LEAVE NOTHING HANGING

"We've finally graduated." Ron muttered quietly.

The only on who heard him was his friend of seven years, busy-haired, bookworm Hermione. She would normally have replied to him, but as of that moment they were currently feuding and this time Hermione refused to be the one to give in first. Instead she turned her attention back to the party raving in the common room. She blinked a tear out of her eye as she thought about how this would be her last night there. After tonight she would never again be able to sit there in her favorite chair and read the books that were so close to her heart; she would ever again lei in her red and gold bed thinking about Ron and his infuriating, selfish, conceded, lovable, cute, amazing ways…

Hermione was startled out of her reverie by a shadow that enveloped her. She raised her head to see the figure of her thoughts standing in front of her,

"Mind if I sit down?" asked Ron shyly.

Hermione shrugged, not forgetting their feud.

Ron took a seat by her.

"Look," be began awkwardly, "I know I've not been the most sensitive bloke in the world. I don't really think before I say stuff. I mean… what I'm trying to say, is that… I'm sorry. You were right and I was wrong. When you said that I was just fighting to hide what I really felt…" Ron sighed. "It's all true."

Hermione gasped.

"I just don't want to leave Hogwarts with unfinished business," continued Ron, "I don't want to leave anything hanging, you know? Okay," he took a deep breath, "I like you Hermione. I've liked you forever and well, I know you've liked me, but each time you've said something, I second guessed it and told my mind that it wasn't true. Will you forgive me?"

Hermione's eyes were shining. "I never thought… I can't believe… yes! Yes I forgive you, you stupid prat!"

"Oh, and will you be my girlfriend?" asked a hopeful Ron.

Hermione grinned.
