Disclaimer-Just to let you know, I do NOT own Harry Potter. I didn't help with the creation of it or anything. Ok? Ok. ) (Though…Wish I did…I could've made big bucks. XX)

Author's Note-In MY 7th year, Harry has already defeated Voldemort, Dumbledore didn't die, Malfoy has returned to Hogwarts, because Malfoy really didn't mean it, and Harry has destroyed all the Horcruxes. Now Harry has returned to Hogwarts. WHAT a happy world.

-Present-

All that horror... I can't take it any longer…Hermione thought as she sat in the chair in the Gryffindor common room. Why can't I do anything right? Hermione's tears that she had tried hard to hold back became a continuing flow streaking down her face.

-Flashback to the beginning-

It was the last few days before Christmas break and the students didn't have any classes for the holidays. Free time!

"Hey Hermione!" Harry flashed a grin despite his nervousness. Lately, he had been feeling butterflies in his stomach whenever he saw Hermione. He knew what meant. He fancied Hermione, with all his heart. He just didn't know if she felt the same.

"You asked me to come to the library, so I'm here. Is something wrong?" he asked cautiously, for he saw Hermione's face looking red and with puffy eyes. He immediately felt pity for her.

"Oh my, I'm so sorry Harry, that you had to see me like this," Hermione said, while trying quickly to dry her eyes with what looked like an already soggy tissue. "I'm just…not really myself right now."

"Oh, it's ok! Really! I mean, look at me; I'm wearing muddy Quidditch robes. It's not exactly library appropriate. But anyways…I must ask...what was the point of this meeting?"

"Oh um…well…I wanted to ask you…what do you think of Ron? I mean…I know it's our seventh year in Hogwarts and all…and we fight a lot and don't always cooperate…but, I mean…well-"

"Do I think Ron will fancy you and you two might have a chance of being together?"

"Yes! Thank you Harry! You know me so well!" Hermione smiled. "So, what do you think?"

That question broke Harry's heart. Why does she fancy Ron? Does she feel absolutely nothing for me? Are we just good friends? Harry sighed. He couldn't bring himself to lie to Hermione, no matter how much he fancied her.

"Yes, I do think you two have a chance together. But…what does that have to do with your crying?"

"Oh…that…well…my bunny died." Harry almost burst out laughing, but he bit his tongue to stop it from happening.

"I didn't know you had a bunny," Harry said innocently. Hermione jokingly glared at him. She had seen his face turn red and puff up holding his laugh in.

"I do…or I did have a bunny. I just never talked about her much."

"I noticed," Harry grinned. "Well, I have to go now. It's quite difficult in the seventh year with all this homework. At least there are no more potions! See you tomorrow-no wait, later? Since it's around 12:00 AM right now."

"Definitely, I'll go see Ron and maybe the next time you see me, Ron and I will be holding hands or something." Hermione smiled.

Darn. Just when I was cheering up. Harry thought.

They waved goodbye to each other as they went in their own direction.

Hermione

Oh my lord. Harry thinks I could actually be able to Ron's girlfriend! How wonderful! He looked so said when he said it though…I wonder why. Oh well. I have something else to worry about. Oh Ron! There he is…He's sleeping. Grrrr.

"Ron?" I said softly. He didn't hear me. I was in the common room staring at Ron's peaceful sleeping face.

He's so handsome!I squealed loudly out of my excitement. That woke him up.

"W-wuh? What's happening? Oh hi Hermione! What's up?" Ron said lazily, rubbing the sleep grains out of his eyes. He scooted off toward one side of the couch so I could sit next to him, so I did.

"Thanks. Um…Well, I just wanted to talk to you about something…"

"Yeah? Like what?" There was tension in his voice.

"Well…what do you think about our friendship?"

"I think it's…ok." Ron said, blushing. I bet he knew where this was going, and I don't think he minded at all.

"Ok? That's all?"

"Well...I dunno...Do you have any ideas on how to make our relationship thing become better?"

"Yes…I think I do. This." I pressed my lips against Ron's and we had shared a deep and meaningful kiss. After a few long moments, we unfortunately finally had to separate to breathe.

"Wow…Yeah that definitely made it better!" Ron grinned. "Now I have a question for you…"

"Yes Ron?"

"Will you be my girlfriend? I know it sounds pretty pathetic, but I dunno how else to put it." He took my hand and said, "I know I'm not perfect, but…Hopefully…its good enough." He smiled and leaned in closely, and stopped, seeing that I haven't moved.

I wrapped my arms around Ron's neck and he wrapped his arms around my waist and I kissed Ron passionately once again. Ron took that as a yes.
