(A/N) Hey! I know you all hate me, or have forgotten about me for not updating in a million years, but I just haven't had the time! My summer has been mental! This chapter is really long, on of the longest I have ever written I think! Thanks to all who reviewed! You are the reason that I even bother writing on Fanfiction! I hope that you enjoy the latest installment of my story!

Now, also, I have decided to change the rating on this story. It will now be rated M, just for safety.

Think, Talk, and Decide

Hermione stood there, her mouth hanging open, starring at the door Ron had just stormed through. The tears started to well up in her eyes, and she let out one small sob.

Viktor, who was standing next to her, walked over and wrapped his arms around her, gently placing her head on his shoulder. "It vill be okay, my Herm-own-ninny," he whispered into her ear.

The tears started to flow freely down Hermione's cheek. Her head was pounding, and her heart felt like it was being ripped out of her chest. She had a million and one questions ripping throughout her mind, as she stood there, sobbing. Why does he love me? Why did he tell Viktor? Why didn't he tell me a year ago, when I still had these kind of feelings for him? Oh ya, he was too wrapped up with Lavender. He barely noticed me! But now look at him; he's all over me when I'm with someone else!

She needed to talk to someone about her feelings, someone who was not Ron, or Viktor, or any guy. She needed to talk to a girl. She needed to talk to Ginny.

"I need to go Viktor, I need to go talk to someone," Hermione said quietly, slipping out of his arms.

"Herm-own-ninny, vait!" Viktor called, reaching out to grab her arm, but she had already turned and run around the corner.

Ron threw his toast into the lake, he wasn't hungry anymore. He sat on the ground, absent mindedly playing with a rock in his hand. Why the hell did I say that? Why did I need to tell her that? She already knew, because that ass Vicky told her. He threw the rock as hard as he could as he said this and it landed in the lake, about 60 feet away from him.

I guess I should head up to the castle; there isn't really any point in hanging around here. I'll just go and catch up with some old friends, just as long as I don't wander into Viktor or Hermione.

Ron stood up, brushing the dirt off of his pants, and started walking back up to the castle.

Hermione ran into the Gryffindor common room, and SMACK, she ran right into someone. She knocked the person over, and landed on top of them.

"Nice to see you too, Herm-" Harry started to say as he stood up, but then noticed the make-up smeared down her cheeks. "Hermione! What happened?"

Hermione quickly stood up, and smoothed out her robes. "I'm sorry Harry, I'm…I'm fine…" she said quietly.

Over the past 6 years at Hogwarts, Hermione has become Harry's closest friend. Ron was a close friend, but he just wasn't always there. Harry and Hermione had developed a special bond; it was almost as if they were brother and sister they were so close. Because of this, he could tell that Hermione was lying to him, but he decided not to press the issue.

"Uh…do you know where I could fine Ginny?" Hermione asked.

"Yup, she's in my room, I just showed her my new WMP – Wizarding Music Player." Harry said, his cheeks flushing slightly.

See, that is what a couple in love are like, always wanting to spend time with each other, getting to have such a close friend, discovering new things together…Viktor and I are never like that, he's mainly into making out and showing me off to the whole school. "Uh, Ron wasn't in there, was he?" Hermione asked, trying not to look too obvious.

"Nope," Harry replied, "Just Ginny."

Hermione looked relived. "Thanks Harry, I'll go see her now. Talk to you later." She said, giving him a hug. She then spun around and ran up the stairs to Harry's dormitory.

Harry stood there, thinking about Hermione. What's wrong with her? Why doesn't she want to see Ron? God, I'd hate to be a girl, we guys can make their lives so complicated. Maybe I'll talk to her about it tomorrow; a good sleep should do her well.

"So, then I came here because I had to talk to you. I have no clue where the hell Ron went, but I honestly don't want to see him for long time." Hermione concluded. She had just told Ginny the whole story, right from the beginning.

"Oh my god, you poor girl!" Ginny exclaimed, as she slid across Harry's bed and hugged her friend.

"I just have no clue what I am going to do about this all!"

"You need to look very carefully inside your heart Mione, and find out how you feel. Do you love Viktor?"

Hermione thought for a minute. "I—I honesty don't think that I do. I haven't known him for nearly as long as I have known Ron, and Viktor isn't into having a relationship like you and Harry have, he is just into showcasing me."

"Hermione, he hasn't been treating you wrongly or been using you, has he? You know that you can tell me if he is, and I know that Harry would kick his ass if he did."

Hermione's memory flashed back to the night before.

Hermione was in Viktor's study, sitting on the couch with him. They had been making out for some time, and as Viktor started to kiss her neck, Hermione had decided that this was enough for tonight.

"I'm going to go now, okay Viktor," she whispered, as she broke apart from him.

"Vhy honey, I vas enjoy vat." Viktor said, as he leaned in and kissed her again, even harder this time.

"No Viktor, I mean it, I am leaving!" Hermione said forcefully, as she pushed him away, and stood up.

"Herm-own-ninny, come on, vhy leave vhen you could stay vith me for a vhile? I vould really like it if you stayed vith me" Viktor said as he stood up. He walked over to her, reaching his arm out to pull her close to him.

"I'm tired, and I am leaving right now," Hermione yelled, and ran out of the room.

Hermione snapped back to the present. Ginny was still waiting for her answer. I won't worry Ginny with that. He probably didn't mean to be forceful; he probably just wanted me to stay for a few more minutes. "No Gin, are you kidding? Of course he hasn't!"

"Okay, but remember, you can always talk to me about ANYTHING, anything at all."

"I know, that's why I came now, I need your help with this mess!"

"Okay, so, now the hardest question to face, and sort of weird for me to ask because he is my brother, but do you love Ron?"

Oh god, do I love Ron? How the hell am I suppose to know? "I have no clue Gin, I just need to not think right now, and then maybe the answer to this will finally come to me."

"Okay, I totally understand. It's pretty late now; we have been talking for over two hours. Why don't we get ready for bed, and have a sleepover in your room. That way we can have the whole head girl unit to ourselves! I'll even make you some hot chocolate." Ginny said eagerly, standing up.

A smile crept onto Hermione's face, as she nodded in agreement. "You just had to mention the hot chocolate didn't you?" she asked Ginny, pretending to be upset.

"I knew that it would get you to say yes," her friend said with a smile.
