This is the last, longest and hopefully the best chapter of my story. Please comment on it by sending reviews. Thank you.

The time has come. Both Harry and Ron's feeling of excitement can never be compared before. Their eager eyes cannot wait any longer, perhaps either to visit their second home Hogwarts or to meet and spend time with their beautiful friend Hermione. And so off they went promptly from the burrow into a green muggle car. They went in promptly enough to collide with each other.

"Ouch, that hurt you know", said Harry.

"Blimey, like I didn't get hurt."

They both grinned as if they were just horsing around.

"Gees, you two, enough of that. We can't afford to waste any more time unless you want to miss the train again?" bellowed Mr. Arthur.

After hearing that, Harry and Ron behaved inside the car until they arrived at London, feasibly because of their determination to see Hermione.

"Ay, at last we're here. I'm sorry 'bout how I drove the car. 'Tis funny how we didn't get into an accident," said Arthur jokingly.

Harry, Ron and Ginny looked utterly wobbly while taking off the car.

"I can barely see your face Harry!" said Ron while smirking.

Harry on the other hand, hardly smiled since there's only one thing, perhaps someone in his mind at that moment.

"We gotta get going!" roared Ginny.

Each of them got their own cart full with their necessities for school. There they are, about five meters close to the same wall that they pass through towards the platform 9 ¾ every year. Harry said his goodbye to Mr. Weasley then he started to pull his cart as fast as he could towards the magical wall, followed by Ron then Ginny.

Hermione was already inside the Hogwarts Express, waving through the window, her straight silky hair waving through the winds too.

"She looks so lovely," whispered Ron.

"Yes, she does," murmured Harry's mind.

"If only he had known," muttered Ginny while rolling both of her greeny eyes.

To Harry, Hermione is like the new Cho Chang. He had never felt this before. Heaps of questions started to circulate in Harry's mind. What would happen if Ron finds out about this? Is this going to be the end of our friendship? How would Hermione react if I tell her everything? Will she dump me? These questions echoed inside of his brain until Hermione suddenly appeared in front of them.

Hermione jumped in excitement that she gave Harry a very tight hug. The same hug that she gives him every time he lives through either an accident or an incident.

"How are you?"

"Spectacular" said Harry whose face is starting to become as red as a tomato.

Noticing Ginny who's starting to frown, Hermione gave her a hug too. Ron on the other hand, cleared his throat like as if saying that he's on the picture too. Unfortunately for Ron, she only gave him a smile and a greeting. Unlike Harry who had a huge tight hug as an additional.

Subsequently, all four of them sat together where Harry's beside Hermione, Ron and Ginny in the opposite side. The grimace face of Ginny was so evident that Ron became suspicious of the kind of closeness of Harry and Hermione. While Hermione was laughing regarding Harry's joke, Ron interrupted and said:

"Ei, too much laugh can give us some bad air, you know."

All four of them laughed so hard that their eyes were glistening a bit.

Harry even added, "At least we now know who the ones responsible for the air pollution."

Despite the fact that Hermione continued to slap Harry's lap while giggling, both Ron and Ginny seemed to be having fun with their own jokes.

"Anything from the trolley?"

"Did you guys want some chocolate frogs?"

"Thanks Harry, but no thanks," responded Ginny.

"Oh men! I got tonsils right now."

"What about you Hermione, did you want one?"

"Sure."

"How much is it?"

"Five sickles."

"Here you go Hermione."

"Arggh," murmured Ron.

Time passed by so quickly. They're only minutes away from Hogwarts.

"We need to get change into our robes!"

"You and Harry can go ahead," said Ginny.

Ron became alert despite of his sleepy feeling. Harry and Hermione left immediately.

"Ronald, I gotta tell you something."

"What is it?"

"Did you ever notice the kind of closeness that Harry and Hermione have?"

"Yah, but I'm not as jealous as you are, Ginny. I've perceived that you are being insecure about Hermione since we got into this train."

"But still, I don't get it."

