"I think she and Lavender brought him to the Hospital Wing" he answered calmly.

I didn't say anything more. I ran to the Hospital Wing and Harry followed me.

When I got there, I didn't believe what I saw.

I think I screamed.

Chapter 4: Drawing little hearts

Ron was lying in his bed, consciously kissing Lavender Brown, in the middle of the Hospital Wing.

And that's why I think I screamed. Because they stopped doing it and both looked at me.

"Hermione, maybe we should wait outside" Harry said, as he held my arm, trying to pull me to the door.

"Wait…" Ron said. I didn't move "…Harry! I want to talk to you…in privet."

Lavender left the hospital wing to join Parvati. Only now I had noticed Parvati was waiting outside the door.

I followed them.

"Hermione, are you ok?" Parvati asked.

"You look horrible! You should do something about those rings around your eyes!" Lavender said.

"I don't care about your futile advices, OK?" I said and ran into the Gryffindor common room. I grabbed a book and started reading in front of the fireplace.

But I couldn't concentrate. My thoughts were in the Hospital Wing. Ron kissing Lavender, and now refusing to speak to me.

And then I thought about Harry's stupid conclusion about me being in love with Ron.

That was absolutely impossible. I mean, Ron was my best friend. Best friends don't fall in love!

I felt tired and closed my eyes. Ron was marrying Lavender and I was the priest. Words would come out of my mouth without my notice. Harry's voice was saying he had warned me. And suddenly I heard him screaming "Hermione! Hermione"

And I woke up, seeing his green eyes looking at me.

"Hermione, are you ok?" he asked.

"Yeah, why wouldn't I?"

"You were having a bad dream, weren't you?"

"No, it was only a weird dream. I'm fine. Where's Ron?"

"In the Hospital Wing. It seems Malfoy jinxed him and Lavender found him lying on the floor, near Myrtle's bathroom" Harry explained to me.

"Oh, Lavender found him, did she?" I asked.

"I just told you. Yes, she did. What's wrong with you?" Harry asked me, but before I could answer «Nothing!» he continued "Wait, I know. You're upset."

"Why would I be upset?"

"Because you saw Ron kissing Lavender!"

"Don't be silly!"

"Hermione, you screamed!"

"I screamed because I didn't expect to see him lying on the bed. Besides, being sick, he shouldn't be kissing her. But it's fine. I hope they make a perfect couple together."

Harry smiled. "Hermione, look at you! You're so in love!"

"Oh, come on, Harry! Get that thought out of your mind! I don't love Ron. I just care about him!" I said, losing my patience.

"It's written in your eyes, Hermione! Actually, it's also written in your books!" Harry said, still smiling.

"What? It's not written in my books!" I yelled.

"Well, you didn't write «I love Ron», but I noticed in potions that you were drawing little hearts!" Harry's smile turned into a laugh.

I knew he was right. I had indeed been drawing little hearts in my potion's book.

"That's completely normal. Every girl draws little hearts in her books!" I tried to make my point.

"Every normal girl, Hermione. But you're not like the other girls. That's why you're my best friend. Now, if you're drawing little hearts in your books, it means you're in love." Harry said between laughs.

"Let's just say that's true. That I'm in love. It doesn't mean I'm in love with Ron!" After saying this, I was sure Harry wouldn't have an answer for me. But he did.

"Yes it does. It's obvious. And you're starting to realise it!"

"You know what, Harry? I'll not argue with you anymore! This subject is just not worth it! If you want to think I love Ron, then think! See if I care!"

As I said this, I went to the girl's dormitory.

The problem was, Harry was right. I was in love with Ron. But I couldn't admit it. Not after seeing him kissing Lavender. Just not.

When I reached my bed I realised I had forgot my book in the common room and I went downstairs.

But before I got in the common room, I heard voices.

"Why did you kiss her?" Harry asked Ron.

"Well, she told me she liked me…" Ron answered.

"And do YOU like her, Ron?" Harry asked, upset.

"Well, I guess so. I mean, she's quite pretty…" Ron couldn't finish.

"…and FUTILE! But I didn't ask you if you thought she was pretty. Do you love her?"

"Well, no. But it's not like if we're dating or anything! It was just a kiss!" Ron said.

"Whatever. Why are you avoiding Hermione?"

"Wait. I heard something. I think it came from the girl's dorm. Wanna check?"

"Whatever, but we can't get in there"

I went back to the dorm and got into bed ad fast as I could. There was nobody else in the dorm, but still I pretended to be sleeping, in case Ron would send Lavender to check what had happened.

a/N: I know…you can hate me. This chapter sucks. But I promise the next one will be much better! Review please! Cya
