20th December
"I had this interesting thought one dayOf two best friends sharing a kiss under the moonlight
A shadowy obscuration, on their faces it lay
It was that which kept their features out of sight
An innocent kiss was it all it had seemed
For they pulled apart quickly like night from day
Embarrassed were they but with glee they beamed
It looked as if nothing could keep them at bay
It was then I noticed that the girl had bushy hair
It was strange and I attempted to lift the haze
It started to fade, allowing me to see the pair
I gasped as I recognized that pale, brown-eyed face
It was my own as I dreamt about the one I loved
I then looked at him, his face tired and worn
My eyes widened as over his visage they roved
He was my best friend, He was Ron."
Yes Sally, I really had this daydream. There I was sitting in Potions class when suddenly I couldn't hear what Professor Slughorn was saying anymore. It really was interesting; something about creating a potion that would place one in a dreamy state. When I snapped out of it in the end, I thought that I may have accidentally consumed some but I had not even touched anything! I started thinking about my daydream then. Ron! Can you believe it? RON! Like R-O-N! My best friend! What's happening to me! I can't think about my best friend in that manner! Can I? I always had this little suspicion that what I felt for Ron far transcended friendship but I used to push it to the back of my mind. But why now? Why now when six years has passed? Why do I realize it now that I love Ron? Love. Do I love Ron? I really don't know what to do, Sally. I was too shocked after that. I came up with this excuse about not feeling well and I knew that Professor Slughorn would allow me to leave the classroom. I have avoided them both today for I know that Ron will be with Harry and I really can't face him now. Not when I have undergone this tremendous revelation. Oh no! I haven't even completed the DADA assignment! Bye Sally!
With that, Hermione closed her diary, the one she named Sally. It was silly actually, naming a diary. It was even silly keeping a diary, Hermione had thought at first but after trying it out, she found that she actually enjoyed it. It was platform where she could pour out all her troubles and Ron's transgressions. Nope, never Harry's. Only Ron's and then she started to wonder why that was. Harry was her best friend too. So why did she keep a record of only Ron's wrongdoings which typically consisted of 'Ron skipped homework again' and 'Ron spoke against Professor Snape and got house points taken'. Harry spoke out against Professor Snape too. With a sigh, Hermione, picked up her DADA assignment and stared at it. Finally, she got agitated with her entry and tore it out. She crushed it into a ball and threw it over the side of her bed. Feeling as if she could only concentrate in the common room, she gathered her books and walked out of the dorm. If only she had seen Parvati Patil coming in earlier, she would have noticed that Parvati saw her tearing that page.
If only she hadn't left the room in haste, she would have noticed that Parvati had picked up that piece of paper and read it. If only she had decided to stay, she would have noticed the wide smile and a glint of mischievousness in Parvati's eyes. If only…
Hey all, this is my first time writing a Hermione/Ron fic.. yes I so love the pairing. I think they look and sound (in the storybooks) cute together. I was thinking about making the next chapter on Ron's thoughts in his diary but then he doesn't look like who would keep a diary. Hmm... anyway, if you guys have any ideas please tell me. And oh pls pls pls review k... As for the date, I don't really know about overseas school days so I tried to play it safe. If school closes around the time, please do let me know cos in Singapore we have holidays in December. Anyway, once again pls review. Thanks:D
