Waiting to Catch You by FloatingBallofLight
Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter. Even if I did, do you honestly think I'd be on if I was? Daft dimpo.
A/N: I've had enough of writing Deathly Hallows for now. I figured I'd go back to 4th year, since that IS when love started to overrule hate in their relationship. I also have gotten into Ginny/Hermione stories. Not like that, you sick people, friendship stories. I don't think their friendship is stated well enough in the movies, or even the books really. I think that they relied on each other more than was let on in the series…..yeah. On with the story!

Dear Diary, September 12
Complete and utter dolt.
That's what I am.
Really, I seem to contradict myself.
If I were to walk straight up to Ron, I don't know what I would say.
And I always know what I would say.
Maybe it'd be something along the lines of: "I hate you and then I love you. It's like I want to throw you off a cliff, then rush to the bottom to catch you."
Or maybe I'd bother him about homework and remind him that we've got to work on that Forget-Me-Not Potion.
As you can see, we're right back to dolt again, aren't we?
Honestly, Hermione, you're diary is truly off-putting. It's not exciting in the least bit. You spend every page explaining your new dilemma with my git of a brother. Put something in here worthwhile, like how Harry actually saved my life two years ago! Isn't he something? Oh, he truly is remarkable.
Ginny! It is NOT off-putting! It's full of useful information! What if I forget all of this and end up married to Ron? Then what'll I do?
Hermione. You're not going to forget it and you're not going to marry my brother because that's just sickening. Who would want to marry that pig?
Maybe I want to.
Oh, come on. You're such a sappy, hopeless romantic.
Yes, my wanting to marry Ron is sappy and hopeless compared to 'He saved my life! He's so remarkable!' Swoon, sigh, cough.
Oh, hush up, you. It's not that bad.
Ginny, he hardly knows you exist. It's bad.
hahahahaHA!
Oh! Ginevra Molly Weasley! How DARE you spit in my HAIR! You're such a boy!
Hermione Jean Granger! See, I know your full name, too! And how DARE you say it's bad. Harry likes me well enough. We're good friends. And I am NOT a boy! Have you seen the hooligans I grew up with? Now those…things are boys!
Anyways, let's get back on the topic of Ron. He's really very sweet when he wants to be. And he's smart when he applies himself. He's got a lot to offer the world, you know?
No. But I'm sure you'll tell me.
But then he's a complete fool and barking and everything else. I just don't know what to do.
Kiss him.
Do WHAT, excuse me?
Kiss him. Then you'll know if you love him or hate him.
Ginny, you do not kiss a boy to FIND OUT if you love him; you kiss him BECAUSE you love him.
Either way.
Well, golly, thanks for all the input 'Dear Debbie'!
You're welcome! Anytime.
Ugh. I do believe I'll be going to bed now.
Dear Diary, January 1
This is a message to Ron:
I WILL be waiting to catch you at the bottom of that cliff, after all.
That is, if you decide to fall.
But just in case,
I'm not going to push you off.
What I failed to mention in the A/N is that this is Hermione's diary! Regular text is Hermione and Italics are Ginny. They are having a sleepover, if you will. Pay attention to the entry dates! One's at the beginning of term and one's right after the Yule Ball. You know the drill! Review, please!
