THE CHRISTMAS FEAST

Ron snapped out of his argument with himself and looked up at Rose "What? What d' You mean?" he asked, confussed.

She just smiled at him. "Hermione," she whispered again. "You know she likes you. She just hasn't quite realised yet...I think..."

She waved back, wondering why Harry was taking notice of her. She smiled at him, slightly confused, but shrugged it off, and turned back to Ron.

Ron rolled his eyes "Hermione does not 'like' Me in that way. And nor do I 'like' her in that way....so whatever you are thinking..I advise you re-think it.." Ron sat there and lied through his teeth.

"Well I'm sure Molly would let you be with them, she'll drag you from here I bet if she had a chance, put some meat on them bones." He laughed. "But if you want a peaceful one to reflect, here would be a wise choice, I know what the Weasly's are like at this time of the year... I'll be staying here, Not risking spending it at Grimmauld place."

"Yeah. And I'm a squirrel with a revolver." She raised an eyebrow at him. "You just need to make her realise that she likes you."

Rose glanced at Ginny and rolled her eyes. "So obvious!" she mouthed to her. Shaking her head and smiling, she looked around to find the drinks.

Ron banged his head off his hand, this was getting extremly enbarassing "How the hell can you make someone realise they like you?!" He asked. "She doesen't like me..end of.."

"Well...hmm..." Rose mimed thinking for a moment, stroking an imaginary beard. "You could just tell her how you feel; get someone else to ask her out; make her jealous...so many methods...take your pick!"

Ron thught about it...how nice it'd be..to have Hermione. But then he thought of the enbarassment if she said not..althrough, he was feeling rather luck. He looked at Rose.."Would you...ask..her?" he asked quietly. At this point, Rose was the only one who he could trust, weirdly enough..

Rose was a bit taken aback. She'd never really thought that Ron trusted her that much. "Umm...yeah, ok, if you want. I can't say how successful I'll be, but I'll try for you." She put a hand on his shoulder and nodded, staring into his eyes.

"Oh it can be.. and I don't think revising all holiday will help your bordom, maybe.." He looked round incase anyone was listening "Maybe I could show you a few things around Hogwarts many don't know off and teach you a few things, my Christmas presents.. seeing as I don't have the money to get any this year, what do you think?"

Cho walked in to great hall,looking around in amazment of the place,she smiled to her self.She was wearing a bule dress which sparkly a little,with sliver shoes with a little hill.Her hair was curled even her hair was sparkling slightly.She looked around slightly notcing Harry near his house table with Hermione,Ginny and Ron ,she smiled once again.Not wanting to distrub him besides she was sure he didt want to spend chirstmas time with her,her head was spinning a little from the thoughts going through her head,maybe she wasnt thinking right these days she thought to her.She sat down at her table and looked at the food in front of her.She wasnt much hungry still deep in her thoughts.

He looked up and saw Cho enter and look in Harry's direction "..I'll take that as a yes.. I'll let you get back to your friends.." He said getting up with his plate and drink and moving to another table before sitting down and wolfing his food done like he hadn't eaten in months.

She slowly poured herself a cup of water as she looked behind to rest her eyes on Harry,he looked amazing to her,he hadnt really talked to her much these days.She looked at her self slightly,she wanted to get out of the hall before he saw her.

Romilda walked in and looked around and smiled at the decorations. She went over to the gryffindor table and sat down. then she just simply sat there watching people laugh and joke around. She poured herself a cup of pumpkin juice.

"It's fine.. least I can do to help, just make sure you get some rest and have some thing to eat and drink to get your strength back." He said finishing his dinner and trying to old back a yawn

Ron looked back at her "You don't have to.." he said, suddenly feeling slightly down. He didn't want this to wreck His and Hermione's friendship. He wasn't sure on what to do about his feelings anymore.
