Next instalment of the -?- series. Hope you like it.

Disclaimer: I blew out my candles and counted to ten but alas again it didn't happen.

Summary: love? Hardly crossed my mind. Love scared me. I barely believed in it. So I never thought it was love. Until that day - that day I knew. –Ron-

Maybe I'm going crazy. To be this bothered over a girl has to be a sign of insanity doesn't it? But it's true I love her…

Love.

I never thought it was love. I thought I hated her. I thought she was my best friend. I thought I had all the answers. I thought I was okay on my own. I thought I could live with it. I thought a lot of things. But maybe I was mistaken.

I don't know when I realised it. I don't know why this happened. I suppose it's a good thing that I know and I suppose I should be thankful. It's better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all. I don't know who said that but I think I heard Ginny quote it. I bet it was a chick. But whoever it was they where right.

Maybe it was the Yule ball, when I realised, I saw her on Krum's arm and, I don't know, I just knew. But I ignored it for two years I ignored it. I thought I could but like I said I was mistaken.

Love.

Before then I didn't believe in love. I knew that I liked Hermione don't get me wrong I'm not stupid. I knew I liked her but that was just a crush or so I thought. But I was mistaken. Big surprise I know.

Love was always something I was scared of. That something could make people do things. Anything. Like in those stories my mum used to tell us about knights, in shining armour, fighting dragons for their princesses. I mean what could be so strong as to give someone so much courage. Now I know. I'd climb mountains for her. I'd even fight a horntail.

Loved.

Sometimes I wish I were over her. Sometimes I'm thankful I'm not. Whatever happens I'll always know I loved her even if she never loves me.

But there's always hope.

Again it's a shorty. But they'll all go towards the end story eventually. So relax and await the next one-shot which will be –Ginny- and will be in the Harry-Ginny-Romance. But don't forget to Review!
