I will not put up a disclaimer anymore!!!

A/N: While most would lie and say that they were working very hard on this chapter and that's why it took so long, I won't lie, I wrote this chapter in probably about 2 hours. I haven't been working much cause I've just been so exhausted, but I have a three day weekend so you can probably expect at least 2 chapters... maybe...

Chapter 12 - A New Revelation

Harry jumped slightly as these words met his ears. He couldn't be hearing right... could he? He turned over quickly and for a split second glimpsed the serious look in Ron's hazel eyes before, before he fully comtemplated what was happening, Ron's lips met his in a sweet and graceful dance of serenity. It seemed so right, and for the first time in his life, Harry felt that things had fallen in to place. Well, it wasn't exactly the first time but you know what I meant...

Ron gently grasped the black of Harry's raven colored hair and pulled him towards him, making their kiss more personal and loving. Their tongues met and a wonderful surge of warm blood spread through Harry's body. This was what he had been missing, it seemed so right. Harry's hand too went to the back of Ron's head, his fingers gently carressing his soft, fiery red hair. He never wanted it to end...

But suddenly Ron jerked away, breaking their lip's seal. Ron's hand dropped, as did Harry's, out of startlement. The boys stared at each other for a solemn moment, Ron's lip trembling slightly. Harry couldn't figure out why.

"Ron..." he asked puzzledly. "Ron what's wrong?"

Ron just stared back at him, a look of almost panic coming over his face. "Hermione..." he said softly.

Harry quirked an eyebrow. "What's going on Ron?"

Ron's face burned a slightly pink. "Hermione..." he muttered again.

Harry was now getting a bit irritated, his lips yearned to be touching Ron's again. "What about her Ron? Spit it out mate!"

"Well... you see... what it is..." Ron looked down at the floor. "Me and 'Mione... we're kinda... you know..."

"No, I don't just say it!"

"She's my girlfriend."

Harry suddenly stopped breathing for a moment and lurched backwards. "What? Why did you never tell me?" There was an angry note in his voice, partially because he felt betrayed, and partially because he felt that the perfect thing in his life (or newest) was suddenly slipping from his grasp.

Ron's face flushed darker red. "We figured that it would be better that way... you know, that way nobody could screw things up for us..." Ron mumbled now, his eyes looking anywhere but into Harry's.

"BETTER THAT WAY?!" Harry positively shouted, "how could it be better to leave you best friend out of your relationship! I wouldn't've have screwed it up!"

"Yes well... it was 'Mione's idea..." Ron sighed.

"Yes well you didn't have to be stupid and go along with it!"

Ron suddenly looked very hurt. His lip trembled more. "Yes well that was before I realized I felt this way!" He shouted back, tears straining his voice. He stood up from where he had sat on the bed beside Harry. "Now I see... I thought that this would be a good time to do this, so maybe you'd realize that you didn't need Malfoy... that there were other people in this world for you... but now I realize, now I realize that that wasn't it at all... I just took the place of him for a bit... I mean nothing to you... I hate you Harry Potter!"
With these words, he turned and sped out of the room, leaving Harry sitting on the bed, his heart in his stomach, looking thunderstruck.
