All At Once

"There are certain people you just keep coming back to

She is right in front of you

You begin to wonder could you find a better one

Compared to her now she's in question"

The Fray, All at Once

He had never noticed how beautiful she was before. He'd always just seen her as Ron's mate, nothing new. Just plain, studious Hermione. He was visiting the Burrow when he saw her. It had been a good few months since the last time he'd seen her but he didn't expect to be blown away by her. She was stunning. Gorgeous. He couldn't tear his eyes away from her form. How had he not noticed what had been in front of him years.

They began chatting more and more, going out for a coffee or lunch here and there. They always had a laugh and never ran out of conversation. Then it happened. One day he was walking her back to her office and the heavens opened. The rain was bouncing on the pavement. He pulled her into a small porch way of a shop. He became mesmerised by the droplets slowing sliding down her face. He knew it was now or never.

He grabbed her and kissed her hard. Weeks and weeks of pent up frustration coming out in one kiss. He pulled back and looked at her waiting for a sign. Had it been the wrong thing to do? Had he just blown their friendship? Her face lit up in a brilliant smile and she launched herself into his arms.
