Too late, someone already was thinking this early in the morning.
Unfortunately, it was Ron.
"Hermione?" Ron called.
I didn't answer.
"Hermione, you can't hide forever, you know." Ron said, his footsteps echoing in the empty library.
I still didn't reply.
"There really isn't anything you should be afraid of!" Ron said, getting irritated.
"Yes there is." I squeaked.
"Where are you?" He asked.
"Over by this large pile of books." I said, shoving one off the top so he'd hear the noise.
I could see the top of his head as he jogged over.
"Hermione, come here." He said, taking my hand.
He sat me down on a leather chair by the entrance.
"What do you know that I don't about this mysterious gold letter?" He asked.
"I don't know anything about the gold letter. Someone must really like you though!" I said, smiling.
"Yeah, someone must. To go through all that trouble." He admitted.
I nodded eagerly.
"Say… look at this letter, and look at your Charms homework." He said slyly.
I gulped and took them from him.
"T-they look nothing alike. Look at how this person dots their 'i'." I stammered.
"Perhaps you're right… perhaps they do look nothing alike." He said, and he took them from me in a mourning fashion. He was trying to trick me.
I can't let him trick me. I can't let him trick me. I can't let him trick me! I thought.
"Ron?" I asked as he left.
He turned around.
"Yeah?" He asked, still standing in his 'walking' position.
"There… is something I know you don't." I confessed.
I could almost detect a glint of victory and love in his eyes.
"Go on." He said.
"I know who wrote the letter." I said, dangerously close to tears.
"Who?" He said softly.
"It was I." I said barely above a whisper. Tears spilled over as I quickly hid my face from him.
"I knew it was you!" Ron said joyfully.
"How can you be so happy about this?" I said, still drying my eyes.
"Well… maybe I can't put into words how I feel about you, but maybe this'll do it."
He moved so his face was visible to mine. He cupped his hand under my chin and lifted my face towards his. It was the most beautiful moment of my life. All thoughts and feelings whirled around me as we kissed. I broke it when I heard a noise.
"What?" Ron asked, breathless.
"Nothing." I said.
"I love you, Herm."
"Love you too, Ron."
