Chapter 9:
Hermione finally decided to get up and go down into the common room. She put on her bathrobe and walked downstairs. She sat in a big chair by the fire, thinking.
"Hermione?"
She jumped and spun around, "You scared me!"
Ron was standing behind her chair, "Sorry, I…" He trailed off.
Hermione raised her eyebrows at him.
"I didn't mean to scare you."
Hermione smiled, "It's okay."
Ron smiled crookedly back and pulled a chair up next to Hermione's.
They sat there in silence, occasionally looking at each other; both hoping the other would say something.
"Is everything okay, Ron?" Hermione finally asked looking over at the redhead.
Ron didn't say anything for a few seconds, "Um…I don't know." He looked down at his feet.
A worried look grew on Hermione's face, "Ron, please tell me what's wrong."
"I…" He hesitated, "I love you, Hermione."
Hermione was taken slightly aback, "I, um, I don't know what to say…"
Ron looked extremely upset, "That's what's wrong, Hermione." His voice dropped to a whisper; "You don't love me back…"
A/N: Yes I know! You all hate me now! It's too short! It's a total cliffhanger and I am evil! I will update soon!
