Romione - young love

Chapter 3: Ron's chinwag

During the class, Ron wasn't really focused on professor Flitwick's lesson about Summoning Charms, which according to professor were very important for their upcoming O.W.Ls.
He kept thinking about Hermione, is she going to be okay...overall, everything!
He kept looking at Neville's failed attempts to cast a spell and he didn't even realize he was staring.
Harry hit him with his elbow to tell him how the class ended.

"Already?" Ron said as he picked up his books

Their morning classes lasted from 9:00am - 12:40am and pretty much the whole time Ron thought about Hermione.
Draco wasn't in any of the classes, so he wondered where's he now.

After the bell rang everyone headed to the Great Hall for lunch, except Ron and Harry who immediately headed to hospital. On their way there they met Ginny and she told them how Snape completely unfairly took 15 points from Gryffindor because a boy from her year accidently spilled a small amount of potion on the floor.

"How's that fair? And, he gave 10 points to Slytherin for "having a hawk's eye" because a Slytherin noticed the spilled potion" she rolled her eyes.

Harry noticed Ron didn't say anything on that. He wasn't even sure if he noticed his sister joined them so he agreed with Ginny just to let her know they didn't ignore her. At least Harry didn't.

Ron was constantly saying to himself "It's okay..she'll be alright..she's okay" but yet something was telling him she wasn't. He noticed Harry and Ginny exchanging glances and he could tell it was about what happened earlier in the hospital

They climbed the marble stairs and turned right to the wooden doors.

"Umm..Ron", Harry asked before they entered.

"I just...erm... I was wondering, why did you get..so angry at Malfoy? I mean, he insulted her..but you were really furious. I mean I wouldn't off attacked him because of that..I mean not because I don't care about Hermiome but..erm..simply because she didn't want you to attack him..you know what I mean?"

Ron was confused. He had no idea what did he try to say. He looked confusingly at Harry then at Ginny..

"What's your point exactly?" he asked

"I think Harry's trying to ask you," Ginny started, "why did you attack Malfoy after he insulted Hermione and not you? And why are you so worried to the point your body is only present and not your soul..madame Pomfrey will take care of her, I'm sure"

Well, Ron knew their point now.

"Blimey, they know. They know!" he thought but acted so non-chalant.

Maybe it's just better to stop pretending? He should just tell them, it's not as if they haven't already noticed.

"Isn't it obvious?" Ron said as they bypassed Peeves.

Harry couldn't keep himself from a comment

"It is obvious", Harry stated, "That's the thing" he smiled

"Erm..I" Ron wanted to say something in defence but his ears already gave him away.

"You don't have to say anything" Harry told him

"I like her..." Ron's ears turned not red, but scarlett, "I... really want her to..to be okay..you know? She's really golden..." he said

"Sometimes she can really piss you off but.." Ron didn't finish the sentence but smiled so did Ginny and Harry.

"I thought you knew", he started, "I mean I was always more obvious then her..and that's why I think she doesn't feel the same towards me" he said that with smile fading away from his face.
