A/n: Ta da! Next instalment of 'Forbidden Love'. It might be the last. I don't know really. Tell me if you think I should write another chapter or whatever. This chapter is written in first-person POV, Hermione is writing in her diary. It is a couple of days before she discovers Ron and Harry, just telling you so you don't say 'What the hell is she on?' I'm not going to put dates either, so just try and work it our best you can. First entry is about when everyone comes back. Ok, enough rambling, on with the story!

Disclaimer: If it were mine I wouldn't be sitting here writing fan fiction, would I?

Dear Diary,

Ron's hand brushed mine as we were walking into the Great Hall at lunch today! I hope I haven't let on about how I much I like him! I've been having dreams about him almost every night and whenever I see him a thousand butterflies suddenly appear in my stomach! Oh, Diary, what should I do? Should I tell him how I feel or should I just let it be, and see if he makes a move first? I'm just so confused! I've never felt this way about a boy before! And he's my best friend! Best friends aren't supposed to fall in love with each other, are they? Listen to me, Diary, I'm rambling on like a mad woman. People see me as the calm and collected bookworm, and here I am, obsessing over my best friend! Maybe I shouldn't have got him 'Hogwarts: A History' for Christmas. Maybe I should have got him that heart shaped candy I saw in Honeydukes. No, that would have been terrible. Harry would have never let me live it down. It would have been all over the school. 'Hogwarts: A History' was a good choice. Yes. It was.

Well, it is getting late. I must go to bed. Good night Diary.

Love, Hermione.

Dear Diary,

Ron and Harry have been acting very strange lately. They're being very secretive. Maybe Ron has confessed his love for me to Harry and they are working something out together. Yes that must be it. Whenever they come back from wherever they went, Ron always has his adorable goofy smile on his face, so that must be it! Oh, I hope he reveals it soon; I'm absolutely bursting with anticipation! I over-heard Lavender telling Parvati that she liked Dean. Like that isn't half-obvious. Oh dear, I hope I'm not that obvious. I can't be. No. Someone would have said something, I'm sure. I keep my feelings about Ron concealed well. Maybe too well. Oh no. What if Ron does like me but thinks I don't feel the same way? Oh, Diary, this is just getting too stressful. Why does love have to be so hard? Oh no, someone is coming! I better hide you quickly!

Love, Hermione.

Dear Diary,

Ron and Harry went off together today, without telling me. I couldn't find them all afternoon! I really do wonder what they were doing. I re-read over my last entry and it is kind of unrealistic. Ok, fair enough that Ron would tell Harry, but sneaking off together to make something for me? I doubt it. I really do wonder what they are up to, you would think, since I am their best friend, they would tell me. What are they doing that is so secretive that they can't tell me? Maybe they're. no, they couldn't possibly be. No. What a silly thought. No, Hermione, no way. But, Diary, what ARE they up to? I really want to know? Maybe I should just ask them. No, that would be prying; it would be like I don't trust them. I'll just let them tell me. Yes, that is what I will do. I must go Diary. It is getting late.

Love, Hermione

Dear Diary,

Ron and Harry were very late to breakfast this morning. It really is making me suspicious. Harry said they were in the Library when I asked about where they were yesterday, he said they had Divination homework and the common room was too noisy. Funny, I don't remember Ron complaining about their homework like he usually does. Oh well, I guess I'll just have to go by their word. Must run now, Diary, just came up here to write this down. Will write more tonight.

Love, Hermione.

Dear Diary,

Oh, have I got a story to tell you! It isn't a good one, either! As I told you before, Ron and Harry were very late to breakfast this morning and they disappeared again this afternoon. They left soon after I pretended to do my Arithmancy homework. I got up a few minutes after they left and followed them, keeping out of sight. I know that was bad of me, but I needed to know where they were sneaking off to. I watched from behind the corner at what they were doing. They were pacing in front of a blank wall, concentrating very hard. On the opposite wall, the tapestry of Barnabas the Barmy's attempt to teach trolls ballet. It was the Room of Requirement they wanted! But what for, I wondered as I watched them. The door appeared in the wall and in they went. I waited a couple of minutes before going to the door. Breathing deeply I turned the handle. They had locked it! I had smiled, somewhat proudly. So I had taught them something. I pulled my wand out of my robes and cast the Alohomora spell and I heard the door unlock. I twisted the handle again and swung the door open triumphantly. I barely heard the door bang onto the wall. Ron and Harry were lying together on a bed. Harry rolled off Ron and stood up. Ron had his eyes shut, but he opened them again. Horror showed clearly in their eyes. I stood in the doorway, gaping like a fish.

"Hermione let me explain..." Harry had started, but I shut my mouth and shook my head disbelievingly. Ron got off the bed and stood next to Harry.

"Hermione." Harry had sighed; I guess he couldn't find the right words, not that I let him.

I turned and ran from the room, I could hear Harry running after me, but I went into the girl's bathroom. After a couple of minutes, I came back here to tell you my story.

I can't believe how stupid I was, not to realise what was going on between them! So much for Ron liking me! I can't believe what a dolt I was. A real drongo. Ugh. Nice one Hermione. Well done. The boys probably hate me now; I probably looked like a homophobic or something. But, it was a very big shock for me. I will go and apologise tomorrow. Yes, that is what I will do.

Love, Hermione.

A/n2: Well, there you have it. I have decided to write another chapter after this one, if I get enough reviews (wink, wink, nudge, nudge). For those of you who don't know, or didn't guess, a homophobic is someone who HATES homosexuals. I personally don't think Hermione is a homophobic, but tell me your opinions. To do that you have to REVIEW, so do it! Thankie you!
