Hermione had stayed quiet about her feelings for Ron, and now she had to pay the price.
For as long as she could remember, Hermione had been silent about her growing crush on the red head. She would wipe the blushes and smiles off her face, resist her urge to smother him, and suppress her love for him.
She had never spoken up, so he had never known. She had never spoken up, so someone else had taken him.
She couldn't really blame them; after all, she had never said anything. So now, she had to hold down her brewing jealousy as she watched Ron and Lavender snogging in front of everybody in the common room.
Yes, she would stay quiet about this too. Hermione would forever remain quiet, keeping her feelings all to herself, and waiting for the right moment and right person to tell them to.
A/N: One-sided love from Hermione. Tragic, isn't it? (What the eff are you doing Ron-)
