Here's chapter 3 enjoy.


Harry's POV

Lately I've been having this feeling that something's not right. It's about Ron. He's been acting really weird lately. He's always finding these excuses not to be with me and Hermione. And I've seen him sneak out of the Gryffindor tower at night, when he thinks nobody's watching him.

I don't know… Something feels off. Maybe he just got himself a new girlfriend. God, I hope so. I wouldn't feel so bad about being with Hermione if he had a girlfriend too.

I know it's awful what I'm doing, dating Hermione knowing Ron has feelings for her, but I honestly can't help myself. I tried not to have feeling for her, I really have, but I can't. I like… Oh, who am I kidding? I love everything about Hermione. I love everything she does. I love her speeches about how the elves should be free, and I love the horrible socks the makes them, trying to force them their liberty.

I even caught myself smiling like a fool at her while she was scolding me for not doing my homework, forcing her to make it for me. She wasn't happy when I pointed out that I didn't force her to do anything…

I didn't think my feelings for Hermione were a big deal because I was pretty sure they weren't reciprocated. She had never shown any signs of being even slightly attracted to me before. Or maybe she has and I didn't notice. According to her, I can be quite clueless.

I still get fuzzy inside when I remember the night we first got together…

Ron was in a really bad mood because of something Snape said. I tried to cheer him up, but I don't think it worked very well. And besides, Hermione was scolding him about paying attention to classes, which seemed to make him angrier. For a minute there, I there, I thought he was going to snap and start yelling at her, but he just gave her a grumpy look, and walked away saying he was going to bed.

"He's in a really bad mood isn't he?" she said.

"It didn't help you scolding at him."

"I didn't mean to upset him, I just don't want him to be spacing out in classes, and then being all moody because Snape yelled at him."

"I know you didn't mean to upset him. You really care about him don't you?" I asked with a not in my stomach. I'd been meaning to ask her if she and Ron were going out, just hadn't had the nerve to do it yet.

"Yeah, sure I do, he's my friend." She answered looking slightly uncomfortable.

"So… Have you gone on a date yet?" I finally manage to ask.

"A-a date?" she stuttered.

"Yeah, I figured you'd already be together by now."

"Oh… And why is that?"

"You know… Everybody knows Ron has feelings for you, and I thought you had feelings for him too."

"I love Ron, but I love him like a brother, I don't have those kinds of feelings for him."

"You don't?"

"No, I don't. I-I think I might be in love with somebody else…" she looks at the floor blushing as she says this. "But I don't know if he feels the same way…"

"I'm sure he does. You are beautiful and the smartest person I know, he'd be crazy not to feel the same way." I smiled at her even tough I felt crushed. She was in love with someone else... Well at least I didn't have to see the girl I love with my best friend "Well, do I know him?"

She looked in my eyes and said "Yes, yes you do." And then without any warning she kissed me.

"Hey! Harry!" I'm awaken from my daydream by George's voice "You want to go play Quidditch with us?"

"No thanks. Maybe later…"

With all my daydreaming I almost forgot what I was thinking about. Oh yeah, Ron. I really, really hope he's been acting weird because of a new girlfriend. Then again, maybe it's all in my head. Me and Hermione have been keeping our relationship secret, so maybe all this sneaking around is making me paranoid. Yeah, that's probably it.
