Set in 6th year:
Hermione is sitting by the fire, crying. She is crying because she has always had a crush on Ron, but now she knows that Ron is in love with Lavender Brown. She cries even more as she thinks, Ron will never love me back. And as Hermione shakes with sobs, someone comes down the stairs.
It was Ron.
As he spots Hermione, he stops in his tracks. "Hermione! Are-Are you okay?"
Hermione jumps as she hears his voice and hastily tries to hide her face.
Ron catches a glimpse of her eyes. "Was that you crying?"
Ron sits down next to Hermione, but Hermione is determined not too look him in the face. He could see her red and puffy eyes clearly now.
Ron puts his arm around Hermione. "Hermione, what's wrong?"
"Well, you see, it's just that-er-I-I-" She decides she is just going to spit it out. She takes a deep breath and says, "I love you, Ron. I have had a crush on you since the first year. But obviously you love Lavender now, not me."
She starts to cry as soon as she finishes, and turns away from Ron so he won't see. Ron, however, moves closer to Hermione. "Hermione, listen. The only reason I fell in love with Lavender is because she is the only girl that has ever shown interest in me. I love you, Hermione, I just didn't know you loved me back."
Ron and Hermione are looking each other in the eyes now, moving closer and closer together...
Harry wakes up, thinking he hears talking and crying in the common room. He looks over at Ron's bed, but it is empty. So he walks down the spiral staircase into the common room and...
Hermione and Ron are snogging each other by the fire. Ron lifted Hermione off her feet, holding her close. Harry, having always known they had feelings for each other, slowly walks back up the stairs.
THE END.
