The way it should've always been
Chapter 1:
"Mione" said Ron.
"Yes, Ron." Hermione replied, looking up from her book.
He got up from the floor, where he was doing his potions essay. There he stood right in front of the girl that would always love him and more then he could ever know, and he was about to show her just how much he loved her. He took a deep breath and continued…
"Well…uhh…the thing is…umm." Ron stuttered.
"It's ok Ron, I feel the same way."
"Huh what do you mean?"
"I love you Ron, I always have and always will. Nothing could stop me from loving you, you were and always will be the only one I love." Before she could continue, she was swept up in Ron's arms, his arms entwined around her waste and he was kissing her. Her arms found Ron's neck as she pulled him closer to kiss him more passionately.
"Hermione!"
She broke away and looked around but there was no one there, just her and Ron.
"Did you hear that?" she asked confused.
"What are you talking about, I didn't hear anything" said Ron
"I dunno I must be hearing things." She said
They continued there making out until…
"HERMIONE!"
This time Hermione was pulled away from Ron, she reached out and tried to grab him but he was out of reach. She was being shaken.
"Hermione, Hermione!"
Her eyes fluttered open. It was a dream, why did it have to be a dream? It was amazing, it felt so real. She thought to her self.
"Why did you wake me?" she looked at the clock on her bedside table, "it's 5:30 in the bloody morning, are you crazy?" said Hermione obviously angry with the red head for interrupting her dream.
Ginny had been in her dorm from the beginning of her 7th year, Dumbledore had let it be, because Ginny and Hermione were such good friends and at times like these it was good to have your friends close by.
"Well you were talking in your sleep." Said Ginny, with a sly grin on her face. Oh no what is that look for I hope I didn't say anything that might be incriminating.
"And what is it that I said, that gave you that stupid grin?" said Hermione, with no sign of fright.
"I would tell you but you wouldn't believe me." Said Ginny. No I would probably just deny it! Thought Hermione. "Or you would deny it!" finished Ginny and boy was she right.
"Just tell me already!" said Hermione forcefully.
"Ok, ok just keep your voice down." Said Ginny, trying not to wake everyone else. She paused for a while.
"So…?" said Hermione waiting for Ginny to continue.
"Well it began at about…mmm…I say about 4:30, well that's when I got back so you could have been doing it before then, I'm not sure." Ginny said, not realizing what she just said.
"Huh, wait what do you mean you got back at 4:30, where were you?" asked Hermione.
"Umm" she paused yet again. "In the library doing an essay…" Hermione could tell she was lying through her teeth.
"Really, what subject was the essay for?" said Hermione knowing fully well that she had not been doing an essay.
"Uhh…herbology" she lied
"Don't lie to me, I can tell your lying by the look on your face!"
"Ok, ok you caught me."
"I always do. So where were you REALLY?"
"I was in the room on requirement."
"What were you doing there?" Hermione asked confused.
"Well…umm…I was…uhh." she hesitated
"Well?" Hermione asked
"Fine…iwaswithharry." Ginny blurted out
"Come again?"
"I said I was with Harry, ok? I was in the room of requirement with HARRY JAMES POTTER!" she took a few well needed breaths, and continued while Hermione sat up in her bed with her mouth hung open. "It was amazing we were there, sitting in front of a fire place, it was so romantic. We kissed and hugged. I really do love him Hermione and I think he loves me too!"
"Well that was unexpected, well not unexpected, I knew it would happen again but I didn't think it would be so soon. I thought Harry didn't want to be with you because he thought that Voldermort would use you as bait, to get to him."
"Well, yeah but Voldermort has used me as bait before and we just couldn't stay away from each other. We just couldn't do it. We knew how each other felt and well you can't help your feelings can you?"
"Of course not, if you two love each other then I think you should be together now, because you never know one day it could be too late!" said Hermione.
"speaking of feelings, and two people loving each other, does any of that sound like any one we know?" said Ginny suggestively
Hermione knew exactly what she was talking about.
"Nope doesn't sound familiar."
"Oh, are you sure?"
"What are you talking about, have you gone off your nutters?"
"I think you know exactly what I'm talking about, and no I'm not of my nutters!"
"Are you insinuating that Ron and I have feelings for each other and should admit it before it is too late?" said Hermione accusingly.
"Yes!"
"Well, guess what I don't like Ron anymore than a friend, so this convosation is over!"
"Well, I don't care what you say I know you love Ron, cause if you didn't then why would you be moaning and saying his name in your sleep? Huh answer me that!"
Hermione gasped. Oh no! I was saying his name and MOANING in my sleep I hope no one else was awake when this was going on.
"No" was all she could manage.
"Oh yes, you better believe it. 'RON I LOVE YOU…OHH…MMM…RON', it was rather funny but I had to wake you. Hearing your brother's name being said like that, it was just a bit disturbing. Especially when it's your best friend saying it!"
"Surely you don't think I like your brother, do you?"
"Surely I do, how could I not I mean you were moaning his name Hermione,
moaning." Said Ginny, emphasizing the last word.
"Moaning…" Hermione said in a scared yet defeated voice.
"Mmmhhhmmm…" agreed Ginny.
"Ok maybe I like your brother just a little bit." Whispered Hermione.
"Pardon speak up please" said Ginny
"OK, I LOVE YOUR BROTHER! I love him so much, words can't describe it. I have loved him for 7 years! And I don't think I'll ever stop loving him." Said Hermione in one breath.
"Oh My God! I knew it! I knew it! I knew it!" sang Ginny doing a little victory dance.
"I only just realized that I loved him. But some how I knew I have for the past 7 years. He's just like changed mentally and PHYSICALLY! Oh My God have you seen him with his shirt off! WOW!" Ginny gave Hermione a disgusted look, "right he's your brother, my bad."
"Yes and I think I'm ready to sleep now, although I'll proberly have nightmares for the rest of my life but anyway!" said Ginny
"Yeh, yeh ok, goodnight." said Hermione.
