Feedback: Any you're willing to give, on- or offlist.
Spoilers: Knowledge of all four books is a good thing.
Disclaimer: I own nothing, not even this computer. *Especially* not Hermione or Ron, which belong to JK Rowling.
Summary: D'you think Hermione *wants* to like Ron?
Author's Note: This is unbeta'd, just proofed. It's also extremely short.
Dedication: To my best guy friend, the inspiration for this ficlette. The jerk.
Ugh. I hate him, I honestly do. This isn't fair. He's such a… no. I'm not going to say it, I'm not even going to think it. Unlike *some* people, *I* can express myself without profanity. I am articulate. And eloquent.
I really, really, really hate him.
How dare he? How dare *I*? I always thought my brain was logical. I like being logical. This is not logical!
Okay. Okay, I can handle this. I just need to breathe, and then think this through.
He's not good-looking. He's so thin and gangly, looks like he doesn't get enough to eat. His hair is a funny colour, and sticks up at weird angles. He's too pale, and he has too many freckles.
But the arch of his eyebrows is… graceful. And he has nice lips. Really nice lips. And… ugh.
More logic! He never thinks before he speaks. Never. Hot-blooded is an understatement; he gets riled up far too easily. He thinks school is a big joke.
But he thinks quickly in an emergency. He's very protective of those he cares about. He cares about *me*. He makes me laugh.
And he makes me cry.
This is going to go away. It has to.
