Review Replies (yay, lots of them!)
ellz ellz - You'll see what Ron will do in this chapter!
PotterPhan21 - I think it was just a relative mentioned and everyone brought it upon themselves to use it as his middle name. I haven't read the books in about 2 months so I couldn't remember, lol!
Lord Leon Tewasoki - Thank you! Glad to see your reviews again!
LordoftheRingsandHarryPotterGirl - Well, you'll see about Ron's reaction in this chapter! Hope you enjoy it.
darkcelestial20 - I know I'm evil with my cliffies, but it just seemed a perfect place to put it, wouldn't you have done the same? Or are you kind?
lilyhermioneevans - Here's the update, enjoy.
DrusillaBraun - Wow, credit to you for the longest review I've got so far! I think that B is the closest, but read on anyway!
Lycan Lamia - Yeah ok, I think that your right about his middle name, but Bilius is such a strange name I just didn't want to use it, lol!
Chapter 7: More True Feelings
Last Time…
"No, it's just a little difficult to say." She sighed again, looking away from his questioning eyes.
"Hermione, just come out and say it." Ron moved her head so he could look straight into her eyes.
"Ron. Ronald Howard Weasley, I… I love you. I've loved you since third year, I just never realised it. I guess I found out in the past year. I want to spend the rest of my life with you." Hermione paused for a moment. Ron looked shocked. "Well, say something. Please." Ron opened his mouth, then shut it again. Hermione stood up. "I knew this was a mistake. I'm so sorry. Please forgive me." She turned to leave…
Well, lets have a sing song shall we? 999,999,999 bottles of butterbeer on the wall... ((Sees reader's glares)) Ok, lets just get on with the story then, ok? ((More glares)) and I apologise for making the stuff before the beginning of the actual chapter longer than it should have been, please don't kill me...
She turned to leave...
…when Ron grabbed her arm.
"Hermione. I love you too. I've loved you since first year. I've never told you because I thought you might not feel the same way. Mione, I want to spend the rest of my life with you, never miss a moment, you're my first and only love. I love you Hermione Jane Granger and I never want to be apart from you." Hermione had tears in her eyes.
"I didn't think that you would feel the same." Hermione threw her arms around him and he returned the embrace. "Oh Ronald." She whispered into his shoulder.
They parted and looked into each others eyes. Ron moved his lips towards her and they kissed softly. They parted for a few seconds then were pulled into a longer kiss.
Harry (back to his normal look) and Ginny entered the room through the door 5 minutes later (they had only been in the attic) and Ron and Hermione were still kissing, but had moved over to the bed.
"Woah!" Ginny shouted, startling the two teens. "What's going on?"
"It's about bloody time mate." Harry said, grinning. "The signs have been there since fourth year. And it means I win that bet! Yes!" Harry punched the air.
"Its only 20 galleons for Merlin's sake Harry. Your family are loaded any way." Ginny told him, hitting his arm.
'What is it with your sister and violence Ron?' Harry thought to Ron, who smiled.
"Don't ask me Harry." Ron said, forgetting Harry had thought it to him.
"What did you ask him, Harry?" Ginny looked at him.
"Nothing much. Don't worry about it Ginny." Harry said quickly. Ginny narrowed her eyes at him but said no more.
"So, were you just waiting for the right moment Ron, or was it just because we left?" Ginny asked.
"Actually, it was me. I told him everything and he felt the same way." Hermione said, still holding Ron's hand. They looked at each other and kissed again.
"You know, for two people keeping their feelings in for so long, you sure know how to start." Ginny said. "And its really sickening watch my best friend and my brother snogging."
Harry grinned. "I think you had better get used to that Gin, by the looks of them two." They parted and Ron glared at Harry.
"Take that back Harry." Ron said. Harry shook his head so Ron entered his head.
'RON! GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY HEAD NOW!' Harry screamed in his head. Ron stuck his mental self's tongue out at him.
"Harry is very sorry but he needs to be elsewhere. I will be taking over from him for a while." Ron said out loud in his own voice, which made the two girls jump.
"Ronald Howard Weasley, get out of Harry this instance!" Hermione shrieked.
"And if I don't?"
Hermione went up to his ear and whispered, "Then you don't get to sneak into my room tonight, for some private time." Predictably, he was out of there quicker than a firework.
"Hermione, next time you do that, make sure I can't hear you first." Harry said, making Hermione blush. "Once you get going you really don't waste time do you?"
"Eugh, Harry please. I don't need to hear about my brother like that!" Ginny covered her ears.
"Sorry Gin. Didn't mean to scar you for life. But I had to listen to it." Harry shuddered.
"Shut up Harry." Ron said.
"No you shut up."
"No you!"
"NO! You!"
"BOTH OF YOU SHUT UP!" Hermione and Ginny shouted at the same time.
"Sorry Mione." Ron said.
Sorry Gin." Harry said.
"Now, I'm going to bed. If I hear either of you again, then I will make sure that the offer of Ginny's will stand." Hermione stormed out of the room. Harry looked to Ron.
"Not going after her?"
"With her like that? I…" He stopped as Hermione said something in his head. "On second thoughts, I'm gonna turn in early too. G'Night." He flew out of the room quicker than a bullet.
"I think I don't want to know." Harry said and Ginny nodded in agreement.
"I think my mind would have been scared. Well, now what?" Ginny asked, sitting on Harry's bed.
"Ginny. Erm, since… well, I need to ask you something." Harry said. 'Merlin, this is difficult.'
"What is it Harry?" Ginny asked. 'Oh my Merlin. Is he going to say what I think he's going to say?'
"Well, Ginny, let me just say it. How do you really feel about me?"
"Harry, I… What do you mean?"
Harry sighed, running a hand through his already messy hair. "You know how I mean. Do you like me, like a lot?"
Ginny's eyes glistened. "Harry, I've loved you since you saved me from the Basilisk. I thought it was just a crush, but then you saved me in the Ministry last year and I knew it was love. I haven't told anyone except Hermione. I love you so much, why else would I always be round here?"
Ginny I love you too. I love the way you looked so innocent when your mum helped me through the barrier in my first year. I love the way your hair glistens in sunlight, the way your eyes sparkle when you smile. You have helped me when I needed it. I love you, Ginevra Molly Weasley, and I never want to miss a moment of your life." Ginny jumped into his arms and they both hugged each other. Then , like Ron and Hermione had done just less than 10 minutes before, they kissed, but they didn't have to try twice. And it lasted a LOT longer, until they had to breathe.
"Wow. That was so, wow." Ginny said.
"Tell me about it." Harry replied, tucking a stray hair behind her ear. They sat on Harry's bed and spoke for hours until they fell asleep in each others arms.
Ahh, a whole chapter filled with lovely fluffiness! Well, I had to get them all together eventually!
