Fan fiction - chapter two
Hermione was sat in her bedroom, it was eleven o clock according to her watch. She had just sent a reply to Ron now all she had to do was to wait, but how long would it take for Pig to get to The Burrow? She turned away from her desk and looked around at her bedroom, it was neat and tidy as any bedroom should be. She went to her CD rack and chose a really out dated record, she hadn't really bought any CD's since she had started Hogwarts. The music didn't take her mind off her two best friends. Why did Remus need their help with Harry so desperately? He and Harry had always got on so well. But this was not was what was foremost in her mind...
Ron. She had missed him so much while she was on holiday, not that she hadn't thought of Harry, but she had all of a sudden realised something that her heart must have realised a long time ago, she had feeling for Ron. Ron!. The boy who had more than once teased her for being too smart. But there was something new about him now when he teased her, it wasn't meant to hurt her anymore, he was admiring her as well as chiding her. Her letters had been filled with her worries for Harry but also there was playful flirting, Hermione Granger, flirting! Who would have expected it? But he was flirting back, or at least she thought he was. She may know a lot about girl's feelings but boy's. She was at a complete loss.
She thought back, trying to remember when these feelings had occured. Her mind found one particular memory. The Yule Ball, she saw Ron's face, during the dance he had looked jealous and afterwards, in the common room he looked so angry.
'That can't have been it' she thought and cast her mind further back.
Hogsmede. That was it, the first Hogsmede trip, it was the first time they had really been alone together outside of Hogwarts. That was when she had realised that there was definateley more to Ronald Weasley that meets the eye. They had walked around on their own for hours, he had told all his very worst jokes and explained all the different owls in the post office (one thing she hadn't read in a book) then they had gone to the Three Broomsticks and he had bought her her very first drink of butterbeer. When the liquid had heated her from inside she hadn't noticed that something else was also heating her, a burning in her heart. She had tried to deny it for three years now, but now she knew for sure.
Many times over the past month she had played her perfect way to tell Ron how she felt in her head, it went like this:
They are standing in the grounds, snow is deep on the floor and she turns to him and says 'Ron, there's something I really need to tell you' but then he puts a hand up to her mouth and says 'Me first Hermione' and grins in that vunerable way then says 'Hermione, I'm crazy about you, I just need you to know, and I'd do anything for you, if you wanted a thousand chimera's I'd go right out and get them if it meant you were happy. I know a girl like you would never go out with a guy like me but, I've layed my card's on the table. What did you want to tell me?' he gives her a look that could melt even Umbridge's heart and then she takes a deep breath and says 'I know what you mean, I've felt like that for one guy for ages' he looks hurt and whispers 'Krum?' she laughs and says 'The only guy I could ever want is standing right in front of me. Ron, it's you' then he gives a strangled yell and says 'Hermione I love you' she tilts her head up and he leans in and kisses her tenderly on the lips.
But the picture always died leaving her with her heart still burning.
Hermione switched off her music and lay on her bed staring into space.
Hours later Hermione was woken by the noise of Pig knocking on her window she jumped up and the owl flew in.
Me and Ginny will be there See you soon Ron
She was a little disappointed with this reply and turned it over to find a post script
P.S You didn't think I'd disappoint you? Honestly have a little faith Hermione can't wait to see you, I've missed you loads Ron
Hermione smiled to herself as she got dressed.
