A/N Alex, the kill Harry part is for you.lol.

Ron spun around. (who do you think it will be... :D:D

Im making you wait :D

La la la....

To continue...

"GINNY GO AWAY!" he could feel his face getting red as he stared down at his equally red sister. "Finally! I mean, I don't know how much longer we could all stand it! Ron stood there with a shocked look on his face. "...wh....what?"

"O, don't play dumb, we all know you like her. We just didn't know that you were in love with her! This is so great! I'll go get Hermione. Hermione! Guess what! Hermione get out here!" She dissappeared into the girls dormitory as Ron stood there shocked. His mind slowly processed that Ginny was going to get Hermione so he could tell her he loved her. "Wait! Ginny do.......standing at the door in her pajamas was Hermione. He couldn't help but stare at the beauty in front of him. It's now or never. He Gulped down his fear and started. "Hermione, I.." breathe in, breathe out, breathe in, breathe out. "Herm.." as he started a rush of people came yelling and screaming up the staircase , carrying Harry on their shoulders. This was his chance to get away. He slipped into the crowd of people and into the dormitory. Why did you do that, you love her, yet at first opportunity you ran. He sighed as he looked over at Harry who had just been dropped on his bed. Harry threw his legs over the side of his bed and looked at Ron. "So.....what happened," he looked like a little boy opening presents at Christmas. Ron couldn't hold it in any longer. He started explaining in full detail what had happened, from beginning to end...

Hermione went back to her bed feeling the most disappointed she'd ever felt. She was sure Ron was going to tell her he loved her. And then Harry came and ruined it, she was going to kill him! She rolled over and her heart caught in her throat. "Holy Shit Ginny, don't do that again. "Sorry. So...what did Ron say." A small smile slid across her face as she sat down at the end of Hermione's bed. Hermione sat up and looked at her hands. "Er, he didn't say anything. He kind of just disappeared...."

"I'm sorry Hermione. He's not so smart sometimes... don't worry, he's just a wuss, I'm sure he'll get enough courage to tell you soon."

"Thanks Ginny. But I'm really tired, so I'm going to go to bed." And with that she laid down and pretended to fall asleep. Once she was sure everyone was asleep she got up and put her robe on. She Walked slowly through the empty common room and out the portrait hole. It seemed no time until she was in the Owlery, writing the letter to Ron.

Ron made sure Harry was asleep before putting his robe on and walking down to the common room. He took out his quill and started to write.

Dear Hermione,

Sorry about earlier, I got cold feet and went to my dorm. I've got something to tell you. You probably all ready know this, but I want you to hear, rather see it from me. Hermione, I love you. I have since we saved the Sorcerer's Stone. Meet me in the secret room when you get this.

Love, Ron

He took a deep breath. "I can't believe I just did that". He took a moment to gather his thoughts before standing up and rushing to the owlery.

Dear Ron,

I know that this may come as a shock to you. After all, I said I didn't...but I have something to tell you. I love you Ron. I have since we helped Harry with the Sorcerer's Stone. I'm sorry for everything mean I've ever said to you...I ... meet me in the secret room when you get this.

With Love, Hermione

She took a deep breath. "I did not just do that," o, you did. She called down Hedwig and attached the letter to her leg. "Can you take this to Ron for me," she said stroking her wings. With a nudge, Hedwig flew out the window and disappeared from sight. She walked out the door and took a breath. She'd done it, she had told Ron she loved her. She heard footsteps to the left of her. Filch. She took off running to the right and didn't look back.

Ron heard footsteps down the hall and ran into the owlery. He hastily called Pig down and tied the letter to his leg. He did NOT Want to be caught by Filch at 3 in the morning. "Take this to Hermione, and be nice to her," and with that the tawny owl fluttered out the window. Ron walked out of the owlery, and ran left back the dormitory.
