romeolover: And it'll keep getting better!

peachie1st: Well if you read the OotP book, it noted that Harry has a bad temper... Or in one of the books...But I'm pretty sure it was that one... He's just mad that Hermione doesn't believe him and that he really is telling the truth... Right now Hermione is feeling upset and confused about what she should do... Like she doesn't know what to believe but she does believe that she's hella angry... with everyone. They took their anger out on each other. Ron being gay isn't a shock to me because he was destine to be anyways... Probably gonna be in later books... LOL, just playing... but you will never know...

nightgodess: Yes and for once I'm going to make the changes around here... If I want Ron to be gay then damn right he'll be the gayest person here...LOL... I totally agree with you..he is a gay sissy.. What was JK thinking? Count me in...I'll help in on her murder... LOL Well I've always liked Draco and because of their past, it makes things more interesting...

animeLCgrl: Well Ron looks as if he was destine to be gay. I wouldn't be surprised if J.K. makes him gay... LOL.. Probably not but you really never know... It's kinda AU because they aren't in London for the wedding... They are in New York... just for the wedding... different is always better...

HotBabe9632005: LOL Alright...Will do...

BeaumontRulz: Of course Ron is gay.. He was, after all, meant to be gay... He's such a coward sissy...LOL... Harry and Hermione will eventually get together but only I will know how long it'll take... (probably not very long)

Chapter 6

The rain stopped through the night and the next day when Harry woke up seemed to one of the best since he'd arrived at New York. It was sunny and bright. Today was the day of Ginny's wedding. He didn't bother any more about going. It was a waste of his time. He'd been gone for five years and they wouldn't notice if he slipped away for five more. What about Hermione? What about her? Don't you remember what she said to you last night? Harry forced his thoughts to stop and he found himself staring at the envelope of money Hermione paid him to escort her to Ginny's wedding. He stood up and went to the drawers to rummage for a piece of parchment. He found a piece and a quill. He scribbled a note.

Harry hesitated about leaving it for her. It was revealing his deepest secret and she was going to finally find out. It doesn't matter anyways. It's not like I'll ever see her again. Leave it. Harry tucked the letter into envelope and decided to leave before she came after him. He shrunk his things and grabbed the rental car keys. He was going to stay at a motel until his flight later on. Goodbye forever. Harry thought as he looked back at the house where everyone seemed to be dead asleep. Harry got into his rental car and started the engine. He pulled off the drive way and as he did he looked at the boat where he and Hermione had sex. I'll never forget that. He shook it off and continued to leave.

What he didn't know was that Hermione had woken up from the sound of a roaring engine. She looked out the window but there was no longer a car or anyone outside. She thought nothing of it as she made her way downstairs. I wonder where Harry is. Probably at the cabin. I'll check as soon as I get some warm coffee. She poured herself a cup of coffee and stepped outside. Hermione clenched her cup of coffee closer to her as she approached the cabin where Harry had just left not too long ago.

"Harry?" Hermione called from the front door.

She rested her hand on the handle and twisted it open.

"Harry, if you're in here, I'm coming in" Hermione warned.

She looked around in hopes of seeing Harry sitting by the fire but the cabin was empty. She scavenged the cabin some more until she reached the bathroom. She picked up a pair of Harry's boxers. She knew he was here because that was proof. They were the same ones he had on the day he stripped in front of her. A smile crept on her face as she remembered that day. Where did he go? She left the bathroom and immediately stumbled across an envelope that had her name on it. She opened it and her money fell out. All six thousand of it. Also a note fell and Hermione picked it up and read it. It was Harry's hand writing.

Dearest Hermione,

Sorry I couldn't say. I hope you're happy right now and maybe we'll meet again in life. I'm sorry for any pain I might've caused you with my stay. I think I'm in love with you but I know you would never feel the same. I just thought you'd might want to know, never in my twenty-two years of life have I ever been this honest with you. I can only hope you'll take my word for it that I had nothing to do with this. I'm sorry I had to leave, but I really think that after the moment I got myself into this it was one of the biggest mistakes of my life. Tell everyone that I simply had to go home for a work thing if they ask. Again Hermione, I'm really sorry and I guess I'll see you around. Oh and here's your money. I don't deserve it.

Love,

Harry James Potter

Harry only signed his middle name on important letters. This was obviously a very important letter and she knew he meant every word. Hermione's hand clasped over her mouth as her eyes welled with warm tears.

"HOW COULD I HAVE BEEN SO STUBBORN?" She yelled to no one in particular as she re-read the letter for the fifth time now.

Her tears seemed to fall out fast and with deep meaning.

"He really means it. Harry actually loves me." Hermione whispered to herself as she re-read the letter over and over again.

