Simply You
Chapter 3
Next chappie is here! Enjoy.
Ron opened his brilliant blue eyes. The sun absolutely gleamed through the windows. He woke up feeling happier this morning.
He got out of bed and put on his clothes. Then, he headed into the common room where Harry was sitting on the couch, lost in thought.
"Hey Harry" he called anxiously to him.
"Oh hey Ron" he seemed to have woken from his thoughts. "I was waiting for you. We're gunna be late for potions"
"I don't care if Snape puts me in a weeks' worth detention for being late! Nothing can ruin my day" Ron grabbed his bag and began to head out of the portrait hole.
"Oh well ok" Harry smiled confusingly.
As they headed down to the dungeons, about five girls were crowded around something Harry and Ron couldn't see.
Ron looked over to them and pushed through the crowd. "What's going on?" he asked a girl.
"Hah... just look over there" She whispered. Ron peered over some of their heads. They were all whispering. "Oh and be quiet. They don't know we're watching."
Ron snuck to the front of the small crowd to see-
The sight struck him like a blade driving into his stomach.
"Hermione" he gasped silently.
Sure enough she was propped up against a bookcase, right against her a boy from their grade. He was talking to Hermione very gently, and the boy had his arms around her waist. Hermione was listening to him kind of uncomfortably.
"Looks like their relationship isn't a secret anymore!" Lavender and Parvati were giggling quietly behind Ron.
"Who is that?!" Ron turned to face the girls, his ears bright red.
"His name's Enrique. He just got here a month ago and apparently he's taken a liking to Hermione." Parvati peeked over Ron's shoulder to get a better look.
Ron was completely taken aback. What the hell was this guy trying to do? He just shows up out of nowhere and takes a liking to Hermione of all people?
Enrique was very tanned. He had deep brown eyes and black hair. Ron couldn't see how Hermione could fall for this. He looked like the biggest jerk ever.
"What the hell?" he said it so loud, Hermione and Enrique looked towards him.
Ron's eyes opened wide and he pursed his lips.
"Oh thank god" Hermione muttered from behind Enrique's protecting embrace.
"Alright there is nothing to see here" He looked at them all; his voice was deep and rich. "Everyone out"
Ron stood there frozen to the spot. "Hermione?" he repeated again.
"Who is this?" said Enrique, striding towards Ron.
Hermione hesitated for a minute then cleared her throat. "I don't know Enrique"
Ron just looked at her. She was pretending to not know him? "What? Her-"
"Well he doesn't seem to want to leave..."
Ron suddenly felt searing pain in his head as he was driven backwards and collided into the wall.
"Ron!" he heard a scrambled call that sounded like Harry speaking into a megaphone.
He could see a blurred image of Hermione standing there looking petrified. Ron gave her what he thought was a look of longing. Before he knew it, everything had gone black.
Ron awoke in the hospital wing. Hermione, Enrique and Harry were standing over him.
"Ah he is coming to... Madame Pomfrey... get over here please" Enrique's manly voice rang through Ron's head.
Suddenly he remembered.
"YOU ASSHOLE!" he shouted with all his strength, "CURSING ME LIKE THAT" he would've shouted more, but his head pounded so hard, it was unbearable.
"Ron, please..." Hermione said quietly.
"No... no he cursed me" Ron looked up feebly at Madame Pomfrey.
Hermione looked very carefully at Ron. She had to try so hard not to bend over and kiss him...
"Iz this true?" she asked Enrique looking aghast.
"Oh no Madame. He actually tried to attack me with his wand. I moved though, and it backfired I guess" Enrique replied simply.
"That is a lie!" Ron held his head in his hands.
"Hush now Ron. You must sleep" He rested his hand on Ron's forehead.
"NO!" he screamed with all his might; and knocked Enrique's arm off his forehead.
"Tut tut... see Madame Pomfrey? The loathing he feels towards me. That is why he attacked me"
Ron lay there stunned. "That isn't... not... not true..." he gasped. His head was aching so badly he wondered how much longer he could stand it.
"Madame Pomfrey." Hermione finally had spoken up, "Ron did not attack Enrique. It was the opposite way around"
"Yeah" agreed Harry
"Well that's what I was guessing..." mumbled Madame Pomfrey.
Enrique looked furiously over to Hermione. "Later..." he whispered, "you will regret that"
Hermione got a look of worry in her eyes. Ron didn't know what was going on. He just lay his head down and closed his eyes, head throbbing...
