"Ok well please tell me" Hermione sat across from Ron waiting for him to
respond. Ron sat with a dazed glare on his face because he didn't know
exactly how to tell her what he had to say. He knew he had to tell her, his
life was going downhill and that everything he wanted was taken away from
him. even her. The trouble was he couldn't find the proper words, after a
minute of searching he felt explaining it to her the way it formed in his
head. "Ok, this is the only way I can say this, my life is going straight
to the bottom. All the things I ever loved are gone and I can't seem to
find a way to get them back." Ron said quietly to Hermione.
"What do you mean Ron? What sort of things?" She asked Ron swallowed hard.
He had to tell her, he had already started there was no turning back now.
He glanced at the floor,
"Things like. you," He started and looked up to Hermione she opened her
mouth as if she getting ready to say something "No Hermione just. hear me
out." He told her "I know it's not what you want to hear because you're
with Harry and all but. I told Harry everything and he just took all of
what I said and threw it away. He had the audacity to go after you after I
clearly told him for 4 years that. well. that I love you Hermione." Ron
finished. He was starting to shiver because he was so nervous waiting to
see what her reaction would be.
Hermione took a minute until what Ron said finally sunk in. She started to cry she put her hands up to her face so Ron couldn't see but he had already tried to calm her down. "Don't cry please Hermione I didn't mean to make you cry." He said. "Ron you have no clue what you just did to me." She said and cried even harder than before. Ron looked confused "What did I do? Hermione look at me," He pulled her face up so he could hear her clearly when she spoke "what did I do to you?" he asked once again. Hermione wiped some of the tears away "Why did you wait so long to tell me this? Do you know how long I was waiting for that? Huh? You have no clue," she said tearing up again " 3 years I've been waiting, only because I thought you liked me and then I finally gave up thinking if I hadn't gotten you by now then why try anymore. Harry just so happened to be there every time I cried after the usual bickering we that did." She wiped more tears "After a while I thought well if you saw me with Harry then maybe you'd step in and just say something and then we'd be together but what I thought was wrong and now." She shook her head "just nevermind Ron." She finished. Ron had never felt this bad in his life, he didn't like the fact that Hermione put the blame all on him. "Did you have feelings for me also?" He asked. She wiped her face once more. "Yes. I did" she responded and put her head back down. Ron looked at her thinking of what a jerk he must have been to her. He wanted to hold her and make her stop crying and kiss her and say everything was going to be all right. It was worth a try maybe if he stepped in now maybe she'd go for him. He placed his hand under her chin and moved in and kissed her softly on the lips. He waited for a response and a few second later he got one. Hermione had slowly placed her hand on his neck and pulled him in closer for a more passionate kiss. He felt so good at this point that he was sort of glade he told her what was wrong.
After a minute of kisses he felt Hermione pull back and he opened his eyes to look at her. She looked scared and hurt at the same time. "Ron we. I can't do this." She said looking him straight in the eyes. "I thought you said that if I stepped in that, "Ron started but Hermione took over. "That was before Ron. Now is too late, I love Harry now and I'm not letting anything come between us. Not now I can't afford to be depressed again for another year Ron, I'm sorry goodbye." And with that Hermione left the common room leaving Ron dumbfounded and empty inside. He knew it was too good to be true.
