The Monologue Chronicles

(Hermione's POV)

I'm scared. And I know this is probably the first time anyone has ever heard me say it but its true. I don't know what to expect now that Voldermort is back, more powerful than ever, I'm in my seventh year at Hogwarts and I could quite possibly die before I graduate.

But that's what life is like when you are best friends with Harry Potter.

Ron doesn't seem scared but I know he is. I can see it in his eyes.

Everyone expects me to be the strong one, the girl who never lets her guard down, even when the going gets tough. But the truth is I'm petrified. I'm only 17; I don't want to die. I want to experience things out in the big world, have a career I love and have a family.

But the way things are going, I'm not sure I'm even going to make it past the gates of Hogwarts. Muggles are dying now. I'm worried for my parents and my best friends who are my family.

I can't imagine what Harry is going through. Not only has he got Voldermort trying to kill him but also he's worried about us. Voldermort knows about Ron and I and I have a gut feeling that he's going to stop at nothing causing as much pain as possible to anyone Harry cares about.

I'm also scared for another reason. Not to do with Voldermort, but to do with my growing feelings towards a certain redhead. I don't understand it sometimes. And when I say 'it' I mean the only one person in the entire world who can drive me insane, but somehow I still love him.

And the thing I don't understand is the one thing that makes me who I am. Ok, so we fight all the time and sometimes I feel like strangling him, but that doesn't mean that I don't care for him. People always say Opposites attract and in our situation, that is very much the case.

At first I didn't know what to make of these feelings that sometimes make me feel crazy. I just figured it was some hormonal thing and it would pass. But as time went by, it began to develop into something that I have never felt before. The way he makes me feel when he looks at me, like my knee's are going to cave in and I'm going to melt into the ground; and this was just from a glance at me. That's when I knew that it wasn't just a teenage hormonal crush and that what I was feeling was real; I was falling in love with Ron Weasley. It scared me. For one, he was one of my best friends. If anything happened and I lost him I don't know what I would do. He has been a vital part of my life and without him...I don't know where I would be.

Note: I hope you liked it! Guess who's up next? Just a gorgeous looking redhead we all know and love… PLZ R&R
