Hanging By a Moment
By Pinball Wizard Shankz
Ronald Weasley sat quietly at his
desk at the Burrow, tapping his quill on the parchment. Hermione would be coming over at
anytime. But due to their recent
fights, she concluded that she's uninvited and will be supposedly visiting
Ginny, if I mention Viktor Krum once.
Which apparently will be hard, being he wanted to talk to Hermione. Pity Harry couldn't come. Dumbledore had forbidden him to visit us, in
the Wizard World, because of You-Know-Who.
Ron sighed and looked over at the windowsill. Rain.
Still. The little bit of
information he had received from Professor Trelawney in the last two years were
coming to him, and he had a feeling; today wouldn't be very good.
Just as he was dozing himself to
sleep, he heard a knock at the door, and his ears perked up. He jumped out of his desk, and ran down the
steps, taking three at a time, when he reached the door, he wiped away the
sweat on his face from nerves and running at such a speed, and took a deep
breathe. Turning the door, he saw
Hermione Granger, his second best friend, dripping wet.
"Hi Hermione." Ron managed to
squeak. Something looked different
about her…she was somewhat…Lavender-and-Parvati--ized.
"Hullo." She smiled, rocking her
feet back in forth. "Can, I…I dunno,
come in? It's sorta wet."
"Oh! Yeah, okay, sorry." Ron said,
bending down and taking her suitcases.
After the Weasley family 'meet and greet' Ron managed to catch up with
Hermione reading in Ginny's bedroom.
"So…how was your summer so far?" Ron
asked slowly, making sure Hermione didn't jump him and kill him.
"Good." She said looking up from her
book.
"Did you-"
"Yes, I went to Bulgaria. Ron, if you're going to make a big deal of
this, than you may as well-"
"Fine, I'll leave."
"That's not what I was going to
say."
"Fine, then I'll get up and move my
bum into the next room." Getting up, he was stopped. Hermione grabbed Ron's arm, and sat him down.
"I meant," Hermione started. "Are you listening to me? Or I will kick you
out." Ron nodded. "I meant you might as
well ask me."
It took Ron awhile, but he managed
to ask her. "Are you still with Viktor."
"We never were." Hermione replied
shortly. "He thought we were, but never in my mind, no. But he did 'break it off' with me yesterday,
if that's what you meant."
"Why didn't you like him?"
Desperate for changing
Starving for truth
I'm closer to where I started
Chasing after you
I'm falling even more in love with you
Letting go of all I've held onto
I'm standing here until you make me move
I'm hanging by a moment here with you
"He is famous, and rich."
"Maybe so, too much." Hermione half smiled.
"And if you must know, I was…in love with someone else" She said the last few words so
quietly, that Ron couldn't hear her.
Forgetting all I'm lacking
completely incomplete
I'll take your invitation
you take all of me now...
"What?" he asked, eyes widening. He
knew what she said. She was in love
with someone else.
"I'm not telling. If you couldn't hear it, it's your fault."
"Oh, I heard it. I'm wondering…."
"No! I'm not telling you."
I'm falling even more in love with you
Letting go of all I've held onto
I'm standing here until you make me move
I'm hanging by a moment here with you
I'm living for the only thing I know
I'm running and not quite sure where to go
And I don't know what I'm diving into
Just hanging by a moment here with you
"Is it Harry?"
"No."
"Am
I close?"
"Somewhat."
"Is
their hair colour lighter than Harry's?"
"Yes."
"Are
they…older?"
"Yes."
"Is
it George?"
"No."
"Am
I close?"
Hermione
was quiet and finally answered, "Yes."
There's nothing else to lose
There's nothing else to find
There's nothing in the world
That can change my mind
There is nothing else
There is nothing else
There is nothing else
Finally, she does love me. It can't be Charlie; he just got married
last week. Not Percy, he's
engaged. Bill's got that Egyptian girl,
Fred's got Angelina and I reckon George fancies Alicia. That would only leave me. Ron thought.
"Is he a Gryffindor?"
"Yes."
"Is he a Weasley?"
"Do I have to answer that?"
"There is six Weasley boys, you know."
"Fine. Yes,
it is a Weasley."
"Is it me?"
Desperate for changing
Starving for truth
I'm closer to where I started
Chasing after you....
"What?"
"Well, I don't want to play that guessing
game anymore."
"Huh?"
"I'm falling even more in
love with you

"Ron…I…"
"Is it me? Because if it isn't, don't tell me, I'll just leave this room,
and it never happened. I don't want to
risk our friendship for that."
"Oh, Ron!" Hermione flung her arms around his neck and gave him a hug,
almost suffocating him.

"So, is it?"
"You
tell me?"
And
she took her hand and put it on his face, and pulled it towards her, closing
her eyes, she slid her arm behind his head, and kissed him.
"Mione..I…."
"Me
too, Ron, me too."
A/N- that had
to be the fluffiest thing I've ever written.
I do like Reviews. This story
was words 980 long.
