1Chapter 7
Hermione seemed frozen in place.
"Hermione dear are you alright?" Mrs. Weasley asked her, patting her on the shoulder. Hermione looked up at her and gave her a warm smile.
"Yes Molly im fine. Do you need help with anything?" Hermione asked.
"You can help set the table with Ginny if you would please?" Mrs. Weasley said.
"Of course." Hermione said and walked outside were the they moved the big oak table for a nice dinner overlooking the sunset. Ginny was using magic to quickly set the table but stopped when she saw Hermione coming towards her.
"Mum sent you out didn't she?" Ginny asked her, putting her wand on the table.
"Yes. I thought you and Harry were trying not to use magic so much?" Hermione asked her.
"We are but there's so many plates, dishes, and cups it's just easier with magic. Don't you think?" Ginny said. Hermione grinned.
"Well yes it is easier with magic but we all have to make changes Ginny. You know that." Hermione told her. Ginny nodded her head and sighed.
"Yeah I know." Ginny said. There was a long pause of silence and Hermione decided to say something.
"Ginny what happened back in..." She started but Ginny cut her off.
"Hermione im sorry I didn't know they were going to ask you that and say those things! And yes I did agree with them but you know bloody well that you and Ron have feelings hidden deep down inside for each other." Ginny ranted. Hermione stood there and listened to her until she held up her hands in defeat.
"Alright Ginny, alright! I don't know about Ron, even if you say he does, I.. I do! Okay there I said it I do have feelings for Ron!" Hermione said and plopped down noisily in chair. Ginny took the seat next to her and took Hermiones hands in hers.
"Hermione im glad you finally told me! We all know and we've been waiting for you or Ron for some odd reason, to tell each other how you feel about one another. But as a family we all decided it would take place on its own." Ginny said.
"You all decided this? Just how much do you all talk about me and Rons situation?" Hermione said, disbelief in her voice.
"Hermione we..." Ginny started but Hermione finally had had enough. She stood up from her seat, dropping Ginnys hands and putting her own hands on her hips.
"No Ginny im not done! Listen I know you all mean well and I love you all because you are my family, but when this thing finally happens between me and Ron it will happen on its own! And until the mean time I don't want anybody or anyone giving me or Ron a hard time! Do you understand?" Hermione exploded. Ginny sat there, looking up at Hermione like she was a little girl in trouble. Ginny nodded her head.
"Yes Hermione I understand." Ginny said quietly.
"Good. Thank you. Now was that so hard? I mean really! Something will happen eventually! And if it doesn't happen then..." Hermione started ranting again, but more to herself than to Ginny.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa Hermione! What do you mean 'if it doesn't happen'? It has to happen!" Ginny now ranted heatedly. Hermione was taken aback but Ginny was a Weasley and they all had tempers.
"Ginny..." Hermione started but Ginny failed her arms wildly about.
"No Hermione! NO! You should hear all the things that I've had to hear from Ron when we were younger and even now! He tells me all time about how he can't stop thinking about, dreaming about you, and fantasizing about you!" Ginny yelled. Hermione took a quick glance at the back door but saw that it was shut. She didn't want anyone to hear Ginny yelling. But did she say Ron was fantasizing about her? Well he wasn't alone...
"He bloody fucking loves you Hermione! Can't you see that?!" Ginny continued to yell.
"What?! He loves me? And no Ginny I can't see that! He doesn't show any sign! He never has!" Hermione now yelled back. Ron loved her? Hermione thought she was the only one in this thing. She thought she was the only one in this weird relationship that loved Ron. But he loved her to. Hermiones heart skipped a beat.
"That's because all the bloody men you've gone out on dates with and that one long term boyfriend you had there for a little bit.. What was his name?" Ginny continued.
"Ryan." Hermione inquired for her.
"Yes, Ryan, thank you. But when you were with Ryan for that whole year Ron was devastated! Didn't you notice him mopping around? If he didn't show it around you and Harry he showed it around here! It was awful! We had never seen Ron like that before! Ever!" Ginny continued to yell. Hermione still couldn't believe what she was hearing. She did remember Ron mopping around when she was dating Ryan. It was all coming clear to her now. Her and Ron had a problem of showing their feelings towards one another. But it had been like that ever since they became best friends in their first year. As the years passed and they got older, more weird vibes showed. Whenever Gryffindor won a Quidditch match, when everyone was cheering and congratulating each other back in the dorms, and giving hugs to one another, whenever it came to Hermione going to give Ron a hug, it felt awkward and they just ended up smiling at each oddly and giving each other a handshake.
"Wow." Hermione said under her breath. Ginny stopped ranting and calmed down. She stared at Hermione and then a small smile came across her lips.
"Yes it is wow. Hermione.. You two were meant to be together. Can't you see that?" Ginny asked softly. Hermione looked up into Ginnys eyes, tears welling up in her own. She quietly nodded her head.
"I do now." She whispered and fell into Ginnys awaiting arms.
