This is a short little story of how Ron sees Hermione in various moments in his life. (one for each year, and one more at the end) Hopefully the next chapter to Rescuing will be out soon, there are just some things I need to fix. Anyways, enjoy!

There's this girl. Her name's Hermione.

And she's driving me insane. She cares only about her studies and hates everyone who doesn't. She's such a perfectionist and makes everyone feel terrible. She has no friends.

No surprise.

There's this girl. Her name's Hermione.

And she's become a great friend. She is so smart and determined. And her petrification makes me feel empty, in a strange way. She has two great friends.

She deserves them.

There's this girl. Her name's Hermione.

And she just punched Malfoy in the face. She stands up for herself and others, and is braver than I ever imagined. She has many enemies.

They better watch out.

There's this girl. Her name's Hermione.

And she's dancing with Victor Krum. She is so beautiful. And every step she takes makes my heart pound faster. She is the best person in the whole world.

I wish I asked her sooner.

There's this girl. Her name's Hermione.

And she's flying by my side. We're off with Harry to fight. I wish she didn't have to come, that I could know she was safe. But she is determined and brave.

I wouldn't want her any other way.

There's this girl. Her name's Hermione.

She's still in the hospital wing, with me. I wonder why I was so mean. But none of that matters as she holds my hand, and I feel the warmth of her heart.

Maybe, she likes me.

There's this girl. Her name's Hermione.

And I've left her, out of jealously and fear. But I won't be that coward again. And I search these woods knowing now what she means to me. Because I will and must be brave, strong and true.

For her.

There's this girl. Her name's Hermione.

And as we walk, side by side, my heart is pounding out of my chest. The small ring tucked away brings fear of rejection to my mind. But I have to do this. I drop to one knee and let the words come out.

"Hermione, will you marry me?"

Thanks for reading! Please review, it means so much to me.
