: Chapter One : Decisions
Ron and Harry slowly walked down the hall, both obviously feeling very uncomfortable. Harry was plowing over the things that Ron had just told him in the Common Room while they had extra time after lunch.
" I really like her, Harry." "Who?" said Harry, too absorbed in his work to notice that Ron was staring intently at Hermoine as she finished her work, and walked up the stairs to the girl's dormitory.
"Hermoine!" yelled Ron. Harry was startled that Ron had broken the silence and at his response.
"Hermoine!?" said Harry as he looked at Ron as though he expected for Ron to say that he was just playing around.
"Yeah.I know this is really sudden, but I do, I have, for the past 3 years. I just want to tell her but I can't! It's as if I'm being torn in two between love and rejection, I can't help it! I love her, but she's our best friend and I don't want to ruin all of our friendship if she doesn't feel the same about me!
"Why haven't you told ME, I could have helped you or given you some support! Well, look," Harry said half desperately, as if looking for a way out, half disappointed, "we have to get going, we will be late for Potions and you know in what a bad mood Snape is in since I actually was on time and got a good grade in his class."
Harry was still shocked that Ron had liked his best friend (beside Ron himself that is) for THREE years! It was very strange. Well, he had other worries to deal with at the moment, and why did he care so much if Ron liked her, it's not as if, he, Harry liked Hermoine, is it? "Nah," thought Harry.
"Turn your books to page 365 please, we are going to be making a Polyjuice Potion today."
