Getting The Point .

Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter or any of the characters.

A/N: I'm writing this story based on an amazing editorial I read over at Mugglenet by Maline Freden (North Tower). The editorial is called "the Future Gryffindor Quidditch Team" and I suggest checking it out. In the editorial it discusses why JKR would have the Gryffindor quidditch captain kick Ron off the team (she said this might happen in an interview) and this is the story made out of her theory. ENJOY the first chapter!

Ron and Hermione... Hermione and Ron...

That's how it's always been. I may be the famous Harry Potter, but when it comes to my two best friends, it's all about them. When I'm off doing my heroic stuff, or wallowing in my angst, they are always together. Doing homework, figuring out mysteries, on prefect duties. When anyone ever thinks of the trio, it's always: Harry Potter, RON AND HERMIONE.

I'm with them now, in the common room studying. Well, trying to study. I keep getting distracted by Ron who keeps looking over at Hermione. She's sitting on the floor by the fire working on one of her silly projects; mistletoe this time, for the common rooms. Ron doesn't know it yet, but he can never keep his eyes off Hermione. Sure, she's an attractive girl, even I've noticed, but he seems infatuated with her sometimes and it drives me crazy.

"ouch!"

I turn from my work and see that Hermione has just cut her self with the pair of scissors she's using to curl the ribbons. She seems alright and I turn back to my work--Ron's gone!

I look back to Hermione on the floor and see that Ron is there now, standing above her and observing her work. I turn back again to my own work, forcing my self not to get involved in one of they're infamous rows which is sure to ensue.

"What are you making anyways?" I hear Ron ask a bit tactlessly. And I can almost feel Hermione roll her eyes at him.

"Its mistletoe," She answers shortly.

"Mistletoe? What's that?"

No way! There's no way that Ron doesn't know what Mistletoe is. That's something that's common in the muggle and wizard world, he can't be that daft!

"You don't know what mistletoe is?" Hermione asks incredulously.

"Well, I know I can be ignorant sometimes Hermione, and I'm not as smart as you, but I really don't know, I mean, what are you supposed to do with it?"

What? Wait a minute…he knows damn well what you do with mistletoe! Since when has Ron been so smooth though?

Hermione is silent for a moment, thinking.

"Well, err- well you…"

Maybe she's fallen for it. And I thought Hermione was smart!

"Nice try Ron!" She finally caught on.

She's laughing at him! And I could swear that I just heard her slap him…playfully of course. Since when was Hermione playful, what was wrong with my friends tonight! Ron smooth and Hermione playful?

"Hermione, I need some help with my transfiguration homework," I hear Ron whimper.

"Ask Harry."

"Harry's useless," He responds.

I furrow my brows "Thanks mate," I chime in sarcastically.

"Sorry," He apologizes as an after thought.

"Ok, I'll help you, but you'll owe me," she says.

"What do you have in mind?"

"Oh I'll think of something good," She says in un-Hermione-like, playful and almost sexy tone.

I do believe my friends are flirting. I look up slightly to see Ron joining me at the table once more, now with a stupid grin on his face. I also spot Hermione heading up to the common room, most likely going to grab her homework in order to help Ron. He's watching her leave, starring at her the whole time she's going up the staircase! Ron likes Hermione!

I had come up with this theory back in fourth year after the Yule ball, but didn't speak my mind in fear of the Weasley/Granger wrath. Ron hadn't gotten the point of their argument. Maybe now was time to say something before I went crazy.

Ron turns back to me, the stupid grin still plastered on his face. I look at him knowingly and can't fight my own smile. Best if I drop the news on my thick-headed friend gently.

"Hermione's a great girl uh?" I say casually.

"yeah" he says.

"She looks real nice tonight."

"Sure."

This is going to be harder than I thought….

"Smart and funny as well, real nice."

"yeah, Harry, do you like Hermione or something?"

My eyes widen in shock. Again, he completely wasn't getting the point.

"No! No Ron, YOU like Hermione!" I say in frustration and he looks at me as if I'm insane.

"I don't like Hermione!"

"Yeah right," I say and then put on a mock-Ron-voice, "What's Mistletoe?"

Ron furrows his brows at me in anger. Here comes the Weasley wrath I mentioned earlier.

"You're bloody crazy Harry. Whatever drugs your taking, I suggest you stop!" He says violently while picking up his books and heading off to the boys dormitories.

I sigh in frustration and Run my hands through my hair. Not only has my dear friend missed the point, but he is also in complete denial.

I hope you all liked this!! I have more planned, but before I continue I would really like to know if I've sparked you're interest! Please leave a review, I'd really appreciate it!!! Thanks for reading
