A/N: I'M NOT DEAD!

So sorry guys, completely lost focus for a while. Lost inspiration and had no time to write at all. Also a hard time at the moment as a girl I knew who was my cousins' best friend has been murdered. RIP Georgia. I now dedicate this to you. You were amazing and we all love you, shine bright in heaven angel 3

Hoping to get this fic back on the go again now. Had also started to write a marauders era fic as well before everything happened which I will post as soon as it's done!

I also want to take the opportunity to thank my most frequent reviewer 'Heronlove' for their amazing reviews!

Hermione's pov.

Sitting in potions I glared at Slughorn while he drabbled on about the uses of a bezoar. My thoughts wavered off onto a trail of Ron and Lavender.

Surely he's going to break up with her soon. Unless he's lying to me. No, he's a terrible liar. As if suffering the flat tone of Slughorn's voice for the last two hours wasn't torture enough, I had to sit next to Ron for the rest of the day. Charms, double Defence against the dark arts and then spend the rest of the night watching Ron and his pathetic excuse of a 'girlfriend' make out. Yes, my life officially sucks. Harrys not much good at the moment either, he keeps giving me these knowing looks, as if he knows what's going to happen next. It's beginning to give me the creeps.

Hanging out with Luna and Ginny is my only escape. They're the only ones I have and would ever consider telling about this. It's no good, distracting myself. He's next to me. I can feel the electric sparks flying between us, trying to shake them while keeping the soul crushing thoughts about how he'd never want me. He's avoiding looking at me, sat there with a pained expression. I officially give up. Everything. All I believed in, gone. Gone, because of one stupid little kiss. One amazing, passionate, heartfelt kiss. He was the one who had to get him a girlfriend when he obviously knew he liked me. "Urghh..." I moaned, fed up with spending so much time dithering on unanswerable thoughts.

"Something up 'Mione? I don't think old sluggy approves of your sudden distaste of potions class... He keeps giving us these weird and uncomfortable stares..." Joked Ron, his expression stretched to full capacity with trying to ease the awkwardness especially after this morning. "Oh yeah well... Nothing..." I flung the first string of semi coherent words in his general direction and looked back down at my pristine textbook. He mimicked my annoyed grunt from a minute earlier, hopefully realising I wasn't going to talk to him anytime soon. Good! He should leave me alone. If he'd of left me alone the other day and not followed me into the room of requirement then maybe he wouldn't be in this situation. This is going to be a long day...

A/N: a second one yeah I know…. Okay filler chapter so so so so sorry guys. Next chapter is almost done and has a lot going on regarding Ron + Lavender. Then chapter 12 is under way with lots of Romione! Omr can't wait me
