Dinner was a tense meal that night, Ron and Hermoine sat together each shooting frightened looks at Harry. Harry meanwhile was talking to Neville, and stealing longing glances over at Ginny, Ginny for her part pretended to take an interest in another girls hair while wondering what nearly happened between her and Harry.
Just as everyone was starting to leave Harry walked determinedly over to Ron and Hermoine, sat down despite their shocked expressions and said,
'I don't blame you both for what you did to me, Hermoine things between us have been tough for a while, we were together for habit not for love, you know that as well as I' Hermoine nodded 'and Ron you have always loved Hermoine and I know how hard it was for you when I started going out with her'
Ron started to protest, but Harry cut him up,
'if I were you Ron I wouldn't argue right now,' Ron closed his mouth, as Harry continued 'But I do blame you for what you did to Draco Hermoine, he thought that you had feelings for him, but you were just teasing him why?' demanded Harry.
'That's what I want to know as well,' came a clear voice from behind Harry. Hermoine looked from Harry to Draco and back again before finally saying,
'I'm sorry Harry I thought if you saw me flirting with your arch rival then you would realise that I didn't love you as a boyfriend anymore, because I couldn't say it out loud, Harry you're my best friend, how could I bear to hurt you like that to your face?' Harry and Draco looked at each other with sudden understanding, Draco only said
'I understand Hermoine,' before walking slowly away. Harry said
'Tell me, how long has it been going on?' Ron turned the same colour as his hair and said
'four months.' Harry smiled at least it was since he had been having these feelings. Harry sighed, when he looked up and saw the scared faces of his two best friends, he started to giggle.
'Don't look so worried, its just I have to tell you something,' Ron and Hermoine shot knowing glances at one another. Harry continued
'I've fallen in love with Ginny, Ron I won't do anything if you don't want me to,' Ron stifled a laugh, while Hermoine grinned,
'You silly bugger Harry, of course I don't mind, in fact I give you my blessing, we were wondering when you two were going to realise, the whole of Gryfindor has bets on it!'
'WHAT?' exclaimed Harry 'is it that obvious?'
'YES!' chorused Ron and Hermoine together,
'and, and she feels the same?' asked Harry gingerly,
'yes!' said Hermoine loudly 'what are you blind?' Now it was Harry's turn to go red,
'Go on then you muppet, go and tell her!' said Ron.
Harry jumped up and fled the room, leaving Hermoine and Ron grinning from ear to ear. Harry stood outside Ginny's room, he hadn't had time to think of what he was going to say. He knocked timidly on the door, a second later Ginny answered the door in just her nightshirt. Harry turned a lobster shade o pink, while Ginny looked embarrassed. Ginny was the first to recover,
'So, Harry what brings you ....' Ginny was cut up suddenly by Harry grabbing her tight and kissing her passionately, when he let go he mumbled,
'I'm sorry I would have lost courage if I hadn't done it straight away, I love you Ginny Weasley.' With that Ginny grabbed Harry and pulled him inside her room,
'I love you too Harry,' she whispered and closed the door.
A/N: for all of you who are asking, Hermoine didn't sleep with Draco or even kiss him, she was just leading him on! Told you I wouldn't make her a slut!! Keep reviewing!!
