Best friends aren't supposed fall in love with each other. That's the rule. Because when best friends fall in love with each other, bad things happen. But then, why is it that every time I see him my heart starts beating 10 times faster then it's supposed to? Why is it that whenever he smiles at me I feel like I'm about to melt? Why is it that every time he's near me, my face feels like it's on fire? Why is it that every time he insults me, even if he's just joking, a little part of me dies? It's because I, Hermione Jean Granger, the well-known Gryffindor book-worm know-it-all has broken the number one rule: I fell in love with my best friend Ron Wesley.

It's not like I meant to fall in love with him! Oh no! No one ever decides to fall in love! If it was up too me I would have stayed his busy-haired best friend, but of course the heart wants what the heart wants. And just like that, I fell in love. I'm not really sure when It happened. I think that a part of me has always sort of liked him, that's why in first year I would get so offended when he made fun of me, but I think I started realizing my feelings sometime in third year. Of course by fourth year i was absolutely positive about my little crush. But that was all it seemed to be. A crush. But then why did I get so upset when he didn't ask me to the Yule Ball? Well I guess that answer is quite simple now that I think about it. I was really starting to fall for him. Hard. But I still didn't know it. Then in sixth year he had to go and break my heart by snogging Lavender Brown. I was devastated! But I really don't like the think about that much.

When did I start realizing that he had feeling for me too? Well I'd say that was at Bill and Fleur's wedding. There was NO WAY that he still didn't like Viktor just because he was "Harry's competition". I guess that even though I knew he liked me, I wasn't one hundred percent sure yet. And I definatly wasn't about to go admitting my feelings for him just before we were about to leave for the hunt with Harry. That would have made things waaaaaaay too awkward!

Many people (Harry specifically) always ask me what came over me when I kissed Ron in the middle of the battle. And the truth is; I have no idea. It wasn't planned, but i just felt so much love towards him in that moment that I knew if I didn't kiss hi, right then and there I would have exploded. So I did it. Simple as that.

Now as I watch from the doorway, as Ron is snuggled up in bed with Rose on one side and Hugo on the other, I can't help thinking that maybe breaking the rules isn't always so bad.

THE END

****** I usually don't write fics about feelings and stuff but this time I did and I think it turned out pretty well :D Hope you liked it! Reviews are appreciated!
