####2 WEEKS BEFORE####

"Hermione, I'm sorry, I do love you, but just as a friend." Harry said desperately seeing the tears well up in her eyes. "Please understand, I'm doing this to be fair to the both of us, It would not be fair to you if we kept seeing each other as a couple if you love me and I'm not in love with you."

"Please Harry, I love you, I have for awhile, the way you feel about me has nothing to do with it! You leaving me won't change that." Hermione Pleaded, no longer holding her tears but letting them flow freely.

"I'm sorry 'Mione." and with that, he left her there, in the cold astronomy tower.

Soon, her tears had ceased, and that horrible pain within her had disappeared. A face appeared in her head, friendly and covered with red hair, Ron. Wasn't he the reason she had started dating Harry in the first place? To play off his jealousy like she had with Krum? But she had never loved Krum, she had made the mistake of starting to love Harry, as well as Ron, he just kinda got pushed back in her mind for awhile. She fell asleep in the tower that night, bravely facing Harry the next morning at breakfast, but not saying a word.

####END FLASHBACK####

Hermione was crying when he found her.

" 'Mione? What's wrong?" Ron asked taking her into his comforting embrace.

"Nothing-nothing at all." she lied. 'just reliving the night Harry dumped me' she thought sadly before breaking into another fit of tears.

"Then what are the tears for?"

"nothing"

"So why cry over it?" He cupped her cheek in his hand and looked deeply into her eyes. " 'Mione, you're too special to get all worked up over him, and yes I know you've been crying over Harry, you always are. But why? He's the one who lost, not you, and besides, he's not good enough for you."

"Why do you say that?"

"because he did not treat you as well as he should have."

"Thanks Ron." She replied before burying herself in the warmth of his embrace again. It felt nice, and right somehow, but this was Ron, he'd never be interested, so why bother.

I've waited all this time
Counting minutes as they pass
Searching for a sign
Wishing for the best
And just when my hopes were wearing thin
You turned my heart to love again

'why bother? Bother because you still like him!'

"Ron?"

"Yes?"

"I love you"

"I love you too"

"no, I mean I'm in love with you, I always have been, you've always shown me nothing but kindness (save that one time in 1st year) and I want to be more than just your friend."

"Hermione?"

"yes?"

"I love you too."

With that, he gently kissed her forehead as they continued to hug, neither one of them wanted to part.

Like a miracle out of the blue
You rescued me like the angels do
You shook the heavens and cracked the sky
When you walked
When you walked into my life

The next day, Hermione felt as if some darkness had passed over and away from her. She no longer cried herself to sleep and instead of dwelling on her past, she focused on her present, on Ron. They had started dating after that night, since then, he worries and concerns seemed littler, less important. She was happy for the first time in ages.

When you appeared like sight to the blind
Like music to my ears
Like reason to a rhyme
And just when I thought my chance was gone
Love came to me with open arms

Like a miracle out of the blue
You rescued me like the angels do
You shook the heavens and cracked the sky
When you walked
When you walked into my life

You spoke my name and the world began again
You touched my heart and it opened

Like a miracle out of the blue
You rescued me like the angels do
You shook the heavens and cracked the sky
When you walked
When you walked into my life
