CHAPTER 5

REVELATIONS

''What's the matter Mione'' Ron said affectionately

''Don't you call me that Ron Weasley'' she snapped, she was very hurt because she had practically told him that she liked him and all he could think about was that stupid broomstick girl.

''Whats wrong with you?'' he asked Hermione, ''Why did you just storm out and leave me?''

Hermione decided to tell Ron how she felt partly because she was sick of hinting it to him, and partly because she was quite drunk.

''Because, I told you who my perfect man would be and then all you could talk about was that girl in your dream.''

''Mio......'' Ron began

''No Ron let me finish'' she interuppted, ''I need to say this now or else I'll never say it. Do you know who the man I was describing was?''

''No'' Ron said meekly, although he had a sneaky suspision that it was Viktor Krum.

''It was you Ron'' she said, finally relieved at getting it out into the open. ''but if you prefer your dream girl, I'll understand.''

''Actually Hermione I would prefer her. Do you know why?''

Hermione looked down to the floor, and feeling herself starting to cry again she shook her head slowly.

''Because she was you, It was you in my dream, you were riding my broomstick with me Mione.''

Hermione looked up into Rons piercing blue eyes and she saw that he was not lying. He looked down at her and kissed her softly, his lips felt as good as she knew they would, she slid her tongue into his mouth and ran it accross his lips lightly. Ron was running his fingers through her now soaking wet hair and his other hand was trailing up and down her back, he heard her moan softly, as they finally pulled away from each other.

''Wow'' said Hermione, ''that was amazing''

''It was, wasn't it'' Ron replied breathlessly. ''Mione, I was wondering um.... will you...will you be my girlfriend?'' he mumbled.

''Don't you think its a bit soon Ron, I mean you only found out you liked me today?'' she answered sensibly.

''No, I've always kind of known that I liked you, because I was jealous when you went to the Yule ball with Viktor, and I always used to get so mad when Malfoy said things about you, it just took that daydream to make me realise it.'' he reassured her, ''But he said, I never even would have guessed that you had liked me as more than just a friend, thats why I never told you about how I felt, until now that is.'' he told her, blushing as he did.

''Yes, I do like you as more than a friend, alot more, I've liked you ever since our second year at Hogwarts. And in answer to your question I would love to be your girlfriend, I just think that it would be best if we wait to see how it goes, before telling Harry and Ginny.

''O.K Mione, whatever you say.'' Ron replied as he pulled her tight into him and started kissing her passionately again. He slid his tongue into her mouth, he wanted to taste her sweet taste, he clasped her face in his hands, needing to feel her soft skin and as she arched her body to get closer to him he let out a low moan, that sounded unlike any other noise he had ever heard himself make before.

***********************************************************

Back at the Three Broomsticks, Harry and Ginny weren't even aware that Hermione and Ron had disappeared. They were sitting very close together at their table holding hands, staring at each other intently.

''You are so beautiful Gin'' Harry said, saying his thoughts outloud which often happened when he was around Ginny.

''Thanks Harry, thats so sweet.'' she replied.

''I love you.'' he said as he suddenly realised that this was the first time he had ever said this to her.

''You do??'' exclaimed Ginny in a high voice

''Of course I do, I've loved you since we first started seeing each other, and probably before then too.'' he whispered softly to her, ''So am I to presume that you feel the same way?''

''Oh Harry, I love you too.'' Ginny managed to squeak this out before Harry grabbed her and kissed her passionately, running his hands up her smooth legs, wondering why he hadn't told her sooner.

*********************************************************

When they had all reached Hogwarts again, Harry and Ginny walking in front of Ron and Hermione, who were trying to hold hands without being seen. The girls went up to the dorm room that they shared, and Harry and Ron went to their dorm room.

''Oh Hermione, that was the best night ever!!'' Ginny squealed to her best friend, who noticed that Ginny was very excited.

''Why, what happened?'' Hermione asked politely, secretly aggreeing with her it had been the best night ever.

''Well, you'll never believe this but, Harry told me that he loved me.''

''Really, awwww thats great Gin.'' Hermione gushed I am so happy for you.

''Herm, I am sure that Ron will ask you out soon, its just that he is so oblivious to everything that isn't Quidditch.'' Ginny said reassuring her friend, who Ginny felt maybe feeling left out.

''What on Earth are you talking about Ginny Weasley, I most certainly do not have feelings of that sort for your older brother'' Hermione lied to her, hoping Ginny wouldn't notice the quiver in her voice as she spoke.

''Oh. I'm sorry, It's just that I thought..............oh I'm sorry, I didn't know.''

''Don't worry about it'' Hermione said soothingly, ''I'm really tired now so I think I'll just go to sleep.''

''O.K then, me too'' Ginny replied, shutting the curtains around her bed and lying down smiling to herself, ready to dream about Harry.

Hermione slowly closed the curtains around her bed and lay back onto her soft bed with a dreamy expression on her face. She held onto Rons jacket tightly and took in the smelt of it, the smell of him, it was intoxicating. She knew that it was going to be hard to hide their relationship from their two best friends, as Ron made her feel the way no-one else possibly could. When she was with Ron, she felt hot and cold at the same time, she felt shivers evrytime they touched and when they kissed she felt faint. Everytime she saw him she just wanted to grab him and kiss him to within an inch of his life. She knew though that she would have to restrain herself and be the same old shy, quiet Hermione when they were with other people. But when they were alone...............

*************************************************************

''Well Har, that was a good night wasn't it?'' Ron asked Harry as he got into his four poster bed.

''Yeah, it was the best.'' Harry said, with a voice that sounded strange to Ron.

''Whats the matter, now? Ron questionned his best friend

''I told Ginny that I loved her, and she said that she loved me too.'' said Harry happily, ''It was incredible.''

''Thats great Harry, I'm really happy for you'' Ron said as he rolled his eyes.

''Hey, Ron, did you ever find out, how to tell when you are in love someone?''

''What, oh yeah I did.''

''Really, so who is she then, spill the beans.''

''Harry , I am not going to tell you because there is no-one it was a hypothetical question O.K, I am not in love with anyone, Goodnight.''

Ron lay back in his bed, snuggling down into the covers pretending that he was with Hermione, he knew he had just lied to Harry, but he had to. Ron was in love, with Hermione Granger.''Oh Mione'' he sighed quietly, as he drifted off to sleep dreaming about her soft hair, her smooth hands, and that way she kissed him with her soft, full lips.
