((A/N. I still don't own Harry Potter, and if I did, I wouldn't be posting my story here. First thing, Thank you so much to all my reviewers keep on reviewing! Last thing I say is...Hermione-Weasley, I'm sorry, but I have to))

Reminder of last chapter:

"Fine" Harry muttered as he began to walk to the library as Ron turned around and started to walk up to the common room. Harry slowly walked toward the library, not wanting Hermione to be there. Harry gulped as he moved slowly to the door. He reached for the knob but he slowly turned. Harry tried to move back from the door but wasn't quick enough and he bumped into the person on the other side. Their lips accidentally met. Harry wrapped his arms around the person's waist. Still kissing, he opened his eyes to see who it was.

This Chapter:

Harry opened his eyes to see that he was embracing Hermione and was dramatically kissing her. "Harry, I couldn't find Hermi...." Ron began to turn the corner to find them kissing. Hermione and Harry quickly broke free looked at each other in shock as if they hadn't known that they were kissing each other. Ron's jaw dropped as he glared at Harry with rage. Then, without saying anything, he turned and stormed away.

Hermione turned towards Ron, then back at Harry and put her hands over her face. She leaned up against the wall and slid down to the ground. Harry didn't know what to say all he wanted to do was take that kiss back. Harry heard Hermione breath in deeply.

"I'm...I'm sorry Hermione, it was an accident" Harry mumbled, still in state of shock.

"I know" Hermione whispered.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Ron furiously walked up to the Astronomy tower, looking for Lara. "Lara" he called as he looked around. She wasn't there. Ron slumped to the ground and sat there, as a single tear rolled down his cheek. He brushed the tear away hastily and looked down at the ground. He knew he had to do something. He jumped back up and raced down the stair with rage in his eyes. He ran down the halls and raced up to the common room where he found Harry sitting on a chair.

"Listen Ron, it was an accident, honestly" Harry said, standing up from his chair. Ron looked at him furiously and took his wand out of his pocket and pointed it to Harry's head. ((Oh great))

"Don't move Potter" Ron said, scaring himself to the fact that he sounded a lot like Malfoy.

"Ron... put your wand down" Harry said, not knowing if he was seriously going to hurt him. Ron slowly dropped his wand to the ground. ((*Sigh* No violence)) He dropped it as if he thought of something better to do. Ron pulled his fist back and slugged Harry hard in the mouth. ((I spoke too soon)) Harry wiped a drop of blood that was rolling down Harry's chin. Harry glared at Ron and without thinking, he punched Ron in the stomach. Ron fell back and landed hard on the floor. By now, all the Gryffindors had formed a circle around the fighting friends. Ron quickly jumped up and pushed Harry to the ground.

"Ron!" Hermione yelled as she entered the common room and found a mob scene around Ron who was about to lunge at Harry again and Harry who was on the ground with a stream of blood on his face. Ron gave one sorrowful, yet angry look at her and stormed back out of the common room. Hermione ran up to Harry and bent down on one knee, trying to help him up. "What happened" She asked in a state of horror? Harry sat up.

"I... I have no idea" Harry said, pulling himself off the ground.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Ron walked along the corridors quietly so that no professors could hear him and know that he was walking around school after hours. He wished he had Harry's invisibility cloak, "But no" he thought "Harry's not my friend anymore, he took the one thing away that I truly cared about."

"Ron, wait up" Hermione said, running down the hallway towards him.

"I'm surprised you aren't tending to your boyfriend's needs" Ron sneered as he kept walking.

"Listen to me, it was an accident" Hermione said, finally catching up with him.

"What? Did you stumble and his lips broke your fall?" Ron sneered. ((I love that quote))

"Ron, I went to go find you and I went to open the door and I... I accidentally bumped into Harry" She stuttered.

"Why were you looking for me?" Ron finally stopped walking and turned around to face her, his face filled with confusion.

"I...I... well, it's not important" Hermione stuttered.

"Of course it is, how do I know you're not lying" Ron scowled.

"Ron, I..." Hermione began. She stopped and began to feel dizzy. "I... I want my journal back" She stomped her foot lightly on the ground and crossed her arms. "Anyway, why do you care?"

Ron ignored that last comment. "Here" Ron said, taking a little red book out of the pocket of his robes and throwing it at her. "Now you can write all about your love... Harry Potter" He hissed and turned abruptly around and began to storm away.

"Ron" Hermione whimpered as a tear rolled down her cheek.

"Forget it" he said, not willing to turn around and face her. Ron walked away from Hermione with thoughts buzzing around in his mind. He looked ahead of him and saw a door slightly open and moved towards it curiously, knowing that no one would be up this late, then again, he was. He moved closer to it and began to hear whimpers from inside. He opened the door and peeked in. He looked inside curiously and saw Lara sitting in a dark corner crying. "Lara is that you?"

