Now, that was a cliffhanger. I'm quickly writing this because there was like 5 reviews in like 10 minutes. I feel so happy right now. I'm so motivated! Okay, I'm going to thank each of you personally below cause you ROCK MY WORLD! I love reviews so much, they are like love! Hehehe, anyway, here you go:

****Disclaimer: I'm not JKR. So, please don't send me fan mail, or try to get me to send you a letter or anything. I mean I will gladly send you an autograph if you want, but I don't own anything but the plot and junk. You know the drill.*****

This is such a sad chapter. I don't like it.



They kissed for about 30 seconds. Harry's tongue explored the inside of Hermione's mouth, darting in and out. Hermione didn't respond but she didn't push him away. She just went kind of limp. They were edging closer together, Harry put his had on the back of Hermione's head, pulling her closer to him. Then Hermione snapped back to reality. She snapped her eyes open "Stop" She managed to say was she pulled away from him.

"Why?" Harry felt suddenly cold and embarrassed.

"I'm married Harry. I don't want this."

"Yes you do, Hermione. I felt it. I felt you want it. You've always wanted it. You're just to scared to admit it. I don't want to burst your bubble, but I want you and your going to have to deal with that."

Harry tried to go in for another kiss on the lips but Hermione turned her head so he gently kissed her cheek.

"I can't Harry. I just cant. And please, stop telling me what I want"

//He's right you know// an annoying voice in the back of Hermione's brain thought //You do want this, you've always wanted this. You think of Harry whenever you kiss Ron you want him more than anything, don't be a fool Hermione. You let Harry go away once, but if you let him go again you'll be alone with Ron forever. I WANT Ron! SHUT UP! I WANT HIM HE'S MINE AND I'm HIS!"//

"Hermione, I'm sorry, are you okay?"

Hermione was sitting with her eyes tightly shut, trying to make sense of the situation. She didn't know what to do.

"Promise you wont do that again."

"I swear I wont make you do anything you don't want to do. I just want you to know I love you. I want you."

"I'm not yours to want."

"I know. And I'll never forgive myself for leaving you. I'll never forgive myself for letting you marry Ron. "

"Harry?" Hermione said weakly as she looked up into his eyes.

"Yes?" Harry felt the blood pump through his veins.

"Can you please do something for me?"

"Anything Hermione!" Harry wasn't lying. He would do anything for her.

"Leave."

Harry gave Hermione a pleading look but realized it was to late. She was gone. She was Ron's. She was too noble to cheat on Ron. She was a good person. Harry felt garbage. It sunk in what he had just done. He had just done something so low, so awful. He had gone behind his old best friends back and kissed his WIFE! And his wife was Hermione. And look what he did to Hermione! The petite brunette looked brave but Harry knew that she was breaking up inside. //I'm an awful person. //

"Sorry" Harry said very quietly and left out the door.

As soon as Hermione heard the door close she started to cry. Big, plump tears ran down her face. Harry was gone, again. He wasn't coming back, he left her again! Why, why was it like this! This wasn't the fairytale she had imagined. First of all, he wasn't on a white horse, and second of all he wasn't so damn selfish about it all. Couldn't he see that she didn't have a choice? She had to say no! It just couldn't happen like that. It wasn't right and she knew it. Ron was a good person! He would never do anything like that to Hermione! //I'm an awful person//



When Harry pulled his car up to his apartment in the Muggle bit of London he felt worse then ever. He couldn't stop himself from loving Hermione. He tried to not like her, but it was impossible. He needed her. But she didn't need him. She had Ron, and Ron was a good person. He was good to her. He provided for her and was a wonderful husband. This was so unfair to Ron. It was unfair to Hermione. It was just so damn unfair! Harry sat in his car for a very long time before getting out. He entered his very messy apartment and fell onto the couch. He turned on the TV. He didn't really notice what he was watching. He just stared blankly ahead and thought of Hermione.

Ron came home late that night again. Hermione was asleep on the couch when he entered their small house. He didn't want to wake her so he quietly picked her up and placed her lightly on their bed. Hermione twitched in her sleep.

"Shhh, its just me love, go back to sleep."

"Ron?" Hermione said groggily

"Yes?"

"I love you."

Ron smiled "Well, I love you too, hon. now go to sleep. Its late"

Hermione nodded, smiled and placed her head back down on her pillow.



The next week at work didn't go well. Both Hermione and Harry were extremely embarrassed about what happened and they didn't want to talk about it. Harry tried to apologize but Hermione stopped him. Hermione didn't think that it was all Harry's fault. Harry thought it was his entire fault. And they both felt completely horrible for Ron. Ron was the innocent victim (if you can call it that) in this situation. They just ignored each other as best they could and worked silently. There were no more lunch breaks or cheerful laughing. It was sad for both of them. They both missed each other. One day Harry came into Hermione's office.

"We need to talk." His eyes were at his feet as he said this. He was too scared to make eye contact with Hermione at this moment.

"Yes, I believe we do" Hermione sounded way to professional.

"Hermione, I'm sorry I ne-"

Hermione interrupted. "No, Harry. Its not you fault."

"Oh, but it is! Don't you see! How can it not be my fault? I KISSED YOU HERMIONE!"

"I know. I'm not stupid.. Its just that.. well, I didn't want to believe it." Hermione said quietly as she looked at her lap.

"But, we can't change the past. We just have to work on the future okay?" No response. "We have to be fair to Ron in this. I'm not going to try anything ever again! I promise. I don't want to put you though that again. I'm not going to hurt you."

"Stop that."

Harry was confused "Stop what?"

"Being so nice!"

Hermione smiled and Harry blushed.
