She was shocked and disgusted. Her former best friend was kissing her, slobbering, really. She pushed him away, and wiped her mouth, looking at him disgustingly.

            "WHAT THE BLOODY HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?!"

            His ears turned even redder. "You didn't like it?" he said, cowering away.

            "I CAN NOT BELIEVE YOU WOULD TAKE ADVANTAGE OF ME! AFTER HARRY—"she drew in a shaky breath, "—after Harry—" her voice was now quiet, and she took in another breath—" after he—"

            She let out a strangled sob, and slid down the wall, not wanting to say it out loud. Saying it would be finalizing it—but she had to, she needed to—

            "After he died!" she exclaimed. "He's dead, Ron! He's gone! "He's not coming back!"

            "WELL, HE BLOODY DESERVED IT!" Ron yelled, annoyed and angry.

            Hermione stood there in shock. "W-what?" she managed to sputter out.

            Ron laughed cruelly. "You still haven't noticed, 'Mione?"

            'Noticed what?' she thought

            "I love you, Hermione. I always have, ever since that day you teased me 'bout the bloody fake spell," he chuckled again. "You're pretty oblivious 'Mione. I wouldn't be surprised if Harry, Neville, and I weren't the only ones who love—or love-- you.

            She stood there in shock, trying to register it all. Before she could speak, Ron did.

            "Except Harry was the one who got you," he said. "And he's the one who died. Pretty ironic, eh?"

            He chuckled again, and Hermione wondered if he was insane. "So, I'm left, since Neville's in Azkaban. And you're still not over Harry."

            Hermione was scared. Was Ron bloody mad?

            "No, Hermione, I have not lost my sanity," he paused. His eyes hardened.

"He didn't deserve you."

Hermione had heard those words before; those words were the ones Neville said to Harry. She began to feel dizzy.

            And then there was darkness.

            A/N: Is this better? Feel free to correct me in anything that I did wrong, or give me any suggestions.

            Thanks to all of my reviewers:

           

Harry/Hermione: Well, she didn't slap him, but she yelled at him. Thanks!
