Harry's PoV
I'm getting married to Hermione. Who'd have thought? Not me. I always thought Ron and Hermione would end up together. And they did, for a while. It was all 'hot and steamy' as the twins put it. And then they broke up. I never found out exactly why. Just like that. But they stayed close. Almost as if they were together. But without the snogging.
I remember asking Ron about it just after they broke up. Why they broke up and why they were avoiding each other now. His answer was along the lines of: 'We just broke up. It wasn't working out. But we aren't avoiding each other. We're just both very busy with our own personal stuff.'
They were so avoiding each other. And that's when I lost it. The next time I saw them 'avoiding' each other I gave them a piece of my mind. I think I scared them.
I admit that sometimes I am a bit jealous of their relationship. There was a time when I wondered if Ron wasn't gay. The way he acted with her, so close. But I can assure you he isn't. Urgh, walking in on Ron and what's her name cleared that up a long time ago. It scarred me for life so I made an agreement with him; whenever one of us is going to snog someone they tell the other where they are going. This way we won't walk in on each other anymore.
I think Hermione gave him an ego-boost or something. He sort of became a Casanova after that. It was that or he finally figured out how to work the Weasley Charm. Maybe he had been taking lessons from Bill?
But no matter who he was seeing. Hermione always came first. Once even before Quidditch. She was really down and needed his advice and comfort. So he skipped Quidditch. It was a practice but still, it's the thought that counts, right? He still jokes that that was the hardest decision of his life.
And I'm saying it again. I'm getting married to Hermione. You know, I can't even remember when I started liking her. Somewhere around 7th year I think. Certainly not before my fifth year. I remember the Tri-wizard tournament and how Ron and I fought. And how I wanted to throttle her most of the time then. She did help me, but you know. Only having her around without Ron to balance it out wasn't very nice. To say at least.
But when Ron and 'Mione started dating I begun to see her differently. Don't get me wrong, I wasn't jealous. Started seeing her as not only a know-it-al but something different. It must've been the way she acted or something.
That's what I like most about her; the way she acts. Her motherly doing. (aka fussing over us) She makes me feel safe when everything around us is not. And that's the best feeling in the world.
