Hermione ran out quickly after Harry.

" How could you " cried Harry. " Ron trusted you. He's four years older than you."

" Oh get a life Harry " screamed Hermione. " True love is what matters. I dont care if he was ten years older than me. If he loves me , well then thats all I care about. Four years is no big deal. I am old enough to know what love is."

" So you admitt it. You have feelings for this boy."

" Yes " she replied. " I did... but it's over."

" Forgive my confusion but that did not look like it was over."

" It is..."

" He was all over you... it was more like a lets see who can go the longest without breathing kissing competition."

" I didn't think you were watching us for that long."

" I wasn't ... but I saw enough to know what was going on."

" I was kissing him goodbye."

" Hmm " said Harry. " Normally a kiss goodbye is a peck on the cheek and a I'll see you around... that however."

" Well sorry Harry if some of your love interests have been dull , but I was saying goodbye and I meant it. Yes we kissed passionatly. It's what people do..."

" But Ron..."

" I'm coming back to Ron... I know I made a mistake..."

Harry sighed. " He's going to be crushed."

Hermione nodded and a tear rolled down her cheek. " I'll understand if he never forgives me. But I want to be with him."

Harry shook his head. " It's best if you be completly honest with him. Hermione it might not be so bad... you have always been perfect... Ron may forgive you."

She nodded. " I was such a fool... but Shayne was and is..."

Harry looked at her. " I know what you are saying Hermione. It was the same with Cho and Ginny. Cho was beautiful ... but she didn't have Ginny's cute looks or her warm personality , she never made me laugh and I always felt anxious around her because I was afraid...Id mess up and she wouldn't like me..."

Hermione shook her head. " Shayne wasn't like that... he respected me...he was smart and ...well if I didn't love Ron so much. I probably would go off with him."
