Chapter 1
"Come on Hermione!" Ginny yelled, while waiting impatiently. She sighed loudly. The girls were getting ready to go down to breakfast in the Great Hall, but Hermione just had to put away her books from studying in the common room earlier that morning.
"Let's go! I'm hungry! We told Harry and RON that we'd meet them down there 10 minutes ago!" Ginny had said Ron's name louder to try and get her friend to speak to her. When she heard no response, she stamped her foot on the ground and sighed loudly once again, "Come down here! I am starrrvvvving!"
"Oh Ginny, I'm afraid that to tell you that you are beginning to sound like your brother," Hermione joked with her as she ran down the stairs and into the common room, grabbing Ginny's arm, and yanking her to go eat.
"What took you so long?" Ginny questioned her as they started down one of the numerous sets of staircases in Hogwarts.
"Well…er…" Hermione bit her lip nervously, "I'm sorry! I didn't mean to take that long! I was just trying to finish my potions essay! It was bugging me and I couldn't just leave it sitting there untouched!" Hermione confessed, feeling slightly guilty about leaving Ginny to wait, but relieved that she was finished with her paper.
"You'd better hope that your 'Boy Toy' won't be mad that we took forever," Ginny spoke as a smirk rose on her mouth, "Although, I doubt he would've waited for us…"
Hermione felt her faces beginning to burn, "Don't call Ron my 'Boy Toy'. We are simply…friends. Great friends. Best friends! There's nothing more between us. That's all we'll ever be. I mean, we don't even like-"
"Shut it, Herms," Ginny cut in continuing to sneer at her, "You like him and you know it! You two are seriously perfect for each other! You're both too blind to realize it! I can't wait for the day when you two finally release your feelings for each other."
Once again, Hermione felt a heated sensation coming from her cheeks as her best girlfriend rambled on about how she and Ron would eventually get together.
Hermione couldn't wait for that day either, but she didn't tell Ginny that. It was true that she had liked Ron, but she couldn't just tell him this. If she had told him that she was falling for him and he didn't feel the same way, nothing would be normal anymore. She would just be walking around with a shattered heart.
Hermione began to think about all the times they fought and she had almost lost Ron. Sure, they always ended screaming at each other about nonsense, but they always returned back to their normal habits, except Ron would be especially nice and kind to her.
He would always apologize and then wrap her in a hug, asking for her to forgive him. Sometimes, she wouldn't answer right away. She would squeeze him tighter, cherish the moment, and think about how she wished this could happen everyday…
How Hermione longed for a hug everyday from Ron. She wanted nothing more to be safe in his arms as he hugged her tightly…well she could deal with a kiss or two also, but it wasn't a deal-breaker. She just wanted him all to herself.
Hermione smiled as she thought about Ron liked she always. She couldn't help it! When she had thought about these things towards him, she was a bit frightened by it. Then, as the thoughts became permanently stuck in her brain, she found out something very important about herself…
She had fallen in with her best friend.
When Hermione first thought this in the middle of her fifth year at Hogwarts, she was completely in denial. She knew Ron was her best friend and she could not fall in love with someone that close to her. The more she denied her feelings for him, he always gave her another reason to fall deeper in love with him.
Soon, Hermione gave up on what she had thought to be completely wrong and accepted the fact that she was indeed falling in love with Ronald Weasley.
Her thoughts were interrupted by a painful jab to her ribs from Ginny.
"Are you alright Herms? You looked like you were off into stars…or whatever the term is."
"It's staring off into space, Gin. And yes I'm alright," she answered as they walked into the Great Hall. Hermione quickly scanned over the Gryffindor table to find a certain red head-Aha! She found him stuffing bacon into his mouth and smiled.
"He really is disgusting. I don't know what you see in my brother," Ginny murmured to Hermione, who once again found her cheeks quite warm, "Oh! Pancakes!" they walked over to the table and sat down in front of their friends.
"Hello Ginny! Hermione! What took you so long?" Harry asked them as they both reached for the pancakes. He noticed the girls glanced at each other and when they looked back at Harry, Ginny had looked mischievously and Hermione was blushing deeply.
"Well, you see Hermione was confessing her feelings for a boy and-" Ginny started.
"No I wasn't! I was finishing the potions essay!" Hermione defended herself.
"But you were thinking about him when you were staring off into space!" Hermione blushed at this, "See! She was! So basically homework and girl talk was why we were so late, Potter." Ginny said as she picked up her pancake.
Harry was taken back by Ginny calling him Potter. He smiled at her and said, "Thanks Weasley, but I didn't really need to know about that."
Hearing the name Weasley, Ron popped his head up from his food and jumped back slightly when he saw the two girls sitting there.
"Oh! Hey 'Mione!" Ron said in a bright tone as he gave her his famous grins. She blushed again and smiled back. He was the only one who called her 'Mione and 'Mi and she loved that. It was like his own little nickname for her.
