Authors note: I do not own any characters created by J.K. Rowling. Full credit goes to her for all situations and information mentioned in any of the 7 books or interviews, etc. as well. However, the storyline of this fanfic is all me and the little voice in my head – and thus, of course, not to be copied by anybody else – that would be stealing my creativity, my ideas – and not very nice

"Hermione"
At first, I thought I'd misunderstood.
That I just wanted him to say my name so badly that, on some bizarre level, I made myself believe he had actually said it.
But then I saw Lavender's reaction.
And I knew that it really was really true.
He'd said my name.
And I knew that he was probably just dreaming, or some random thought that popped in to his feverish mind.
But still.
He 'd just said my name.
Not the name of his girlfriend.
Not the name of some hidden crush.
But mine.
And I knew that it wasn't something to be happy about.
He was poisoned, for crying out loud, and he may have just ruined his first ever relationship.
But still.
He'd said my name.
And suddenly, I didn't mind him snogging her all over the castle anymore.
And I didn't really care that he'd ditched me for the christmas party anymore.
And I was over him going out with someone that wasn't me.
Or.
Well.
Almost over that last one.
But still.
I wouldn't hold it against him anymore.
I thought.
Because he would be alive for me to do so.
And that on itself.
Well...
That was enough for me right now.
Oh, we would probably still have a fight over something silly every other day.
And we'd most likely never see eye to eye when it came to how much, and when, and how he should or would or could study.
But he would be alive for all those things to occur.
And I'd just almost lost him.
So I really, truly, couldn't think of anything better to happen right now.
I was actually looking forward to fighting with him again?
It must really be love.
Wait -
Love?
Well...
I guess it really was...
After all: he hàd just said -
"Hermione"
Not really a lot to say on this one, I just always pictured this as 'the' moment for Hermione where she realised that it really was Ron for her... And with that being said: please let me know what you thought, you know the trick! :)
Greetings!
