True Feelings

Chapter 1

Disclaimer: I do not own anything related to this story.

"What? What do you mean Hermione's in trouble? Ron! Talk please!" screamed Harry.

Ron looked up into Harry's eyes and saw the same love and the same lust for her as he did for her as well. He was overcome with such emotion of anger and frustration towards Harry that he had to walk away for fear that he might do something he may later regret.

"Ron! Ron! Come back! Please tell me what is going to happen to her! I can't stand the thought that Hermione is in trouble… please tell me what's wrong. I-I love her…so much." Said Harry in a low voice, shouting across the whole common room to tell Ron his true feelings towards Hermione.

"What? How can you tell me that you love her so much! Do you know the meaning of love, Harry? You think that you can get any girl that you want just because you're the famous Harry Potter! I have loved her since the first time I saw her at Kings Cross! I'm the one that has thought about her every second of every day all the time! I'm the one that would sit for hours just watching her sleep! Do you really know what it means to be in love? Tell me, Harry! Come on, if you know than please, tell me! Tell me how you've watched her every second; looking at her, making sure that she is safe at all times… thinking about her constantly. Come on Harry, tell me… tell us all what you think of her." Said Ron as he walked back down the steps and stopped right in front of Harry's face to hear his answer.

Harry thought about his answer very carefully. He now knew that he was not the only person that was in love with Hermione. He didn't want to lose any friendship just because of the choices that he would make at this very minute. " I don't know, Ron. I haven't sat by her bed watching her sleep, and I don't think about her all the time… but I do have feelings for her, just like you do."

Ron watched him climb up the stairs into his dormitory and close the door. He could hear people behind him start to whisper, telling their friends what just happened. Ron, hearing some of the conversation, started feeling guilty about what he said. "Its okay for Harry to love her too… I shouldn't lose my friendship over this. Besides, I doubt that either one of us will get her anyway. She's to attached to Malfoy to even look at one of us this way. I should go apologize to him." Thought Ron as he left the common room, ignoring the many people staring up at him as the walked up the stairs and into the boys dormitory. Ron found Harry on his bed looking at pictures of him, Ron and Hermione. Ron stepped closer and saw the three of them laughing together. It was a few minutes in silence before Harry started to speak. "I wish that everything was still like this. Just the three of us, hanging out together, don't you wish that?" he said still looking at the picture tracing out Hermione's face with his finger. Without waiting for a reply his added, "We only cared for Hermione then. She was the solver of our problems, not the maker of them. I miss the old days so much, everything is just so different now. I want Hermione back, our Hermione back."

Ron came closer, and put his arm on Harry's shoulder. "I miss the old days too, but Hermione wants to be with Malfoy, and as friends of hers it would be wrong to tell her how we really feel. As much as I want too."

Harry looked up at him, biting his lip as though he wanted to say something. "Ron, you know when you pulled me aside, after Hermione left, you said that she was in trouble. Can you tell me about it?"

Ron nodded his head and began his story. "Well, this morning I can up to her dormitory to talk to her and I heard her screaming so I rushed into the room and she was like, having a fit or something so I told her roommates to get out and I woke her up. We went down to the Potions classroom together and she gave me a note. I still have it. Here" he said as he handed over the note for Harry to read.

Harry took the note and started to read it. As he read on, he couldn't believe what was there. When he finished he fell in his bed as though someone had just thrown him onto it. HE looked up at Ron and together they started thinking about everything that had occurred in that day's event.

"Okay, well, the Gala is one big problem. But that's all that I can think about, I mean, no black dress robes and no pregnancy with Malfoy, that we know of anyway." Said Harry snickering that the fact of Hermione and Draco actually "being" together like that anyway.

"Okay, well, we can talk to her tomorrow, so let's get to bed, its past midnight… you'd better hope that I don't fall asleep in History of Magic tomorrow!"

Right as they both were drifting off to sleep Hermione ran into their room yelling for them both to wake up. "Ron! Harry! Wake up! I have to tell you something."

They both looked up as Hermione lit a light with her wand. "What is it Hermione?" said Ron rubbing his eyes.

"Well, I went to talk to Draco, and we went shopping…"

Hermione/Draco Flashback

"Hey Hermione, what about this one?" said Draco as he held up a lovely purple robe.

"Its way to big, I told you that I need a size 6."

"Excuse me miss. Do you happen to have this in a size 6?" said Hermione, holding up a beautiful light blue robe.

"Nope, I'm sorry dear. All we have in size 6 is this one." Said the attendant, holding up a very attractive black dress robe.

"Oh, Hermione, that one would look so good on you! We'll take it." Said Draco holding out his credit card.

End of Hermione/Draco Flashback

"Wow Hermione, your vision is coming true… what are you going to do? I mean, the only thing missing is the…. (gulp) pregnancy." Said Ron, looking attentively to Hermione, waiting for her response.

"Well, I can't guarantee anything, but I highly doubt that I'll do anything with Draco, I mean, we're not that close in our relationship to be going to that extremity yet."

"Okay, just promise that if you do, you'll use protection." Said Harry coming up behind her and staring at her with those big green eyes.

Hermione nodded turned her heel and ran out into the hallway.

"Harry? What are we gonna do? I mean, everything is set. There's only one part missing, and I'm sure if Draco wants it, he'll get it. What are we gonna do? I'm scared for her, Harry. I don't want her to go through that pain."

"I know, Ron. We'll think of something, lets just sleep on it. Maybe we'll talk to her in the morning."

Ron spent half the night rolling around in his bed, unable to get comfortable, thinking about Hermione.

Ron's Dream Sequence

"Ron! Ron! Please, help me!" cried out Hermione in a world of pain, held back by Draco, ripping off her clothes and tying them around her legs, arms and gagging her around the mouth. Ron ran as fast as he possibly could to come and rescue her. He came to the door, put his hand on the door knob but realized that it had been locked. He backed away from the door and ran as hard as he could back into it, he could hear her yelping in pain as he rushed into the door. Pausing to rest he sat down and thought of ways to break the door open. Then finally he realized something so easy, how could he forget? He was a wizard! He could use magic! He backed away from the door, pulled out his wand and screamed, "Alohomora!" and the door came unlocked. He rushed inside to find that Draco had fled the scene and left Hermione there to die. As he strode into the room, he saw Hermione lying on the bed, unconscious. "Hermione! Please, wake up…"

End of Ron's Dream Sequence

Ron woke up with tears in his eyes. He ran over to Harry's bed and shook him until his head most have been bursting out of his skull. "W-what's up Ron? What's the matter?"

"I just had the vision… like Hermione's…. I think."

Harry opened his eyes and sat up to hear Ron's story.

"Well… it started out with…"

Sorry… couldn't think of a good cliffhanger this time. I need 5 reviews before I continue.
