It's so strange the way I feel… At the same time I'm feeling that's no way I can be happier than I'm now, I still remember that there is a abysm between me and her…

Ever since last year, at the school ball, when there was the idea of inviting her to the ball, I realized what I really felt about her. I saw that I love Hermione Granger.

I tried to fight it during the year, 'cause I knew she would never see me as anything different than a friend. So I cherished my love with every word she directed to me. When our skins touched, involuntarily, it was the most special and wonderful moments of my day.

I know I should have told her how I really feel, but I just couldn't find the courage. She is smarter than I'll ever be, and probably she only sees me as a friend. I would scare her, and I would lose every smile I get from her… every tender word of comfort. I just don't know how to live without this. It's essential to me, like the beats of my heart.

It was with sadness that I said goodbye to her when the Hogwarts Express arrived at the Plataform 9 and 3/4. I couldn't even imagine how would be like to spend some weeks away from Hermione. Maybe she knew what I was feeling, maybe she was only being kindly, but after our goodbye, she came close too me – a little shy, I could tell – and let her lips touch my cheek. I don't know what I did afterward. When I realized what had happened, she had already gone through the barrier into the muggle world and away from me. I was just trying to keep the memory of that kiss. It would be my best memory of Hermione during the long weeks that followed.

Now we are at our fifth year at Hogwarts and not even the summer break made any difference for my feelings about her. Actually, I think I love her even more than before. That kiss marked me as a tattoo, and it helped to make up my mind. I would tell her everything, after the charm class.

Unfortunately, charm classes were the last of the period. I had to wait, trying to control my nerves and my heart. That put me behind in the potion classes, but I couldn't mind with the points, or the lecture Professor Snape gave me. The next class would be charms.

I didn't realized how long the classes were until that day, but it ended, eventually. Hermione packed her school bag quickly and left for the library. Without even picking up my books, I ran after her.

- Hermione… Wait a second…

- Hi! What's it?

She smiled at me… at me only. For a moment, I felt as if there was only her and me in the whole World.

- Er… It's that… well… I…

Suddenly I hear a voice behind me.

- Hi Mione! I got the book. Let's go?

The smiles she gave then was different from every other smile I ever seen in her face. There was something that hurt me, as if there was a torn in my heart. I could see intimacy in her smile. She turned her eyes back at me again.

- So… what did you want to tell me?

Suddenly, nothing that I intended to do made any sense anymore.

- Nothing important, Hermione. I don't want to interrupt anything… You probably have other things to do…

I turn around, so she can't see the tears that fall from my eyes against my will, but I still could hear what she said when I walked away.

- I saw that you and Harry weren't paying much attention at potion class.

- Ah, Mione, I like when you explain the subject to me. It's more fun. But what Neville wanted to say to you?

- I don't know. You saw… he just left…

That's it, you didn't get it wrong… it was Neville that was in love with Hermione. Please, Ron/Mione fans, accept my apologies, but I thought the idea very interesting… And no, I don't pretend to continue this story… I'm very busy with my fics in Portuguese. Oh, and don't forget! Read and Review!
