Catch me if I fall...don't if I jump
Harry's POV
The note said to meet her in the astronomy tower at 2 am. So here I am and there she is. She's beautiful standing near that ledge, but only in a sisterly way. I've been worried for her for some time now. She and Ron just had a horrible break up and I think it has been really hard on her. No one knows why they broke up. Well maybe now she'll tell me.
Hermione's POV
Wow! He looks wonderful. He always looks good, even at two in the morning. Well here it goes. "Harry, I'm glad you came." "Of course I would, but why so late?" "Because I have to tell you something and you're always around someone so I can never speak to you alone without someone overhearing or interrupting." I'm so nervous telling him all this but if I don't then I couldn't stand it. "Harry, do you know the reason why Ron and I broke up? Of course you don't, we never told you or anyone for that matter. It's because of you Harry." "Me? Why me?" "Because I love you. I've always loved you. I've been so depressed keeping these feelings inside. I went out with Ron to see if these feelings for you were true and to get rid of them, but I can't. That's why Ron and I broke up, because he knows I love you. Please Harry tell me you feel the same." Then I whispered in a small voice, "Harry I don't think I could live without you by my side."
Harry's POV
To say I'm shocked would be an understatement. But I have to tell her the truth, she deserves to know. "Hermione, I do love you, but only as a sister. We could never be together like that. Also I have a secret to confess that know one knows yet. Herms, I love Ginny. We've been going out for years now and I'm going to ask her to marry me after we're both out of school." I saw her go so still, silent tears running down her face. I reached to wipe them off her face but she moved away. She was already on the ledge, she couldn't go any farther. "Herms, please..." I reached for her again and she fell. "Hermione!" I watched her fall, me, Harry the-boy-who- lived Potter, couldn't save her.
My first herms/draco fic. Reviews are welcome.
