Ron's Hidden Love
I was re tracing my steps looking for that buggered rat again. Harry had reluctantly come along because he was avoiding our potions homework. We were walking into the great hall for dinner when we ran into Hermione. She had been off studying; just for something different. She looked as though she had been running, her cheeks were bright red, her hair looked puffed up – more than usual – and she seemed to stumble on her last few steps when she saw us.
"Hello, Ronald." She said crossly, hissing on my name, making me flinch.
"Hello," i said back nervously, for some reason she had been mad at me for some time, just because i told everyone that she had a crush Malfoy, i didn't really mean for it to get out, but everyone loves a good story when they hear one. And anyway, i though if everyone knew, she would stop for some reason.
"Hello, to you to Hermione," Harry said breaking the awkward silence.
"Right, yes, sorry harry, hi" she said forcing a smile.
"I'll meet you two inside shall i?" harry said chuckling to himself.
"No, no we are coming, just, you go and we will catch up," i said. I had to explain my reasoning to her, i hated her being angry at me. I loved it when we would sit together on our lounge next to the fire in the common room, or when we would watch Harry play Quidditch. I didn't like her not being around. Wait, why do i even care?
"Ronald, whatever it is, i don't want to hear it, saying what you said was the meanest thing anyone has ever done to me. I don't like Malfoy one little bit, and i don't even know why you thought i did." She said it too fast for anyone to understand, looking at Harry to see if he knew anymore than i did, he just shook his head in confusion, before walking off into the great hall. Hermione; trying to catch her breath, just stood there, probably thinking about a grammar error on her werewolf essay.
"Hermione, i said those thing because i was jealous," what was i saying, it just kept coming out. "I am really sorry, i'm your friend and friends prtect each other and i couldn't stand the way he was looking at you, I'm sorry, i really am."
"What did you just say?" a surprised look came across her face, like she just won the lottery.
"I'm sorry herm-"She cut me off mid sentence, that's a bit rude, i thought.
"No, about you being jealous,"
"Oh, i wasn't actually jealous i, just, I'm your friend and i was just, looking out for you, there were no other motives, what so ever." I stated my point and that was that.
"Ok, then fine," going back to her angry face. "Seats are filling up, let's go in and find harry."
I breathed a sigh of relief when i saw harry, i person who i could talk to with no problems.
