Loneliness
It was the first time I had smiled in days, the first time I had laughed in weeks, the first time I felt true joy in longer than I could even remember… there in Harry's arms as he spun me around the tent as though it were a ballroom. He held me close to him as the song ended and I rested my chin on his shoulder and allowed the forgotten feeling of happiness to wash over me. When the final notes of the music drifted away, Harry raised his eyes and looked into mine. And I could see the want in them; the longing; the desire that I felt too… but not for him. For when I looked in Harry's emerald eyes, all I wanted was to see Ron's sapphire ones looking back at me with that want.
For a split second, I considered simply closing my eyes and giving myself over to the part of me that longed for the comfort and warmth of man's arms around me…wondering if I could let Harry be that man. Because I knew that the likelihood of me ever seeing Ron again was almost non-existent. He couldn't come back while Harry and I were on the hunt for horcruxes and I had begun to realize that this was almost assuredly going to be a one way journey. And for a moment… just a moment, that was almost enough to let Harry's lips meet mine and allow the fear and pain and seclusion of this journey to disappear with his body wrapped around mine. But the feeling was fleeting. I knew I could never love Harry the way I loved Ron and I knew what the cost would be if I pretended that I could. Harry was my best friend, my brother, but could never be my lover. And before the moment could envelope us both, I stepped away, knowing that we would both end up regretting what loneliness could lead us to do.
A/N: This is the first Harry Potter "movie world" fanfic that I have ever written and definitely the first H/Hr. However, the dance scene in the tent in Deathly Hallows Part One really touched me. I thought it was a beautiful moment and a good way to demonstrate that Harry and Hermione's friendship could have slipped into something more if given the right conditions. However, I am a Ron/Hermione shipper at heart and I was glad the movie decided to stay true to canon and keep Harry and Hermione's relationship platonic. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed my take on that scene.
