A/n: Here it is, the 5th and last instalment of Forbidden Love. Sorry it
took me so long, I didn't have any ideas. Anyways, nothing more to say here
besides thanks heaps to my reviewers, you guys always brighten my day. TIM
TAMS FOR ALL! Once again, this is a bit further back from where Hermione's
diary ended. If that made sense. It's sort of an all around POV now, if
THAT made sense.
Disclaimer: Ya da ya da, I'm sure you know the deal.

"Hermione... Let me explain, please" Harry sighed, looking into her wide brown eyes. How could he explain what she had seen? There was no point in making up a lie. Hermione wasn't stupid. Harry felt Ron get up off the bed and stand beside him. Hermione shook her head in disbelief; Harry didn't really blame her. It wasn't every day you saw your two male best friends making out.
"Hermione." Harry tried again, but could still not find the right words.
Hermione shook her head once again, turned and ran. Harry quickly followed, leaving a stunned Ron standing alone.
Harry ran after Hermione as fast as he could. He wasn't sure what he'd say to her if he caught up with her but none the less he wanted to catch her. That wasn't about to happen. Hermione ran quickly into a girls' bathroom. Even though he was gay, Harry was not about to follow Hermione in. So he slowly walked back to the Room of Requirement.
"What happened just then?" Ron asked in a faint voice as Harry came in and closed the door behind him.
"The worst thing that could ever happen." Harry replied, walking over and dropping his head on to the taller boy's shoulder.
Ron stroked Harry's hair gently. "She probably hates us now hey? She probably thinks we don't trust her." He whispered.
"Or she doesn't want to be friends with two poofs." Harry's muffled voice had a hint of bitterness in it.
"No, no. Hermione's not like that." Ron paused. "I don't think she is, anyway."
They both stayed that way for a good while. Eventually, they walked back up to the common room and went to bed.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
As the next day was a Saturday, Ron decided to sleep in. He was having a great dream about Harry. They were walking outside Hogwarts, hand in hand and no one cared they that were being openly gay. The sun was shining brightly and Hermione was waving happily at them from under a tree. Everything was perfect. Harry turned Ron towards him and kissed him softly. He did it again. It felt so real. Again he was kissed. Really real. Ron opened his eyes slowly and saw Harry grinning broadly at him.
Ron smiled sleepily. "Joo takin 'vantadge o' me?" He said, his brain not quite functioning well enough to form proper words. (A/n: Translation - 'You taking advantage of me?')
Harry chuckled and stroked Ron's cheek softly. "Of course not, Love. You looked so cute sleeping there, I couldn't resist." He face turned serious. "But now you are awake, we need to figure out what to do about Hermione."
This woke Ron up. "I'd forgotten about that." He leaned up on his elbows. "Do you have any ideas?"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Hermione walked down to the Great Hall alone, thinking very hard. She had seen Harry that morning in the common room but he had just turned right around and went back up to the boys dormitory. It had worried Hermione. What if Harry and Ron would never speak to her again? That would mean she might have to be friends with. Lavender and Parvati! Hermione gave a shudder as she sat down on her own and helped herself to some breakfast.
She was still in deep thought when she spotted the boys come into the Great Hall. They saw her too. Ron muttered something to Harry and they turned to walk outside. Hermione was deeply hurt. They must hate me, she thought sadly as she watched them disappear from sight. Sighing loudly, Hermione slowly turned back to her breakfast, even though she had lost her appetite.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Ron and Harry walked out into the bright sunlight together. They had just seen Hermione in the Great Hall and didn't really feel like facing her at the moment. So they had escaped outside.
"You know, we're going to have to face her soon. Classes start again on Monday." Harry said dryly, breaking the silence.
"I know, but what are we meant to say? 'Hey Hermione, sorry we didn't tell you that your two best friends are gay, hope you understand'? I don't think that will go down very well somehow." Ron replied sarcastically.
Despite his gloomy mood, Harry laughed. "We could try it." He said, his mood now slightly happier. "You never know."
Ron just smiled and shook his head. "Come on, let's go to the Room. I can't freely talk out here. You never know who might be listening."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"I thought we came in here to talk." Harry said, grinning from under Ron.
"Yeah..." Ron kissed Harry's nose softly. "But there are a lot more important things to be done." He kissed Harry again.
