A Cry For Help- Chapter Nine

Anyway I just hope that it is not the person who we think it is. I have to get to sleep now, I am really tired. Night.

Another week had passed. No freaky letters, just absurd occurances. The usual following and watching between Harry and Hermione. Ron was mad at them. He knew something was going on between the two. He just didn't know what it was and he wanted to know. After all, they have been the 'golden trio' since their first year. But to Ron it now seems like the 'golden trio' is now the 'golden duo'.

:Ron's POV:

I would really like to know what is wrong with Harry and Hermione. They seem to be talking about something that they don't want me to find out. My two best friends won't let me in on what they know and what's going on with them. We've let each other in on some of our deepest darkest secrets. Then, all of a sudden, it is just the two of them. Not the three of us, just the two of them.

Harry told me, he always loved Hermione. I do too, she is like a sister to me. But Harry never said anything about whether or not he loved her as a sister or more than that.

Then, today I found out how he meant that he loved her.

:Normal POV:

A few hours ago in Head Tower common room...

"I just don't understand this! Why are we getting these stupid threat letters? What did we do to deserve this? Maybe, I should have just kept it to myself," Hermione said with sadness in her voice.

Hermione then began to weep into her hands. Harry comforted her.

"Shh, it's okay. I'm sorry for nagging you to tell me. Maybe you are right. Maybe I shouldn't have known this, but it's gonna be okay we have each other. We may not have Ron, but we definitly have each other," Harry said sympathetically.

Harry put his arms around Hermione and hugged her. Hermione suggled up to Harry's chest and started to doze off. Harry kissed her head everso gently and everso lightly. Hermione smiled while in her own little dreamland. Harry the began to drift away into a nice sweet sleep.

:Hermione's Dream:

"Harry!" Hermione yelled gleefully.

"Hermione!" Harry exclaimed in return.

They were both in a field of flowers. Flowers from pansies to tulips to lilacs, every type of flower imaginable. They were running towards each other, holding their arms out, stretching for one another. They finally reached each other. Hermione ran into Harrys arms and Harry lifted her up as if she were a feather. They started passionately kissing. They pulled away and started spinning. Around and around and around in a great big circle. They became really dizzy after awhile, so the just fell down. Hermione fell right on top of Harry. They started to kiss again and...

:Harry's Dream:

and... stayed kissing passionately on the ground. They began to roll over each other. So, Harry was on top, then Hermione, Harry, Hermione, Harry, Hermione... Both of them stopped and Harry rolled off of Hermione. They then began to laugh and turned to face each other.

"Did I ever tell you I loved you?" Harry asked still laughing away.

"No you never told, did I ever tell you I loved you since first year?" Hermione returned still having a good laugh.

:End of dream:

Hermione suddenly woke up and realized she was asleep in Harry's arms. She moved to wake Harry up, but he didn't wake. So, she decided to take matters into her own hands. Hermione gently kissed Harry on the lips and he smiled, but didn't wake up again. She kissed him again and he woke up with a great big grin on his face.

"Guess we must have dosed off there for a minute," Harry said looking at his watch, "Okay maybe an hour but I had the weirdest dream. Both of us were running in a field of flowers and then"-

Hermione cut him off, "We kissed!"

"Yeah! Wow! Can we dream the same thing at the same time?" Harry asked in amazement.

"Yes you can actually, it is called ESP... when the dream cut off... it's just... is it really true? About you?" Hermione said softly.

"Umm... err... yes it is, but the real question is... is it true about you too? Since our first year?" Harry questioned.

"Yes! I've loved you since the first day on the train. Ever since the first time I saw you! Although I have to admit that I did get a little upset when you made fun of me in first year. But then when you and Ron saved me from the mountain troll, that's when I knew it was true. It sounds silly I know, but"-

Harry put his index finger up to her lips. Then, started to kiss her with great passion. Hermione groaned with great pleasure.

Hermione broke away and said, "But how"-

Harry shushed her again and picked up where they left off. They were already on the couch laying down. Harry was on top of Hermione and were still kissing passionately. Then all of a sudden-

:Ron's POV:

I walked in on Harry and Hermione kissing. I don't blame Harry for liking her in that way. She's grown to be quite a woman in the past few years. But the part that I don't get is how my best friends never ever mentioned once to me. That they were an item to me, not once. Then, they had the nerve to tell me that it was nothing and that nothing had happened. Boy oh boy was that a lie. I saw it with my own two eyes. They were kissing. Kissing like, if I hadn't walked in on them, they would have gone even further. Well, I'd continue writing, but I just heard a knock on the door. I still can't believe them, my two best friends.

:Normal POV:

:Knock, knock...:

"I'm coming! Just a second!" Ron screamed so they would hear it on the other side of the door.

Ron opened the door. He wasn't too thrilled about the sight that was in front of him. It was Hermione. She had a letter in her hand.

"I know I'm not someone who you would particularly want to see right now, but I just wanted to give you this. It's a letter explaining everything. It explains what happened before, why you felt we knew something that you didn't. Oh and do you remember that letter that you got with no return address? Well, it explains that too. Alright, I better be on my way. Good bye and I hope you can understand what has been happening through this letter," Hermione said and she left without Ron saying a word.

A single tear fell down her cheek, she just hoped he would understand. She thought that if she explained to him what's been happening at home, he'll know why things are happening. The weird, weird things that are happening.

Hermione slumped all the way back to the Head Tower common room. Harry was sitting there waiting on the couch.

"Well, did you give it to him?" Harry asked seeing she was a little upset.

"Yeah, I gave it to him," Hermione said walking over to their red arm chair.

Ron was at his desk. He put the letter aside. He was debating whether or not he should read the letter now. He decided to read it so he opened it up and wasn't surprised when he saw a long piece of parchment....

We only know what will be in that letter. So how's Ron going to react when he reads it? Find out in chapter ten of A Cry For Help!

A.N- sorry... I know I said it would be in normal... but Ron's POV was in need for this chapter! Although it was half normal half Ron's POV which wasn't that bad. I hope you guys liked this chapter! You finally got some Harry/Hermione action. It should increase from there, probably nothing too graphic. Do you want to know what the letter said or not? cos that was my original plan for chapter 10, but what do you think? Please Review I hope you liked this chapter! HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYONE!
