Ron and Hermione~ A Harry Potter Fanfic.

Hogwarts Express

As usual the trio was very excited to go back to Hogwarts. Hermione wanted to get back to learning magic, Ron wanted to see his friends once more, and Harry wanted to get away from all the stress over the past Summer. Between the dementors, Harry's trial. the secret of the Order of the Pheonix and almost being expelled from Hogwarts Harry was ready to get back.

The three sat in a train compartment doing what they usually do. Harry and Hermione were reading a Daily Prophet , Ron was deep in thought thinking about his classes, Lord Voldemort and Hermione. All Summer Ron was trying to decide his feelings for his friend. He was still undecided as the 5th year started. "Hermione could you pass me my wand"?  Ron asked to break the silence. She nodded and passed it to Ron without a word. Like usual Ron's plan didn't work. Harry and Hermione were still deeply involved with their newspaper. "Harry when does the food trolley come by"? Ron asked. Harry shrugged and Hermione gasped. "Oh.My.God"! Hermione exclaimed. "I can't believe it!" Harry shook his head in disbelief. "What is it"? Ron asked. Harry scooted close towards Hermione on the bench, which made Ron boil a little inside. Why? He asked himself. Ron sat next to Harry as they read the Daily Prophet. 

They noticed an article about Harry and Dumbledore that Rita Skeeter wrote about them being liars and only trying to get attention, as usual the ministry of magic was taking this badly and believing it making Harry look like a attention hogger and a pitiful liar. Everything Harry wanted to stay away of. It's not his fault Voldemort decided to show up when no one was around.  

Hermione excused herself to use the loo on the train and Ron and Harry continued to read the newspaper, after about 10 minutes Hermione had still yet to return and the boys were getting worried. "Where is Hermione"? Harry asked Ron. "I dunno, she doesn't usually take this long." Harry put down his newpaper and they started to get up when they heard a familiar voice yell. "Get back here you filthy little Mudblood!". Harry and Ron exchanged furious looks and rushed to find Draco Malfoy pinning Hermione against a wall with his hands on either side of her and she had her arms crossed rolling her eyes as he stood very close to her.

Ron stomped up to Draco furiously with Harry at his heels, they both whipped out their wands and pointed them straight at Draco who took his wand out as well as Crabbe, Goyle and Pansy who were watching near by. 

"GET YOUR BLOODY HANDS OFF HER MALFOY"! Ron screamed. Draco released Hermione who looked down to the ground uncomfortable and she rushed over to Harry's side. Ron was furious, he's had enough of Malfoy's little games. Draco smirked at Ron. "Yeah? What are you gonna do about it Weasley"? Malfoy snarled. Ron shook his head lunging at Draco and grabbing his shirt collar pinning him to the ground his wand pointed at Draco's neck. Pansy screamed and Crabbe stepped forward to help but seeing Ron's expression stepped back. "Ron stop!" Hermione hissed. Ron shook his head. "You don't deserve to be called a Mudblood"! Ron snapped at her. She shook her head realizing there would be no stopping him. Draco smirked and Ron dug his wand harder into Draco's neck.

"What in Merlin's name is going on here?!" Yelled a cool voice. From the distance Severus Snape appeared. The 3 Slytherins made room for him while he approached Draco and Ron. Ron immediatly got off of Draco and stood by Hermione comforting her as he held on to her shoulders. "Weasley!" Snape snarled. Ron looked up at Snape, anger still lingering in his eyes. "Proffesor Malfoy was harrassing Hermione!" "You shall not interrupt me Weasley!" He turned to Draco who by this time had gotten up from the floor. "Sir, Weasel here came up and started attacking me! My life was in danger he held his wand to my neck!" Draco cried out. The other slytherins nodded. Ron shook his head. "You dog!" "How dare you!" Snape turned to Ron who was about to protest but Harry interrupted him. "Sir, Ron was only defending Hermione!" "POTTER! You shall not interrupt and further more you are not in this discussion!" He looked back and fourth from Ron to Harry. "Proffesor, Ron was only trying to help."  Hermione squeaked. Snape looked at her with disbelief. "Ms. Granger, you out of all people, to tell a lie? Now Weasley, Potter for your atrocious lying skills and dangerous acts on another student when we get to Hogwarts I will take away 50 points." They both gaped at each other. "Each! From Gryffindor". They both were silent and looked down. "Now all of you go get ready for the feast, we will be arriving shortly." With that he left and they parted ways in silence.

Ron put on his uniform and joined his friends back in the compartment. He wondered what Malfoy said to Hermione, she looked pale and uncomfortable but he wasn't going to ask. He was going to have to find out for himself. Ron excused himself and went out to Harry's luggage quickly grabbing his invisibity cloak and snuck to the compartment Malfoy and his friends were in. 

Malfoy was fixing his uniform smoothing it out before he sat down. Ron snuck in right before he closed to compartment door.  Draco huffed and started fiddling with his fingers. "I can't wait for this year to be over. I hate Hogwarts, the teacher suck, Dumbledore's off his rocker and Potter can't seem to leave us alone." He shook his head and pounded his fist on the table. "If only that stupid little mudblood could have told me. She keeps forgetting I have something on her." He smirked. Ron's inside were boiling. What did he have on Hermione? Was there something she wasn't telling him, he wondered? What does she know that Draco wants to know? What will he do to get her to tell him? Ron listened some more to their conversation. "She'll tell you eventually" Pansy assured him. He snarled, "I was so close!" Blaise Zabbinni spoke up, "what exactly do you need to know from her"? Draco show his head. "I'm afraid I can't tell you, not while we have a guest. Weasley show your face I know your there"! Ron stood still causing Draco to stand up and walk over to where the compartment door was. His friends looked at him like he was crazy.

The train came to a stop causing Ron to shift a little bit making his foot appear from the invisibity cloak. He quickly hid it but unfourtunatly Draco saw first. Great job Ron now you've done it. Draco pulled his cloak off holding part of it in his fist glaring at Ron. "Careful who you eavesdrop on Weasley!" Draco punched him in the nose. "Bloody Hell Malfoy!" Ron yelled holding his nose, which was now bleeding. "Ron"? Hermione's voice came from afar. Both Draco and Ron glared at each other. Ron snatched the invisibility cloak from Draco's hand and opened the compartment door. "Mark my words Malfoy, if you lay a hand on Hermione you'll pay for it!" Ron yelled. Draco smiled. "Oh if only you knew Weasley, Granger's got more on her then you'll ever know. That filthy mudblood's got secrets handed to her left and right and it'll get her killed one day if she dosn't learn to reveal them. I intend to get mine before that happens". He turned very serious and cold. "Whether it kills her of not". With that chilling sentence Ron left the compartment to find Hermione and Harry waiting for them. "Oh Ron!" Hermione ran up to him examining his nose. "What happened"? She asked. "I fell and hit my nose on the train floor on the way here" he lied.  Hermione used a healing spell and fixed his nose and they walked to the carriges that brought them the Hogwarts.

The whole time Ron could only think about Hermione and what Malfoy had said about her.
