Chapter 1 Realization
Harry- As I sat in the Great Hall eating my breakfast I saw Hermione walk into the room. She looked different. Her hair wasn't messy as usual, it was straight and it appeared she had put on some make up. (Even though I haven't a clue where she got it from) She looked beautiful. But I couldn't be saying these things about Hermione! She is my best friend! (Besides Ron) We have been through thick and thin together and I couldn't let a little crush mess up our friendship. I had been thinking for a long time and when Hermione said Hello and I didn't respond she started waving her hand in front of my face.
"Harry, come along, we have potions in 10 minutes and if we're late Professor Snape will take points away and we don't want to be the cause of that!"
She was right so I gathered my books and took a muffin along.
"Ok I'm ready."
"For a minute there Harry I thought you were going deaf AND blind!" said Ron who quickly followed behind.
"I was just thinking, all right?"
"Ok, just making sure you're Ok!"
I said shyly to Hermione, "Did you do something new to your hair?"
"Why yes! Thank you for noticing! Just a simple spell from a book I checked out from the library."
"Oh," that's all I said. The rest of the walk to potions was filled with talk between Ron and me about the next Quidditch match against Ravenclaw. I told him about how Wood had been working us overtime and I bearly have enough sleep each day! That conversation lasted all the way to potions and you could tell Hermione was board but she had to be use to it by now.
Potions is always a disaster and today Malfloy and me got into a scrawl about Ron. As usual Malfoy was teasing him about his poverty and his second hand books and I stood up to him and ended up getting a detention and 10 points from Gryffindor, but he was still proud he stuck up for Ron. I had to stay after class and I told Ron and Hermione they could go ahead.
Ron- As we were walking to defense against the dark arts I started to talk to Hermione. I had to tell her something and this was the perfect time since Harry was gone. I had to tell her. I had liked her for a long time even though I had made fun of her most of the time. It was my way of showing I care and today since she was looking so beautiful, I seized the opportunity.
"Hermione?"
"Yes Ron."
"I need to tell you something, I've. I've ."
"Well just spit it out Ron lets here it!"
"I've. I've liked." I was going to say it I swear but I couldn't just go out and say I've fancied her since I've met her! "I've been wondering if you would like to go on a picnic with me?"
"Well of course I would! It would give me time to study and catch up on my reading! I'll pack the food! How about tomorrow afternoon? I'll tell Harry later."
Not exactly what I was expecting but I could figure this out! I am after all Ron Weasley!
To make everything perfect it had turned out Harry had Quidditch practice and was unable to make it to out picnic! Everything was going to be perfect! When we picked out a place to sit I laid the blanket down and we sat upon it and Hermione read. We didn't talk for a while. I managed to occupy myself by thinking of how I was going to tell Hermione. All of a sudden I lost my head and just blurted it out.
"Hermione, I've like you! I've like you since I've met you!"
Obviously there was an awkward silence but to my surprise she responded calmly.
"Ron, that is so sweet but I don't know what to say. I can't exactly neglect my feelings either. (Pause) Ron I have to tell you that I like you too but I don't think this would work. I mean we are complete opposites and think of Harry and what he would say!"
What she was saying made complete sense but I didn't care.
"Hermione we could make this work! I know we could and as far as Harry goes would he really care? I mean he would understand we are best friends!"
A silence I couldn't stand but she would have to break it.
"I'm not saying yes but I'm not saying no. I'm saying we should try going out as friends by ourselves without Harry and see if we get along. If it works out fine but if it doesn't no hard feelings. I don't want to break our friendship. But for now I guess you could say I'm off the market!"
Hermione giggled and I did something brave. I went in and hugged her.
Harry- I was walking off the Quidditch field to go find Hermione and Ron. Practice had ended early and I was going to go join them in their picnic. I spotted them and walked toward them and at that moment I saw them hug. But not as friends. It was more. I felt like someone had stabbed me and I realized how much I cared about Hermione and how much I felt Ron had betrayed me. But it was my fault. I didn't act fast. It wasn't Ron's fault. I had failed to realize how much I was in love with Hermione.
