Letters

Chapter 10

Hermione placed the last letter down, her hands trembling and her heart bursting out of her chest. Her lip quivvered and one thought flashed through her mind repeatedly.

He loves me back

He loves me back!

She gripped the edge of the bed, her legs trembling as she placed each letter back in thier origional place, not wanting Ron to know his privacy had been invaded. She steadied herself as she thought back across the letters. All the heartache, all the longing and misery, all the fear of rejection, and all along you felt the same the whole time! Why in God's name did you never tell me? We could have been together by now, we could have been together for years !

Hermione closed the door of the bedside table and straightened everything up, steadying herself as she heard footsteps approaching, her mind going into overload. She kneeled on the floor and began folding clothes into a pile, determined to look casual. She smoothed her hair down and took soft even breaths.

"Hey Hermione, my mum said did you want a drink bringing up" none other than Ron entered the room, dust covering his face and in his hair. He was holding a sponge and some of Mrs. Weasley's scouring cleaner. And he looked better than Hermione had ever seen him.

"Umm.. yes Ron that would be great thanks", here face heating up considerably. For God's sake Hermione just be calm, everything's going to be fine!

"What do you want, any requests?" He cheekily grinned, leaning against the doorframe.

"What ever your having, just make sure there's ice, ", she fanned her self with her hand.

"Do you want to take a break, you dont have to finish this off you know, I've made most of this mess, to be honest , you shouldnt have to clean it up".

"Oh Ron dont fib, I know how filthy these rooms were stop being so modest. "

"Yeah, well, I'll come and help you in a bit if you want, I've nearly finished upstairs and Fred and George are being a nightmare, mum's going to have to hire a babysitter" he scowled.

Hermione laughed " Oh Ron, there not that bad, I wish i had siblings"

"Live a day of my life and you'd be taking that back" he snorted.

Hermione stood up and stretched, yawning and giving Ron a weak smile.

"Hermione, you look shattered, have a break for a bit we could go and have a game of exploding sn-"Ron stopped dead on his sentence, his face draining of all its colour.

Hermione followed his line of sight and nearly shouted out in shock , her heart now beating faster than ever before.

The picture of them in first year was still on the bed, in her rush she'd forgotten to put it back.

Ron looked back at her shock across his face and started to splutter as his face turned a colour of deep puce.

Guilt and shame overcame Hermione as she braced herself for the worst.
