Chapter 9: Disbelief

Hermione's P.O.V. (the rest of the story will be in her P.O.V. and I just wrote this because we were just in Ron's)

I looked away consistently, doing everything I could to avoid his gazing eyes, those wonderful, blue eyes. i looked up, down, even at the death eaters, all to avoid his unmoving stare. He wouldn't take his eyes off me and I couldn't bear to look at him. Not after I knew that he had seen all of those thoughts and visions. They kept replaying in my mind- why did she have to show them? They weren't meant to be seen by anyone, especially Ron.

Mary turned toward Ron now, putting the same spell on him that she had on me. He fell into a deep, sleep-like state, and then the woman turned to me.Oh god I thought. Now I'm going to see what he thinks of me! Great - I get embarrassed to death and my heart broken in the same day! I mean- there is no possible way that he likes me back. Maybe he used to- but certainly not anymore. She aimed her wand at me now, and again I saw visions, but this time they were not my own. It surprised me when I saw the same visions, from a different perspective of course, but they were still the same visions. So maybe Ron did have some feelings for me...

I saw a few new ones- some that surprised me greatly. For instance, I saw Ron talking to Harry, admitting that he only went out with Lavender to make me jealous. He wanted to make mejealous! I couldn't believe it! I'd basically gotten upset over the whole Ron and Lavender fiasco for no reason - he had done it because he had liked me. i also saw something else-something I wasn't expecting to see. Ron was standing in front of the mirror of Erised. Why was i seeing this? What did his "vision in the mirror" have to do with any of this? Unless...no- it couldn't be true.

It was just like Ron had said. In the mirror, he was all dressed up in the Cannon's quidditch attire, a badge that said Captainon it shone proudly on his chest. He was standing in the middle of a circle of crazed, cheering quidditch fans who were all trying to get close to him. Ron was holding a broom, what looked to be a firebolt 3000(the latest and greatest broom design), in his left hand and he was raising the World Cup in his right high in the air. There was a triumphant smile, almost smirk, on his face, and he looked the happiest that I had ever seen him. It made me happy just to see him that happy. And then all of a sudden, I come bursting through the crowd, a proud grin spread across my entire face. I walked right up to Ron and planted a kiss on his mouth. He put his arm around me, both of us were smiling and looked completely and utterly satisfied with our lives.

I was shocked. Feelings of disbelief, excitement, confusion, and relief washed over me. I wasn't sad this time. Actually, I couldn't have been happier! Ron liked me- he actually had feelings for me! One of his greatest desires is to be with me. Me! I was pulled out of the trance and found that I was back to reality. The death eaters were towering above me, standing all over the room and cackling evilly. I looked up at Ron who was looking back at me, though still clearly embarrassed( his ears were redder than a tomato), but he smiled softly, and I returned the gesture.

But then the smiles turned into frightend looks as we remembered what Mary had said. That we would see this, and then one of us would get tortured. I was scared- not that it would be me, but that it would be Ron. I wouldn't be able to bare watching him being tortured. Even if I didn't know that he had feelings for me. I still would be heartbroken- he was my best friend. I couldn't let anything happen to him, and he couldn't let anything happen to me.

Mary stood between us again, smiling her ugly, evil little smile. She then turned to me. "OK, Mudblood. Your time is up."


A/N OOOOOOH, cliff hanger(sort of). I finally told you what Ron saw in the mirror - I hopw you all are satisfied with it! I know, I know, another super short chapter, but I can't write too much in just one period of time. It needs to be spread out for me. So I'll write more when I get back! I hope you all liked it! I hope to "see" you in a few weeks! Please review. Thank you!!!!

P.S. i might possibly be able to fit in another chapter by tomorrow, but I'm not sure. I'll try though!

P.P.S Check out my profile and read some of my other fics! I want to know what you think!

P.P.P.S Kay, bye.
