Chapter Seven:
Confession
That evening Hermione sat alone in her room contemplating the event of the morning. Ron had not spoken to her for hours and she was crying.
"Why did Ron have to be so stupid. We are only friends, and always will be only friends. And we already have enough problems being stuck here in the past. God, why does he have to be so stupid!!!" she fumed. At that moment she heard the doorknob turn, and then she caught a glimpse of fiery red hair.
"Her, Hermione?" she heard someone stammer. She chose to ignore him though. "Hermione please listen to me."
Hermione turned her chair away from him, and began to recite her arithmancy facts hoping that when she returned to Hogwarts she would not have fallen completely behind.
Ron stormed across the room, and clasped her wrist in his hand. "You are so stubborn, and so unforgiving!!!"
"What Ron, is your goal to completely confuse me? God, you could ruin our friendship with your lust for me!"
Ron felt like he had been slapped in the face. "Lust!!!" he roared. Then he glared at her, "Well you didn't seem to mind me almost kissing you this morning!"
"Oh Ron please. I don't need this right now. Just go away."
Ron began to loosen his grip on her. "If that's what you really want."
Hermione turned to face him, and there were tears in her eyes.
"Oh God, I didn't mean to do it Herm, I just lost control."
Hermione forced a smile. "Ron just leave me alone for awhile, I need to figure out how we are going to get out of here, and how to maintain our friendship."
Ron lifted her face to his, his eyes glanced down at her dark chocolate pools in her eyes, and then his lips seized hers.
Hermione pulled away shortly after, breathless, ands watched as Ron retreated. "There's something for you to think about." But Hermione had followed him, and she intercepted him at the door. She cradled his face in her hands, and then brought his lips down to hers. Their kiss was passionate, and Ron broke it only to trail his lips down her neck, and then he held her close for a long time.
"Hermione, I love you," he murmured.
"I love you too." And he kissed her again. She felt his arms tighten around her waist, and hers around his neck.
"Watch it Hermione, I don't need you to choke me," his voice was husky, and she laughed slightly, and then they walked downstairs to eat dinner.
