Chapter 1
Hermione
"Ron…I love you!" Hermione gasped; finally, she had expressed her true feelings for the freckled, redheaded, sweetheart of a guy that she had known almost all of her life. She was now nearly 22 and she had chosen this very day that had no actual sufficient meaning to finally tell him.
"Bloody Hermione…I…I don't know what to say…I, er…" he stopped short, his ears turning a bright shade of pink and looked away.
Hermione froze, practically her whole life at Hogwarts she had loved Ron and she never had enough guts to tell him.
"I..." Ron said, he stopped short in his phrase, he watch Hermione's eyes well up.
"Hermione, I didn't mean…"He began, resting one of his masculine hands on her shoulder.
"Don't!" she wailed, yanking her body away from reach and ran off, down, down the road, through the rest of Diagon Alley. Her heart had been torn, her feelings misplaced, she could feel the tears in her eyes gushing out, down her cheeks, off her chin and onto the pathway, the pathway that herself and Ron had only walked down hand in hand…in her dreams.
