Summary: cute short...sorry!

Chapter 12:

"Ron...do you really think I'm beautiful?"

He had definetly not been expecting this so he, coughed a bit, and said ,"Sorry?"

She blushed and asked more confidently. "Do you really think im beautiful?"

"Yeah, of course!" he said.

"Why?" she asked incredulously.

"You really have no idea, how beautiful you are do you?"

She blushed and he continued.

"Hermione, there is something I need to tell you..."

She looked at him expectantly.

"The battle is upon us, and I dont know how much longer Im going to live, or if I'm going to live through this at ALL," he chuckled slightly.

"So I need to tell you, Mione, is that...that...I..."

"Yes?"she asked him.

"Is that," he said, "I love you," he closed his eyes and turned away smacking a hand to his forehead.

"What?" she asked unable to believe that he Ron Weasley had just told her, Hermione Granger, that he loved her.

"I love you Hermione, " he said not turning around, "But Im sorry...It's all the right timing, and you dont have to say you love me to just becuase your my friend...I knew this was a mistake, me telling you that I love you. Being and Idiot and thinking...thinking that someone as amazing as you could love a poor, stupid, ugly, git, like me. Im...Im sorry Mione, you dont...I...let's go find Harry." he said and he started walking away, but she grabbed his arm and swung him around to face her.

She had tears in her eyes, tears of happiness, tears of joy, and tears that he would think that she would never love him.

"Ronald Weasley, don't you ever say that again!"

"What, that I love you?"

She ignored him, "You may not have money...but that does not matter, You are smarter than you think, and You are the FARTHEST away from ugly that there is, you may act like a git sometimes...but you are not one! And I have, do , and always will love you Ron."

"So, your saying that you..."

But he was cut off, she had her lips pressed firmly against his. She pulled away and looked at him in the eye, "Im saying that I love you, you git,"

He dropped the fangs and hugged her tight to him.

"Ron?" she asked after a minute of content silence, "I think we should wait,"

"What?" he asked her.

"Well, you know Harry will be...pressured, and I dont want him to think that we are abandoning him."

"Oh, right, well knowing you love me, okay for me ...for now." he said kissing her on the cheek, "Just tell me when your ready Mione...I'll be waiting."

"So you're okay?"

"No, but Harry's my friend and I love him, like a brother,"

"Thank you Ron,"

He nodded and they got up , and together they walked up the tunnel and began to walk back when, from a corner of his eye, he could see a broom leaning on the wall.

"We might need this," he said grabbing it, she smiled at him and nodded.

Harry came around the corner, and said, "Where the hell have you been?!"

"We were in the Chamber of secrets."

"The Chamber of...Wait how did you get it, dont you need to speak parselmouth."

"He did Harry, he did! Show him Ron!" she said exitedly.

Ron did a sort of weird hissing sound, and said, "It's what you did in second year, I kind of copied it."

Harry's POV:
-----------------------

He saw Hermione look at Ron, in a loving and almost yearning way while she said, "He was amazing," she then sighed and said in a wistful manner, "Amazing."

They started off, but Ron stopped then , "Wait! We've forgoten someone!"

"Who?!" Asked Hermione panicky.

"The house elves," he said to her as if it were obvious.

"You mean you should get them fighting?"Harry asked Ron.

"No, I mean we should tell them to get out, before it's to late, we dont want anymore Dobby's do we..." Harry didnt hear the rest of the words that Ron said, he was looking at Hermione, she had a strange look on her face.Then all of a sudden the basilisk fangs came cascading down onto the floor, and Hermione was running full speed toward Ron. She flung her arms around him and kissed him full on the mouth, he responded with such enthusiasm, that he lifted her off the ground.

"Is this the moment?" Harry asked them weakly.

But Hermione didnt care all she knew was that she couldnt wait...and that she loved Ron. more than life itself...and this felt right.

"Oi! There's a war going on here!" Harry yelled.

They broke apart, and looked at him, "I know mate...but it's now or never isnt' it." Ron said. Hermione smiled and looked at Ron.

"Could you just wait until we've found the Diadem." he asked.

"Oh, yeah, right," said Ron, and he set about picking up the fangs with Hermione they were both pink in the face.

When Ron was close enough for Hermione to hear he whispered, "What happened to waiting for Harry's sake?" he asked with a smirk.

"Oh Ron, you know I cant resist you," she said, and blushed deeply.

"Why?"

He looked up briefly and saw that Harry was looking away, and pulled Hermione's face into his hands, and kissed hard on the mouth. When he pulled away her eyes were still closed and she sighed.

"That's exactly why,"
