Disclaimer: They aren't mine…but I love them anyway!
The rest of that day passed without incidents beyond Harry catching an occasional dreamy look from Ron to Hermione and vice versa, he really couldn't believe what was happening.
Another thing that really began to bug him was that he actually noticed the fact that he hadn't seen Ginny at all in the common room, finally he asked Ron about it.
"Hey Ron, where's Ginny? I haven't seen her all day."
"Oh, she said something about spending the day with Professor Trelawney, something about a dream she had that she wanted her to tell her about."
"Another dream? Ugh." Harry grumbled.
"What would she want to go to that crackpot about?" Hermione asked, looking at Ron, but toward his chest, not his eyes.
"What did you just say Harry?" Ron asked, looking up from Hogwarts, a History.
"Never mind, hey Hermione, can I talk to you for a second?"
"Huh? Oh sure Harry, I guess you can, would you like to go for a walk or something? Ron, do you mind?"
"No w-why would I mind?" Ron blushed again, almost enough to match his hair.
"Okay, come on Harry."
They walked out of the common room leaving a confused Ron behind in their wake. After going through the portrait of the Fat Lady Hermione led Harry to the 7th floor and right to the door across from the tapestry of Barnabas the Barmy being clubbed by trolls. Harry knew automatically where she was taking him, the Room of Requirement. Thinking of this brought back memories of the DA meeting when he had received his first true kiss from Cho. They walked into the room, which was as Dobby had said the year before, "equipped with the seekers needs."
Two chairs sat facing each other next to the roaring fire, and two mugs of butterbeer sat on the table next to them. They walked over to the chairs and sat down each grabbing a mug of butterbeer.
"Okay Harry, what was it you wanted to talk about?"
"Well, this is kind of hard to say, but I can't talk to Ron about it because it concerns Ginny." Hermione blushed at the sound of Ron's name and set down her butterbeer.
"What about her?"
"Last night I had a dream about Ginny, I cant remember much of it just that we were sitting on a park bench in London…" He paused, scared to say any more, but then he remembered that Hermione was one of his best friends and that she would never judge him.
"The only thing I do remember is that I-I kissed her." He breathed a sigh of relief glad to get it off his chest.
He looked up at Hermione, as he had been fixated with the ground while telling her and he was surprised to see that she was smiling.
"Oh Harry, I'm so happy for you!"
"Wha--?"
"Ginny really likes you Harry! She tells me about it all the time at night in the dormitory, she has ever since she met you at King's Cross that first year!"
It was Harry's turn to smile, he knew that Ginny used to like him, but was oblivious to the fact that she still did.
"Well at least I know that I'm not going insane, maybe that was what she went to Trelawney about, she must have had the same dream as I did."
"Of course it is Harry! She had no one else to go to, she very well couldn't tell me about a dream like that, I'm one of your best friends."
He looked at her, her hazel eyes glimmering in the firelight. "Hermione, what's going on with you and Ron? You've both been acting strange all day."
She blushed again, embarrassed that he had noticed her foolish girly antics.
"Well, you see, despite all our arguments, I find myself…" She paused, just as Harry had done.
"Yes?"
"I find myself….falling in love with Ron."
Although he knew it was coming, the shock of it still made him wince as it began to sink in. Hermione was looking into the fire, perplexed. Harry didn't blame her, he knew exactly what she was going through.
He looked at her again, until her eyes met his, he held out his hand and stood up, helping her up with him.
"I'll hold my tongue if you hold yours," she smiled at him, her eyes twinkling, reminding Harry of Dumbledore's.
"Deal."
"Thanks Harry." She kissed him on the cheek and walked out of the room, he ran to catch up and they walked in silence the rest of the way to Gryffindor Tower.
