I do not own Harry Potter, stupid WB and the publishers do, never mind the absolutely wonderful goddess of writing Joanne Kathleen Rowling. Don't sue me please!

I Know He Loves Me

Hermione sat in the large armchair closest to the fire, feeling it's warming heat. Her mind was calm, as was the atmosphere around her. But still, something seemed to nudge her to leave her current peacefulness and face something, something she was now trying to ignore. She gave up and let that nudging feeling give in, reminding her of why she had chosen to come down to the common room so late. The reason was that her dreams were full of restlessness.

They had known each other for five years now, and they were getting too old to continue this cat and mouse game. Who knew when they would find more danger in their path? The way things seemed to go they didn't have much longer. Voldemort had become much more powerful now, he was even more of threat then he was before, which was already dangerous enough. Couldn't he face the truth? Every night Hermione hoped that somehow he would see the light and tell her, he had had so many chances already. The hours he spent in the library with her, the weekends he spent in the dorms with her, even the lunches they'd had… he'd always had a chance. Why couldn't he tell her?

The thought had never occurred to Hermione that she might be the one who needed to tell him, that she had had so many chances. It bothered her that he wouldn't admit it, so it most likely bothered him that she couldn't admit. And all those times that they spent, thinking of how much more they could share if they would just admit it, were really just wasted excuses on how not to tell the other.

It was really a shame. They might never have a chance to tell each other, in fact they wouldn't. Voldemort would get in there way first.

It is really a shame, thought Professor Trelawney, that red head and her would've made such a lovely couple.

Note: I know Trelawney seems out of character, but I think she knows more than she says... so just ignore that factor, k?
