Chapter 5: Harry or Ron?
Ginny knew things were definitely over between her and Harry, even if Hermione stayed with Ron.
She figured right now, Hermione needed her, and, as much as she thought she loved Harry, she knew she loved Hermione a damn sight more.
They were like sisters, she loved Hermione so much and didn't want to see her get hurt.
She knew deep down that Hermione loved Ron, how could anyone not?
But it was completely different to how she felt about Harry.
Hermione spent most of her time arguing or playfighting with Ron.
She spoke to Harry, they talked about anything and everything, except for how they felt about eachother.
Ginny knew they had feelings for eachother, even if Hermione didn't.
But that was all going to change for Hermione today.
She was about to realise that Harry loved her.
He loved her the way that Ginny loved Harry.
True, she could always react in a different way to the she was reacting, but she didn't see the point in making everyone else suffer.
So, she put on her dressing gown and went down for breakfast.
It was around about 10a.m. now, the time they usually had breakfast.
She trudged down the stairs, where only her mother and Hermione were, and sat down next to Hermione, stroking her hair as she sat down.
That may sound kind of weird, that she would stroke Hermione's hair, but just patting it very slightly was a way of welcoming her, without saying anything.
Times like these, they didn't need to speak, they just knew how the other was feeling.
For instance, Ginny knew Hermione was wondering what happened last night, and Hermione knew Ginny was thinking they were in for a long day.
Harry and Ron came down for breakfast, not saying a word to eachother.
Hermione said good morning to each of them, whilst they just grumbled in reply.
"Some one woke up on the wrong side of the bed!" she said to Ron.
"I wouldn't BE on the wrong side of the bed if you were in it, instead of crawling into someone else's."
Hermione looked really confused at what Ron had just said to her.
Ginny decided it was about time someone told Hermione what was going on.
"Hermione, have you finished?"
"Yes."
"Then lets go."
Ginny grabbed her hand and dragged her upstairs.
It wasn't going to be easy telling Hermione, but someone had to do it.
"I take it you know why they're acting so weird then?"
"Erm...... well, yeah I do. You see Hermione, they are both in love with you."
"But... they can't be. Harry... Harry's with you."
"Not no more. He thought I was you last night when I went in Ron's room looking for him. He confessed his undying love for you, shame he did it to the wrong person though."
"Oh, Gin I'm so sorry!"
"Don't be, its hardly your fault, but what are you going to do? He told Ron that you don't love him the way you love Harry."
"He has no right to say that! He can't read my mind! For all he knows I could think that he's repulsive!"
"And do you?"
"I don't know. I.... well... when you were going out with him I had a crush on him. I should have told you."
"You didn't have to. I already knew."
"You did?"
"Yeah. And don't worry, I've had a long think about it, and we weren't right together. Whatever you decide to do, I'm happy for you."
"Thanks. But I've gone off of Harry in the last couple of days. Ever since I wrote to him telling him I was unhappy with Ron, I've regretted it. I love Ron, I really do, but I love Harry as well. However, I love neither of them romantically. What do you think I should do?"
"Follow your heart. You need some time to think about that. I'll go and take a shower. Will you be okay?" Hermione smiled.
"Will you?"
"Yes."
"Then so will I."
"We'll stick together through this. Okay?"
"Sure." Ginny walked into the bathroom, while Hermione threw herself onto the bed, placed a pillow over her face and screamed.
