Secret

"...Harry found himself walking down to dinner alone from the common room, Ron having rushed off to a nearby bathroom to throw up yet again, and Hermione having dashed off to see Professor Vector..." HBP Pg. 523

1/2 hour earlier...

"You'll be fine, Ron. I've never seen the team practice so well before," Harry said, trying to ease Ron's imaginary fears. "You're just having pre-game jitters."

"I don't know, Harry," Ron defended himself and then pointedly looked over at Hermione silently walking beside them. She was still blushing. "I feel as if... if I won't make it. I really need it – to go to the loo I mean."

Hermione cleared her throat and then she spoke. "Perhaps some time in the library going over your homework might help you get over... your nerves."

Ron made sure he had a look of disgust on his face as if he felt revolted from the thought.

"That's not what I need, I feel sick... I have to go to the loo," Ron said. He looked over Harry's head, stared directly at Hermione and tilted his head slightly towards upstairs, away from the loo.

Ron watched as Hermione rolled her eyes and her face became a bit redder before she nodded consent. He immediately took off in the direction of the nearest male bathroom.

Ron Weasley rushed down the hall on the fifth floor toward his rendezvous. As he pushed through a crowd of little first years, he turned his head and checked behind him to make sure no one was following him. Ron wasn't entirely certain that Harry believed him and he feared that he might be following him. I can't believe he bought it, Ron thought as he ducked a flying ink pellet from Peeves that landed on a blonde first year's face behind him.

"Wooh Ickle Firsties!" Peeves the Poltergeist cackled to the screams of first years running away.

Bloody hell, I'm going to be late! Ron thought as he quickened his pace down the hallway and up a moving flight of stairs. He certainly didn't want to be late seeing how he practically begged her to be there in the first place.

Thinking back on it, Ron couldn't but help feel a bit randy when Hermione Granger was on his mind. His need to be with Hermione was reaching a dangerous level of obsession and no matter what he did she was always on his mind. Ron wondered how much longer he could keep their relationship secret from his best mate and the rest of the school. Not to mention his little sister who had been giving him deep, thoughtful stares every time she caught him looking at Hermione. Humph! Ron sneered as he thought of Ginny. She's been so busy snogging Harry that she probably hasn't even thought about Hermione and me. I swear the two of them need to learn to be more discreet.

-CRASH!-

Ron broke from his thoughts to see a nervous second year girl dropping her brass scales next to the hidden door of the Room of Requirement. Honestly, they get smaller and clumsier ever year, Ron thought as he whisked by her without even stopping to help her pick up her scales. He made a right at the end of the hallway and hurriedly headed toward their private broom closet. Ron knew that Hermione would be waiting for him and she would be in quite a state if he were late. Usually she liked to meet in more comfortable surroundings like an empty classroom or the Room of Requirement, but it didn't make a difference to Ron. As long as he had Hermione in his arms he couldn't care less where he was. Aragog's lair would be just fine with him as long as she was with him.

Ron smiled to himself as he walked. He still couldn't believe that they were actually together. After all this time, he thought. We're finally a couple and thank Merlin, no one has noticed. It was important to both of them that they kept their relationship secret. Hermione felt that it wouldn't be fair to Lavender to see them together so soon after she and Ron had broken up. When Ron had argued that Lavender had no problem snogging him in front of Hermione, she only smiled at him and said, "It's a girl thing. I wouldn't expect you to understand. There are certain things that girls just don't do and moving right in is one of them." Before Ron even attempted to reply back she leaned over and kissed him thoroughly and all thoughts of Lavender were instantaneously gone from his mind.
