Ron left.
How can you forgive that? How can you FORGET that?
*she bites her lip*
...I mean, logically, I can understand why someone would leave..
No. No, actually you can't. *she puts her hands on her hips*Leaving isn't productive. Leaving doesn't help anyone. Leaving is giving up and giving up is NOT an option.
I think.. I think with time I could forgive him.
*she tilts her head*And forget?
*she hesitates before shaking her head*
...No. I'll never forget that he left. I'll always be waiting for him to leave again. I'll never trust that he will stay when it gets hard…
*she sighs*
Trust....You can't love without trust.
*she scrunches her nose*
Does that mean I can't love him?
Because I do love him…
But not the same as before he left.
*she shakes her head*
No, not the same. Not as fully.. not with all of my heart.
*she nods in understanding*Not like you do Harry. Harry would never leave. Harry would die for you. Would die for anyone, really.
And I would die for Harry.
You trust Harry with all of your heart… You love Harry with all of your heart.
*she bites her lip again*
...Like a brother.
*she raises an eyebrow*
...Well like a brother that you wouldn't mind snogging...... so not really like a brother.
*she scrunches nose*
... Like a friend?
*she shakes her head*No. You don't want to snog Ginny or Luna.
Those are bad examples..
*she rolls her eyes*...Fine. You don't want to snog Neville.
Well I did once..
*she scoffs*That was different! He just successfully brewed a forgetfulness draught. That was an 'I'm so proud of you' kiss.
*she nods*
Yeah.. that was more like a pat on the back or a high five. Not a passionate snog.
*she quirks an eyebrow*Kissing Harry would definitely be passionate....Slow and deep and burning right through your soul..
*she bites her lip to hide a fond smile then her eyebrows shoot up*
Oh god I love Harry!
Okay.. okay.. so I love him..
*she smirks*And you want to snog him..
*she purses her lips*
But that could change...In time…
*nods decisively*
Yes. In time I could get over it.
It's like a crush.
I mean look how quickly I fell out of love with Ron.
*she quirks an eyebrow*Except Harry would never do something to cause you to fall out of love like Ron did.
*she sighs*
...That's true, he wouldn't.. but he loves Ginny.
And Ginny loves him.
Ha! Ginny loves The Boy Who Lived, not Harry.
*she scrunches her nose*
That's not true.. I mean..
She just hasn't gotten to know the real Harry yet.. I'm sure she'll love the real him too..
*she snorts*Eventually.
Besides, Ginny makes Harry happy and we - I mean I - love Harry enough to want him to be happy.
*she quirks an eyebrow again*Even if that means no snogging?
*she nods decisively*
Right.
*she scrunches her nose*
...Right?
*she sighs then nods*...Right.
HARRY'S POV
What the hell is going on in Hermione's head?!
She looks like a crazy person.No she's just thinking really hard.