"Hey Ron," she laughed as he stuffed some toast into his mouth, "Do you ever stop eating?" He thought about this for a second, and then shook his head smiling at her.
Hermione felt her body beginning to go limp from the handsome sight in front of her and she quickly turned to listen to Harry and Ginny's conversation.
"I can't wait for Christmas!" Ginny squeaked, "You two are coming right?" she indicated towards Harry and Hermione.
"Yes!" Harry said excitedly.
"Well, of course!" Hermione said as Ginny grinned at them both.
"Good! This will be the best Christmas ever! We'll have to show you guys the pond at this time of the year! It gets so thick that we can ice skate on it! That will be a blast! We can also sled down the hill and…" Ginny rambled on more, but Hermione pulled away to look at Ron's reaction to her staying at his house.
When she had sat down, he was looking a bit overwhelmed, like he had something hanging over him, but when they had started talking he just kept looking over at her. He seemed a bit better, but still a bit nervous about something.
Hermione stared at his facial expression, but when she looked into his eyes, he quickly glanced away as if he had already been staring at hers, then looked again at Hermione and placed a stupid grin on his face. She tried to be nonchalant about her looking at him by returning a smile and brought up a hand up to her chin and leaned back into the Christmas conversation.
"…and we'll bake cookies with Mum and decorate the tree and-" Ginny continued
"I think they get it Gin!" Ron said loudly to overpower her rambling on, "Christmas will be loads of fun! But first we have to finish the last day before break. Have either of you noticed that we have Double Potions and History of Magic? The worst classes in the world! I don't think I'll survive through today…" Ron ended dramatically.
"Just take some bacon and pumpkin juice with you to cheer you up mate," Harry said patting his shoulder.
"Or just think about Hermione all day," Ginny muttered so only Harry could hear her comment. They both looked at each other and cracked up with laughter, leaving Ron and Hermione clueless about her joke.
Ron glanced nervously over at Hermione who was also glancing at him. Quickly, they looked away and Hermione packed up her things.
"Where-are-you-going?" Ginny asked in between her giggle fits as she also panted for a breath.
"I'm going…er…to Potions! I don't want Snape to get mad because I was late over Miss Giggles and Mr. Roaring with Laughter." Hermione said as she stood up and left the Great Hall, with Ginny and Harry almost falling out of their seats laughing.
Ron knew that Hermione was lying because History of Magic was before Potions. She probably left because of whatever the hell Harry and his sister were laughing at. He swore in his mind that after he found Hermione he would yell at them for making her leave. Luckily, knowing Hermione quite well, Ron knew exactly where she would be at.
Passing many tables and shelves of books, Ron found Hermione at her favourite table in the library, reading a big worn book. He hid behind one of the shelves that was close to Hermione, so she wouldn't catch him staring at her.
Almost everyone Ron knew would say that Hermione was pretty. To him, he would have to agree, but he wouldn't stop at pretty. He thought she was beautiful. He often found himself lost in her deep brown eyes and wanting to run his fingers through her bushy, frizzy, gorgeous, brown hair.
He loved the face she made face she made when she read a book or was concentrating on something. She looked flustered, but in a cute way. Her expression was soft and beautiful and it made him want to get close to her. Then, whenever he did get closer, she would become more relaxed yet a bit nervous.
Ron liked the relaxed Hermione. She was calm and enjoyable to be around, even if she said witty and clever comebacks to something that he had said.
Yes, it was true that they fought a lot, but that was just Ron's excuse to get much closer to Hermione without her noticing it. He hated making her mad or making her cry, but he can' help it! It was so easy to start a riot against Hermione. It was actually kind of funny until they started screaming at each other.
He always tried to make it up by apologizing first to her and pulling her into a hug, more for his benefit. He tried to be really nice and forgiving for a while just in case she was still mad at him, but then things would just slip back to normal…
Except Ron didn't want things to go back to normal. He wanted to pull her into a hug and hold onto her forever. He felt that if he could hold onto her, then he wouldn't have to deal with everything by himself. He could keep her safe in his embrace and kiss her lips gently…He knew he shouldn't this way about her, but he could help it!
He had fallen in love with his best friend.
I have to do it soon! Ron thought to himself as he hid behind his shelf staring at Hermione. I can't take not showing her how much I love her. Hopefully, she'll feel the same for me…I mean Harry always said that she looked at me differentially than any other guy in Hogwarts. That's a good thing right?
Don't do it! She'll shut you off from her life. She hates you Ron! Ron's other thoughts came into his mind. You don't want to look bad at school by getting shut down! The whole school will know about it then! You know girls and their gossip…Ron kept debating what he should do…
Ron made a silent decision and walked over Hermione's table. She automatically looked up at him and smiled as he sat down. They both looked away and back at each other and stayed quiet for many minutes until Ron finally broke the silence.
"Listen, Hermione. I need to tell you something…"
