ever since the Yule Ball, with him touching you – what I'm trying to say is that you deserve better."

"Thank-you Ron, but you can't make decisions for me," at this Ron avoided Hermione's eyes. "But I've made my decision, Ron, my decision is you."

Ron looked at her, fiery passion in his eyes, stood and held her in a warm, hot embrace. He was about to lean in – at which Hermione stopped him, "Ronald Bilius Weasley; behave will you! Later." Hermione giggled.

...

The couple walked down the Grand Staircase, arm in arm, making their way down to the wake. Suddenly Ron unhooked his arm at the bottom of the last block of stairs, and did something Hermione didn't really expect – he bowed to her. He looked up, a wicked glint to his eyes, and he smirked. Hermione blushed.

Ron re-hooked his arm with Hermione's and they entered the Great Hall again.

The Great Hall looked so much different. Black drapes hung down from the ceiling with a large 'H' on it, with a few stars dotted on the fabric. It was a lot darker now, candles floated everywhere. Bright flowers were placed on the circular tables, to brighten up the morbid mood. People they knew were speaking in hushed tones again. Luna was trying to lighten the mood, which was unsuccessful, until Harry told a witty joke to Ginny; which everyone heard and they all cracked up. Until they realised they shouldn't.

Viktor on the other hand was looking very sullen – more sullen than usual. (Was there really much difference?) Ron and Hermione made their way to talk with Harry and Ginny.

"Hey," Ginny said, Harry smiled. "What have you two lovebirds been doing after that fight?"

Viktor looked up sharply.

"Fight?" Harry asked quickly.

"Yeah, Viktor punched Ron after Ron told him that you were the BEST Seeker in the world - which I have to agree to. And then Ron insulted him again by telling him that he's not much better than a Death Eater – sorry. Viktor took another swing at him but this time Ron dodged it and then Viktor took his wand out – looking like he wanted to kill Ron and then Hermione stopped it. Overall I found it quite entertaining."

"Entertaining? They wanted to kill each other," said Hermione.

"Ron? Can I talk to you for a moment?" said Harry.

"Sure."

The two lads walked out together, into the Entrance Hall. They faced one another.

"A fight?"

"Yeah, so?"

"Ron, something like this could break out another battle – and it doesn't matter how big or small it is." Harry said to him with a slight anger in his voice, Ron couldn't blame him.

But Ron had to say something, "Yeah, but if a complete twat wanted to get Ginny, the girl you love – what would you do?"

Harry slowly nodded in agreement.

Suddenly a scream sounded. Ron and Harry spirited in the Great Hall to see which one of their girlfriends screamed. It was Hermione.

Viktor had Hermione against the wall, kissing her – well more like snogging her. Including tongues... Hermione was trying to push Viktor away, but he pulled her closer to him more.

Something in Ron snapped. He wanted to kill Viktor to tear him apart. But before his anger could take him over completely, Ron had a single thought, She's decided alright.

Whoa. Viktor, what a scum bag. Ron, he is beyond cute when he's will Hermione do? How will Ron react to Viktor? Punch him? References - Triwizard Tournament - Goblet of Fire - but you knew that. The name Bilius I found on Wikipedia - I have no idea where J K Rowling got that from, but hey - who cares? I liked making this chapter, it was interesting. If you'd like more... please review :)
