Hey! Sorry it's been a while! Here it goes!
Hermione ran into Ginny's room, nearly crying from her hysteria. Oh she had been so stupid! She should have just lied and never told Ron about dating Victor "Finished fighting already?" asked Ginny not noticing Hermione's tears. Hermione sat on the bed. "You're crying! Hermione, what did Ron do this time? Honestly, could I possibly have more of a git for a brother than—"
"—I almost told him!"
"Almost told him what?"
"The truth about Victor and me—"
"—That he was trying to—"
"No! I almost told him why I broke up with Victor in the first place."
"Oh." Said Ginny not sounding too alarmed. "Well, I wouldn't worry about
that, Hermione. Ron's too thick to figure it out."
"No, he knows! He really does!"
"I doubt he even suspects—"
"I'm serious!"
"Tell me how the conversation went."
"Ok, well we he hadn't allowed me to speak more than two seconds so I could never explain to him that I used to date Victor, so I was letting him know
and then—and then it almost slipped out!"
"What exactly did you say?"
"I said, 'and the truth is, I broke up with him for' and then I stopped
myself. You should have seen the look on his face! Oh, I've ruined everything! Now Ron will hardly talk to me, and Harry will be put in an odd
situation and—"
"Hermione, calm down! Don't worry about it! You're just overreacting. He
probably doesn't get it, and even if he does, it'll be ok! He probably thinks you broke up with Victor just because he kept bugging you about him.
Don't worry! In a week, he'll have forgotten."
"No but—"
"Trust me Hermione."
"Are you sure?"
"Positive."
"But what if he brings—"
"—He won't. All you need to do is pretend like nothing happen. Then, even if your words somehow managed to reach his brain, he'll just think he was
wrong and forget about it."
Hermione thought about this. Maybe Ginny was right. It wasn't like she hadn't dropped some obvious clues before. I mean, hello! After their row following the Yule Ball, Hermione was sure he'd have gotten the picture. (And if he had gotten the picture, he sure didn't act like it.) Hermione exhaled a breath she had been holding. She relaxed a bit. Maybe Ginny was right.
But then again...maybe not...
Ron had moved from the dinner table to the couch. Had what he thought just happened, actually happened? Had the single thing he had been hoping for most nearly flown out of her mouth a mere minute ago? Did Hermione Granger actually love him?
It couldn't be possible, could it? Of course he had always dreamed of the possibility, but had those dreams just nearly come true? OK, so she hadn't actually said "Ron Weasley I love you" or anything close to that really. Heck, maybe it had absolutely nothing to do with him! Maybe she fancied Harry, or maybe even Seamus. (That was most likely it.)
Or maybe it had nothing to with whom she did or did not fancy. Maybe she broke up with him because of the way he, himself, was always annoying her about Viktor. Or maybe Viktor had done something to her...something awful. Ron felt a sudden surge of anger and the need to knock a certain Quidditch Player to the moon. He had half a mind to write to Viktor now and yell at him for whatever he had done!
Ron tried to calm himself down. Who knows the reason Hermione broke up with Viktor? (Whatever it was, he was glad Hermione had finally come to her senses. Dating some older brute that she hardly knew! Sheesh!)
Ron kicked back and made himself comfortable on the couch. He'd probably never know. The only person who knew the real reason was her, Hermione. "Or maybe Ginny!"
Please review and tell me what you think! Thanks for reading! I'll post soon!
