Dear Diary,
I got invited to the Burrow for the rest of the summer. Today's Saturday and I already started packing, even though I'm not leaving until Wednesday. I'm really excited to see everyone, but mostly Him ! GTG Mom's calling.
Hermione
Dear Diary,
Tuesday! Yes! I leave tomorrow, Mom and Dad are busy because it's dad's favorite time of year "braces season". The Weasly's are coming to pick me up at 2 o'clock. I decided that he will finally know how I feel. I just hope he feel the same way.
Hermione
When 2 o'clock rolled around the next day Hermione was so excited she was sure everyone within 10 miles of the house could hear her heart pounding. She had heard that the Weasly's had finally purchased a new car, with the bonus Arthur had gotten at the ministry, since Ron and Harry wrecked the old Ford Anglia and set it loose in the Forbidden Forest. That had been almost 5 years ago. Expecting to see a second hand car Hermione was surprised to see a shiny, new, green car pull into her drive way and exactly 2 o'clock. The door opened and Ron, Fred , George, and Mr.Weasly got out. Hermione saw them through the window and ran outside, completely forgetting her bags. She stopped dead in her tracks and ran back inside for them.
While she was inside Ron leaned over to Fred, who had been staring at Hermione with an open mouth, and said, "Hands off, she's mine." Hermione returned carrying what looked like enough stuff to last a year, instead of only a month.
When everyone arrived at the Burrow Molly, Ginny, and Percy all come outside to greet her. Their was a huge dinner prepared and considering there was an extra place setting, Harry was coming too. No sooner had she thought this than Harry fell out of the fireplace, covered in soot. Hermione ran and gave him a big hug. If Harry saw the dirty looks Ron and Fred were giving him, he pretended not to.
After dinner Ron was talking to Harry about how to tell Hermione how he felt about her. Fred was talking to George about the same thing.
The next day after breakfast Hermione was outside reading when Ron came up to her and told her he wanted to talk. Ron said, "Hermione our relationship as best friends has lasted for 7 years, never being anything more. But, now I want that relationship to be more, much more. I love you soo much, please say you feel the same way?" There was a long awkward pause when Hermione said, " Ron I'm so sorry, I love you more than you know, but not in the way. More like a brother." Ron walked away, face fallen, knowing things were never going to be the same again.
Hermione was crying because she had never meant to hurt him. Fred had been standing not 10 feet away and fortunately hadn't heard anything but Hermione's sobs. Fred swore under his breath, thinking that Ron had hurt her. He walked over to her and put his arms around her and just let her cry. After a while she stopped crying and Fred asked her what was wrong. "I broke Ron's heart." "What do you mean?" Hermione looked as if she was going o start crying again and said, "He told me that he loved me. I don't love him, not in that way." Fred told himself that this was not the right time to tell her that he loved her too. So he said, "don't worry about it, he'll get over it." "Thanks Fred for listening." Then she kissed him on the cheek and left. Fred pressed a hand to his cheek and stared ahead for the longest time. George sat down next to him, stared ahead for a moment, and said, "Remind me again what we're staring at."
2 days later
Hermione sat up in her room and though about all the ways to tell Fred how she felt, while Fred was doing the same. Ron hadn't spoken to her since "the incident" and that made her feel even worse. She heard footsteps on the stairs, obviously Ron's; she'd know that sound anywhere. When the door opened there, to her relief, stood Fred not Ron. Fred sat down next to her and said, "You might still be upset about Ron, but hear me out. Last summer when you came to the Burrow I realized you weren't just my little brother's best friend; you were a very wonderful and beautiful young woman. If you don't feel the same way I wont be as much of a bastard about it as Ron is. I love you Hermione and I think I always will." When at first Hermione didn't respond, Fred thought he was doomed. Then she walked over to him, wrapped her arms around his neck and whispered in his ear, "I love you too Fred Weasly." Then lovingly kissed him.
