Title: The Something Special
Pairing: Hermione/Ginny (unrequited)
You'd known her for years. Hermione had always been there in the periphery of your world. Ron, Harry and Hermione, the 'dream team' you once heard Snape call the three of them.
Of course, you were preoccupied with Harry for several years until his glittery charm faded. Michael Corner and other boys followed and your relationship with Hermione became closer. She, with her oblivious hormone driven best friends, and you with the cramped Burrow filled to the brim with men.
It took you utterly by surprise when one day you realized that Hermione made you knees shake and your palms sweat. You found yourself staring at her and making any excuse to sit beside her, if only so you could surreptitiously press you thigh against hers.
Of course, it wasn't going to go anywhere. Crushes like these never do. But you can pretend that Hermione's flirting back when she grabs your hand and pulls you along after her or when she tells you secrets about your brother and Harry. Its not a lot but it'll do for now.
