Ron and Hermione were both in the library working. Each had a different book on prophecies and was trying to figure out what Harry had meant.
"This would be so much easier if I was still taking Divination!"
"So these prophecy things are like the prediction that Trelawney made to Harry in our third year?"
"Yes, but what prophecy is Harry talking about!"
"I don't know!"
"Well, we know it's the glass orb in the Department of Mysteries. But...none of us heard what that said. And besides, it was destroyed...wasn't it?"
"It'll be hard getting Harry to talk to us about it. I mean, he's still in pain because of what happened to Sirius. I don't think he wants to talk about anything that happened around the time that Sirius died."
"Ron, you're right, but this is important. I...he...oh, I suppose he'll tell us when he's ready."
The two closed their books and headed up towards the common room. After they had left Harry sat down at the table with his head in his hands.
He wanted to tell Ron and Hermione the truth. He wanted to tell them that he was the only one who could stop Voldemort, but he just couldn't bring himself to place such a burden upon them. It was bad enough that they thought Voldemort was after him, but if they learned the reason who knew what they'd do? Then there was the fact that he was still fuming at Dumbledore. He had refused to tell Harry what was hidden. Said it would get his hopes and anger up.
With all of these thoughts in mind Harry made his way out of the Library. He trooped up to the common room and went to find Ron and Hermione. Suddenly he stopped in the portrait hole. Ron! Ron's feelings for Hermione! He had been meaning to ask him about that for a long time. He decided he'd speak to Ron when all the other boys in the dormitory were asleep.
Harry climbed through the portrait hole and saw Ron and Hermione sitting in their usual chairs by the fire. He made his way over to them and without saying hello began to explain about the prophecy. Whatever they had been expecting, that hadn't been it. The three of them sat in silence for a long time mulling things over in their heads. Then Hermione said she had too much to think about and climbed up the staircase to the girls' dormitories. A little while later Harry confronted Ron.
"Hey Ron, do you have feelings for Hermione?"
"WHAT?"
"Calm down, mate. I was just curious."
"No...maybe...well yes. I've sort of fancied her for a while but she's going out with 'Vicky'." He said the name in a mocking tone. "It's a hopeless cause."
"Why didn't you tell me?"
"I was sucking up the courage to in fourth year but then that Skeeter woman said you two were a couple and I thought you fancied her."
"Well, if you aren't going to get up the nerve to talk to Hermione you might as well date Luna."
"Don't even joke about that."
"I'm not joking."

Authors Note: I am sure that you are all wondering why on Earth I would have Ron admit his feelings for Hermione when I really support Harry and Hermione. Look at the category this is under.

Desipoplover: Glad to hear that other people are requesting your expertise in beta reading. You have been a really big help for me. No problem that you couldn't do the more chapters. I know what its like to have extended family visit you.

Actionmaster: Of course I care about you starting high school! All super heros have to have a proper education after all. Did you wait? Did you find out? Good! I have to start high school Setember 8th. I am NOT looking forward to it.

Funness: You didn't think of it because I reserved it from the idea tank. While Trepur is an honest woman and I think that she has emotional problems. It was kind of like when Harry talked to Dobby. Also she probaly felt that Harry deserved to know about his parents. I know what you mean about cliffhangers but I can't resist sometimes. I still think you should kill him off. That would get you past writters block for sure!
