I sat in the common room in a corner, a tear running down my face. How could I be so stupid?
I heard a noise behind me. I turned and saw the cause of all my aches and pains. He stood at the bottom of the stairs, apparently he hadn't seen me, he walked over and lit a fire. I could tell something was wrong, but didn't move.
He sat down in front of the fire. He looked at his hands. "How could I do that?" he said barely above a whisper, but I heard him. I knew what he was talking about. It's what I'd been wondering most of the night.
I stood up. He looked over. I could tell he was surprised. He stood up and moved closer. I moved closer.
He looked at me straight in the eyes. I couldn't break the stare. He moved closer, not breaking the gaze. I felt like I should walk away, but couldn't feel my legs.
He was so close, I could feel his breath. I felt a tear running down my face. He reached up and wiped it away with his thumb but kept his hand there.
"I didn't mean to." He said in a whisper, regret was clear in his eyes.
"It just hurt so bad, like a knife being stabbed through my heart." I shivered and he pulled me into a tight hug. I looked up at him and smiled. He always did this to me. Whenever I'm down he makes me feel better, better then anyone else can. I just lose myself when I'm around him.
He looked down and saw me smiling. He did something he never thought he'd do. He kissed me.
I was stunned by his actions but put my arms around his neck and deepened the kiss. I wished that that moment would never end. Unfortunately it did.
"RONALD BILIUS WEASLEY! WHAT THE BLOODY HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING WITH HER!" it was Lavender, of course.
"I'm kissing her. What does it look like I'm doing?" Ron's voice was cold when he spoke to her. I didn't know why.
She made a weird noise and stormed up the stairs, leaving me and Ron alone again. I looked at him and said, "You know you didn't have to do that."
He smiled at me. "I know, but I wanted to." And with that he leaned in and kissed me again and I knew this is how it should be.
