Chapter 12: You're Beautiful

The festivities lasted until dawn. Hermione tried to cover up her anger with Ron – she didn't want to ruin Ginny's night. She shouldn't have to worry about something like this.

The next morning she'd be leaving. She couldn't believe that after spending countless weeks at the Burrow, Ron hadn't told her a thing! At eleven o'clock on September 15, she roughly stuffed the last article of clothing into her trunk and dragged it down the stairs.

Rain once again splattered the windows from a dull gray sky.

Harry and Ginny detached from each other (finally) to wish Hermione good bye. First, she gave Ginny a hug. "Ron is a stupid prat, you know that," Ginny whispered in her friend's ear, "he'll come around."

"Thanks," Hermione said, not exactly sure that what her friend had said was true. "Take care. Thanks for everything." Harry shrugged and Ginny smiled. "It was nothing." Then, Harry gave her a hug. "Bye 'Mione. It was nice to see you again."

She was sad to leave her friends. It seemed like the time they had together was only a few days.

"Ginny is going to move in with me in a few weeks," Harry told her. "Okay, I'll write," Hermione promised.

She said goodbye to the rest of the Weasleys present, last of all, Ron. She didn't want to say goodbye. "Bye," she said, her eyes started to burn with tears.

Without another word, she stalked out the door and into the pouring rain. It wasn't until she was halfway across the yard that the tears really started coming. Blinded by tears, she nearly tripped over a gnome. Along with her salty tears were runs of mascara. She quickly wiped it away, which did nothing to help.

She was about to apparate when – "HERMIONE!"

Ron Weasley was soaked, running down the garden path towards her.

"Hermione," he said again, this time out of breath. "I love you, a lot. A lot, a lot." He felt twelve years of love coming out of him. And he said this all without breaking eye contact. Hermione couldn't speak. She was dumbfounded.

After a moment of silence Ron said "D-do you love me?"

Hermione started to smile. She was almost laughing- but not in a psychotic moron way. She answered his question with a kiss. "You're beautiful," Ron whispered in her ear.

Hermione Granger was finally living her happily ever after. If this were a fairy tale, she thought happily to herself, they I guess fairy tales aren't all that bad.

THE END!

My life is

brilliant.

My life is brilliant
My love is

pure.
I saw an angel.
Of that I'm sure.
She

smiled at me on the subway.
She was with another man.
But I won't lose no sleep on that,
'Cause

I've got a plan.

You're beautiful.

You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's

true.
I saw your face in a crowded place,
And I

don't know what to do,
'Cause I'll never be

with you.

Yes, she caught my eye,
As we walked

on by.
She could see from my face that I was,
Fucking

high,
And I don't think that I'll see her

again,
But we shared a moment that will last 'till the

end.

You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
I saw your face in

a crowded place,
And I don't know what to do,
'Cause I'll never be with you.

La la la

la la la la la la

You're beautiful. You're

beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
There must be an angel with a smile on her face,
When she

thought up that I should be with you.
But it's time to

face the truth,
I will never be with you.
