Chapter Three
I couldn't believe it.
He…He loved me!
HE LOVED ME!
I could feel my heart thudding hard against my chest as my mind replayed the three words that I had been waiting for for so long.
Then the feeling faded and an overwhelming sense of sadness passed over me as I moved my eyes away from Ron. I could feel his own boring into me, sending an almost frantic plea for some kind of answer.
"You can't love me, Ron," I muttered with a sigh.
"What!" shrieking a voice at the back of my mind. "What do you mean he can't love you? You've been waiting for this for ages and now when he shows he loves you back, you tell him NOT TO!"
It was safe these days to love a 'mudblood', especially one that was already quite high on Voldemort's hit list.
"Why not?" he asked quietly, his voice sounding so suddenly meek.
"It's not safe," I replied. "If we got together and then I lost you, my whole world would break into tiny pieces and I wouldn't be able to live."
Ron moved over from his chair and sat on the edge of her bed, holding her hand tight, his eyes revealing nothing.
"Hermione, I'm going nowhere and if I did…die…do you think that would stop me from trying to be with you? You're the only one I've ever loved and that's strong coming from a sixteen year guy who has no bloody sense!"
I laughed at this and finally looked up at him.
"I love you too, Ron," I whispered, moving close and kissing him gently on the forehead.
I watched his eyes flutter close at my touch and a small noise came from him. I never heard anyone do that before, just by a kiss.
"Are we going to try this girlfriend/boyfriend thing?" I asked.
Ron nodded, his eyes remaining closed.
"Good," I replied, and leaned in to show him what he was going to be looking forward to.
