Hermione shook his hand.
"Hello Ronald," she said in an icy tone, she wanted to forgive him, but she couldn't. If he had not said the 3 words that he die, they probably would have spoken in past couple of years, and it's not 'I love you'.
"Look Hermione, I came here to apologize in person. I can't stand not talking to you. You've always been my best friend. Even when we had arguments, I never thought of ending the friendship, anyway, I'm really sorry 'Mione."
"Well Ronald, what do you expect me to do? Do you want me to say 'It's OK I forgive you!' do you realize how much you hurt me? Do you even remember what you called me?" Hermione exclaimed, waiting for an answer from Rom.
"Well, I-I remember something to with Quidditch." Rom stuttered meekly.
"YOU CALLED ME A QUIDDITCH PLAYER'S SLUT!"
At this time the entire Pub went quite and a few families and children left.
"Well you said yourself that you only went out with good Quidditch players." Ron argued.
"SO WHAT? I could have been joking! Even if I wasn't that doesn't give you the right to call me a slut!" Hermione said outraged.
"Well maybe I was just jealous of Krum-," Ron started
"Oh here we go again! Now you're going to go on and on about Victor! Why can't you just forget about him?"
"Bloody hell Hermione, why won't you let me finish my sentence?" Ron said more calmly. " I was going to say that maybe I was jealous of Krum and McLaggen. After all, you went to the Yule Ball with Victor and to Slughorn's Party, with Cormac. Did you ever think that maybe I wanted to go with you to the Ball or Party?"
"Well I asked you to Slughorns Party, but you had to insult me." Hermione was now speaking softer.
"And at least I had the decency of having a private kiss and only a kiss. I never pulled Victor into the Gryffindor Common Room and snogged him in front of everybody."
"Don't bring up Lavender Brown, 'Mione," Ron begged.
"Why do you still like her?"
"No, it's just that, I was sixteen and really stupid."
"I'll say, why did you start dating her in the first place?"
"Well to tell you the truth. Earlier that day I saw Ginny kissing Dean Thomas. She and I got into an argument and she said that you had snogged Krum. And I was upset. I wanted to get you jealous. I thought maybe you'd notice me."
"Ron, I've liked you since 2nd year. You hurt me so much when you called me that horrible name."
"I'm sorry Hermione. Can I tell you something? Nearly every night I have a dream that I see you but when I try to touch you, I wake up. I wish I wouldn't though. Hermione, when I saw you sad it broke my heart. I love you Hermione Jane Granger."
"Oh Ron," Hermione said, "I love you too!" she got up from her seat at the table and went over to hub Ron.
"'Mione, how 'bout we go up to my flat and, we'll get to know each other." Ron said slyly.
"Ron, sometimes you could have the sickest mind, but right now I'll have to agree."
With that, they Aparated back to the flat that Ron shared with Harry. They entered Ron's bedroom and shut the door.
I'll let all of your minds wander now…………………………..