A couple days later, Ron was released from the hospital wing. From then on, he felt the greatest loathing towards Enrique, but Hermione.... he was so confused! Love? Hate? Even though she saved his neck, she was going out with him. Of all people it had to be Hermione, again.What made her so attractive? Her chocolate brown eyes? Her smarts? What was it?
"Why?" he said to Harry. "First Viktor and now this"
"I dunno... it's not like Hermione to be so reckless with her choices is it?"
"No! And especially with that" Ron clenched his fists together. "Well... at least the visit to Hogsmeade is coming up, we can go to Honeydukes and buy tons of candy to get my mind off everything..."
Harry looked uneasy, "Um well Ron... Cho and I were planning to go to Hogsmeade as a date"
Ron stopped walking and looked at him. "Oh"
"But its ok!" he added hastily, "I owe you for the Christmas present, so you can come along with Cho and I"
Ron looked at him for a moment as if he was crazy. But he finally said "Fine"
"I'll let her know first thing tomorrow before the trip. And oh- I forgot to tell you... I asked Cho to go steady with me" Harry looked excited, "and she said yes"
"Wow that's great..." Ron looked down at the ground. Like he said a while back, everyone was happy and together but him. Now he felt more alone than ever...
A/N: little flashback when Harry asked Cho out
If you want: One Summer's Day: Spirited Away
It was dark on the grounds, but about 20 feet away, The Gardens were colorful and many misty lights were shining from the beds of roses and lilies. The Gardens were a place that could only be accessed by sixth and seventh years. It was a place where love... blossomed.
Harry walked determinedly to The Gardens. He was going to ask Cho. He was going to do it.
He reached the entrance to the flower sanctuary a little sooner than he expected. Harry stood there for a minute, regaining his confidence. Clutched in one hand was a bouquet of flowers. He was going to do this right.
Harry walked in, through the white wooden arch.
It was like he suddenly entered a heavenly scented sanctuary. Everything was peaceful.
The garden was so beautiful. All the flowers looked perfect, there wasn't one that didn't shimmer or sparkle. Little rain droplets were falling over everything like mist. In the center of everything, were a couple white benches grown over with ivy. Also, there was a beautiful pond, which flowed around the trees and the cobblestone pathway (in which Harry was walking along). It went on forever, but the waterfall in which the water was coming from was seen behind some cherry blossom trees. Seated in a bed of roses was a little fountain; it had statues around it, and the water inside it glowed a pale blue. The night sky above Harry glittered with stars.
"Wow this place is heaven" Harry sat down, suddenly noticing the flowers in his hands looked shriveled compared to the ones in The Gardens. He put them down and sniffed a large rose bush. The fragrance was almost possessing.
He suddenly remembered Cho was supposed to meet him right about now. He sat on the edge of the fountain, playing with the water.
"Hello Harry" said a sweet voice.
"Cho" Harry smiled at her, "hey hun"
"Hey" she looked in his eyes and gave him a kiss, "this place is just gorgeous..." she bent over and smelt a cluster of lilies.
"Mmm..." she straightened, her eyes closed, "beautiful"
"Yeah..." he took Cho's hand and seated her on a bench. "I asked you to come here so I could ask you something..."
"Yes Harry" she said to him with a placid look on her face.
"Well..." he slowly slid off the bench onto one knee. He gently took Cho's hand in his, and began to speak.
"Cho. Would you do me the honor..." he began, "of being my girlfriend"
She was smiling and absolutely overcome with emotion from Harry's tiny speech.
"Harry" she began through tears, "Oh my... Harry I love you" she threw her arms around him and he lifted her up off the bench. They spun around and Cho laughed and cuddled Harry.
"Of course I'll be your girlfriend!" tears were now streaming down her face.
"Cho. You've made me the happiest guy on earth!" Harry picked a red rose from the bush and gave it to her.
"Thank you Harry" she smiled.
They sat down and began to kiss. Cho was soon on top of him (they were now a little damp because of the mist) and Harry held her hands in his.
Later on, Harry and Cho relaxed on the bench. She yawned and stretched herself out against Harry. He picked another flower and sniffed it. Then, the fragrance lingering below his nose, he too fell asleep with Cho in his arms; the garden sparkling round him.
Ron was upstairs in the dorm, getting ready for the trip to Hogsmeade. He had his gloves on and his knit winter hat. He slipped on his old brown jacket and met Harry at the door.
"Right, ready to go?" Harry asked him. He was rather excited.
