Ron's Resolution

Chapter One : The Resolution

It was a warm sunny day,Ron awoke to the same feeling of nervous excitement he'd been feeling for the past few days .He just sat on his bed with a goofy smile on his face,staring into space...

Harry took his chance and got into the shower.

"Hey! Thats'not fair.I got up first.I should get the shower first",complained Ron.

"Well apparently you have to us those two little legs and GET INTO the shower first",Harry yelled back.

Ron finally got his butt outta bed and walked around the room a few times before he stopped at the window.Something had caught hs eye.

Aah... that was Hermoine... the object of his affection.She was walking back to the castle from the lake.

"Hmm.. I wonder why she was up so early.Maybe she couldnt sleepbecause she was thinking of ME...".

"Fat Chance!",said a rather rude voice in his head.

He let out a loong sigh and resolved "I have to tell her today",the same resolution he'd been making day after day after day.

His problem was that he couldnt gather up the guts to even hint to her that thier friendship was not platonic anymore.He had been reading about several romances ,how wizards propose etc...

He knew she loved him but he wanted her to be IN love with him,just like he was IN Love with her.They were beginning the seventh year and he really wanted to spend this year as her 'Boyfriend' not 'best friend'.

Not that he lacked attention from the witches!

Harry ,Draco and Ron were the coolest hunks in the school.The entire female population of the school was at thier feet.

"I could get just about anyone",he thought with a smug expression.

Meanwhile Harry was showered and dressed and was collecting his books when he noticed that Ron was still at the window.

"Come on Ron .Move it.You've got two whole hours of History of Magic to think about her.Get moving or you'll be late for Snape"

Ron took his advice and soon they were down in the corridors, walking towards the dungoens.

"You got it easy pal!I never knew our Ginny had the guts to walk up to a guy and ask him out!Your problem is solved.What do we do about me?"

"Well I happen to know exactly what to do with he two of you",sneered Snape.

"Ten points from Gryffindor for being just in time .You two should be here ten minutes before time to distribute the potins ingredients".

They didn't even try to protest .They were used to seven years of this kind of unfairness .After the War,even Harry and Draco could just stand each other but Snape hadn't changed his stinky attitude one bit.

They somehow made it through two hours.

After the class,Hermione hurried up to them and asked "Where were you?I didn't see you guys at the breakfast table".

"Yah",said Harry,"thats all thanks to Ron who was absolutely lost in thoughts of...(Ron gave him a very ugly look)...of a shower! Ya thats it! A shower!".

Harry had to stifle a laugh looking at Herm's expression.She must have thought he was crazy.But Ron was the crazy one .Crazy about her that is.He would give Ron two more days to tell her.If he still hadnt managed it Ginny and he would have to put plan B into action.
