Chapter Two:
There were so many things Hermione had to ask herself. Why had Victor done that? And how could she have left Ron? She unfolded her hands, put them at her sides, and then refolded them again. She sighed and stared out the train window. Farm landscapes and cows sped by her. She did the process of holding her hands again. And sighed, again.
Ninety miles outside Chicago (A/N: more like Bulgaria)
Can't stop driving I don't know why
So many questions, I need an answer
Two years later you're still on my mind
Ron lay in his bed thinking about, life. Hermione's invitation had come six months ago;Hermione's wedding was in one month. Would he go? If he went, would he still be in love with her? So many questions, he knew he would never get an answer from anyone but himself.
Whatever happened to Amelia Earheart?
Who holds the stars up in the sky?
Is true love just once in a lifetime?
Did the captain of the Titanic cry?
Hermione thought about her afternoon. She had walked into Victor's flat and he was senselessly snogging some other girl. Victor told her that he never loved and he loved the girl he was making out with. Hermione ran out of the apartment, sobbing. She thought of all she had left behind for that, that, pig. She thought of Ron. "How could I be soo stupid. I knew I loved Ron but I let my self think I loved Victor." She suddenly remembered the afternoon in which Victor had arrived. "Hermione I l-" Ron started as he stared down at Hermione. " So he had liked me!" she thought bitterly. But she and Ron could never be together. Ron had a girlfriend, and even if he didn't, he was stubborn and Hermione wouldn't blame him if he didn't take her back.
Oh, Someday we'll know
If love can move a mountain
Someday we'll know
Why the sky is blue
Someday we'll know
Why I wasn't meant for you...
Ron looked through a box of pictures. He picked out one of him and Hermione on a Hogsmeade trip. There were smiling at each there and every now and then Ron would look down at Hermione and she would look away and blush. It was his favorite picture because it was just them together. No Harry, no Ginny, just Hermione and him. He put the picture in a picture frame so he could look at in whenever he wanted.
Hermione pulled out a picture she had always kept in her purse. It was a picture of herself and Ron on the day of Dumbledore's funeral. Hermione was lying down with her head on Ron's shoulder. Occasionally, Ron would run his hand through Hermione's hair. Hermione slightly smiled. She kept the picture in her hand the whole train ride.
Does anybody know the way to Atlantis?
Or what the wind says when she cries?
I'm speeding by the place that I met you
For the ninety-seventh time...Tonight
Ron looked at the picture of himself and Hermione. He almost cried. He was in love with Hermione, but he knew he could never be with her. She was getting married for Pete's sake! "But," Ron thought, " but if love is really the only element that can withstand time, distance, death and all that other who blah then maybe me and Hermione could…. No, it would never work. She loves Victor." So Ron lay in his bed and prepared for another sleepless night.
Someday we'll know
If love can move a mountain
Someday we'll know
Why the sky is blue
Someday we'll know
Why I wasn't meant for you...
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
Hermione nodded off into sleep and she had a wonderful dream. She and Ron were lying on the ground, where the rainbow ended. They watched as the rays of color slid down the rainbow. It was so tranquil. Ron grabbed her hand and…
Open up the world
Ibought a ticket to the end of the rainbow
Surprisingly, Ron did manage to sleep. He had a beautiful dream. He and Hermione were lying on the beach. They watched as the stars crashed down from the heavens. Hermione smiled at him.
Watched the stars crash in the sea
If can ask God just one question
They both woke up with a start. Hermione quickly looked out her window and watched the stars. Ron rolled over on his side and looked out of his window. They both longed for each other, to be in each other's arms, to be able to confess their love.
Why aren't you here with me tonight?
From the callbox outside of the train station, Hermione called Ginny and got Ron's address. She apparated into Ron's living room.
"Hermione?" Ron asked coming from the kitchen. She nodded. They ran to each other. Ron wrapped his arms around her and held her tight as she sobbed into his shirt. "So I see things didn't work out with Victor."
"No, he cheated on me but Ron I realized that I l-" Hermione started but she was interrupted.
"Hey sweetheart, I'm home!" A girl's voice interrupted. She walked into the living room carrying a bag of groceries.
"Hey Karen. Oh this is Hermione." Ron said. He still had his arms around her. "Uh, see Victor
just-"
"The Hermione Granger! No way. Ron is constantly talking about you." She pulled Hermione out of Ron's embrace and hugged her herself. "Oh, I know what it looks like." She said as she picked up her bag of groceries. Hermione heart filled with hope, maybe she was just neighbor. "I'm not his a live-in girlfriend. I just wanted to make him dinner tonight because it's our two month anniversary."
"Oh, well that's just great." Hermione said in the same strained voice that Ron used when she talked about Victor. "Listen, I've got to go. I'll see you later, ok?" she tried not to cry. She walked out of the door. Ron followed.
Oh, Someday we'll know
If love can move a mountain
Someday we'll know
Why the sky is blue
Someday we'll know
Why I wasn't meant for you...
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
A single tear ran down her cheek Ron used his thumb to wipe it off. He stared into her eyes.
"Don't cry." He soothed.
"I'm not sad or anything. No. I'm just really happy for you and Karen. But I have to tell you something."
"I love you." They both said at the same time.
Someday we'll know
Why Samson loved Delilah
One day I'll go
Dancing on the moon
Someday you'll know
That I was the one for you...
