'I love you, Draco Malfoy'

Draco walked up to Hermione once again, pecked her on the lips and replied, 'I love you, too, baby. I love you, too'

Hermione smiled. She remembered that moment which happened yesterday.

'Mione! What are you saying?' Ron's harsh voice managed to choke out.

'I'm telling Draco I love him'

'Are you blind, Hermione? He's high priest of the Slytherin heir! You can't love him! In the name of Godric Gryffindor! You're Gryffindor! He's Slytherin! Don't you get it? Why can't you love another Gryffindor or something? Like me!'

'This isn't like you, Ron. When I dated Blaise, you didn't say anything. He's Slytherin!'

'Uh-um'

'Why can't you accept me for who I am? Why?'

'I-'

'Why are you like this?' Hermione said, tears filling her eyes. She clung onto Draco, tightly. 'Harry! What is it with Ron? You accept me! Why can't he? Harry?'

'I don't know, Herms. I don't know. What's the matter Ron? Why are you like this?'

'Do you accept Hermione this way?'

'Don't change the sub-'

'Do you accept Hermione this way?' Ron repeated fiercly.

'What is it with you? Obviously I do! She's my best friend!'

Ron headed towards the oak door. He tossed a piece of parchment while Harry went after him. The parchment landed next to Draco and Hermione. They watched Ron and Harry go out. And they were all alone.

Hermione still kept the letter. She didn't want to open it. She was afraid what was going to be revealed inside. She examined the parchment again. It was parchment brown, with a red ribbon around it. On the front it said "Hermione Ann" written in fancy writing.

'Hermione! Hermione!' Harry's voice was shuddered in panic.

'Yeah?'

'Its Ron!'

'What?'

'He backshot a spell on him. A semi-killing charm'

'What on earth was he doing?'

'I don't know! C'mon! He's in the Hospital Wing'

She walked into the Hospital Wing. It was empty like the day she woke up.

'Ron?'

'Hermione?'

'Yeah, its me. What did you do?'

'Tried to kill a bunch of termites. They were eating my books.'

'Oh.'

'What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be with Draco?'

'Um, he's doing some work with Annilisa Drawk.'

'Who's she?'

'Potions master. Ten times more perfect than Snape'

'I see'

'What spell did you use?'

'I don't know. I just muttered one'

'Hi, Mione' Draco said while giving Hermione a quick kiss.

'Hi'

'Hi Ron. What are you doing in the hospital wing?'

'Backshot. Semi-killing spell'

'Oh' Draco said and walked over to Ron's bedside. He put his hand on Ron's arm and chanted a few Latin words.

'What are you doing?'

'Oh no.'

'What?'

'Ron. I'm sorry to tell you this, but I'm afraid you won't live.'

'Why not?'

'You used a powerful hex. It has an ability to stay in your body for as long as it wants to. After you die, it will disappear. It will slowly kill you. Have you taken any candy lately?'

'I just had a Large Bertie Botts Every Flavoured Beans and ten packets of Chocolate Frogs.'

'No wonder its spreading rapidly. Within forty-eight hours, you'll die.'

'I hope you're wrong' Draco heard Hermione mutter.

Obviously, he was right. Within four days, Ron was dying. Hermione fought her tears. Every single cell in her body longed to cry. But she couldn't and wouldn't.

'Hermione.'

'Yes, Ron?'

'Have you read the letter?'

'No'

'When I die, read it. Its important.'

'Personal?'

'Yes. Personal. Nobody else but you.'

'Okay'

And within seconds, Ron closed his eyes. He felt him self shut off. 'I'm asleep' he thought. But he felt his blood stopped flowing. His dark vision faded. He tried moving. But he wouldn't flinch. His heart had stopped. Every single thing in his body had stopped moving. He is dead.

The last thing he heard was Hermione's sweet voice. She was shouting 'RON! RON!'. Tears began to flow down her crimson cheek. Goodbye Hermione. I-i-i-i-looove you.

Hermione went up to her room and took out the letter. Finally, she had the guts to open it and read it. It read :

Dear Mione,

I have never wanted to tell you but I guess its time. We walk our separate ways. You've gotten boyfriends and you've paid less attention to me. I never got involved with girls but all I did was watch you and your boyfriends snuggle and snog.

I always curled up in jealousy. Blaise would come over and watch with me. We sat from far distances, wondering if you ever thought of us at all. But we always concluded you didn't.

And all of a sudden, Draco was your soul mate. You hung with him. He was your boyfriend. You never looked twice at me, but you looked a million times at Draco. Every single drop of me was ill. Ill for your love. But as far as I know, Hermione. I'll never get it.

As you know, I died today. That was because I killed myself. I didn't want to be a part of your life, nor anybody's again. I had not accidentally backfired the shot. I did it. I didn't want to use Avara Kadevera as I want to hear your melodious voice before I leave.

So long, Hermione Ann Granger. I love you.

Your Lover,

Ronald Weasley
