a/n: Sorry it took me so long to get this up, I've been kinda busy....and also to the one person who agreed that Lauren's chapter was bad, that was just totally rude of you...If you are going to be like that I'd rather you not review, because we wouldn't do that to you, maybe we have consciences though, But really it can hurt people's feelings, I almost deleted 'Sweet Secrets' half way through because of it.I may seem mad, but that's because I despise rude people, we work hard to keep this story updated, even though we are very busy, so if a chapter is short, please don't be all snooty. And keep in mind that everything in this story is planned out already, so everything that happens has a reason.....Please don't think this is aimed at all of you, because it isn't, we love our reviewers, but we hate flamers.Thanks.
Disclaimer: No, Lauren nor I are J.K....I would write this longer...but I am in no mood for it.^_^
~~Together at Last~~
Chapter 12: Rough Realizations
After a while, when Ron knew his sister was all the way asleep, He went back to his room, he let out a sigh and fell on the bed, beside Hermione.
Neither of them spoke for a few minutes.
"This is terrible...." said Hermione, quietly.
"Harry is going to get what's coming to him in the morning" said Ron, defensivly
"Oh, no he isn't, Ron...you are going to stay out of it, It's their bussiness" she said seriously.
"Yeah, but it's my sister, and he broke her heart!" he retorted
"It's still none of your bussiness....you don't even know why they broke up." said Hermione
"Yeah, I know it doesn't make any sense, they where perfectly happy a few days ago."
Hermione nodded..
"Why would he break up with her?" he asked
"He probably has a good reason." she said
"No reason is good enough to make my baby sister cry." concluded Ron
Hermione kissed him on the cheek and wrapped her arms around him, laying her head on his chest.
"I've got to talk to him in the morning, rationally, mind you...unless he has a lame excuse."said Ron
Hermione just sighed, she knew that she couldn't change his mind.
"Remember that we don't want everyone mad at each other.... " said Hermione
"Harry should have realized that before he did this.." said Ron
"Ron, it has nothing to do with you, It's not like you forcing them together is going to do any good" said Hermione.
"I never said I was doing that.." said Ron, defensivly
"Well, lets just sleep and then you can talk to him in the morning about it." said Hermione
"Okay Hermione, I don't think it'd be best for me to talk to him tonight anyway"
They both fell asleep in each others arms, Both feeling happy and guilty at the same time, Happy that they had each other, and guilty of the same thing.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hermione woke to Ron getting up.He had a determined look on his face.
"You going to talk to Harry?" she asked groggily.
"That is my plan.." he said
"Your not going to start any problems with him, are you?" she asked nervously.
"Unless he starts in first, I just want an explanation."answered Ron
"Ron, you don't need to go dragging this out to be more than it is, honestly.... "warned Hermione
"I am just going to talk to him.." assured Ron
"I want all our freinds at our wedding..remember that" she said
"I know.." said Ron, and went to the door.
Hermione let out an exasperated sigh as her stubborn fiance exited the room.
Ron found Harry downstairs, he had his things packed beside the couch, Ron guessed he was leaving.
"Look, Ron, before you start in, just let me explain" said Harry, knowing Ron all to well.
"You broke my sister's heart, what is there to explain?"said Ron with a snort.
"I didn't want to, but I think it's best that it happened now, before it got any more serious." said Harry
"I thought you loved her,Harry!"
"I love Ginny with all my heart....But things where complicated"
"So, just when things get complicated, you just break it off?" Ron asked incrediously.
"Ginny is still in school, I won't see her for a whole year, do you know how many things can change in a year?" asked Harry seriously.
Ron thought back to last year when he had dated Lavender, but dumped her for Hermione...but that was totally different..he liked Hermione for years, just like Ginny loved Harry for so long, He could feel her hurt, he felt the same way when Hermione decided to break it off last year when things where 'complicated'...It didn't last long, but this was different. Harry was leaving, Ginny was going to school...He had to get use to them dating, and now he'd have to get use to them breaking up.
"She loves you Harry..." said Ron, quietly.
"This breakup wasn't because I don't love her...I do..I just don't think either of us can go a whole year ....long distance relationships never work, and plus, Ginny deserves to live life, she has spent half of her life wanting to be with me, and I want her to move on and maybe find someone better, I know if we stayed together she would resent me for it.She deserves the best, and I don't think I can give it to her." said Harry simply.
"But if you love her and she loves you, then the best thing for her is for you two to be together" said Ron
"This isn't like you and Hermione, You guys are just meant to be...But I don't think me and Ginny wan to get married right out of school, I know I don't..I am starting Quidditch season soon and I will be traveling alot, I'll never be home, and she'll be all by herself most of the time, I can't do that to her." said Harry
"Your choosing Quidditch over my sister?" aksed Ron
"Ron, you are missing the point completely, she is going to be gone for a year, I am going to be traveling with the Quidditch team, we will both be meeting new people and I think it'd be better if we both weren't tied down in a relationship. I explained all this to her, and she agreed with me" said Harry
"She agreed with you?" asked Ron, making sure he heard right.
"yes...we both agreed that maybe when she is out of school and everything that maybe we can try it again..." said Harry
Ron didn't know what to say, If Ginny agreed with him,well, there wasn't more to say.Although Ron knew they where perfect together and they would be depressed without each other.
"Okay then....I am going to go eat breakfast..I hope you know that your making a huge mistake, you'll never get a girl to love you as much as Ginny" said Ron
"I guess only the future holds that answer, well..I best be going....tell everyone i said bye, and don't forget to send me an invitation to that wedding of yours, I'll see you soon." said Harry and with that he disapparated.
Ron looked on, as he sat on the couch, he was just shocked that this hapend, they where so happy a few days ago.
Soon, He was accompanied by Hermione as she silently sat next to him on the sofa and layed her head on his shoulder.She took his hand in hers.
"You would never leave me would you?...even if things got complicated?" asked Ron finally
"I wouldn't be engaged to you if I thought otherwise" she smiled up at him, he kissed her forehead as a reply.
"I just still can't believe it happened.." he said a few minutes later.
"Maybe we should go eat breakfast and cheer you up, we have a lot to do today..." she said, trying to cheer him up.
They then made their way to the kitchen, Ron thankful that he had someone that cared so much.
a/n: that's the end of that chapter....please review!!!