"Yeah... yeah let's go"
They were soon at the entrance to the town of Hogsmeade. All the crooked shops bent over them. Every shop had colorful items in the windows. Some shops had display counters outside covered in sweets and butter beer brewers. The streets were crowded with witches and wizards of all sizes.
"How are we supposed to find Cho?" Ron asked Harry
"I said I would meet her in the Hog's Head Inn then we could go to this café I found"
"Perfect..." mumbled Ron. Harry didn't hear him over the bustle of the crowds.
Harry steered him into the Hog's Head Inn. It was much less crowded in here. "Cho!" Harry called over his shoulder.
Ron turned around tiredly and spotted Cho. "Time for the day to begin..."
From then on, they went to the café, Cho and Harry arm in arm. Ron was walking behind them. Cho tried to liven up conversation with Ron so he wouldn't feel left out, but it was too late for him to not feel left out.
They stopped at the café and got a booth for two... Ron squeezed in on the edge of Harry's seat.
"I'll have a butter beer" he said with a rasp in his voice, to the waiter.
"And for the couple?" He motioned towards Harry and Cho who were hand in hand and talking intently to each other.
"Oh- Cho what do you want, baby?"
Baby? Thought Ron. Harry's never talked like this before.
"I'll just have brewed nectar juice" she said to the waiter.
"And I'll have a butter beer" added Harry.
The waiter left and Ron was sitting on the edge of Harry's seat again. He felt so annoyed. Just ignore Ron... he's single...
"Harry mah lil hunnie" he heard Cho say in a very romantic voice.
"Cho I love you" Harry then touched her cheek with his hand and gave her a long kiss.
Ron sat there grumpily, Harry wouldn't stop moving around.
"Harry I erm-" Ron began, but Cho was rustling Harry's hair and he couldn't hear anything around him.
"OK Harry I'm gunna go" Ron got up from his seat. They didn't even hear him. Now Cho was leaning over the table, pushing Harry into the back of his seat, her lips glued to his.
"Um... see you then"
He shoved open the door and headed out into the cold.
"Where shall I go on this absolutely splendid day?" he said sarcastically. He couldn't believe how much was going wrong.
Just when things looked like they couldn't get better, he bumped into a girl with bushy brown hair for the second time...
"Oh I'm so sorry excuse me..." she fumbled.
Ron looked up at her. Hermione's face was tear stained and her hands had large scratches on them.
"Hermione? What- what's wrong?"
"Oh Ron thank god" a sad smile appeared on her face.
She hugged him tightly. Ron was so confused. A thousand questions flooded through his mind. He thought they were mad at each other.
"What's the matter?" he asked her, holding onto her arms.
"I- I've got to go" she had sudden fear in her eyes. "Ron, please don't upset Enrique. I'll get hurt for it"
Ron looked after her very confused. She would get hurt? Why would that happen?
"Hermione wait!" he called after her, but she didn't stop running.
That hug still lingered in his arms. Why did she have to let go
Many days went by. Ron heeded Hermione's warning about Enrique. He didn't seem like the kind of boyfriend for Hermione... so why didn't she break it off with him? Ron couldn't answer any of the questions and neither could Hermione. She kept quiet all the time. She didn't stick with her friends anymore. Hermione just went to class and studied by herself. Occasionally she would be with Enrique, but during those times, she seemed to be feeling her worst.
Ron woke up. It was the day before Valentines Day and the dance.
Every morning was the same until this one. Everyone was crowded around the staff table in the Great Hall, writing on bright pink and red, glittering hearts.
Ron found Harry at the table, he had got an incredibly large Valentine for Cho. It had little lights around the edges and the red shone and bared the words:
Love you so much
All the time
But today is special
I'll be extra kind
Loving Cho Chang
4ever
Ron walked over to Harry. "Nice card"
"Thanks" said Harry admiring it himself.
Without thinking, Ron grabbed a card and he began to write.
Hermione
I see you are taken. I don't care. I'll fight my way to you.
I love you Hermione. I always have and I won't push you away.
Please just give me a chance.
I'd do anything to sit and look at you.
I'm sorry about anything I did to hurt you.
I miss you. I miss you so badly I just can't forget you.
Everything is miserable without you standing beside me.
I let you slip right through my fingers.
It was the most terrible mistake I could have ever made.
Continuing my life without you would be my death.
I realize that now.
I want to laugh with you again.
I want to lie in the Gardens with you
And I will be the best I can be
I'll be there soon enough.
I'm in love with you.
Love, Ron
"Ron that's a long card" Harry told him over his shoulder.