But I don't love him in that way, do I? Why now? I thought I was in love with Ron but he's gay. With Draco. I wonder if the wedding will even go on if Ginny finds out. Never mind that, I've always known Harry was cute and I always loved his personality. I wonder how long he's loved me. But if he really loves me then he'll come back. Won't he? If it's really meant to be then we'll stumble across each other later in life. Hermione finally put the letter down because she focused on thinking. Harry's always had this certain way he runs his hands through his hair. That used to drive me wild. I use to have dreams in Hogwarts that we were married. Even when I was going out with Ron. Why should I waste my time on someone that won't love me back? Harry has always been there for me and defended me when I needed him to. He cares for me and I care for him. I think maybe I do love him too. Wait, love? That's a strong term, Hermione. But if we did get together, I know it'd work. Me and him have always had a connection. Not only as friends but as almost a married couple. I could picture myself growing old with him. As friends or lovers? That's the question. Why couldn't he have told me sooner. Then suddenly Hermione remembered that he did tell her last night that he was beginning to like her more than what he was just getting paid for. Hermione sprang up and looked around the telephone for clues to where he went. If he isn't going to some to me then I'll come to him! BINGO! Hermione came across scratchy notes in his hand writing. It said.

New York Airport, 6PM, Shigles's Inn, 56

"Yes!" Hermione yelled.

She shoved the note into her pocket and ran out of the cabin back to her room. She had to get dressed and then leave and go after Harry. Wait, the wedding is today! It only dawned on her now that Ginny's wedding was indeed today. She wasn't supposed to go anywhere so they could get ready. It was going to take all day for the bridesmaids to get ready and each have a separate chat with Ginny about friendship stuff. Whatever that was supposed to be. Dammit Gin, why today for a wedding? She doesn't even know that she's getting married to a gay man. Hermione shook her head and didn't know what to do. Should I chance it and leave? I could never do that to Ginny. I can't leave in the middle of her wedding day. She'd never forgive me. But if loving him is worth the risk then I should take it. Friendship or True Love? Dammit, I might as well shoot myself now. I could never choose between those circumstances. Hermione was confused at this state.

"Hermione?" Ginny said gently as she entered the room.

"Ginny!" Hermione said acting shocked. "Today's the big day, how are you feeling?"

"Bloody nervous." Ginny replied as the look on her face began to droop.

"Do you want to talk?" Hermione asked trying to be a good friend even though she probably was the one who needed the most help right now.

"Sure but we have to leave pretty soon"

"What's wrong?"

"I feel like there's something Draco's hiding from me"

"O-o-oh yeah? Like what?" Hermione stuttered nervously.

"I don't know but I was thinking maybe you might?"

"Look Gin, you're my best friend and we shouldn't keep anything from each other, right?"

"Right..." Ginny replied a little uneasily.

"I really want to tell you something that may affect your decision to get married today but I don't think it's a big deal anymore"

"What is it?"

"I don't have the heart to tell you. It's important but I don't think I should be the one to tell you"

"Just tell me" Ginny said sternly and more uneasily than ever before.

"Look Gin, don't ever why Ron just left me out of no where?"

"I've only thought about it once... I mean you were so hurt... Of course I did"

"Well he cheated on me"

"What? Ron? No way!"

"Yes way. In fact the person he cheated on me was Draco." Hermione spat out.

The look on Ginny's face was pale and her jaw was dropped down from shock. Hermione instantly knew that she made a mistake by telling Ginny.

"Gin, say something." Hermione insisted. "I'm sorry, I knew I shouldn't have told you"

Hermione stood up as she was going to leave the room so Ginny could have some alone thinking time. Instead, Ginny firmly grasped Hermione's wrist. Hermione's eyes locked with Ginny's.

"Stay" was all that came out of Ginny's mouth. "You, have to talk to him"

"But-why-me?" Hermione squeaked.

"For me" Ginny said looking into Hermione's eyes with the most sincerity in them that Hermione has ever seen.

"Al-al-alright" Hermione stuttered as she departed the room in search of Draco to confront him about his sexuality, assumably.

Hermione stumbled out the room and down the stairs. She didn't immediately come across Draco which she found was quite a relief. Poor Ginny. Why and on her wedding day did I just choose to ruin it? The biggest day of her life... Why do I have to be so stubborn all the time? Maybe this is for the best? Everything happens for a reason and if I just spilled something I wasn't supposed to then I don't know. I'm starting to not make any sense any more. I hurt her. It had to have been for the best, telling her and all. The subject was bound to come up one day or another. I might as well save her marriage or whatever relations she's about to choose with Draco. Oh great and there he is. Draco just walked into the kitchen from a stroll outside. He looked depressed, angry and confused all at the same time. Talk!

"Dr-dr-Draco?" Hermione called after him before he got the chance to get away. "Could I, um, talk to you for a sec?"

"Sure" Draco replied uneasily. He basically knew what conversation was coming.

He sat down on the nearest chair near Hermione. He looked at her and then to the ground. He was just hoping to get this over with. Hermione, on the other hand, was contemplating what she should say first. This conversation was very important, therefore making Hermione think under pressure. What do I do? Do I just ask if he's still gay? Maybe I should ask him if what they said was really true? Bloody hell, this is so much harder than how I was thinking it would go a few moments ago in my head.

