Chapter 3- Thinking back

~* Ron's P.O.V of the situation *~

Ron stood gazing at them in disbelief, although it wasn't a complete surprise to him, he always knew some day they would realize what was meant to be. Sure he wished that it were him instead of Harry, but he already disserted him once before, he wasn't about to go and do it again. He would just have to deal with it and hope not to get left out. Though from this moment on, things would definitely be different. 'Don't lose your bloody sanity Ron, you knew this day would come sooner or later' the little voice in his head said. 'They were made for each other, can't you see the love in their eyes!' the little voice protested. 'You knew it would happen, the signs were everywhere. The little kiss at the train station at the end of their forth year, the 'make-me-want-to-puke' smiles they continuously gave each other. Don't act so surprised, Harry deserves some happiness in his life' the voice continued. Ron whacked the side of his head, trying to make the little voice shut up because he knew it was right. 'Harry needs Hermione, and not just as a friend' the little voice whispered in his mind.

"Shut up" shouted Ron, making Harry and Hermione exchanged puzzled looks. 'Jeez don't have a cow, I'm just trying to tell you that they deserve to be happy' said the little voice once again.

"I know, I know," said Ron a bit too loudly. Harry and Hermione once again exchanged puzzled looks and took a step back away from Ron. However being this close to Harry and remembering what had happened only moments ago left Hermione's knee's on the weak side, causing her to fall backwards, but luckily Harry stuck his arms out just in time to catch her. He steadily brought her back to her feet, but not removing his arms from around her waist.

"Thanks," she said shakily, gazing into his sparkly emerald green eyes. Harry just stood there, holding her in his arms, grinning from ear to ear.

"Your welcome," he finally choked out.

Too wrapped up in the essence of each other to notice Ron had come back to earth until he finally screamed, "HELLLOOO!!! There is another person here! Please don't pull the goo-goo eyes when I'm around or I'm afraid I might get sick!" After catching his breath from screaming too much he finally broke out into a huge grin. "It's about time you two got together," he stated.

"Y-You mean you're not mad?" Harry choked out.

"Of course I'm not mad, its about time you two realized you were practically made for each other" said a very energetic Ron all the while thinking he was going insane.

"Oh Ron! You're the best!" Hermione said excitedly, jumping at Ron wrapping her arms around him in a big bear hug.

"I know, and don't ever forget either" said Ron, his face turning slightly pink.

"Hey, what about me?" asked Harry questioningly, but with a smirk on his face.

Hermione released herself out of Ron's grip and turned to face Harry, "You'll just have to wait your turn Mr. Potter," she said with a mischievous grin on her face.

"Oh I will, will I Ms. Granger?" he said with the same grin Hermione had plastered on her face.

Hermione walked over to him, wrapping her arms around his neck, "Shut up and kiss me Potter," she said grinning.

"Yes Ma'am" he replied moving his arms to around his waist pulling her to him.

"And that would be my cue to leave, see you guys later" Ron said embarrassingly. As he walked through the portrait leading to the hallways, he stuck his head back in the door and said, "Behave you two," and with that he left.

"What do you think he meant by that?" asked Harry with a slight smirk.

"Ugh. as I said before, Shut up and kiss me Potter!" replied Hermione. Harry didn't even bother answering, he knew he had to do what she said or there would be major consequences to be paid. Harry tightened his grip around her waist, moving one hand to cup Hermione's face. They both slowly leaned into each other, the other holding them steady. Hermione couldn't take it any more, she grabbed Harry's collar and pulled his lips onto hers. Harry was surprised by Hermiones sudden forcefulness but he wasn't complaining. After a few minutes of intense snogging (or whatever you may call it) they finally broke away from each other, but still enclosed in the others arms. Both faces red as cherry's, breathing heavily, but both smiling like crazy.

Breaking the silence, "I love you Hermione, I always have, I. just never had the courage to tell you," said Harry intently.

Hermione smiled and replied, "You, Harry Potter, the Harry Potter that saved my life hundreds of times, the Harry Potter that defeated You-Know- Who on countless occasions. Oh hell you big git! I love you too Harry." And with that, they both smiled and went in for another intense kiss.