"I've got a lot to say" said Ron squeezing in a little 'xo' at the end of the message. "I'm gunna go to the dorm and see Hermione" he said dropping the valentine into the bin. 'Wow that card was crap. I can't write' Ron thought to himself. At least it explained some things.
"Alright" he heard Harry call behind him.
He ran up the grand staircase, completely out of breath when he reached the Fat Lady and said the password.
"Hermione?" He called into the room.
No one was there.
"Hermione!" he called again.
No answer.
Ron looked around, incredibly disappointed.
"I guess I have to wait until the dance" he said to himself.
It seemed to take forever for Valentines Day to come. Ron lay awake in his bed for hours. So many thoughts were buzzing in his mind.
He was going to ask Hermione to dance, obviously.
Even if Enrique threatened to beat him with a bat, he was still going to dance with her.
He even wondered if Hermione would want to dance with him in the first place. Then another thought struck him. He couldn't dance.
Ron dropped his head onto his pillow and stared at the maroon curtains draped over his head. There wasn't anything he could do while lying in bed. He would just have to pray everything would go ok.
Everyone woke up very lively the next morning. Ron actually slept in late and his whole body was tangled in the covers. When he tried to get out of bed, he fell over and stayed on the floor for ten minutes trying to undo the sheets.
Once he got up, he dressed in his normal clothes and headed downstairs.
"Hey Ron. Let's go to breakfast. I heard from Dobby that everything is going to be in the shape of hearts. Funny eh?" Harry chortled.
"Yeah" said Ron, laughing himself.
It was actually true. When they got down to the Great Hall, the enchanted ceiling had transparent hearts falling from it. The table clothes were gold and pink and all the food was dyed pink and red. The pancakes were in the shape of hearts. The scrambled eggs had been formed into X and Os (amazingly).
After looking at everything around him, Ron spotted Hermione. She was sitting quietly, while Enrique smiled wickedly at her from the Slytherin table.
Ron felt the deepest loathing for him and would have gone over to his table and punch him, but he remembered what Hermione said.
Feeling a little daring, Ron squeezed in between Harry and Hermione. "Hey Hermione" he said to her
She looked at him, apparently surprised. "Hello Ron"
"Sit somewhere else" she whispered urgently to him.
"What?" said Ron feeling offended.
"Please. You'll thank me later" she said sharply.
As Ron moved away, feeling like a wounded puppy, Professor Dumbledore stood up. He was in robes of baby pink and gold trimmings.
"Welcome to the Valentines Day feast! As you all know the dance will be beginning at 8 o'clock tonight. Dress robes are required and if the ladies wish, gowns will be permitted"
Hermione wiped a tear from her eye.
"Now that my little notice is finished, our house elves will hand out the Valentines" Dumbledore clapped his hands and about one hundred house elves sprinted into the Great Hall. They handed the hearts out politely, bowing incredibly low.
Harry obviously received one from Cho.
Hermione then got one. Ron's heart skipped a beat.
Ron, then received two of his own and Lavender and Parvati grinned very widely.
To his surprise, Hermione didn't get another one.
He spotted Enrique looking at the Valentine in shock. Ron felt a greedy satisfaction as his face drained of color.
Hermione looked frightened. She took the Valentine and quickly stuffed it into her pocket. Ron felt hurt. She didn't even read it.
After everyone opened their Valentines and hugged the people they loved, Ron was feeling absolutely miserable once again. He wanted to go up to Hermione and hug her also.
The sun was setting in the Gryffindor common room and everyone was bustling around, combing their hair and checking how they looked. Ron spent especially long on his hair. He put on his dress robe which was black and had maroon velvet around the cuffs. (Fred and George gave it to him for a Christmas present)
He looked incredibly handsome in his robes. He waited in the common room until Hermione came down.
Many people raced down the dorm stairs, but none was Hermione. Lavender and Parvati kept checking Ron out and pretended to be waiting for someone.
Finally, Hermione came down the stairs in a pale lavender gown. She was wearing a dainty silver necklace and her hair was up in a curly bun.
"Hermione" he raced up to her.
"Hi Ron" she said with a tiny smile. "You look nice"
"So do you" he sighed, "um Hermione could you open the Valen-"
Harry came down the stairs before he could finish and Hermione said she was in a rush and raced off, her satin dress trailing behind her.
Harry came up beside Ron, his heart thumping very quickly.
"Let's go" he straightened his hair over and over.
"OK" Ron said in a disappointed tone.