"Go away" she said, breaking into tears.

"You helped me, so I want to know what's wrong," He muttered, stepping closer to her, closing the door behind him.

"Does anyone want to know how I died?" She looked up at him with silver tears running down her face.

Ron looked startled at the question. He had never actually wondered this, let alone thought about it for a minute. "I'm listening" he said in a comforting tone, sitting down next to the ghostly figure.

"It's just that, I've given people all this advice, but then I remember the mistake I made" she said whimpering. "I had the same problem you have, with loving someone but not knowing what to do." Ron wanted to argue with that, but decided it wasn't the best time. He nodded for her to continue. "I loved him so dearly. I kept my secret affection from him for twelve years. He never knew, so he married someone else. A year later he got horribly sick, nothing magic could cure. I went to him the day he died and told him that I had always loved him. He smiled with his pale, sick face and nodded, replying that he always felt the same. Then he died... and I never left his side" she said, bursting into tears once again. Ron wanted to comfort her, but he didn't know exactly how too. "Follow your heart, but know that you cannot live a lie" he looked up at him. "I do not want you to make the same mistake that I made."

"Thanks Lara" Ron said. Lara bent towards him and kissed him to the cheek. Ron felt a warm sensation as if he was sipping hot butter beer. Ron looked shocked, not at the fact that she kissed him, but the fact that she didn't go through him.

"You know what to do Ronald Weasley, follow your heart and Hermione Granger will be yours" Lara whispered. In a blink of an eye, she disappeared. Thoughts were streaming through his mind, for one thing, how did she know his name.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Ron didn't know exactly what do to, but what he did know was that he had to tell Hermione how he really felt. Some how, he found hi way back to the common room without getting caught by Filch or his evil cat Mrs. Norris. The common room was completely empty except for Hermione who was sitting in a chair by the fire, waiting for him. When she saw him, she jumped up and ran towards him. She had obviously been crying, for her eyes were red and puffy. She got to a point where she was right next to him and she threw her arms around his neck.

"I'm sorry Ron" she whimpered as she laid her head on his shoulder. Ron looked down at her and gazed into her eyes.

"I... I'm sorry too," he said, putting his hands around her to embrace her. He sighed, he wanted to hold her in his arms forever, but he knew that it wasn't possible. She let go of him and stepped back. She wiped her tears away and looked up at him and gave a weak smiled. "Listen Mione" he gulped as he walked closer and closer to her. "I was wonder..." he stopped.

"What?" She said, looking at him curiously. He turned back from her, but she pulled him back. He looked into her eyes and felt to sudden urge to smile at her. He leaned towards her to kiss her, but then he heard a voice coming from the stair.

"Ron is that you?" Harry asked, walking down the stairs. Ron wanted to ignore Harry so badly, but then he thought that it might not have been the best time to tell her.

"Yeah Harry" Ron croaked out. Ron looked back over at Hermione who looked slightly disappointed. Harry walked towards then and Hermione sighed.

"Well, I'll be off to bed so you two can talk" she muttered as she slowly walked up the steps to the girls dormitory.

"Listen Ron, I just wan..."

"Harry, it was my fault. I should have listened to you when you tried to tell me it was an accident." He sighed. "It's just... you know how I feel about her. I mean... you know that I truly fancy her" he mumbled silently.

Harry nodded. "I told you" he smiled weakly.

Ron scowled with sadness in his voice. "It doesn't matter... it will never matter."

"Why doesn't it matter?"

Ron sighed again. "She will never feel the same way about me the same way I do about her."

"That's not true. Did you read her journal?"

"No of course not." He mumbled.

"Well then you don't know that for sure."

"But Harry, think about it... a girl as brilliant and beautiful like her would never like a low-life guy like me" Ron sighed.

Harry looked amazed. He always knew that Ron fancied Hermione, but he never knew this much. "Ron, I guess you could say she would be lucky to be with you."

"It doesn't matter. I'm quite tired, so I'm going to bed" Ron said yawning and slumping up the stairs to the boys dormitory, Harry following behind him. The common room was now completely empty... except... for a little girl with piercing red hair how was holding herself from giggling rather loudly, in a dark corner of the room.

(( A/N: You people like??? Once again I say that I am sorry to Hermione-Weasley, lol. Thank you DazzilinAngel555 for posting your suggestion, it was a good one, and I probably am going to use it ^_^. The quote: "What did you stumble and his lips broke your fall" was actually used in the show: "Boy Meets World" but it was revised a bit. Oh yeah, my friends wanted me to give them credit for coming up with the whole "Harry kissing Hermione and Ron seeing and him getting all mad" thing, so, thank you Kat and Harry for coming up with the idea ^_^ Thank you so much to all of my reviewers! Keep reviewing!!))
