Enchanted Love *More Than Friends?*

Later that day, Ginny met up with Hermione after Ancient Ruins. "I told you, I told you, I told you!" she cried with excitement.

"Told me what?" Hermione asked (as if she didn't know).

Ginny rolled her eyes and scowled. "Ron doesn't do that!" she protested. "And if he doesn't like you...then I'm the Queen of England!"

Hermione got serious. Just above a whisper, she agreed. "Ok. Maybe he is acting a little different. Maybe it's not me. Maybe it's just another girl, and he's a happier person, so he's just being nice to me."

Ginny gave Granger an 'are-you-stupid?' look and repeated, "Acting a little different? Another girl?"

Hermione frowned. "Look-I've got to get to my next class. I'll talk to you later, alright?"

Ginny looked down at the ground and answered, "Whatever," and walked away.

It was time for the Gryffindor's fifteen minute break. This is when everyone would go outside and visit with friends. As for Hermione, she would sit in the library to read or study.

So, here she was, gazing over Hogwarts, A History (again) when she felt a hand on her shoulder. She slowly turned to see who it was. When she saw who the culprit was, she jumped.

"Ronald!" Hermione cried, "Don't do that! You scared me half to death!"

"Oh...sorry," he apologized, as he sat down beside her. "Hermione," he asked, "I wanted to ask what you were doing tonight." Hermione gave him a weird look. "I mean, I wanted you to read my report before we leave tonight for my place. To see what you think, of course."

He finished and she gave a smile. "Sure! I mean, of course I will!" she announced.

"Well, could you read it up in the boys' dormitory? Because that's where I wrote it, so it will give you a feel of how...I wrote it?" he questioned himself. Then asked, "You know what I mean, right?"

She nodded her head. "Yes, Ron, I know what you mean. Wow. I know what you mean? That must be a first!" she joked.

He shoved her playfully and then gave her a quick, little hug. "Thanks, Hermione, you're the best!" and with that, he left the library. She looked back down at her book and grinned.
