Song: I Love You by Avril Lavigne
Disclaimer: J.K. Rowling is still queen over all characters; all I'm queen over is my plot… if you can even call it that :)
I love the way you look in the morning; your hair in a messy ponytail, wearing sweats and a t-shirt. The way you're so relaxed and yet you love to get up early. How the very first thing you do is make yourself a cup of tea.
But that's not why I love you.
I love the look on your face when you're concentrated; you nibble on the end of your quill and write like mad. Nothing can stop your train of thought; not even a hurricane.
But that's not why I love you.
I love the way you never give up on your goals and you don't believe the lies anyone says about you; or at least, you pretend not to. I love how you're such a strong woman, yet you are probably also the most caring and kind person I'll ever meet.
But that's not why I love you.
I love the look of satisfaction on your face when you feel proud of what you've accomplished. I love how you work your butt off day and night, but always make time for family.
But that's not why I love you.
I love it when your face glows with pure joy when something makes you feel happy or special; like when Rose and Hugo were born, when I first bought you a bouquet of flowers, or when you won the "best worker" award at the Ministry.
But that's not why I love you.
I love the way you dance when you think no one's watching, and the way you blush when you notice you have an audience. I love how you let the little things in life surprise you and treasure them just as any big event.
But that's not why I love you.
I love how you stand up to me and tell me exactly what you think, how you are brutally honest. I love how you love me yet don't treat me like a god – everyone is equal to you.
But that's not why I love you.
None of those are reasons why I love you, Hermione Weasley. They are all the reasons why I love you. I love every little quirk and trait about you – everything that makes you, you. But most importantly, I love you because out of all the amazing men in the world, you chose me – Ronald Weasley. You could have had Viktor Krum – heck, you could have had Harry Potter if you wanted, but you chose me, a nobody who was always second best. Until you came along.
That's why I love you.
A/N: There you have it. I have finished another one-shot. Please review and let me know what you think!
