Hermione turned pink. She hadn't been completely serious, but there had been moments where Ron and Hermione had almost kissed at the end of one of their arguments. They would stop yelling, pause, eyes glued together. It would last for a few seconds, then one of them would break away, saying something or just walking off in a huff. "I don't know if arguing on purpose would be a great idea...maybe I'll be lucky and he'll just manage to do something really nice instead."
She sat down and allowed Parvati to start working on her makeup. "Pinks and silvers? Sounds really pretty." All the weight on Hermione's shoulders lifted. This was already feeling like it could shape up to be a lot better than the Yule Ball.
