Haunting Dreams and Sleepless Nights
Chapter five
Harry and Hermione were sitting on a blanket outside by the lake. Hermione was thumbing through a book while Harry pulled the petals off a flower.
For a long time Harry had known he was in love with Hermione. He loved everything about her. He loved the way she spoke, smelled, and laughed. Though she seemed to be laughing less and less these days. And it was when he thought of things like this that Harry felt a sudden desire to take Hermione up in his arms. However cliché it sounded he knew that it was true.
Hermione sat her book down, "You've been doing that for an hour."
Harry looked up.
Hermione scooted closer to him and took the flower from his hands.
"Harry" she stopped.
A sudden noise on the other side of the lake made them both start. They saw a couple of teenage boys had lit a firework.
Harry shook his head, "Some people are so inconsiderate."
Hermione laughed at this. "Harry, when we were that age we would've done the same thing!"
Harry cracked a smile, she was right. She was always right.
"You know when Ron-" Harry started.
"Harry!" Hermione said sharply. "This entire week you've spoken of Ron! I don't want to speak of him!"
Harry stared at her. Her eyes filled with tears and her lips began to tremble.
"Don't you understand? I want to forget. Oh, Harry, I know it's wrong. I know that he was important to me but it hurts to think of him. God! Sometimes I want to fold my memories up like letters and stick them in the desk drawer for good! Harry it is not Ron that was my best friend! It was not Ron who was there for me! It is not Ron that my heart belongs to."
Harry stared at her and took her hand.
"It is you Harry." She began to cry harder. "It has always been you. You have always come first. You have always been the most important thing in my life. Always."
"And you" Harry said.
The End
A/N I know, I know. THE END?! But it is. I don't want to get all cliché and sappy because trust me no one would be happy. This way you guys can figure out what you want to happen. And Blakeâ please keep your version PG. LOL!
