How do I Feel About You Hermione?
Enjoy. The 'How do I Feel' series of chapters is over with this one. The whole group finds about each other's worlds in the next one. You might think Hermione's a tad OOC. I tried not to make it that way, but if you think she is, at least you know I tried to fix it.
Disclaimer: Do you honestly think I own either? I thought not, because I don't.
Ron's POV
Hermione and I always fight. Harry always stays out of the way, not wanting to be involved. As Hermione and I bickered, I saw him walking around camp with my sister, Ginny. I wonder what they're doing. Whatever it is, it's probably not fighting. I really don't like my spats with Hermione, honestly, but she just sets me off sometimes. Hermione finally gave up; I was apparently a hopeless case. She sat down on a tree stump. I sat on the floor next to it.
"Hermione, I hope you know that I don't enjoy fighting with you," I told her.
"Humph," was her response. She crossed her arms over her chest. Then she unfolded them with a sigh, "I don't either." She looked over at Harry and Ginny, who were leaving this arena type thing.
"What are you thinking about?" I asked her.
"Well, Ginny still has a crush on Harry. I was wondering if Harry has a crush on Ginny," she told me. I might have a crush on you, Hermione. I thought to myself. Why would I think like that though? What is causing me to feel this way? It must be this stupid camp. First, Annabeth and Percy, now me! Maybe even Ginny. That thought made me shudder. Better not be Harry too, unless it's Cho. I wonder If Hermione…
"You don't have to answer this if you don't want to…I'm just curious…as your friends I want to know…do you have a crush on anyone?" I asked her. I tried to make it seem as if it was a general question, not one about me.
"Well, there was Viktor…maybe someone else…but maybe only jealousy will allow me to think clearly on that one," she replied vaguely. Jealousy, huh? (A/N Reason for jealousy: in the sixth book, Hermione starts to realize her feelings for Ron. Only because she's jealous of Lavender Brown, though.)
One of the Aphrodite Girls' POV
I forgot the names my mother told me, but these tow definitely match the description of one couple. This love will go nowhere without juristic measures! I was watching two of the Gryffindor Cabin talk to each other. Then the red-headed boy made a comment to the frizzy-haired brunette about her crushes. Frizz told him about some guy named Viktor, Red must know who that is, then something about jealousy. She was definitely referring to Red! I hatched a brilliant plan: I would make her jealous. This boy wasn't terribly handsome, but anything in the name of love, right? I ran up behind him, and tapped him on the shoulder.
He turned around. I said, "Hey Red," and kissed him. When I broke away, I smiled at him, glanced at Frizz (who was, I'm happy to report, shocked and angry), and ran to join my other cabin mates.
Ron's POV
I was just kissed by a beautiful girl. Yeah, sure she's pretty, but I prefer Hermione. I looked at her, worried, "Are you…jealous?" I asked.
She blinked, "Er – why would I be jealous?" she asked. Then she added angrily, "You probably like her anyway; she so pretty! There would be no point in me being jealous; it wouldn't make a difference!" She turned around and started to run away.
"Your answer does make a difference! I don't fall for a girl just because she's beautiful. I'm not that shallow," I told her. She stopped, and I noticed that she was crying.
"Really? My answer will make a difference?" she started feebly. Then she straitened up, "Then I guess my answer is," she grinned, "I am jealous."
"Don't be. I don't like her. But there is someone else I like," I made her feel worried.
"WHO!" she shouted at me angrily (and jealously). Now I'm scared!
"Wow, that's a first," I replied, not looking at her, "a girl is jealous of herself." It took Hermione to recover from her shout, and then she realized what I said.
"I'm the other girl?" she replied, surprised.
"Yes," I answered. Then, from my lanky height, I leaned down to Hermione. She closed her eyes, and I pressed my lips to hers. (A/N You might be annoyed with all the kissing, but I just wanted to get the relationships out of the way, so I didn't have to deal with them later.) I wrapped my arms around her waist, and she wrapped hers around my neck. This was bliss. I was kissing Hermione, and nobody can change that. Well, except Hermione. I loved her; it was more than just a crush.
When I pulled away, I said, "I think this is more than just a crush. I think this is more than just me liking you. I think that I–," I started.
"–love you," she finished for me, "I love you too."
"Will you be my girlfriend?" I asked her.
"Well…I don't know…there is Viktor to think about…," she said hesitantly.
My eyes widened, "What?" I whispered, worried.
She smiled at me, "Gotcha! Of course I will be your girlfriend! I was just getting you back." I rolled my eyes at her and turned in a different direction. But I was pulled back to face her by her gentle hand. I stared into her eyes, and this time, she lifted her head up to kiss me. When she broke away, she asked, "You aren't mad, are you?"
"No, I'm not. I deserved it," I told her with a smile. She returned the smile.
Just then, the horn signaling the start of dinner sounded. Hermione ran ahead of me to the dinning pavilion, so I ran faster to catch up. Once I was at her side, I put an arm around her waist. Then, I noticed Harry pulling Ginny out of the stables. He stopped, then pulled her towards his side, and put his arm around my little sister's waist. I saw her smile at him. If this was yesterday, I would be shouting at my best mate right now, telling him to get his hands off my sister. But, after what I just experienced with Hermione, I knew that if they really cared about each other, I should leave them alone.
But, I noticed that I wasn't the only one watching the pair. I saw Cho glaring at Ginny, and I also saw that Harry noticed. He knew that Cho was jealous; he would protect Ginny from her, no doubt about it.
