Hermione ran out of potions with mixed feelings. She was unable to capture her emotions as they zoomed in and out of her mind. She wanted to scream. A few minutes later Ron followed after her. He was pretty proud of himself.
"Hermione!" He said cornering her.
"Yeah." She said. Her voice was a cracking.
"I don't want you to be upset." Ron said pushing her hair out of her face.
"Why would I be upset?" She said pushing Ron's hand away.
"Well because you're crying and I'm going to tell you something you won't like." He said putting his hand to the back of his neck.
"Fine. Go ahead." She said wiping the tears form her eyes.
"I wasn't supposed to kiss you….only hug you." He said. Hermione was angry now. She smacked him right across the face.
"'Guess I deserved that." Ron said touching his face. Hermione stormed off.
"Hermione! Wait!" he said. "I love you…" He mumbled.
Hermione was mad at him. She rather enjoyed it though. But he did it to get 15 minutes of fame. He didn't care how she felt about it. Or did he. She stuck her hands in her hair. I love him. But he's too stupid to know or care. All he wants is to be popular and have other girls like him. She threw her books on her bed.
Meanwhile Ron was lying on his bed thinking the same things. He kept running what happened through his brain. He was too dazed to notice Harry was back and talking to Dean and Seamus about Ron and Hermione. He wanted to cry but he couldn't. He wanted to talk to her but she wouldn't. He wanted to kiss her but not in secret. Did she feel the same?
