School Days

Chapter 1 : Ron's Reaction

"Ron can I talk to you?" Fred asked.

"Yeah." Ron replied.

"Over here." Fred said walking toward the fireplace of the Griffindor common room.

"Okay." Ron said getting up from the chair where he and Lavender had been sitting. "So… what's up?"

"Well your dating Lavender and…"

"And what?"

"I was wondering if you would mind if I started dating Hermione?"

"No. She's my best mate."

"Thanks."

"No! I meant that you can't date her!"

"Why not?"

"She's too young for you!"

"She's only a year younger than me!"

"All the more reason. A year's a long time you know."

"I see what's going on here, you want Hermione for your self."

"I do not!"

"Than why are you turning the same color as our Quiddich robes?"

"Because I care about Hermione. But not like that."

"Hey George I think ickle Ronnie-kins has a little crush on Hermione." Fred called across the room just as Hermione walked in.

"Now look what you've done!" Ron yelled as Lavender ran past Hermione to the girls' dormitory.

Hermione walked over. "Now what is this about Ron having a crush on me?"

"Nothing Hermione." Ron sulked over to an armchair.

"I was the one with the crush on you." Fred winked.

"Oh Fred you're such a kidder."

"But no Hermione, I was serious."

"No you weren't Fred. I'm your little bother's best mate, the bookworm. You don't' like me."

"But…"

Hermione was gone before he could finish his sentence.
