A/N: I DO NOT OWN HARRY POTTER
I got this idea from A very Potter Musical. The song 'Granger Danger'. I hope you like it. please R&R
I was walking down a cold dungeon corridor, in the middle of the night, thinking. Why did it have to be her? Why couldn't it be Parkinson, or one of the Greengrass sisters? Why did it have to be Granger?
Even when I was trying to find a way to deny my feelings, I was on my way to meet her. It was about four months after the final battle that we had gotten over our petty rivalries, and started our relationship. In secret, of course. Neither of us know how it happened, but, we think it might be all those times in the library, doing homework together when nobody was around.
Before I knew it, I was at the Room of Requirement. I knocked three times to let her know it was me. When she opened the door to let me in, my breath caught. How she managed to look absolutely breathtaking in just a simple t-shirt and jeans is still a mystery to me. A long time ago, I probably wouldn't have looked at her in any other way besides hate and disgust. But then, I was a spoiled brat. Now, I have to restrain myself from looking at her at all in public, lest I give away my feelings.
These moments with Hermione, in the Room of Requirement, were what I looked forward too. Reading in front of the fire with her curled up at my side. That's when I realized it. I'm falling in love, falling in love, with Hermione Granger. At least, I think I am.
That's when she said them. Those three words. The three words that made my stomach go in knots. This is the first time she said them, and it scared me. She said them, while looking into my eyes, with her chocolate brown ones, that held so much emotion. She looked at me and said, "I love you."
I was shocked into silence. Never, I my life, had anyone ever said those words to me. Not my mother, not my father, nobody. It made me feel so happy when she did, but she took my silence as a bad thing. Tears filled her brown eyes and she said, " Oh, I'm so sorry. I shouldn't have said that." She started to get up. I stopped her and said," No, don't go." She looked at me, her eyes pleading. " I want to say that I love you. I really do. But I have never been loved, or loved anyone else. All I know is that every time I see you, I feel happy. Every time I see you smile I never want you to stop. And every time I see you cry, I feel like crying too. So if you can teach me how to love, then I will be able to say it back. But until then, I just cant live without you. So please don't cry. Stay with me." The next thing I know, she's in my arms, and we sit there, staring at the fire, until we had to go back to our dorms.
The next day, after Potions, I found a note in my textbook. It read:
Meet me in the Room of Requirement,
tonight for your first lesson
love, H.
It was then that I knew I could learn to love her. And until then, those little meetings would be enough.
So, for once, I was walking down a cold dungeon corridor, thinking not about why it was her, but being thankful it was her. For I wouldn't be happy with anybody else.