"It's simple. I trust them. You see, if they're really my friends, they won't do something I'm not aware, will they? I know Harry won't betray me, and so as Hermione."

"Hmmp!"

Harry and Hermione appeared both with their Gryffindor outfit.

"It's time for you guys to get change."

"Oh yeah," replied Ron agitatedly.

Ginny who's looking at Harry and Hermione said, "I believe that it's goodbye for me now, I'm gonna have to visit my friends at the other compartment. See yah guys."

"See yah."

And so, Harry and Hermione were left in the compartment alone. They called each other's names as though they're about to say something really important.

"You go ahead, I can wait. I can always wait," added Harry.

"This is really awkward but are you and Ron hiding something from me?" asked Hermione suspiciously.

"Us? Er, nothing of course."

"Harry-"

Out of the blue, Harry just gave Hermione her first kiss. Hermione replied back by doing the same as if showing her affection for Harry. The moment was real; Harry could not imagine that that would happen. Ron, however, came back just in time to see almost the whole thing. The sight of Ron made the line between their lips broke. To Harry, it was a disaster. His emerald eyes widen as they saw the towering boy and so as Hermione's. Ron on the other hand, just didn't dare to go inside the compartment. He went away from them in order to resist his anger. Nevertheless, Harry and Hermione did manage to catch up with Ron, who was still facing backwards from the two of them. After five seconds of silence, Ron finally came to a decision to speak up.

"How long Hermione?" asked Ron intensely.

There was a brief silence. Harry and Hermione looked at each other fearfully as though finding some right answers for the questions in a test.

"How long have you've been keeping back?" Ron asked with his eye brows raised. "You do know how I hate it when someone's fooling around me."

"Ron, you wouldn't understand" barked Harry with a gulp.

"Exactly! You said it Harry. I'm the one who always don't get things quickly am I not? I'm your foolish friend, in other words".

"Ron, please! It just happened now!"

Ron walked away from them once again after saying his last words. Harry and Hermione decided to return to the compartment to take a nap, in hope to escape from their problems with Ron.

At the other side of the world, there's Ron sitting with Dean and Luna.

"I've never thought that they would betray me like that. If you guys had known, you'd feel the same way I feel right now."

Ron chose to tell them everything, perhaps hoping that they would comfort him a bit.

"How much exactly do you love Hermione?" asked Luna?

"This much." said Ron with his arms wide open.

Luna and Dean looked at each other as if they were utterly surprised.

"You know Ron, sometimes we do have to make some sacrifices in our lives, some are petite, some are huge, but tell you what, no matter what the size of your sacrifice, the important thing's that you made a sacrifice for the ones you love."

"Think about it."

Ron began to contemplate like a businessperson deciding whether he is going to accept the deal from another businessman.

Different thoughts circled around Ron's brain.

"Am I willing to sacrifice for my love and for my own best friend? Still they betrayed me. What would happen to me? I am sure it will hurt my heart seriously if I see them happy together. Arrgh...It is obvious that Hermione likes Harry than me, even though it's hard for me to imagine, Hermione may even love Harry. What is more important?! My own happiness? I...I guess not."

"Thanks a lot guys!"

Ron didn't hesitate to go back where Harry and Hermione were and apologize for his immature behaviour a while ago.

"Harry…"

Ron had a glimpse of the two who seemed to be glued together while sleeping, both of which lying to each other's shoulders.

At that moment, Ron's feeling of jealousy lessened dramatically. He has vowed to himself that what's important is Hermione's happiness. Not too long, Harry noticed Ron's presence.

"Ron-"

"Shhhh!... It's alright now. Let her sleep. Harry, one thing, don't you ever make her cry. I'd be your first enemy if you do."

Harry and Ron grinned at each other as if nothing unusual has happened on that day.

"I'm terribly sorry about my crudeness a while ago. I didn't even let you guys explain first before I-you know. So, how was it?"

"How was what?" asked Harry bewilderedly, but his face didn't look confuse enough to convince Ron that he didn't get what he was talking about.

"As I told you earlier, it was out of the blue."
