OK so it's been a year since I last updated this story, I have to admit that the first part sucked.I hope that this part will be better.

Love in vain

Hermione splashed water into her face.the cool moisture cleaned her tears. She wouldn't have to wipe her face again for awhile, she wasn't going cry again. Steadying herself after straightening up she walked out of the bathroom and into the common room. Most of the students were down at breakfast, but a few were doing last minute homework, including Harry.

Ever since Hermione and Harry stopped seeing each other Harry has been having a harder and harder time keeping up with his studies. Hermione crossed the room and stood above him not knowing what to say.She stared at his chin the way it would stick out every time he was thinking really hard or the way his lips.

"Do you need something?"

"Oh! Oh, gosh.I just.Harry, we need to talk."

"No, you need to talk; I need to finish my history essay."

Hermione stood for a second clearly baffled that her offer was refused. "Harry," Hermione said, "I really need to talk to you.I have something important to tell you."

As much as Harry tried to refuse it he still had feelings for Hermione. He admired her so much, and though part of that had diminished, he still couldn't refuse her.

Harry sighed. "Alright."

"Uh, Harry do you think we could do this in private?"

Harry followed Hermione up to her dormitory. By now he knew it all too well having come up here for midnight rendezvous on more then one occasion. Although when Hermione entered, there was someone on her bed, Ron.

"Harry" muttered Ron

"Ron" muttered Harry.

"Ron," spoke Hermione, "What are you doing here?"

"I came to talk to you." Ron got up and moved towards her. "I need to talk to you about.us."

"We already talked Ron," Hermione said in a pleading voice, "we already talked Ron."

"No, I need to say something that I didn't before."

"Yes, well you can tell me later.bye bye now!" Hermione pushed Ron out of the door and locked it. "Sit down Harry," gesturing towards the bed. "Look I know I owe you some sort of an explanation.not one that comes from Ron. When we started going out I felt so good about everything. The world was so beautiful. But I got scared Harry, scared that I wouldn't be able to let go of you if we broke up, so I padded my self incase anything happened.I got back up.I'm so sorry Harry, I never meant it to happen."

There was an uncomfortable pause which allowed Harry to let this sink in. Finally he spoke.

"Do you love me Hermione?"

"More then the world."

They embraced. Harry wanted to cry, to show some emotion, so he settled on kissing her. It was like heaven opened up and stopped the rain from coming down on him.

A week later

So finally everything was perfect again.with Harry and Hermione. Ron spent most of his time with brothers playing exploding snap or pulling some kind of prank on Neville. Harry and Hermione noticed hesitant glances from his direction almost every night when they were all studying on different sides of the common room.

And so one night at around 12 o'clock, when the embers of the fire were dying down. Ron approached them, looking nervously at Hermione, then at Harry.
