Ran into an old friend yesterday
Caught me by surprise when he called my name
He was a familiar face from a chapter in my past
Talked for a while I smiled at him
Said that he was sein somebody else
Told me this was gonna last
showin me her photograph

Hermione walked into the cofee shop sighing. It had been 2 years since she'd left for America and now she was back in England. She was currently staying in the Leaky Cauldron until she could a house of her own. She thanked the cashier politely and sat down at her table facing the back door.

"Hermione!" she heard a familer incredulous voice ask behind her.

"Yes," she responded finally turning. "Ron!" she squealed. She'd recognize the red hair anywhere!

"What are you doing here? How've you been? Are you back for good?" Ron asked quickly.

"I decided it was time to come back. I've been pretty good. And I haven't decided yet. How've you been? And Harry? And the family?" Hermione returned the favor.

"I've been good. I'm dating Maria, we're doing pretty well together. I actually think this might last. But then again I'll probably find a way to screw it up like I did with you. Harry's been good. Him and Ginny are dating. They're like sickiningly sweet! And the family is good as well. Bill married Fleur quite recently actually. We tried sending you an invitation but Pig brought it back upopened so we assumed you didn't get it," Ron rambled on talking about his life and when Hermione prompted Maria's photograph.

"She's beautiful," Hermione had commented. Ron had just blushed and gave a small smile.

And all the feelins that I thought were gone
Came rushin back to me at once
Tried to smile and nod the way I felt
But I was thinkin to myself

I never got over you
Wish I was standin in her shoes
And when it's all said and done

Guess i'm still in love with you
Truth is
I never should have let you go
And it's killin cuz now i know
But when it's all said and done
Guess I'm still in love with you

Hermione sighed. She'd known what she was coming back to. That was why she'd tried and tried and tried to fall in love with another guy but it just wouldn't work. Ginny had owled her a recent picture a few months ago and Hermione had felt so bad for leaving knowing it could have been her in Maria's place. She could have been the girl Mrs. Weasley loved and was hoping that Ron would ask to marry him. Ginny said she didn't think it was going to happen though so maybe there was hope yet.

We reminise on the way it used to be
Shared a couple laughs and some memories
Talked about the things that changed
Some for good and some for bad
Then he said good bye and he paid for lunch
Promised that we'd always keep in touch
Then walked away and that was that

Ron brought her back to the present when he asked, "Remember when we went down to Hogsmeade and Malfoy walked in while we were snogging and threw up?" laughing all the while.

Hermione joined him and returned, "And that time in the library when Snape caught us?"

"That was priceless!" Ron said laughing hysterically. "Boy have things changed. We've been out of Hogwarts for almost 2 years now. Shame... I miss those days..."

"Me too," Hermione muttered. "What are you doing now?"

"Oh, Harry and I are aurors. What about you?"

"You're going to laugh," Hermione said turning red.

"I won't, I promise," Ron returned.

"I'm a librarian."

"No way!" Ron shouted and then started turning red and stuffed his fist in his mouth.

"Go ahead and laugh," Hermione muttered.

So Ron did, for a good 3 min. but when he stopped he glanced at the clock and gave a start. "I'm sorry, I have to go. We'll catch up later okay?"

"Okay," and with that Ron left again.

And all the feelins that I thought were gone
Came rushin back to me at once
Tried to smile and nod the way I felt
But I was thinkin to myself

I never got over you

She knew she seriously wished she was Maria and she knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that the decision she'd made 2 years ago was the worst decision she'd ever made in her entire life because she still loved him. She'd loved him then just as much if not less than she does now. According to Ginny there was a strain on Ron and Maria's relationship anyway. So if... just maybe...

Now the truth is it hurts but I know that faults mine
Cuz i'm the one that let you go

Hermione rushed out the door with only one thought on her mind, 'I have to find Ron!'

And all the feelins that I thought were gone
Came rushin back to me at once
Tried to smile and nod the way I felt
But I was thinkin to myself

I never got over you
Wish I was standin in her shoes
And when it's all said and done

Guess i'm still in love with you
Truth is
I never should have let you go
And it's killin cuz now i know
But when it's all said and done
Guess I'm still in love with you

And as she raced after him the only thing running through her head was that she loved him. As she turned the corner guessing he'd turned that way she was thinking about him. About her love for him. Still. She knew she wasn't going to stop.

And all the feelins that I thought were gone

Hermione spotted Ron's disticnt red hairjust as he spotted Maria and another man with distinctly blond hair kissing. He shouted her name and as Maria turned he got a look at who she was kissing.

"Draco Malfoy?Are you serious? That's insane!"

"Well, I'm sorry! But what was I supposed to do? You're still to wrapped up in the past!"

"I was working on getting into the present!"

"Well,you were taking to long."

"Give it up, Weasley, you know you're still in love with Granger. Maria and I did you a favor. Go find her," Draco said and with that him and Maria left the scene.

Just gotta be honest
I guess I love you

"Ron, I have to tell you something... I never stopped loving you. Ron?" Hermione asked when he continued starring right past her.

"Huh?"

"I still love you!" Hermione said again exasperated.

That got his attention. "Seriously?" he asked incredulously.

"Yes, I'm so sorry I left. And I'm sorry for telling you about this when you're in a great relationship and everything-"

"Hermione!" Ron said putting his hand over her mouth. "I just saw Maria kissing Draco Malfoy, I hardly think that qualifies as a great relationship especially since I still love you. I never stopped you know. That's why it wouldn't have worked between the two of us. I mean honestly! Even Draco freakin' Malfoy noticed!" Ron sighed, "I can't stop loving you.I told you that before and I meant every word."

"It was the first time you told me you loved me," Hermione said softly.

Ron nodded, "And you told me you loved me too and always would as well. Looks like we both kept our promises."

"I guess we did. So what do we do now?"

"We start with this," Ron said and kissed her.

JjJjJj

They encountered many problems with their reformed relationship, mostly because people couldn't believe Ron would take her back after she left him but the two of them stuck together and finally managed to convince everyone they were sitll madly in love. That next year on the very same day Ron proved it by proposing and two months after they walked down the aisle to make it offical.

The End!

A/N: I told you it would be a happy, albiet brief, ending! Thank you guys so much for reviewing and I'm really sad that this is the end! But please tell me what you think about it! And do tell, should I go back and write another chapter in Hermione's point of view about the time while they were broken up? This song was by Fantasia and is called Truth Is. The last chapter's song was by 3 Doors Down and was called Here Without You. All characters besides Maria are J.K. Rowling as is Hogwarts. Thanks!
