Another little RWHG ficcy. Short fluffy and one-shot.

Dear Hermione,

And so it is over.

The seven years we have spent laughing and crying and working and enjoying each other's company, has finally come to its end.

We have spent our last days sitting behind a desk, working and passing notes and making snide comments about Snape, or laughing at Flitwick, or falling asleep from the drone of Binns. We have spent our last lunchtime bickering or combing the library or studying for that imminent test or writing the last inches of that paper.

And as I write this I think about all that I have done with you since I met you, that fateful train trip to Hogwarts. I think about the comments you have made and the laughter we have shared and the arguments we have had.

Has it really been seven years? Such a vast time, and yet so little? It seems like eternity since I met you, yet I wonder how one person can have such an overwhelming affect on my life, when I have known them for such a relatively short time.

How can you have made me into the person I am now, when I have known you for less than half my life? How can you make me think of you every moment that I am not with you, make me ache to be near you, to talk to you or to laugh with you or to make you see what work I have done so that you will be proud of me?

I'm so confused.

I'm confused that I could love one person so much, and yet not be able to see them every day of my life.

I'm confused that I won't be waking up each day, ready to share classes with you and spend lunch with you and laugh and fight with you.

I'm confused that anyone's opinion could mean so very much to me.

And I realize, quite suddenly, that it's because of your laugh, and your smile, and your haughty look and your love of books and your clever ways and your kindness, that endears you to me.

It's your friendship that I love, and your love that I crave.

Because, dear Hermione, this whole leaving school thing has made me realize. It's made me realize that I don't want to spend a life without being able to wake up in the morning and spend breakfast with you. It's made me realize that I could never love any other person as much as I love you.

It's made me realize that I don't want to love anyone else as much as I love you.

I don't know that I will send this to you, because doubtless you'll send it back with spelling corrections (or perhaps because I'm afraid of how you'll react), but if you get this, I hope it doesn't drive you away.

I just wanted to thank you for your friendship (and I got a bit off track).

Thankyou for being my mediator, my counselor, my tutor and my fellow prefect. Thankyou for helping me and berating me and making me into a better person.

But most of all?

Thankyou for being my friend. Thankyou for being the reason I got up some days, for being there when I needed you and for lifting me up when I was down.

Thankyou for ...

Thankyou for being the best friend (other than Harry) that I could have asked for, for sticking by me and being all that you are.

I could never have survived without you.

I love you, whether we are at school, or not, whether we are together or hundreds of miles apart.

I will always love you.

Love Ron.

Thanks guys – leave a review please.

Lawwwren.
