Hermione and Ron's POV
"ARE YOU MAD?!" Ron almost shouted.
"Hmmm... I wonder what happened to those two?" Hermione thought as she looked at Harry and Ron's direction.
"I wonder what happened?" Ginny voiced out what Hermione was thinking.
"Maybe – oh! Harry is already heading to their dormitory. Oh dear...did they had a fight about something?" Hermione asked Ginny.
"Maybe... but then it doesn't seems so 'cause if they had a fight, my brother should already be stomping out towards us and then throw all his frustrations." Ginny suggested while looking a bit tired already.
"Well you have a point there... anyways, Ginny, maybe you should sleep already. You do look a little tired," said Hermione as she pats Ginny on the shoulder.
"Okay...'night then!" Ginny yawned and then headed off to the girl's dormitory.
"'Night!" Hermione called after her.
Hermione slowly rose up from her chair and then walked across the room towards Ron. As she sat down to one of the chairs beside the one he is sitting at, she looked at his face and was surprised to see that he was looking at her in a very serious way that is much different than the ones she's used to.
"Ummm... Hermione, I need to talk to you about something" said Ron.
"Need to talk about what?" Hermione thought very startled.
"About what?" Hermione asked.
"Ummm...well, you see... ummm... how can I put this?" Ron mumbled looking down at his foot.
"What? By the way, while you're thinking what you're going to say to me, I was just wondering a while ago about what had happened to you and Harry." Hermione said concern audible from her voice.
"Oh, THAT... It's nothing really...we were just talking about something and then he gave me a quite crazy suggestion but I have to admit, he do have a point about it." Ron said as Harry's words seemed to echo in his mind again and again.
"Oh... so what do you want to talk about anyway?" Hermione said leaning back to her chair.
"Is there something you wish to tell me?"
"Huh? How did you know?"
"Don't be ridiculous Ron! We've been friends since our first year so I quite know a lot about you already!" Hermione chuckled.
"Oh... I see..." Ron said embarrassed.
-You continue to touch
-My heart and soul
-Though I try
-To keep them hidden,
-You easily find them
-With the searching fingers
-Of you words
"Well..." Ron started and then tried to look deep into those beautiful, dark, brown eyes.
"Well, what? Oh! Just stop beating around the bush and get over it!" Hermione said getting a little bit impatient but deep inside, she wasn't so sure what would come next.
"Well here goes nothing" Ron thought plucking up all the courage inside of him.
-For so long I tried
-To hide the tears
-Behind the rituals
-Of each passing day
-Filling each moment
-With infinite tasks
-Leaving no time to think
-Or feel
-Behind a wall
-I tried to hide my heart
-From roving eyes
-Seeking no Favors
-Accepted none
-For so long I feared to sleep
-And sleeping dream, and hope
-For things I cannot have
-But tonight
-There's a restlessness
-That stirs the soul;
-The heart refuses to lie quiet
-Within its prison wall
Ron then started to tell her all from the very beginning. How he had regretted all the things that he had said and done to her in their first year. How his heart shattered when he saw her petrified in their second year and had dawned to him that he cares for her even more of a friend. And how he had truly been sorry for accusing her cat and stubbornly did not try to understood why she had told Professor McGonagall about the Firebolt in their third year. And how he was feeling really jealous whenever he sees Hermione and Krum together especially in the Yule Ball.
"The good thing at least, in my situation, is that almost everybody are asleep now." Ron thought as he tells Hermione his all heart to her.
-Perhaps I'm just a dreamy fool
-I'm so much a fool
-To think you also care
-That you also remember me
-When darkness comes
-And silence fills the night
-In your moments of reverie
-I wonder what you really feel for me
Hermione just sat there, stunned to Ron's confession to her. She never thought that he too really do have feelings for her.
Your words
Kind and gentle
And with this words
Always aiming at the heart
You have tried to pierce
The veneer of my soul
And still I doubt
The loneliness
And the passion
And the longing
That seemed to flow
So warm
So easily
From the heart
"Can't you see Hermione?" Ron tried to point out, as he rise up from his seat and then kneeled in front of Hermione holding her hands into his'.
"I've been falling in love for you through all this years and that is why...well it's quite embarrassing to admit it... I always act so weird and had been so overprotected of you because of the love that had been growing inside of me for you. And that it hurts even more when I thought that if I don't tell you now, it would be too late." Ron said desperately as he watched Hermione's stunned face and dreading the worst of worst to come.
And then a moment later, he was caught by surprise when Hermione suddenly grabbed him and gave him a big hug, hot water trickling in his neck.
"Tears?" Ron thought and tried to push her a little to make her face him. He saw Hermione's face wet with free falling tears from her eyes. But out in a corner, they didn't notice that a chair moved a little bit to where they are situated.
"Hermione! What's the matter? Why are you crying? Please! I beg you not to cry." Ron said as he tried to kiss her tears away. What happened? Why is she acting like this? Was she afraid about his feelings for her? Or she was just not that ready yet? But then, what was the hug about?
"Oh Ron this is nothing really... its just that..." Hermione sobbed. Should I tell him already? Gosh... I am not that sure if he really true to his feelings... and if I tell him how I really feel for him, he might think I'm so easy to get... oh dear... I don't really know what to do now...well I think its better if I tell him that...yes! That's it!! Hermione thought as she looks to Ron's startlingly blue eyes.
"Yes?" Ron asked, confused to Hermione's sudden reaction. I've never seen her confused like this before...what could possibly she be thinking of me now?
