Ever since that day, I have had my best friends by my side. Ron was there for me and I was becoming happy again. We were just about to leave class when Ron came up to me and asked,
"Hermione, I was wondering if we could talk after class. I know we both have a free block. There are a few things I want to get off my chest that we did not talk about."
I gave him a nervous look and I nodded in agreement. I have been thinking about a few things as well but I did not know what he wanted to talk about. I walked out and did not realize that I was walking into someone. I felt a solid object and almost fell. But they caught me. I looked up to be face to face with Fred. He gave me a smile and said,
"Hey Mione, head in the clouds or something?"
I gave him a smile and said,
"You could say something like that."
Fred has always walked with me to class and meals. I thought it was so sweet of him. He has been here for me since day one. He was one of my biggest supporters ever. I could have never asked for a better friend.
Right then Ron came out of the room and asked,
"Are you ready?"
I nodded and started to walk with him. Fred followed but Ron turned to him and said,
"Hermione and I have a few things to talk about alone. Don't you have something else to do?"
I turned to Fred and looked at him in his eyes. Usually now it was Fred and I time together. I love spending this time with him. It was peaceful and something special about it. We just hanged out with each other doing anything. Sometimes it would be homework or just relaxing in the head common room. Almost every one of our friends knew that this time was our time. I whispered to him,
"I will meet you at our spot in the library and I will catch you up. I will make it up to you I promise."
I then gave him a hug and Ron and I went off to somewhere to talk. We ended up in the Room of Requirement. I gave him a look and asked,
"What do you want to talk about?"
"Well, there was a lot of things that happened after the war and I don't think we ever really talked about it openly." Ron suggested.
"I do agree. There are things and I would love to hear what you think about you are thinking about." I asked.
"Well, there is the question about our feelings for each other and the kiss we had in the chamber of secrets." Ron stated.
I looked at him in surprised. I did not know what to say at first. I thought I would be the one to bring up all that. When I looked at Ron he was a different person now. I was so used to a boy that was hiding behind everyone and was nervous to show who he truly was. Now since the war she sees a confident and loyal man standing before her.
"Ron, this is surprising. You usually avoid these types of conversation. I am impressed." I told him.
He gave me a smile and then I continued,
"I want to be honest with you. The kiss we had was kind of a mistake. You and I were meant to be just friends. My feelings for you are that you are a brother to me. My best friend. "
He sighed and then said,
"Well, I am happy you were honest with me. But I think that there could be something. I am a little bit confused on my feelings for you. Ever since we were in our second year I had some sort of feelings for you. Then the kiss made me think there was something there for both of us. But now you are telling me that I am just a best friend to you. I am really confusing right now." He confessed.
I did not know what to say. I could not believe what Ron was telling me. I sighed and then Ron spoke up and said,
"I know it is a lot to take in but I need time to think. I am still going to be here for you but I need to figure out my own feelings."
I nodded and left him to his thoughts. There was nothing else to say. But now I have a lot on my mind and there was only one other person I wanted to see today. I walked to my favorite and there sat Fred. He gave me a look and I just sighed.
"What's wrong Mione?" He asked.
"I really thought everything would go back to normal. But I forgot that everyone changes when they grow up." I told him.
He gave me a confusing look and I said,
"Ron may have feelings for me that I can't return."
Fred nodded and said,
"My brother has always had feelings that he could never explain about you. But those feelings are just something that could never be explained."
I nodded in agreement. We sat there in silence and enjoyed our evening together. We walked back to the common room together. Everyone looked at us but we just ignored them. Fred was making me laugh so hard. Right then Ron came in with Harry. Ron smiled over to me and headed up to his room. Harry looked at me confused and I just sighed.
"He will come around. I promise."
I nodded to him and rested my head on his shoulder. That night I feel asleep on the couch right next to Fred.
