"How long have you liked me?" Hermione and Ron were cuddling together on the night before their wedding.
Ron sighed, "The first time I realized how much I truly loved you was the moment I saw you on the infirmary bed second year after the chamber of secrets was opened."
"What? Really?"
"Yes. In fact, I'll show you." Ron stood up and walked to the fireplace. "Stay here."
"Where are you going?"
"I'll be back." Ron grabbed her from the couch and hugged her tightly, spinning her around and making her giggle. "I love you, Hermione Granger." He kissed her and then set her back down on the couch as gingerly as possible. With a smile to her, he left through the floo.
Hermione waited for ten minutes until the fireplace roared to life again.
"What's this?" She asked as Ron gave her a yellowed parchment.
"Read it and find out." Ron instructed.
My heart sank to my toes when I saw you on that bed. I thought you were dead, but they said you weren't. It looked as though you were...I couldn't take my eyes off of you. It was horrible...the worst feeling in the world. I was crying earlier today when I saw you, as much as I'm crying now. Sorry about the tear drops...I just can't help it. I keep thinking of what meaningless my life would be if I didn't have you here. You are the person I want in my life forever. I only realized this earlier when I saw you here, almost like you were dead. I want you back, no, I need you back. You are my life, and my love. I love you, and now it may be too late to let you know. What if this thing comes and kills you? Please don't leave me...I love you and I only just realized it. We have so much more time together that needs to happen. I am going to marry you someday, I will. I think you are so beautiful. I love your eyes. I love your smile. I even love your curly beautiful hair. You are so smart and amazing in everything you do. Someday, when the time is right, I will be giving you this, so you need to be ok. Please be ok...I love you, Hermione Granger.
