Hermione Granger, his best friend since day one. Well, in all fairness, they weren't exactly friends from the start but they grew to like each other. Not saying they don't argue constantly, and find little things to pick on the other, but it had always been good fun. Ron always knew that he had feelings for her. It seemed like every one else knew to, spare Hermione. And it wasn't until 'Vicky' came along that he realized how much he liked, no loved her. Fate seemed to smack him across his face at the very moment she said she had a date to the Yule ball from Hell.
Were the best of friends
And we share our secrets
She knows everything that is on my mind
But lately something's changed
It was like a neon sign was stuck above her head saying "You had your chance". And that was the real reason for his anger. Well initially at first, then jealousy reared its ugly head. He couldn't stand seeing the two of them together. Seeing her smile, and have fun, and be beautiful without even trying.
As I lie awake in my bed
A voice here inside my head
Softly says
He had wanted to tell her so many times how he felt. So many nights lying in bed staring at the ceiling wishing he could tell her how he felt. Every time he would even think it his ears and cheek turned a bright crimson. When asked what was wrong he could only respond with an 'I'm not feeling very well'. He had also become very distant towards her, hurting them both. He just wished she knew what she was doing to him every time she even threw a smile in his direction.
Why don't you kiss her
Why don't you tell her
Why don't you let her see
The feelings that you hide
'cause she'll never know
If you never show
The way you feel inside
Hermione asked him countless times if he was mad at her, and he could see the pain in her eyes. It broke his heart that he was doing this to her, but she couldn't possibly know what its like to keep this kind of secret from her. He couldn't be around her without coming close to kissing her.
Oh I'm so afraid to make that first move
Just a touch and we
Could cross the line
And every time she's near
I wanna never let her go
Confess to her what my heart knows
Hold her close
Days grew harder and harder for Ron Weasley. He so desperately wanted to tell her, but was terrified he would ruin everything with their friendship, but most of all he was afraid of cold-hearted rejection. Ron knew that his heart might actually shatter if she denied him. He'd had a recurring dream of it happening as well.
"Hermione. I need to tell you something. I'm in love with you I always have been. I'm sorry it took me this long to tell you" he said looking into her chocolate colored orbs and then feeling the heaviest weight as he saw guilt.
Rejection time.
"Um.. Ron" she said on the brink of tears. " I'm so sorry it's just.-" but it was too late. He had already left with a single tear trailing down his cheek.
What would she say
I wonder would she just turn away
Or would she promise me
That she's here to stay
It hurts me to wait
I keep asking myself
Why don't you kiss her
Why don't you tell her
Why don't you let her see
The feelings that you hide
'cause she'll never know
If you never show
The way you feel inside
'Alright today's the day' he thought as he walked down the hall from the morning breakfast. He had some how lost Hermione in the crowd of people rushing to get to class. And then he spotted her.
Books along with quills and parchment were sprawled on the floor. She frantically began to pick up them. Standing up she noticed three quills held in a hand stretched out to her.
Looking into his bright green eyes she smiled greatly. "Oh, thanks Ron."
"No problem" he responded his smile just as wide. Then it fell from his face and he swallowed hard.
Seeing the pattern happening again Hermione placed a hand on his shoulder. "Ron please, tell me what's going on. I… I miss you"
And that did it. He quickly grabbed her hand and dragged her to a nearby empty classroom.
"Ron what is it? Is someone hurt? Are –" but she was cut off as he placed his index finger against her lips.
"Hermione listen to me. Nothings wrong. I just-" he paused. Oh no he was really going to do it. This very moment will make or break their friendship.
"What? Are you sure you're okay?"
"Hermione, I'm sorry I haven't been the kind of friend you've wanted, but I feel its time you know the real reason I've been avoiding you or been cold towards you. Hermione I.." He paused looking into her eyes. There was a desperate hope in them. "Oh screw it" He then leaned over and gently placed his lips on hers. She stood their shocked as he pulled away and he started to turn to walk away. That is until she pulled him back to her and forced his eyes back on hers.
"That's all you had to say" She smiled and grabbed his loose tie and pulled him back closer to placing her arms around his neck and leaning in to kiss him in a more passionate kiss,
Why don't you kiss her (tell her you love her)
Why don't u tell her (tell her you need her)
Why don't you let her see
The feelings that you hide
'cause she'll never know
If you never show
The way you feel inside...
