Have you ever wondered what the story would be like if Harry and Hermione ended up together instead of her and Ron? I do at times and have decided to write a fanfiction about it. I realize that a lot of people have probably already written a fanfiction about them but I would love to try. I have my own ideas and I hope that you all enjoy them as much as I did writing them. Please excuse the bad grammar at times. I struggle with that but I am working at getting better at that and sentence structure. I am a Ron fan. Please do not get mad at me for writing Ron how I will write him. Please give this story a chance because it wont be the last time that Ron will be in this story. He will be in it a lot.

Here is some back story before we get to Hermione and Harry...

Hermione dated Ron after Hogwarts. They had a connection since the very first time they met that they just could not ignore. After sharing that steamy kiss in the Chamber Of Secrets when they went to retrieve the basilisk fang to destroy horcruxes with, they just could no longer deny their feelings for each other. But Ron was never the same after his brother Fred Weasley died. She thought that he could get past it with her help but he just got moodier and moodier. He took up drinking and later cheated on Hermione with two women that he worked with at the Ministry for Magic. But this story isn't about him, it is about Hermione discovering the connection she didn't realize she had with her best friend Harry Potter and how they ended up together after things went south with her and Ron. After finding out that he had cheated, Hermione tried to work things out with him. She knew that he hurt for the loss of Fred, and the drinking did not help either. She tried to get him to stop drinking. She came home early a couple nights a week to devote to trying to fix the unfixable. At least she could not fix him. Things got more strained between them as the time went on and fights broke out almost every day. Hermione did not want to end things. But one day when she thought for one minute that she had fixed things, she decided to surprise Ron by coming home early on a day that she normally worked later hours. She had even decided to cook him a romantic meal. She walked through the door with her bags of food and dropped them when she looked at the couch. Ron and another woman were locked in a heated embrace with their clothes all over the floor. " BLOODY HELL!" She screamed and stomped over to them. By then the woman was picking up her clothing and rushing off to the bathroom to change. Ron was trying hard to come up with an excuse but could not make the words come out. "Thats it! Ronald Weasley I have given you enough chances. You are not the man that I knew in school. You are not the person I fell in love with! I want to help you. I tried to help you. I took a lot of time off of work and took time off of school for you. I moved us to a muggle community thinking some distance might help you. I asked you to stop drinking and you promised me that you would because I am important to you. Clearly I am not if you are sleeping with everyone woman that would drop her drawers for you! I want you out by the time I come out of the kitchen in a half hour! Move back with your parents or find a hotel. Just get out of here!" Ron finally got his voice back. "Herm..." Hermione cut him off " Don't you start with me Ronald Weasley. Nothing you say will change my mind. Ron by now was dressed and touched her hand. "I love you. You know I do. You are the only one that would put up with me too." Hermione shook her head. " Your family loves you, and will gladly as you say it put up with you. You know I love you but I cannot keep putting my life on hold and especially for someone whom no longer appreciates it. Maybe you never did." Ron frowned and spoke "That is not true and you know it! You know I had a crush on you ever since I met you on the train to Hogwarts when we were children. I tried a stupid fake spell that my brother gave me to turn my rat yellow, and you never knew that I was trying to impress you..Even when you told me the spell wasn't good, and kept being the know it all that I pretended annoyed me but I found very endearing. My crush turned into love as we got to know each other and I always cared for, and appreciated you even when I screwed up and we had our fights. I never asked for you to take time off of school or cut back the hours of work at the muggle library that you love so much. I never asked you to move me from the wizarding world away from everything I knew. I know you wanted to help me heal. I know that. But sometimes being around family and other familiar settings can help even more." Hermione scoffed "We tried that remember? It did not work. For the record I do believe that you once appreciated me but you no longer do. It is clear because of your constant fooling around." Ron scratched his head and looked her straight in the eyes with a soft voice "I can't lose you forever. I just can't. You are one of my best friends. We have known each other forever. Please Hermione. Do. not. cut. me. out!" Hermione by now was crying "Ronald I value our friendship but even that is strained. Maybe one day we can try being friends again but I naturally need time and so do you to heal. I need time to get over you and move on with my life. Call Harry. Visit. Please if you love me even just a little bit, please leave...Let me go." Ron walked into their bedroom. Fifteen minutes later he walked out with a suitcase. He broke the rule of bothering Hermione while she was in the kitchen to give her one last kiss. She was crying so it was a salty kiss. Ron hated himself for hurting her. He had his own problems and they were affecting her. They were just not meant to be as a couple. But he hoped one day to have his friend back. He knew then that he would always love her. He left the apartment and stepped outside. He sent an owl to his mother to let her know he would be arriving soon by floo powder. He crossed the street only looking back once.