Ron obviously looked very handsome that night. When they went down to the Great Hall, many girls looked at him. One stopped him and began to sneak closer to him. Harry pulled him away.
"See you some other time" he called back to the girl.
When Harry pushed open the doors to the Great Hall, Ron's heart leapt. Everything was dark. There were tiny hearts floating above the dance floor. They were glowing in the dark.
People around them were helping themselves to punch and sweets. Harry had already greeted Cho, and they were heading onto the dance floor.
Ron looked wildly around for Hermione. He spotted her –not dancing on the dance floor- but being talked to by Enrique at a table. She was crying lightly as he seemed to be scolding her. Then he grabbed her hand and took her on the dance floor.
This is absurd thought Ron. Making her cry at a dance.
He just couldn't wait to dance with Hermione. His heart was thumping hard inside him. But then... seeing the view of Enrique and Hermione dancing; his hand sliding down to her behind was disgusting Ron.
Ron found a table in the far corner of the room. He sat there watching everyone. Parvati and Lavender eventually came over and asked him to dance. He politely refused.
They giggled and said it was ok.
The song was finally over after what seemed like hours watching them dance.
He got up and suddenly felt his knees turn to jello. He couldn't do this. But yes he could. He knew it would take courage... he began to walk, his legs slowly crumbling with each step he took.
She was standing on the dance floor talking to Enrique when Ron began to walk over.
"Why hello Ron" he said stiffly.
"Hi" Ron greeted coldly. "Hey Hermione" he said turning to Hermione.
"Ron... go please..." she muttered out of the corner of her mouth.
"No Hermione... I wanted to ask you..." the song began to play, "if you would dance with me"
Song: Slipped Away A/N: If you play the song, read the words carefully.
Hermione suddenly looked calm. She looked gently into his eyes.
"Now wait- Hermione is my girlfriend" Enrique butted in.
"I know, I just want to dance with my... friend" he gave a weak smile.
Enrique got a nasty smile on his face. "Fine then" and he walked away.
Ron slowly wrapped his arms around Hermione's waist. She took her arms and stretched them around Ron's neck.
Neither of them spoke. They just swayed from side to side. Ron had even forgotten that he couldn't dance. He pulled Hermione a little closer. She didn't pull away.
Even she wrapped her arms closer around Ron. Soon, their cheeks were touching. He slowly moved his head up. Hermione did too.
"Hermione..." he began in a quiet tone, "I'm happy we're dancing"
"Oh Ron... you don't know what this means to me..." she whispered, her eyes closed. Her eyelashes were wet...
They went cheek to cheek again. He felt a tear slide between their two cheeks. He moved his face so that his lips were against her cheek. He gave her the sweetest, simplest kiss...
Hermione held him closer. Ron was so happy...
"The day... you... slipped away..." Hermione sang quietly
"You won't slip away again..." Ron held her so close, he could hear her heart beating. He was so scared of this... he wasn't any good at being romantic.
The hearts on the ceiling glittered everywhere. Hermione was crying sweet tears. Ron was so happy he could've stayed like this forever...
Ron reached up one hand and put it on Hermione's back... It felt like magic... Ron could've sworn he was dreaming...
"I didn't get around to kiss you... goodbye on the hand" Ron whispered into her ear.
She smiled; the first real smile he had seen in months.
I wish that I could see you again
I know that I can't
I hope you can hear me...I remember it clearly
The day... you... slipped away...
Was the day...
I found it won't be the same...
She smiled and looked into those brilliant blue eyes...
I've had my wake up
Won't you wake up
I keep asking why...
And I can't take it... wasn't faking...
"It happened you passed by..."
"No I didn't. I'm still here..." Ron smiled.
They were both dancing atop of clouds. Nothing else mattered
The song ended a lot sooner than Ron expected. Hermione reluctantly let go of him. Ron wouldn't let it end here though.
He led her secretly out of the Great Hall. Hermione wasn't nervous about Enrique anymore. She followed.
"Where are we going, Ron?"
"You'll like it. Don't worry" he replied
He led her out of the castle, onto the grounds.
They walked hand in hand towards The Gardens. The white arch was visible against the dark grounds.
They went inside and heard a tiny gasp from Hermione. She walked ahead of him, and stopped to look at the fountain. It looked so magical.
Hermione ran up to Ron and stopped an inch away from his face. "This place is perfect Ron" She stood on her tip toes and gave him a kiss on his lips.
