Chap 2

Ron squinted against the sun that was shining through the window. He looked over at Harry's bed to see that he was still sleeping. He looked so peaceful. So beautiful under the golden sun.

Ron swung his legs over the bed, and quietly crept over to his trunk. He grabbed a pair of jeans and red t-shirt, and headed for the bath room for his daily shower, the one he often fanatasized Harry joining him in.

When Ron emerged 20 min later. He found Harry was awake and reading his potions book, the chapter we had tried to get to last night, but failed Ron thought

His glasses were askew on his nose as they always were. Ron thought it was the cutest thing. Harry looked up at him with a smile.

"I was wondering where you went." Harry said

Ron sat next to Harry on the bed. He reached up and put Harry's glasses back on his nose. Letting his hand linger a little to long on the side of Harry's face.

Ron dropped his hand quickly and cleared his thought nervously

"I just went to freshen up. What time is it anyway?" Ron asked changing the subject quickly

Harry looked at his watch

"It's about 9:30. Why?"

Ron shrugged. Harry got up off the bed and stretched. Harry's stretch reviled his thin frame. Harry had always been skinny because of the malnourishment form his aunt and uncle, but if you got past the skinniness he was beautiful. Every inch of him.

"I think maybe we should go down to breakfast now. What do you think?" Harry asked

Ron nodded. As they reached the dormitory steeps Hermione's arms came out of know where and found themselves around Ron's neck. Ron staggered back against her powerful embrace.

oh great this is just what I need right now. Why cant i ever be rid of her. If only for 10 seconds. Ugh

When Ron finally regained his balance Hermione let go of him.

"Ron we better get to the great hall breakfast is nearly over." Hermione said with a smile

"She's right Ron. If you want to get something in your stomach before potions we better get a move on."

Hermione grabbed Harry and Ron by the arm and was practically dragging them down the hall. Hermione was talking quite franticly about a new Rita skeeter article in "The Dailey Prophet", but of course Ron was way to distracted to care. He kept sneaking glances at Harry every 5 seconds who was humming a tune Ron couldn't recognize.

When the three of them reached the great hall doors Ron all of a sudden stopped. Harry and Hermione stopped with him.

"What's the matter Ron? Are you feeling alright?" Hermione said with concerning eyes.

"Yea mate what's the matter? You look sick...again"

"Listen Harry I'd like to talk to Hermione alone for a minute ok"

Harry gave Ron that sideways grin he always loved.

"Oh. I see you want to be ALONE" Harry giggled

"Ok then ill see you later."

Harry turned to walk into the great hall, but stoped short and turned back around.

"oh by they way Ron...Dont you two do anything that we wouldnet do" Harry said with a smirk

OH god Ron thought...Images...oh the images...this is not good

Harry walked into the great hall quite sexy like if Ron did say so himself.

Im pretty sure its Harrys job to tourture me Ron thought.

after a while Ron took a deep breath, and turned to Hermione

He took both hands and led Hermione to a bench where they both sat down

"Hermione you know I love you right?" Ron said hesitantly

Hermione smiled

"Yes Ron I kind of knew that one."

"But I don't love you the same way you love me. I love you as a friend."

Hermione's smile slowly turned to a frown.

"What are you saying Ronald?"

Ron sighed

"listen Hermione...there is no easy way to say this so im just going to come out and say it...Hermione I'm in love with someone else".

Both Ron and Hermione were silent...It felt like ages before anyone spoke. Finally Ron got the courage to say something.

"Uhm...Hermione are you...ok"

Hermione looked at him with tears in her eyes, and she glared at Ron so foursley he felt like he might burn from the inside out just by her looking at him.

"I have loved you since our first year. You finally get it through your thick head that we are ment to be together, and now your going to tell me you're in love with someone else. How did you expect me to react Ronald? Did you expect me to rejoyce and throw you a party?"

"Well...no not exactly, but i though you would understand"

Ron took her hand in his but Hermione pulled it away

"Dont touch me...dont ever touch me again. Do you hear me"

"Hermione I'm so sorry. I never wanted to hurt you."

"Well News flash Ron...You did"

Hermione turned and ran down the hall crying. Ron felt bad he never wanted to hurt her.

She has been such a good friend all these years. Why did I have to go and blow it. Well I only hope that I did not just do that for nothing. I hope that now I can work out whatever I need to so I can keep Harry in my life,and eventually Hermione too...if she would forgive him that is. I just hope Hermione does not do something stupid...Of course she wouldnet. Shes to smart for that...At least I hope.
