Finally after makeing it to the the great hall they sat down to eat when Dumbledore stood up. Bloody hell can't we just eat!! Ron growled angrily and rolled his eyes. You'd better listen to him hes the headmaster a girl said to him that was setting opposite of him and Harry. I know who he is!!!! Ron shouted. Who are you? Hermione Granger! And your are? Ron Weasley..... Oh I know you!!! Your the one everyone calls Fa-.....she stopped herself. I mean your the one everone calls names. Ron hung his head down. Quiet!! Quiet please. Dumbledore said in a low but powerful voice. Now I have a few things to say before we get to breakfast. First of all the forbidden forest is out of bounds to all students, and Mr. Filch has asked me to remind all that the third floor corridore is out of bounds as well, one more thing before we eat I would like to welcome all of our new first years with a round of aplauds. Everyone in the great hall clapped and screamed everyone except the slythrins of course. So what have you to got? I've taken nine classes including Magical Mysteries of the unknown it's supposed to be the most difficult class for a first years. Harry and I have take the same class's. Transfiguration, Double Potions, Care of Magical Creatures, Wand Waving, and Hurboligy. Oh I have those class's as well! I guess I'll see you to in Professor Flitwicks Wand Waving. Hermione got up and strolled off with her nose high in the air. Harry looked at Ron who had a frown on his face Harry smiled at him. We should go get our things for Flitwicks! Ok! They ate quickly an ran off to get there things at Gryffindore tower put on the way they were stopped, Malfoy stood in front of them. Well Well Well if it isnt Harry Potter and his girlfriend Weasley. Shut Malfoy or I'll!!! Or you'll do what fag. Malfoy said to Ron coldly. Suddenly a voice shouted behind them. WINGARDRIUM LEVIOSA!!!! Harry andRon watched as Malfoy rose high into the air, they turn sharply to see Hermione waving her wand excitily at Malfoy she quickly flicked her wrist and Malfoy went wizzing through the air an banged into a door and fell to the ground. WOW! Ron said his mouth hung open. I hate rude people Hermione said and she smiled at them and told them that they needed to get to Wand Waving. Harry looked stund at Ron and Ron looked stunned at Harry for a second then grabbed Harry by the hand and pulled him on. Harry and Ron knew that friendships start with a helpful hand or a noble act and well this was both and from that point on they knew they had a knew deep friendship with Hermione. Chapter 8 If he only knew Ron set snug beside Harry in flitwicks class and never took his eyes off Harry and Hermione started to notice this after three days of this in every class they had, and Ron holding Harry's hand every chance he got, she became very suspicious and was determind to find out what was going on between the two of them. Harry are you going to go see Hagrid today? Yeah! Can I come with you? Ron asked. Sure. after they ate dinner they took off to Hagrids hut. They walked down the sloppy plain to his small hut and Harry knocked on the door. Hagrid its me! a moment later the door swung open and a giant of a man stood. Oh hello Harry! Hi Hagrid! This is Ron. Oh yes I knew yer brothrs fred and geroge very well very well indeed. You seem to be alot better then those to. Hagrid said beaming at Ron causeing Ron to go red in the face. Once inside Hagrid cleaned a couple of chairs and they sat down and Hagrid offered them some tea witch they genrously took. Harry gulped his down in one try while Ron sipped at his all the while looking at Harry up and down. Hagrid got used to seeing Ron do this after awhile and thought nothing of it, they sat and talked for some time. Well I think it best time fer yeh ter get back ter the castle it's gettin late. Ron and Harry walked out of the door said good night to Hagrid and turned to go back to the castle Hagrid grunted a bit and Ron turned around slightly and Hagrid gave him a sharp wink as if he knew Rons interests. Once back at the castle they headed up to Gryffindore tower where they met George and Fred. Hello Harry! Hi George, hi Fred. You two been out spankin each others monkeys!!! Fred said loudly. and him and george walked off laughing. Harry looked at Ron. What was all that about? he asked Ron. Ron hung his head down. I, I dont know.... That night in Gryffindore tower Ron lay in his fourposture wide awake thinking about one thing....The boy that was lieing in the bed next to his own. If he only knew.... Ron thought to himself as the long night drug on and on, the thoughts going through Ron's head were keeping him awake he couldn't sleep he couldnt think of anything eles. Ron finally decided to go down to the common room and set in front of the fire in the warm recliner. Harry Potter, Harry Potter, Harry Potter. Ron was saying that name over and over in his head everytime he closed his eyes he saw him. If he only knew. Why dont you just tell him! a voice came from behind him, Ron turned swiftly, It was Hermione. You would feel much better if you just told him. Told who what? Ron asked looking as if he didn't know what Hermione was talking about. You know what i'm talking about i'm not stupid anyone with a little sence could tell it, even Hagrid could tell. Ron's face went white. H, he could? Yes. Hermione said gently as she went and sat down next to Ron and put her arm around him to confort him. Listen Ron it don't bother me one little bit that you like Harry and Hagrid told me that he thought you two made a nice couple I agree with him. Even though I kinda thought Harry was cute myself but Ron I can tell there's more to the way you like Harry than thinking he's cute, I think your in love with him...... Am I rite? Ron just nodded. I thought so. Now listen to me Ron I know it's difficult to just come out and tell some one how you feel especialy in this case, But....Wait I think I may know away around that i'm not sure but maybe we need to go to the library. Now? asked Ron. Yes now that is if you want to fine away to see if Harry has the same feelings towards you!!!! Ron Quickly got up out of his chair and him and Hermione dashed out of the portriat and down the stone steps into the long corridore. Mean while Harry lay in his own bed waken by a dream, his dream looked and felt almost real he had been at a dance No! he though is was a Grand ball and he was danceing with someone he had goose bumps on his arms he someone had there arms around harry's body there head snug on his shoulder he could feel there warm conforting breath on his neck his own arms were wrapped tightly around the figures body it was the most wonder full feeling in the world suddenly he felt the head raise off his shoulder and a pair of lips meet his own it was magical sparks flew the figure backed off slightly it was blurry but Harry could make out red hair it was Ron. Then he woke up suddenly. He lay there thinking about this for awhile. He had first started feeling different ever sence he saw Ron wink at him on the platform and now this dream it could only mean one thing his feelings were true even his heart heart when he thought of Ron he knew he was in love with Ron. BUT ONLY IF HE KNEW!!!!!
