The Secret Admirer
Chapter 4
Ron's Confession to Hermione

Hermione's POV

"I have something I need to ask you about, but not in here," Ron said. He looks really nervous.

"The Library. With it being the end of Fall term, it'll be practically deserted."

"Good idea," Ron said.

The two of them left the Gryffindor Common Room and headed for the library.

"Is this something about Harry?" Hermione asked.

Ron just nodded his head as they continued down the hallway to their destination.

"You normally talk to him about things more often than you do me."

"Can we just get to the library?" They passed by a few different groups of students still on their way.

Geez. Something's really getting to Ron. Maybe he's worried about Harry. Maybe he agrees with me that Harry's taking Voldemort much too lightly.

They finally arrived at the library and as Hermione had predicted, it was desserted. Ron and Hermione none the less headed for a rather secluded corner, just in case someone did decide to drop by.

"Okay, Ron, what is it?"

"Well, it's kind of hard to explain," he started.

"Then start from the beginning," she suggested.

"No, that would take ages too long. It's not so much as being hard to explain, but more of hard to tell." Ron was obviously very nervous about the subject he was trying to explain because he was starting to sweat and began pacing.

"Are you jealous because Harry's got a secret admirer?"

"No."

"Then what is it? C'mon Ron you can tell me. I'm one of your best friends if you haven't forgotten."

"I'm not jealous because I'm the one that wrote the letter," he finally said.

Hermione gasped. "Ron, what a dirty trick! And to think you tried to blame it on Seamus and Dean." Hermione began to walk away when Ron grabbed her by the arm.

"No, you don't understand. I wrote the letter because that's how I feel about Harry. I've fallen in love with him." He let go of Hermione's arm and looked at the ground. "You're probably utterly disgusted and repulsed by me so just go on and finish planning your holiday."

"Oh, Ron." She hugged him. "I'm not disgusted or repulsed by you. It's wonderful, but you have to let Harry know."

"That's why I asked to speak with you in private. I don't know how."

A/N: Okay that was interesting wasn't it? Ha, I doubt it but who am I the worst critic of my own work to judge? That's for the readers so please review.