Hermione spent the rest of the evening cleaning and crying..

Which brings us to present day. It is a year after the break up and Hermione hasn't spoken to Ron since. She did hear from Harry whom heard from an acquaintance that Ron is doing fine and living at home with his parents. He even got help and quit drinking. He got a promotion at work and though he has been on a few dates, he currently is not seeing anyone. Hermione had been seeing Harry Potter for 6 months and the relationship was moving quickly. They realized that they had feelings for each other after both being invited to their mutual friend Luna Lovegood's wedding. That is where they reconnected after losing touch due to their busy lives. They bonded for hours. Since that day, they were practically inseparable.

Hermione still lives in the muggle world and Harry Potter and her sit on the couch pretending to watch television but continuously getting distracted by each other. Harry did not live with Hermione but visited her more and more with each day. She wanted to ask him to move in but got very shy each time an opportunity came up to ask. She was scared that it would ruin the good thing that they currently had going on.

A very short back story on Harry...

He dated Ron's younger sister Ginny Weasley but they ended it after Ginny fell in love with their long time friend Neville Longbottom. But unlike with Ron and Hermione, Ginny and Neville remain friends with Harry. They never cheated. They were honest with Harry from the start. Sure he was hurt, and she was hurt for hurting him and having feelings for another man. But over time they did heal and move on. Which brings us back to Harry and Hermione...

'It is now or never Hermione!' She thought as she braced herself to ask Harry to move in..."Harry...can we talk?" Harry paled and moved his arms which were wrapped around her and sat up straight and stiff . "Did I do something? Can we talk. Or we need to talk usually does not mean anything good."

Hermione smiled easing the tension. "No Harry I just want to ask you if...She took a deep breath..Would you..I'm wondering if you would like to move in with me?" She blushed looking down to avoid his face. Harry gently lifted her chin up and was grinning. "I thought that you would never ask!" Harry was noticeably excited now. He kissed her deeply and wrapped his arms around her again. "I take that as a yes?" Hermione giggled flushing from that passionate kiss. "Of course it's a yes!" He grinned and kissed her again. She pulled herself closer happier than she had been in a long time deepening the kiss. She looked at him with a mischievous look on her face. He picked her up and together they both went to her room which was now their room. She kept kissing him as he laid her down on the bed unbuttoning her blouse..."I love you Harry..."

The next morning Hermione stepped out of their room wearing Harry's shirt to grab a glass of water for the both of them. She practically skipped the whole way to the kitchen with a smile that seemed glued to her face. She walked back to the room. Harry smile at her. " Hello beautiful." He took the glasses of water from her and put them on the nightstand. He then pulled her on top of him holding her closely and kissed her deeply. "Did you sleep well?" He asked her knowing full well that neither of them slept very much at all, and neither of them were complaining one bit. Hermione laughed and kissed him again. "I wish we could stay in bed all day...but we both have jobs.. Lets go out tonight to celebrate you moving in." Harry brushed a strand of her hair back softly placing the strand behind her ear and kissed her again. "That sounds like a great idea. I love you Hermione." She kissed him back. "Then it is a date. I can hardly wait. I wish I could speed up time.." "Maybe if I..." Harry laughed. "I am excited too, and I know that you can fast forward time but I wouldn't mess with that. It is dangerous. Anyways..the time will be here before we both realize." Hermione sighed "I know...I just cannot wait to be with you again and call this home our home." Hermione no longer lived in the same apartment that she had with Ron. She rented the upstairs part of a house in a different neighborhood and she loved it more than the old home. Hermione gave him a quick kiss, and stood up pulling him up too. Common lets go have a shower. We both need to get ready for the day and it would be eas...Harry cut her off by lifting her up and kissing her. He carried her to the bathroom and with one hand turned on the shower...

Until next time. How will Ron react to Harry dating his ex girlfriend? How will living together affect Harry and Hermione's relationship? Will it be good for them or not? There is a lot in store for them with their relationship, jobs and new threats bigger than an ex possibly being hurt with the new relationship. More will come your way soon. I hope that you enjoyed.
