Hermione lay awake that night thinking about everything to do with her and Ron.
She liked him. That part was evident. She always had, she just never knew how he felt about her. so she had set aside her feelings for Ron. No matter what he thought, there had never been anything serious between her and Viktor. The only reason he had invited her to his manor that summer was because he needed a tutor in one of his classes and she had offered to help. But that was as far as it had ever gone.
But with Ron, it could go so much farther. She loved him, and ever since reading his journal, she knew he loved her.
So what should she do? He was her best friend, and if things didn't work out, or if his mind had changed, then she could practically guarantee to lose him forever.
Was it worth it?
Yes a voice said in the back of her head. It's worth it. And besides, you don't write stuff like that and change your mind in two weeks.
You just have to trust yourself, Hermione. Just try. And remember, you went in as friends. if it doesn't work, then come out of it like friends.
It's all you've got.
The next morning, when Ginny and Hermione were getting dressed, Hermione saw the bracelet on Ginnys wrist and decided to ask about the true nature of the charms.
"Well, the Cupid is for the Valentine i sent Harry in your second year. The broomstick is for
the first time we kissed. We were on the Quidditch field, practicing, just Harry and me. Well, we were doing some extreme flying and i fell of my broom. Luckily we weren't very high up. But Harry was on the ground and caught me. And he kissed Me." she smiled at the memory. "And the clover... we were by the lake and we started goofing around and he started tickling me. There was clover all over the place. Well, I rolled over on top of him and all of a sudden
it was just...we were... i don't know. But that was the first time we said we loved each other."
Hermione smiled, thinking it was so good for both of them, to have someone like each other.
"And last night, Harry asked me out."
"O my god! You said yes right?!"
"Of course I did! I've never been so happy in my entire life!" Ginny gushed.
"Are you guys going to tell Ron?" Hermione asked, concerned for both Harry and Ginny, as Ron was very protective.
"Were going to tell him tonight, when we go to Diagon Alley. And speaking of Ron, when are the two of you going to hook up?"