Harry smiled and kissed Ron. No sooner had the door been locked had Ron taken Harry over to the bed and started to kiss him, Harry HAD wanted to talk, not that he minded the alternative. He moaned softly and wrapped his arms around Ron's waist as the boy deepened the kiss. Then a knock came at the door.
"Bloody typical." muttered Ron, regretfully standing up.
Harry put a finger to his lips, hoping Ron might get the message that if they were quiet the gatecrasher might go away, thinking it an empty classroom. Still, after what happened with Hermione, he was very cautious. Thinking very hard, Harry pictured a couch and some bookshelves and other recreational gadgets. With a gasp, he felt himself fall down a bit, as the large bed became a sofa and the whole room around him transformed, so it looked like nothing was going on.
"By Merlin!" Ron yelled out loudly, obviously very surprised.
Harry moaned inwardly. So much for no one being in here.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
(( A/n: Backtracking a bit, just telling you so you don't get confused.))
"You can do this Hermione. They've been your best friends for ages. It's not really that hard." Hermione whispered under her breath, walking down a corridor, trying to find the boys. They weren't outside so Hermione guessed they might be in the Room of Requirement. Sure enough, the door was there. Taking a deep breath, she knocked on the door. No bursting in like last time.
Hermione heard a slight scuffle inside, and then it all went quiet. After a while Hermione was about to give up when she heard a voice, unmistakably Ron's, yell out.
"Oh, nice one Hermione, catch them while they are having some private time." She cursed under her breath. She started to walk away, thinking it to be the best option. If she hung around the door the boys would hate her forever! ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Harry made up his mind. He stood up and walked past Ron who was still gawking at the room with his mouth open. Harry half jogged to the door and pulled it open quickly. He had a slight suspicion as to who the person was and his guess was right. He poked his head out the door to see Hermione's retreating back. Harry took a deep breath. It was now or never.
"Hermione!" He called, stepping outside the door a little.
Hermione turned quickly, surprised that Harry was calling her back. Harry could see her eyes looking up and down him and groaned inside. She thought they had been. Harry mentally shook his head, he didn't think that Hermione would even think that, then Harry realised that Ron had yelled out. Maybe that was where she had gotten the idea.
"Hermione, please come back." Harry asked softly, looking straight at her. "Please. We need to talk to you. We're sorry for keeping it from you. Please, come back and talk to us."
Hermione looked at him, Harry could almost hear her brain going, weighing up the situation. Finally she nodded and a slight smile appeared on her face. "Just no kissy kissy stuff in front of me, ok?
Harry grinned and nodded. "Sure thing."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Ron sat on a couch, a bit too stiffly. Harry had gone out to see whom the interrupter was and it had turned out to be Hermione. She was now sitting opposite him, staring around the room in awe. Harry was sitting next to him: Harry was a lot more relaxed than Ron.
"So." Harry started nervously and Hermione sharply turned her head to look at him. "I guess we better explain-"
Hermione shook her head. "There's no need to explain." Ron tensed, ready for the blow, "I know what you two are doing and I'm perfectly fine with it."
Ron stared at her with wide eyes. Well, that certainly wasn't what he was expecting.
"If you two want to. err. be together, that's perfectly fine with me." Hermione paused and bit her lip. "Though, I have to tell you something Ron..."
Ron moaned inwardly, here we go; something bad was coming now.
"Well, the thing is. I fancy you. Well, I used to anyway" Hermione smiled slightly. "Not that it matters much now." Ron's jaw fell open and Harry, who had been sitting rather quietly, chuckled and moved closer to Ron, taking his hand.
Hermione was a bit uncomfortable now. She wasn't sure if she should say or do anything. Surprisingly, she hadn't found it that difficult to tell Ron about how she felt, maybe it was because he was gay, so it didn't really matter what he thought of her. Hermione mentally shrugged and smiled to herself. At least they were all friends again.
She turned her attention back to the boys. "Hey! I said no kissy kissy stuff in front of me!"
Harry and Ron broke apart, looking slightly guilty. Hermione just laughed and the boys soon joined in.
Yup, it was all back to normal. Sort of.
THE END!
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
A/n2: Well, there it is folks! The end. Are you disappointed? Angry? Annoyed? Happy? Why don't you tell me? To do that you would have to review!
Oh, and with the whole room change thing, I guessed it would do that because in the 5th book with the DA when Harry thinks about needing a whistle, one appears in front of him, so I figured if he needed the whole room to change, it would.
