A/N: Wooo my other story that I uploaded today has already got one nice review! Not much but I'm really happy! I found this and I was like 'why not?' so here I am typing this up... its not much, but yeah...
Disclaimer: I wanna own Harry Potter, but they turned down my offer... D':
SET AFTER RON AND LAVENDER KISS AND HARRY GOES TO COMFORT HERMIONE! THIS IS WHAT I THOUGHT SHOULD HAVE HAPPENED! WOOOO!
"Is this how it feels? When you see Ginny with Dean?" Hermione asks sniffling.
Harry looks down at his best friend. He was so used to her always being so strong and unfazed about anything, but here they were. She was crying and all he could to was hold her close and try and comfort her. She doesn't like being weak, she doesn't like having to depened on other people. Its usally the other way round people coming to her for advice, being weak means makes her feel worthless and she hates it. He knows this. He knows its her fear to be unwanted not cared for, he didn't have to see her boggart in their third year, he just knows. Harry thinks for a while before saying.
"No, its not when Ginny's with Dean that I feel this way,"
Hermione looks up at him confused "But I've seen the way you look at her,"
"That- that was before. The truth is I'm jelous of them, of any happy couple, because the person I love, she- she's in love with some one else, I always just thought I was loved with Ginny," Harry says softly looking out the window
"W-what? Your in love with some one else?" Hermione asks shocked. Shes suprised that she never figured it out.
He chuckles "I just realised it now" he looks back at Hermione smiling softly
"Tell me about her" Hermione says. Harry sighs.
"Well I've loved her since the day I met her. Shes smart, witty, beautiful and almost everyone takes her for granted. She never conplains about anything and shes always been there for me even though I've been a complete and utter jerk to her so many times over the years she has never given up on me and is always encouraging me. It always makes me jelous when I see her with other guys, even Neville!" he has a far away look in his eyes.
"Is it Cho?" Hermione asks tentivally
"No! Cho is worth nothing compared to her," Harry says
"Can you tell me more about her? Like the first time you met?" Hermione asks extremley curious to know who this mystery girl is that her best friend is so smitten with.
"I'm just going to say now that I'm a horrible person for realising I love her now," Harry says "the first time I met her... hmmm, yes well she came into the compartment I was sitting in just before Ron was going to do some magic. She asks if we've seen a toad 'some boy called Neville has lost his' was what she said I'm pretty sure," he smirks at the look on Hermione's face. She is staring at him realisaion hitting her, hard. "Then she goes and fixs my glasses, and says 'holy cricket your Harry Potter!' then she introduces her self. Her name was Hermione Granger, and that was the day I fell in love with the most beautiful girl in the world," he finishs off.
"Harry?"
"Hmm?"
Hermione doesn't say anything but instead leans forward and presses her lips on his. Harry frezzes shocked but then relaxs, he knows she never loved Ron or Viktor Krum or any other guy. It was always him.
