Waiting Part III By: Candace Elledge

Maybe I should go talk to Ron to see what Harry said. No I couldn't do that because they're best friends and best friends tell each other everything. That would be a very big mistake, but Ron is my best friend too. What should I do? Oh, come on Hermione you should be able to think of something! You're a brain for God's sake! I can do this…..just walk out of the Gryffindor common room and go talk to Ron.

………………..

"Hey Ron can I talk to you for a second."

"Um ok Hermione. Is this about what you said earlier?"

"Yea….so…..um….what did Harry say…..I mean……after I…um…left?"

"Bloody hell Hermione you surprised it on him. Do you really like him like that or are you kidding?"

"I wasn't kidding Ron, but I'm serious what did he say? I need to know!"

"Well, he really didn't say much I think he's in a bit of shock right now, but I could ask him tonight and I'll tell you what he said in the morning."

"Would it be possible for you to ask him right now? I need to know if he thinks I'm a freak or he hates me or anything! Please just will you ask?"

"Yes. Ok Hermione just calm down!"

…………………

"Harry you know what Hermione said earlier? What would you say to her about that?"

"To tell you the truth Ron……..I……I…..well…..I…"

"You what!"

"I like her too. I've liked her since the first day we met on the train."

"Ok I know I'm supposed to be the best friend that will give advice, but I'm sort-of in a state of shock right now… ok hold on…..let me get this right…you said that you've always liked Hermione?"

"Correct."

"Then go tell her because….um…right now she thinks that you think that she's a total loser!"

"I don't know if I can. I don't know what to say. What if she thinks that I'm a total idiot."

"Just go. Just go tell her you idiot!"

………………

"Hermione? Are you in here?"

"Oh…um…..Harry…..what are you doing here?"

"I came to tell you something."

"What that I'm a weird loser?"

"No……that….I…um…..likeyoualot! Andwillyougooutwithme?"

"What? I didn't catch what you said."

"I like you a lot! And will you go out with me?

"What?…….Yes! Of course!"

Dum….Dum….Dum….! Do you know what's going to happen? If you have any ideas please let me know. This chapter was easy to write! Usually when I listen to music is when I write really good stories! LOL! R&R!
