Ron pulled Hermione on to the seat next to him. It was past midnight and everyone else in Gryffindor had long since gone to bed.
"What is it Ron?" said Hermione, softly.
"Well, I don't know if I should tell you." Ron replied looking at his feet.
"Tell me!" Hermione cried, poking him in the leg.
Ron grinned slightly at her but it soon fell. "Truth is 'Mione, ever since you broke up with me last year, I've tried to get over you. But, to be honest, my heart won't listen to my head. You're in my heart forever. I still love you."
Hermione's eyes grew wide and her mouth parted in shock. "My God, Ron. I'm so sorry." And she drew him up into a hug.
"Why are you sorry?" Ron asked, confused.
"Because, I can't be with you. I can't love you again after what you did. Please forgive me, but it's just too hard."
Ron's face saddened but he just replied "Don't worry about it. Just remember: I'm always here for you." And they embraced one last time.

One week later, Ron had been walking around Hogwarts sadly and Harry had been growing more concerned about him. He knew what had happened and so, one night, he cornered Hermione.
"Why won't you go out with Ron? He needs you. Can't you see that?" Harry yelled.
"Harry, I have my reasons! I don't need to share them with you or anyone else!" Hermione shouted in reply.
"But you loved him!"
"Yes, but he preferred Lavender! Didn't he!?"
"That was just a mistake!" argued Harry.
Hermione pushed him away and then said to him "Didn't you think for a moment that the reason I can't love Ron, is because I'm in love with you!?" shouted Hermione and tears began to snail-trail down her cheeks. "I'm going to bed." She sniffed.
"Wait!" Harry called after her.
"What is it now, Harry?" sobbed Hermione.
Harry caught her hand, span her into him and kissed her passionately. When they broke apart, Hermione finally muttered "Wow!"
