As promised, my faithful readers, chapter 2 is up due to some very, very positive reviews (thank you all who reviewed, I will shower you with praise). Very short chapter, just a joining chapter between 1st and 3rd to keep you hanging on to the bitter end.

Happy reading, my friends!

Second thoughts

Ron was reeling; she agreed it was a mistake. She had said the exact word then headed back to the common room. They had crossed a line, which would probably affect their friendship and would take a turn for the worst. Nothing had been said about it since that morning and now it was 6:30.

They had avoided each other's gaze all afternoon and would spend half of their time in the dormitories because the other was in the common room. To him it hadn't been a mistake but Hermione's agreement had confirmed his doubts. It was worse than one of their arguments and both knew that it shouldn't have happened, at least that was what Ron thought.

He said it was a mistake, he actually used the words 'a mistake' and now she felt awful because to her it had felt like something she had been waiting for. Up until then she had never know that she had those kinds of feeling for him, but when it came down to it she had really wanted to be there kissing him. Feeling that he was close and being able to hear his heart beating in time with her own.

It had made her feel complete and now she had managed to scupper any chances of it ever happening again by agreeing with him. True, he had admitted it was a mistake first but now she had confirmed it and there was no way that she could make an excuse to make sure that it would happen again.

He had been avoiding her too, it was worse than the after effects of an argument. He would leave the room every time she entered it and enter it every time she left. He couldn't even bear to look her in the eye after what had happened. This had been going on for almost 9 hours straight.

6:30, time to go to the great hall for dinner. He'd have to face her at some point; she couldn't avoid meal times and classes for the next few years. She went down to the common room.

Hahahahaha... world domination is mine with the annoying endings I place in this story. You will HAVE to review to get me to add the final bit. Bearing in mind it really is a very short ending just to tie off loose ends and I'll probably put it up regardless of whether you review or not. :p
