Hermione walked into the Leaky Cauldron, and saw her two best friends sitting at a table in the back. "Harry, Ron." She said as she headed over to them.

"Oh, hey, Herm..." Harry turned around, and stopped mid sentence at the sight.

"Hi, Ron." Hermione sat between the two boys. Ron must have been speechless because his jaw was hanging open, and he was babbling incoherently.

"I said 'Hi, Ron'." Hermione said again. Silence.

"What's the matter with the two of you?" Hermione giggled.

"You just, you look, well, you look..." Harry struggled to find the words.

"Weird!" Ron yelled.

"Ron." Hermione said appalled.

"I was actually going to say beautiful." Harry input.

"Thank you, Harry." Hermione blushed. She had never gotten a compliment before.

"You don't look weird in a bad way... it's like a good way. Like I've never seen you like this before. You're gorgeous." Ron explained.

"Oh, and I've never been gorgeous before?" Hermione put her hand on top of Ron's.

"Um... I got to go." Ron jumped up, and ran out.

"What was that all about?" Hermione looked at a confused Harry.

"How should I know? You know Ron. Always going off the deep end." Harry sipped his butter beer.

"Let's go get our books. He'll come to his senses and catch up." Harry laughed, and walked outside.

"Why is it always me? Why can it never be

That I just be me?

I wish I could tell someone... anyone how I feel

I wish I could ask them for the answers like is this for real?

I want to be with him, forever till the day we die

I want to be with him so much that I could cry...

Come and talk to me Ron, kiss my lips so sweet

Hug me when I need it, and hold my hand walking down the street

Tell me you love me too tell me you want to be

Just you and me forever, forever just you and meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee"

Ron was sitting on a bench in front of Flourish and Blott's. He was extremely embarrassed by the way he behaved when 'Mione touched his hand. Hadn't she always done that? He just wanted to not be confused anymore. He had been confused since she had stepped into his life seven years ago. "I'm Hermione Granger, and you are?" he heard the first rude words she had ever said to him.

"'Mione, what are you doing to me

You're tearing my life apart

I knew who I was and what I liked

Until we had a friendship start

I used to hate you with my entire soul

I used to loathe you with every breath

Now I see you and me together

Until I am taken by death

That fateful day with the troll

When you taught me how to cast

When I saved yours and Harry's life

No need the thank me it's in the past

Ever since then you've been there

When I needed you most

You played responsible sister

But my heart was like a ghost

I have always wanted to be with you

But I never could tell you that

Especially not after

You bought that damned to hell cat

I used to make you feel bad

About your mind, body, and hair

But you still stuck by my side

You were still always there

I need a friend right now

And I can't go to you or Harry

I need to talk about these feelings

They feel good but kind of scary

So now I am leaving Hermione

So now I'm going to go

You will never see me again

Goodbye here I goooooo..."
