Hermione swung her legs over and sat at the Gryffindor table next to Ron.
"Hullo Ronald." She smiled. "How are you? I havn't seen you in awhile. Is something wrong?"
It sure seemed something was wrong. This entire year and the last month of the summer he'd been acting strange. Almost like he was mad. But he clearly opinionated that he believed Harry. Could it be Hermione he was mad at? She mused trying to find a reason he could be mad at her.

Ron had just sat down at the Gryffindor Table. He was starving he felt as if he had not ate in forever, but in reality he had just ate breakfast four hours or so ago. He grabbed his plate and looked at all the food before taking a spoon full of potatoes, some kidney pie, corn and a chicken leg. He took a bite of his chicken when Hermione just seemed to pop out of no where. He chocked on his chicken now and started to cough a bit as he took some pumpkin juice and gulped it down.
When Ron's coughing died down he turned to Hermione and gave her a glare. " Don't do that!" he stated still glaring at her. " I was fine until you scared the bloody hell out out of me!" he stated simple at first and then she asked yet another question and sighed a bit. " No, nothings wrong.. why? Are you ok?" he asked her the glare on his face had final disappeared. |

"No and I'm sorry. I was just well...erm..never mind." Hermione trailed off lookeding down at her fingers absent-mindedly twining together. She almost though about confining in her best friend but chickened out. He wouldn't understand. He would just blow up at her and try and challenge him to a duel. Ginny was a no. She was younger and would ask personal questions Hermione was barely able to admit to herself yet. Maybe Harry... She noticed she'd been looking strange and Ron stared at her like she was crazy. Hermione gulped then started to talk again and come back to the real world.
"Well how's your begining of 5th year been? You havn't asked for "homework help" in awhile. Actually, I havn't seen you this whole week." Hermione tried to make a joke out of it to distract him. She prayed it would work.

Ron gave her a strange look as he took another bite of his chicken. Then looked back at her shaking his head he could tell that there was something wrong and he just could not figure out what it was. He scratched the back of his neck a bit still giving her a strange look. Then shrugged a bit when she said that he had not asked for homework help in a week or so. " Well, maybe thats because I have gotten smarter.." he stated with a grin on his face. He sighed a bit he wanted to ask her what was wrong but Ron was never good with the whole feelings and emotions things. He glanced at his plate of food then back at her before speaking up again. " Hermione what's wrong?" he asked her. |

Hermione eyes widdened in shock. She blushed at being figured out and tried to look away from his concerned gaze. Ron never noticed something was wrong. What was happening with her life. It'd been twisted upside down. She was ill-prepared for this. What should she say? She was never a good liar.
"What do you mean?" She studdered.

Ron shrugged a bit shaking his head at her. " Well, for one your acting strange.. and for another I know you know what I meant.. after all you are a rather smart witch.." he stated with a short smile. " Care to enlighten me on whats wrong?" he asked her. Then took a bite out of his corn. Granted he was in a conversation but he was hungry and Hermione by know should be used to most of Ron's actions anyways. |

"I well...erm... I'm confused. I want to tell you Ron. But I'm scared and I don't want to make you mad." Hermione almost cried. She never would've even said that if she didn't need so desperately to tell someone. She needed help. Ron wasn't her ideal choice but she trusted him. He was her best friend. She just hoped if she told him he would surpirse her and not react in a...a... Ron-like way.

Ron glanced at Hermione and tried rather hard not to give her an odd look again she looked as if she was about to cry. " Uhh.." he stated simple at first. " Just tell me already Hermione.." he stated simple not knowing what else to say. He couldn't tell her he won't get mad because knowing Ron if it was something bad he may get mad but he would try really hard not too. |

Hermione went against her better judgement and decided to tell him. She needed advice. Maybe... just maybe... there was a slight chance he could help her.
"Well... I think I like someone." Hermione voice was almost to low to be heard but her blush was as red as her best friend's hair. "Like romantically." Her stomach flopped as she waited for his reply. She was scared and nervous and didn't know what to do. It wasn't like her crush on Krum. It was way different.

Ron swallowed hard he did not like hearing this and now he was really regretting even asking her what was wrong. He stared at his food and took another bite of his corn before even speaking up. " Right.. well I think maybe you should be talking to Ginny or even maybe Harry about this. I'm not the person you should be talking to about this.. umm yeah remember I'm Ron not very smart.. yeah.." he stated as he took another drink of his pumpkin juice. |

Hermione was shocked. Ron was acting maturely. It took over her feelings of embarassment.
"Yea. You're right but Harry hasn't been around lately. And Ginny would ask too many questions. But I'm fine. I don't have to tell you if you're not okay with it." Hermione was shocked by the strength of her own voice. But noticed Ron looked sick. "Are you okay? Do you want me to help you to the Hospital Wing. You look sick."

Ron shook his head at her. " Don't tell me.." he stated simple;e taking another drink of his pumpkin juice. " I don't want to know." he stated. Ron shook his head once again when she asked about the hospital wing. " No, I don't need the hospital wing.. I think I just ate to much.." he stated shoving his plate to the side. |

"I'm sorry." Hermione said fighting back her tears that she couldn't. So she started to get up. How stupid was she. Trying to tell Ron? Of all the people... "I'm... sorry." She got up and started to walk as fast as possible out of the great hall. Ron would not see her tears. She knew why they were there. Ginny had been right. About Ron and about everything. Now her problem of liking someone became ten times worse.

Ron sighed a bit as he heard her say sorry. He rubbed the back of his neck glancing at her as she walked out of the great hall. But he rally had no idea what to do was he supposed to stay there or go after her to make sure she was alright. He knew the right choice but did the opposite not really thinking and stayed where he was taking a drink of his pumpkin juice. |
