Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter. If id did, I wouldn't be writing crappy fanfiction. And most of the characters in the books would be gay. Since they aren't, I don't own it.

I've always been the odd one out. They were friends first; I was just an addition. I'm also the only girl, and the only muggle-born. They call us the golden trio, but it should be the golden duo.
In our first year, it was Ron's sacrifice that allowed Harry to get to the stone, not mine. All I did was go back to take care of Ron.
In our second year they both went into the chamber themselves. Sure I may have helped a bit, but where was I when they needed to save Ginny? Frozen in the infirmary. They saved the day, together.
In our third year I may have been the one to help Harry save Sirius, but I'm sure he would've rather taken Ron. He would have, but Ron's leg was broken, there was no way it would've worked.
I can't believe I was so blind in our fourth year. "The thing he would miss the most". Sure, I may have been Viktor's, but even if I weren't, Harry's would still have been Ron.
And after our fifth year, Harry was never the same. But he didn't go to me for comfort, instead he went to Ron. I suppose that how it started. The funny thing is, I always thought Ron fancied me. But that's obviously not the case.
Don't get me wrong, I am happy for them. It's just I'm even more excluded now than I ever was before. But this is the happiest I have ever seen Harry. He just seems so content lying on a couch in the common room with Ron's arms around him, resting his head on Ron's chest. Ron seems happy too.
Everyone thinks there adorable together. I even heard Malfoy say they deserved each other, though I think he meant it as an insult. The only one who's pissed is Ginny. I don't think she ever did get over her crush of Harry. Oh well, I think she's starting to warm up to the idea of dating Neville.
They're my best friends and I love them. But I could never come close to the love they have for each other. I have to admit, they're good for each other. Sure, it may not be fun being the odd one out, but I don't mind. Malfoy was right; Harry and Ron do deserve each other. The war may rage on, but as long as their together, I think everything is quite right with the world.
