"Having fun?" He asked as he passed him a butterbeer. Harry himself had been chatting with Ginny for a half an hour, his steady girlfriend of one year, and now she was off in the powder room *fixing herself up*.
"Yeah, I like the music." He sat down and started thinking to himself. He and Pavarati had been going out for about a year, amazing enough, and they we're pretty steady... Oh no! He thought to himself her present!! He told Harry he had to go and ran back to Gryffindor tower.
"Tickled pink," he said to the Fat Lady and then climbed in the portrait hole. He ran up the stair to his dorm and grabbed her present from his trunk, but as he closed it, he saw a letter stuck on the front. It was in a small envelope, in cursive writing was For My Friend Ron and beneath it, it said I'm sorry he sat on his bed and ripped open the letter, he read it fast and horror struck him, he jumped over his bed to Harry's trunk and saw a smiliar envelope and read his letter quickly, it was almost the same as his. He didn't stop to think before he forgot about the ball and ran towards the 6th year girls dorm, Hermiones dorm.
On the floor, the letter softly landed, and it read:
Ron,
I'm sorry that I wasn't a great friend that you wanted. And I'm sorry that I was so rude to you so many times. I don't know how you put up with me, as I can't see how I put up with myself. I know that you never felt that I was as close a friend as Harry, but I truly did enjoy being your friend. I'm giving Harry a letter that says the same thing, but there's something that his doesn't say...
I love you, Ron, I don't know why, or how but I do. I'm sorry that I made you and Harry hate me so, but as much as I tried, I couldn't stop loving you. Even now, as you ignore me and exclude me, I still love you. I won't forget you Ron, but I'm sorry that my life has to come to and end for me to tell you. But I do, I do love you Ron, and I always will.
Sincerely Yours,
Hermione Elizabeth Granger.
