I was meeting up with Ronald Weasley in the library, I had agreed to tutor him for Professor McGonagall, I didn't know much about him other than he was one of the most popular Slytherins along with Draco Malfoy, Deydaly Buckingham and Katie Black.

I was very honored that Professor McGonagall thought I would be a good choice to help bring Ron's grade from failing to passing. I just hoped Ron was serious about the tutoring, I didn't mind helping him but didn't want to waste our time if he didn't want the help. I had choose a seat in the back of the library so it wouldn't be so easy for Ron to get distract or so his friends or siblings wouldn't see us together. I was shocked that Ronald would be failing already, we were only three weeks into the school year.

I first met Ron on the Hogwarts Express on the first day of our First Year at Hogwarts. We've never actually talked nor hung out, his parents are strict Pure-Bloods and didn't want their children mixing with Muggles, Muggle-Borns, Half-Bloods or Blood Traitors. I've actually had a crush on him during our First and Second Years but the crush began to fade in our Third Year when he began to bully me along with Draco. I stopped caring about what the others thought of me. Strangely I still did fancy Ron and honestly, I didn't understand why.

"Granger..." Ron said gently as he sat down in front of me and placed his book on the table.

"Are you ready to begin?" I asked as I sat my books, quill and parchment aside, not looking up at him yet.

"Honestly? No...But if I don't bring my grade up Professor Snape and Dumbledore won't allow me to play Quidditch." Ron replied.

I just laughed softly and said, "Well...luckily for you, Professor McGonagall asked me to help you."

And with that we had began our tutoring session...Well, if you count talking as tutoring. We basically spent the whole three and a half hours getting to know each other better, we did do did some homework but we mostly talked. I was completely shocked at how much Ron and I have in common. Although we've never spoken nor hung out with each other, I hoped that would change.

I've been tutoring Ron for almost three weeks and honestly it has been the best thing in the world. My crush on Ron had been slowly redeveloping, I didn't mind but I was a bit scared that I was making a mistake of falling in love with him again. He came from a Pure-Blood family and I came from a Muggle family even if it did work out his parents would kill us both.

I could never believe Ron could end up like his parents, once you got to know him he was very sweet, funny and very friendly. He was everything his parents were not.

-Ron's Point Of View-
Can I just say how much I'm in love with Hermione Granger? She is honestly the most sweetest, nicest and smartest person I have ever met. I was very glad that Professor McGonagall had her tutor me, I did feel bad that I had bullied her in the past but thankfully she had forgave me for it, my parents are the only reason I bullied her. My parents expected me to be just like them and wanted my brothers and sister to join them as Death Eaters. However they disowned my brothers, Charlie, Bill, and Percy because they disobeyed them and chose not to become Death Eaters.

I was afraid that I might not ever get a chance to be with Hermione, I didn't want to risk her safety, I knew my parents would harm her because she is a Muggle-Born. I was also scared because I didn't want Lord Voldemort to hurt her if I didn't become a Death Eater, I could never do that to Hermione.

But, anyways...Let's just go back to Hermione. I know we've only been hanging out together for three weeks but I hope we never stop, anyone would be lucky enough to have her as a best friend and girlfriend. I just hope I didn't have to see her with another guy, I wanted to be her boyfriend more than anything and wasn't afraid to admit it. But I was going to do anything to put her safety first.

"Ron, Professor Snape is letting the team go to the Three Broomsticks after practice." My brother, George, had said. He and my brother Fred are both Beaters on the team and I am a Keeper.

"I won't be able to join you guys." I replied. "I need to focus on finishing my homework, if my grades are horrible Snape and Dumbledore won't let me play in any of the games."

I've been lying to my friends and siblings to where I've been going twice a week, after dinner for three weeks. I didn't want them to know about me being with Hermione even if she was just tutoring me. I knew they would make fun of the both of us, I didn't want anyone to hurt her feelings.

"Are you sure? I mean, you can always work on homework afterwards." Fred said as we put up our Quidditch equipment up.

"I'm sure, guys. I'll join you guys next time." I said as I pulled my regular shirt on.

"Oh! So you'll hang out with a Mudblood but not your brothers and friends?" George asked, bitterly.

"George! It's not what it looks like. Hermione was tutoring me because Professor McGonagall thought I needed the help! Professor Snape and Professor Dumbledore wouldn't allow me to play if I didn't get my grade up and you know that." I spat at him.

I knew they would tell our parents if they knew the truth: That this tutoring was turning into more than tutoring to me. I just wished I knew how Hermione felt about me even if we couldn't be together just yet. I was in love with her and would rather not keep our relationship a secret IF we ever did become a couple, I would never be ashamed of being with her. She was the best thing that ever came into my life and I didn't want to lose that.

"Ron, just go to the Common Room. Fred and I would like a talk with you." George said.

"And you," George said before they looked at Hermione, "How about you stay away from our little brother? You're not good enough for him and never will be you filthy little Mudblood." He spat.

The next thing I knew was George had whipped his wand out and pointed it at Hermione.
