Chapter Six: Confessions of a Teenage Hero

Hermione's eyes. The beautiful eyes that were worn from all of her tedious studying and extra reading. Those are what killed Harry every time he tried to tell her how he felt. This time he hoped that would be different. He hadn't spent all of the time working out his plan for nothing, or had he? The question all came down to this moment, the moment when he would finally reveal what he kept locked up tight inside for so long.

"Here." Said Harry holding out his hand. "I want to show you something." Reluctantly she took his had and fallowed his lead toward one of the many squashy couches that littered the floor of the room.

"What is it?" she asked bewildered at the fact that Harry Potter wanted to show her something here in the Room of Requirement. The one room in Hogwarts that she thought was least likely for Harry to confide something in after what happened in their fifth year.

"It is a surprise, now close your eyes." She did. He whipped out his wand and as if the room read his mind, it provided a large magical projector. He tapped it twice and then placed his wand up to his temple and withdrew a long silvery memory. In the base of the projector there was a Pensive, Harry placed his memory into the Pensive and then tapped the projector again. Four flaps came down around the silvery basin, blocking the glittery light from shining through. The lights dimmed and Harry sat next to Hermione. "Alright, open your eyes."

The lids of her eyes reseeded and the Memory began to play.

"Holy Cricket! You're Harry Potter! I' am Hermione Granger. And you are?"

Harry had placed the memory of the day Hermione, himself and Ron had first met. The memory progressed and then faded as Hermione left the train car compartment. Next popped up the memory of Harry and Ron saving Hermione from the troll. Many more memories fell into sequence with what had happed to the trio over the years. At the end was a memory Hermione didn't share with Harry. This memory was one of him writing something down, something special, something unique. It was a letter well not really a letter but it was written to Hermione.

Hermione,

I couldn't figure out how to tell you something. It has been difficult to try and get your attention so that you could listen and understand. It is partly my fault for this miscommunication. But what better way to let you know then by a memory. We have shared so much over the years that I don't know where to begin. I feel like I should be able to tell you anything, but in some ways, a lot of ways, I can't tell you certain things. This is the best way I could conquer my fear of communicating this and tell you. Hermione, I don't know how long it has been that I have had this feeling but I know it has been quite a wile. I just wanted to tell you that you are a smart, Beautiful, and wonderful person and that for as long as I have known you I have liked you, maybe even loved, but I know now that I should have told you long before. If you feel this way tell me now so that I know that none of this went to waste, if you don't, I understand wholeheartedly.

Forever yours,

Harry

Hermione's brown eyes fell from the empty space that now filled where the words of truth had once been. She was smiling inside and out, she had mixed emotions of happiness and excided. She couldn't contain herself she turned to the now bewildered Harry that sat next to her.

"Do what you got to do, kiss him girl!" said Brainy Hermione.

"Kiss the girl! Come one we can do this look at her she's waiting." Persuaded Emotional Harry

They leaned in emerald green eyes digging into the soft brown. His had around her waist with his other under her chin. Her hand was stroking his hair while her other held him close. They leaned in further, and then it happened, Harry Potter knew for the first time in his life that he was loved and that he loved back.

Later, in the common room Ron and Lavender were still at it. It sounded like the spats Ron and Hermione was a custom to having, but for Ron this was far worse.

"I can't believe you wouldn't believe me!" shouted Lavender "I swear that NO one was in that room! You hear me NO ONE!"

"I believed you, alright, I truly honestly believed you."

"IS that why you went and asked Pavati? Huh Ronald, come on what is it going to hurt since I already know the truth."

"I asked Pavati, if there were any eavesdroppers around that time."

"YOU ARE UNBEL…."

"Will you two SHUT UP!" shouted Harry from the portrait hole, fallowed closely by a very happy and oddly behaved Hermione.

"Where have you been?"

"Out." Said Hermione in a Professor Trelawney type voice.

"Oh Bloody Hell. You told her didn't you mate!" said Ron

"In a way he did." Said Hermione again with the weird voice.

"Are you two now… you know an Item?" asked Ron

"I guess. I mean yes." Said Harry astonished by Ron and his knowledge of what was going on.

"Well isn't that joyous."

"OH NO!" shouted Hermione who had just received and owl from her parents, who must have finally learned how to use the Wizarding way of sending post.

"What is it?"

"It's my mum!"
