Have you ever felt as if you were meant to be with someone? It seems sappy at first, you think it's just a fairy tale, and life will never grant you all your wishes. It's probably the boy right under your nose. You're running after the wrong guy and he'll never love you back (or tell you he loves you) but what happens when you turn around and you face a guy you've known and loved for over seven to ten years of your life?
-Hermione
Of course, I've felt that way. Except - obviously, it's not a guy that I run after. You sound a bit sappy, Hermione, but I guess that's pretty usual after graduation. I felt that way too - ever since Voldemort's downfall, I kept wanting something to happen, something magical to happen to the last few days of Hogwarts. Sometimes I wake up in this small apartment and think I am still in the Burrow, and Ron's doing the cannonball on my bed to wake me up and I am still remembering when I was twelve and I stayed over, and Ginny had that crush on me. It's hard to believe after seven years she's the first one of the 'gang' to get married and be 'with child'. Ron and I were discussing it a few days ago when he showed up to look around my new place and he told me he didn't want his sister 'all grown up'.
-Harry
Heavens, Harry, will it kill you to say 'pregnant'? Seriously, after all these years of being best friends with two boys, I still don't understand men. Well, of course it's not a guy you run after - or - maybe it is? I understand, Harry. Are you having those feelings for Ron again? Very understandable.
P.S. I wasn't talking about Ginny.
-Hermione
That was so not cute! Do not ever say that ever again, I am already traumatized! But don't worry, I don't understand women either. They get all these emotions - it's pretty annoying. When are you going to come and see my new place? Maybe we could hang out together, maybe with Ron too.
-Harry
Yes, Harry, women get 'feelings'. But I've never been one of those women who's first priority is to get their makeup done before nine o'clock in the morning. I am far too busy with work to come to your new place, but I do think we should do something together without Ron.
-Hermione
'Feelings'? What is such a word? I know you've never been one of those women, and that's what I admire so much. When I had my first kiss with Cho, I could've sworn that she re-applied her lip gloss afterwards in the halls when we walked together. I remember Cho was jealous because she thought that there was something 'between us'? Very amusing, really. Like there could ever be anything between us. And I know you're shy around Ron, but I think you should hang out with each other. You caught me, then, Mione! I was planning to leave you two alone and give a very unusual story about having an emergency and going back to my apartment. You were always smart.
P.S. What do you mean, you weren't talking about Ginny? Who could you have been talking about?
-Harry
Harry, I love Ron in a very infuriating way, but you must stop thinking that we're still back at school and Ron and I are sniping at each other about Viktor Krum (God, you've got me thinking about my first boyfriend after all these years!). I mean, I only went out with Viktor because a certain redhead didn't admit his feelings. After all those pecks on the cheeks (I miss that cute blush!), he still didn't fail to conceal those 'feelings'.
Besides, I don't think he's the one I want.
-Hermione

Oh, Harry, you adorable, infuriatingly scarred idiot.
Boys.
