Why? Why can't I be the hero for once? I've seen some of those muggle movies and the hero always gets everything. He defeats the bad guy, gets the girl and everyone loves him. He's always the center of attention. Harry is that person, well he hasn't defeated You -Know - Who yet but we all know he will someday and replace 'the girl' with 'the guy' and we have our hero's story. I however am not the hero or the center of attention and never have been. With five older brothers everything has been done before. They've one the house cup, been quiddich captains, head boys, prefects, and trouble makers. right now the only thing I want is her, She's perfect. When I first met Hermione I was in awe and all I could do is tease her to get her attention. Now I fear she only thinks of me as a friend. She's had a few boyfriends. None of then lasted too long though. I was always there when it didn't work out. I love her with all my heart and she doesn't see it. Harry understands because for some reason beyond my comprehension he apparently is in love with Dra- Malfoy. Having to sit beside her in class and not being able to hold her when she's hurt kills me. I need her more than life itself and I hope someday soon she'll see me as more than a good buddy. Until then I'll always be there for her.