He craned his neck down to Hermione's height, still keeping the kiss. When she let go, Ron opened his eyes to see Hermione's still closed. She seemed to be savoring it.
Ron gazed at her face for a moment. She was so beautiful.
"ALRIGHT I'VE SEEN ENOUGH" a voice suddenly shouted from behind.
"Enrique" Ron said, standing in front of Hermione, "what the hell do you want"
"I'VE SEEN ENOUGH" he shrieked yet again. He lashed his wand in the air like a sword. Ron pulled Hermione out of the way as the spell sliced through the fountain. A stone angel crashed to the ground.
They ran through the trees and hid behind a rosebush. "Listen Hermione..." Ron whispered frantically, "I want you to get out of here. Hurry please"
Hermione started to cry, "This is all my-"
But she couldn't finish her sentence. Another spell cut the rosebush clean out of the ground.
Enrique sent wild spells everywhere, slicing all the trees and flowers. The lights in the flower beds were smashed and the garden was dark and frightening with all the sliced petals and trees lying dead on the ground.
Suddenly, it began to rain harder. Ron was holding Hermione close, blocking her from the buckets of water coming down.
"Rictusempra!" Ron shouted, barely audible in the thunder.
The spell knocked Enrique right in the back. He flew across the garden and rammed into the stone wall that separated the garden from the Hogwarts grounds.
"C'mon Hermione" Ron grabbed her hand and they ran.
Enrique got up feebly and shouted, "Crucio!"
Ron let go of Hermione's hand and writhed in pain. It felt like his spine was burning. He was twisting in all directions possible. He screamed in agony, then fell to the floor, his bones aching.
"RON!" Hermione screamed and ran to his side.
"YOU WICKED SCUM" she shouted to Enrique, "I SHOULD NEVER HAVE MET YOU!"
Ron weakly got up and stood in front of Hermione. "Get away Enrique..."
"Oh I see we haven't learned our lesson yet!" Enrique shouted, a mad gleam in his eye, "CRUCIO!"
Ron felt the burning sensation once again. Everything was going white. He felt his brain about to explode- he couldn't take it.
He heard Hermione's voice screaming, "ENRIQUE! THOSE CURSES ARE ILLEGAL!"
"Not for me" he sneered.
Ron's vision came back and he spotted Enrique pushing up his sleeve. The dark mark was on his arm.
He then looked over to Hermione, Ron had to try his best not to faint. He felt so dizzy, so confused, so in love, so sad, so mad. He was feeling all possible emotion at the same time...
Ron got up, his heart pounding hard. He took gasping breaths, his chest seemed too tight to breath. His bones felt so weak, but he had to protect Hermione.
She on the other hand was standing behind Ron. She was sobbing and holding her head in her hands. "Ron!"
"You don't know how much I hate you" Ron gasped to Enrique.
"I've got a good idea" he sneered. "Crucio" he said simply.
Everything exploded. He couldn't take it... he was going to die any minute... "I l- love you Hermione!" He shouted from his bindings. He had to tell her
The spell lifted suddenly. He lay on the ground and he saw Enrique's blurred face very shocked.
"What?" he asked in a deadly whisper
"I love Her- Hermione" Ron tried to control his breathing.
Hermione had her hands cupped against her mouth. "I should've... oh Ron..."
Ron felt all the pain disappear as he uttered those words. Those words were very special...
She wrapped her arms around Ron's limp body. He still couldn't feel his limbs... but he could feel enough as to feel Hermione's lips touch his.
"Hermione" He smiled
She was in tears. "I'm sorry Ron"
Enrique remained standing there. Watching them pained him deeply. He had grown to like Hermione... and she had always been in love with Ron. Why hadn't he seen it?
......
......
......
......
Ron had his arm around Hermione's shoulders. She was snuggling up to his chest as they walked down the crowded streets of Hogsmeade. Cho and Harry were walking beside them.
Harry and Cho headed into the Three Broomsticks.
Ron just stopped and let go of Hermione.
He turned to face her, and held her arms. "I-... I love you" it was so hard to tell her at first... that was his greatest fear... but now it felt so much easier now that she knew.
She didn't say anything. Smiling broadly, she just wrapped her arms around him and kissed him deeply.
Ron embraced her and kissed every inch of her neck and face.
Hermione let go for a moment and pulled out the tattered valentine Ron had written to her. "Thank you"
THE END
I hope you enjoyed it, it wasn't one of my best... but I'm going to start a new fic about Ron and Hermione. I assure you it will be more intriguing. But thanks for reading this one!
