Prologue

Ron Weasley sat in his house, the Burrow, during the summer of his fifth year. That year ended with a bang just like all of his years. Having Harry Potter for a best friend was a reason for that. Harry was famous for having defeated You-Know-Who countless times. Ron's other friend, Hermione Granger, was the smartest in their year. She was a prefect, as was Ron. Ron was happy that he finally beat Harry at something until he found out Dumbledore made Ron a prefect and not Harry because Harry was going through a lot and Dumbledore didn't want to add any more pressure on him. Ron didn't deserve to be a prefect at all. He was just doing others work.

Ron felt depressed at that idea. Why was he a nobody? Even in his family he was a nobody. His oldest brother bill was head boy in Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Charlie was Quidditch captain. Percy was a prefect and head boy and made his parents proud during his school years. Fred and George were twins who were funny and made cool stuff. Ginny was the only girl. Only he, was a nobody. All he was recognized was "the chess player", or "Harry potter's friend", or "the twin's brother."

All these thoughts passed through Ron's mind. Ron was lying on his bed looking at the roof. He sat there for a while thinking. Then he realized another thing. Every time he looked at Hermione, he felt nervous. There was always this tingly feeling in his stomach when she was around. He thought she was beautiful. After five long years of realization, he realized he liked, no loved, Hermione. Hermione, though, thought of him only as a friend, no more.

Ron sighed and rolled over. He propped his chin on his hands. Why was life so complicated. All he wanted was to be known, be special, and be loved. He didn't want to be a nobody. That wasn't what he wanted. no, he wanted power, control. He wanted people to fear his name. He wanted people to shudder when they heard Ron Weasley. He wanted to be noticed. He want4d to be different from others. But most of all, he wanted Hermione to like him.

Sorry its short, the next chapter is going to be much longer. This story is all planned out, just needs to be typed. (my other story will be updated soon, sorry to those who are waiting) I hope you enjoyed! R & R!
