Chapter 1
Confessions
Hermione Granger lay on her bed at the Burrow, where Ron's family had invited her to stay for summer holiday. She wasn't doing anything in particular, except thinking. About Ron. She had been secretly in love with him ever since his heroic act on the giant chessboard in their first year at Hogwarts. But they were young then. It was only a crush. Now they were 17 years old, and she was almost breathless whenever Ron walked into a room.
He was good looking, with his flaming hair that matched his face when he got embarrassed, and his freckles. He also made her laugh. She used to be sure he liked her to, but now, she had her doubts.
Just then, Ron came bounding into the room with two envelopes in his hand.
"They're our school letters! You got Head Girl, I know it!" he said happily. Hermione opened her letter, and, sure enough, a Head Girl's badge fell into her lap.
"Whoa." Ron said, obviously dumbstruck about something. Hermione looked at what was in his hand. It was a Head Boy's badge.
"Ron! Oh my goodness!" This was great! They had to sleep in the same dormitory!
And then, not thinking about what she was doing, gave him a big kiss on the mouth!
Ron was dumbstruck. He'd always wanted this to happen,but had never expected it to. He had always thought that Hermione fancied Harry. He pulled away and asked Hermione why she had done that.
"Because...I like you Ron." She said quietly.
"Huh? No, you like Harry, don't you?" Ron asked.
"Harry? No! He's too much like an older brother to me. I've liked you ever since the end of first year." Hermione admitted.
"Same with me, except I've liked you ever since our first potions lesson. I thought that you knowing everything was really attractive." Ron said, going crimson and studying his shoes.
"Hey, there's nothing to be embarrassed about," Hermione said, lifing rons chin up and gazing into his deep blue eyes that she had looked at for so long.
"You know how I feel, so it's not like this huge, dark secret."
At that time, Ron was staring into Hermione's chocolate brown eyes with one thought on his mind;
Marry me!
Before he could say another word, Hermione had given him another kiss. This time he accepted it without any hesitation. The kiss started out gentle, but then their six years of pent-up emotion kicked in. They were lost in a world of their own.
But somebody else saw them. Ginny Weasly. Ginny walked in on the two in the middle of their kiss and slipped out of the room without them noticing. As she walked down the hall, she thought,
Well, it's about time. Geez.
Her mion could not belive this was happening. She had never dreamed that Ron felt the same way about her. Well she had dreamed, but...
