"Everybody Hurts" ( By "WhoEverSaidLifeWasFair".

A/N: Yep, finally a second chapter for Everybody Hurts, in my opinion, my best Ron/Hermione fic... anyways... R&R !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter or this song by The Corrs.

Oh shit !!!!

Ron sat in the boys toilets, completely at loss for everything.

What a load of bollocks, - he thought.

And he was quite right to be so upset:

Hermione, after having a big argument with him, running away from him, and succeeding in only hurting herself, had discovered what Ron felt for her.

He had given himself away by, when he thought she was asleep in Hospital Wing, kissing her... Right there and then !! What had he been thinking of? What could possibly had made him do that? Now he would never be able to look at her in the face... Never...

He wondered if he should tell Harry; and even if he didn't look forward to it, he felt like he had to explain it to someone, at least to feel more at ease with himself, but if he told someone in his family, some Weasley, they wouldn't take him seriously, or would tell the whole school about it... And that was the last thing he wanted.

All he wanted now was to go back, to never have kissed her...

But on the other hand...

Maybe...

But no - he brushed that thought away.

Hermione would never like him.

NEVER.

He walked slowly away from everything.

From the toilets, from the Hospital Wing Corridor, from Hogwarts...

He came to a stop beside the lake, and kicked a bit of loose soil into the lake, watching as it sank, and the Giant Squid bubbling angrily.

He looked up at the Castle, and could see clearly the windows in Hospital Wing.

The bright white curtains where closed, and he found himself wishing they were open, so he could see Hermione.

***

He wasn't quite sure how much time he spent beside the lake, thinking about what he should do.

He just knew that when finally it had been dark and cold for a long time, he decided to make his way to the Gryffindor Common Room.

As he entered through the Fat Lady's Portrait, he noticed how very hungry he was; he hadn't eaten a thing since breakfast.

He walked through the deserted Common Room and sat himself down in front of the fire, rubbing his stomach.

A tiny voice came from behind him, making him jump.

It was Hermione, she offered him some food without looking at him, and sat down beside him.

"We have to talk" she said quietly.

Ron didn't say anything.

Finally Hermione couldn't stand it anymore:

"Oh Ron! Aren't you going to say anything?" she asked, exasperated.

There was a pause.

"What would you like me to say?"

"I don't know Ron, I don't know, why do you think I'm asking you?"

Another pause.

"I guess you want to know... Why? Right?"

Hermione didn't answer, she stared at the floor.

"I'm sorry, - I really am... If I had known you weren't asleep I..." - he didn't finish.

Hermione urged him on: "You what Ron? I mean - what were you thinking of... To - to kiss me like that... I... I don't know what I'm supposed to do or say!"

Ron winced as if she had muttered some curse, but still didn't answer.

"Ron?"

"I dunno man... It just seemed like the right thing to do..."

"The right thing to do? So it was only because of that?" she said, seeming exasperated.

Ron didn't answer, and Hermione left in a huff, leaving him to puzzle over the reason why he had really kissed her...

You know perfectly well the reason why you did it Ron Weasley! he thought to himself, you know exactly what you were thinking of... You wouldn't have bloody kissed her if you didn't like her... he paused, swallowed hungrily at some food, and continued, realising what these thoughts clearly meant...

"I'm in trouble now..." he murmured to himself.

"I can't believe it, I'm in love with Hermione".

A/N: Hahahaha!! Another cliffie!!! I had allready written this, but I wasn't at all pleased with it, 'cos it all finished nice and dandy, as allways... And I wanted to make it longer... 'Cos all my fics seem to end the same, and they're too short (at least the R/Hm ones).

This chappie is much too short, but it's the best I could do at the moment... My writer's block is getting fond of visiting my mind... GRRRRR!!!!!! Geroff !!!! .

Hopefully next chapter will be posted SOON, and will be LONGER, but with one condition grins evilly i want MORE reviews!!! Lotsa reviews K? If I don't get any reviews, NO MORE STORY !! - well... okay, let's face it... I'd write more of it anyway, 'cos I'm too fond of it.

Anyways, as allways, please REVIEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWW!!!!! ;D

Cheerioooooooooo, *(*whoeversaidlifewasfair*(*.
