Silent Suffering Chapter 1

Harry's P.O.V.

I like her. Hell, I love her, but she'll never know. She can't know. If she found out, our friendship would be over. She'd hate me, never speak to me again, and probably marry Ron eventually. Everyone thinks they're meant to be anyways.

Yes, she'd marry Ron, and I'll end up marrying Ginny. I would love her, but I'd never truly be able to give my heart, wholly, to her. It will always belong to Hermione. It always has, I've just been too dumb to realize it.

Hermione. I could go on about her all day long. I notice all the little things about her. The way she scrunches up her nose when she's thinking really hard about something, or how she chews the end of her quill when she's nervous. She always smells like parchment, fresh ink, and a small fresh scent I can never figure out, but it's there all the same.

I wonder is she knows that I stare at her. Probably does, she's not the brightest witch of her age for nothing after all.

She cries a lot more lately. Three guesses who causes it. That's right, Ron. They fight all the time but she stays with him, because he's the only one to ever show any real interest in her. It saddens me that she thinks that's the best she can do. If she only knew how I felt. But she can't, ever. It would ruin everything we share. More silent suffering for me, but she'll never know. Never know at all. Better put on a happy face here comes Hermione now. If only she knew.

A/N: Hey everyone you've now read chapter one of the first in the series of Silent Suffering. Now go and REVIEW! I'm sorry it's short and if the grammar is shotty, but it's a plot bunny, wouldn't go away and i wrote this in about five minutes. Seriously I love SpellCheck!