"Is it true?" Hermione asked hoping Draco would catch on about what she was really asking.

"Yes, about Ron and I" Draco said followed by a long exhale.

"How? Why?" Hermione asked in a little disbelief that Draco was being this up front with her considering they used to be sworn enemies.

"Well, it happened in our seventh year. I liked Ginny but she didn't like me back much. One night I crashed some random party and got really drunk. I ran into Ron and that's where it all started. I guess he was into me before I even thought about him"

"Why are you being this honest with me?"

"I just think it's time to settle our differences. I'm trying to be the older person in this situation. I just matured late. Anyways, back to the story, I don't really remember anything happening. I never knew you and him were going out until later. It was just a fling I guess. I don't really know what we had."

"But then what about Ginny? You love her right?"

"Yes and with all my heart. I made some mistakes in my life and that was one of the biggest ones. I stopped seeing Ron immediately as soon as Ginny started making moves on me. I avoided him as much as possible. Then it came to graduation. I never went to my graduation ceremony because I didn't want to go anywhere near him. He's been calling me still often. Mostly covering up if Ginny found out that he was simply calling to see how things were going. I really didn't want him to come to the wedding. Ginny already planned him to be my best man because we were, in her eyes, friends, since Ron often called for me and everything. He kept sending me owls saying he loved me and everything. You have no idea how hard it was to keep this all a secret"

Hermione a little shocked from all the information she was soaking up. "Then why does everyone but Gin seem to know?"

"Ron"

"Oh" Hermione replied briskly.

"Do you understand now? He wants to ruin everything by telling everyone. More than once here I had to threaten him not to even bring it up."

"Ruined more than a wedding if you ask me" Hermione mumbled.

"What was that?"

"Nothing. Anyways, are you still gay or not?"

"No. I was never gay. Ron thought and insisted I was because he didn't know how drunk I was that night"

"Oh well you have some explaining to do to Ginny. I need to get going. I have things to do. Just tell her exactly what you said to me. She'll understand because she loves you. You have to get everything straight. Make sure this wedding goes on. Draco, I can see how much you truly love her in your eyes. You two are made for each other so do your best to let her know that. Alright?"

Draco, still trying to comprehend what just came out of Hermione's mouth nodded and made his way up the stairs where Hermione pointed. He looked back at Hermione for support but she had already left in a hurry to catch up with Harry.

"Hermione!" Mrs. Weasely cried out as Hermione stormed past her.

"Yes?" Hermione said out of breath as she turned to Mrs. Weasely's voice.

"Where do you think you're going?"

"I-um-I-" Hermione stuttered but was cut off by Mrs. Weasely's voice.

"No, the bridesmaids are to report to the chapel now!" She insisted.

"But-I-but-I-" Hermione managed to get out before practically being pushed to the chapel, which was only a street away from the house.

They arrived there and Luna, Parvati, Padma, Lavender and Cho were all in their dresses sitting around bored. Luna, Hermione noticed, had a bruise on her arm from where Ron had almost hurt her during their fight. She was immediately pushed into the dressing room to get her dress on. The bridesmaids dresses were a light peach color. Hermione got her dress on and joined the other girls. Hermione forgot all about her hair and make up. She moved away from the girls and sat promptly in front of a mirror. She used the make up left out and applied some. She did not need much because too much make up didn't look good on her. She brushed her hair and let her curly locks sit on her shoulders. She put a matching flower pin in her hair so she'd look ready. She went back to sit with the other girls.

"Where the bloody hell is Ginny?" Cho exclaimed, being Ginny's next best friend, she was worried.

"She'll be here" Hermione assured.

END OF CHAPTER...

A/n: Sorry I had too cut it from there... It was getting too long... I guess there will be chapters after six... Oh shucks... LOL... Well I hope you enjoy this one and stay tuned for the next chapter. Sorry for the delay of this chapter. I just got braces on Friday and we moved out computer into a separate room, which disconnected the internet for a couple days. Braces hurt and if you ever plan on getting them, Don't. I'm telling you know, they're painful... Well enough about that...

REVIEW TIME! My personal favorite time! Come on and review. More reviews, motivate me to work faster on the chapters... Come on, you can do it... It isn't that hard. You don't have to leave a long one just do it... Even f you are lazy.. Come on it isn't too difficult...

One more thing... Is there anything you would like to see happen in this story? Anything could happen and if you want something special then let me know in a review. I would love to squeeze it in some where if it isn't too obscene!

One more thing... I know that you are all probably surprised about Draco confessing all of this but remember he has no one to talk about it to. That's not really the reason but it makes sense, doesn't it? Like he can't just tell Harry and he obviously can't talk to Ron about it... Who else? Seamus, Dean and Neville are all here at the wedding and everything but they don't really like Draco. They are kind of forced but like Draco said, he wants to solve the problems by being the bigger person and make things better. He's actually doing because these are also Ginny's friends.
