YAY!!! There is my fast update. I wanted to write the next chapter first. Enjoy.
"That is so corny, Harry!" Ginny giggled, taking Harry's hand and falling into his arms, where he held her, and would hold her forever if he could. They kissed one last time, and headed up to their rooms, smiling the whole way up.
Oh! Darling
Harry crept into his room, trying very hard not to wake the sleeping Ron or Dean. He was pretty sure that telling them what happened in the common room would be a cause for a "disturbance." He quietly opened his trunk, got his pajamas, and went to bed.
Hermione woke up for the first time in four days with a dry pillow. Ron and Lavender had been going out for four days, Ginny and Dean had broken up, and for some reason not only was Harry practicing quidditch with Ginny a lot, but Ginny was also turning down ever offer that came her way. Neville, however, had told Luna about Hermione's problem, after asking. Luna had been great comfort to Hermione.
"I don't have to see Ron at all today," Hermione realized while she was picking out a shirt to wear with her jeans. Even though her robes had to over her ensemble of dark-wash jeans, light-purple tank top, sea-green shrug, and silver, but not shiny flats, during class, she could show off her fashion sense after after-noon classes.
"I am in control of my life," said Hermione to herself, looking at her image in the mirror. Breathing deep, Hermione grabbed her robes, and pulled them over her head.
"I like your shoes, Hermione."
"Thanks, Lavender," said Hermione walking out of the room.
"Who would ever wear shoes like that?"
"Oh, I know. They are so ugly!"
"Totally, if you want to get a guys attention, you HAVE to wear heals. Otherwise they just literally, look over you!" Hermione heard loud laughs coming from her room, and ran down to the common room. She met up with Ginny and Harry, and they all walked to breakfast together. It was uncomfortably quiet.
"So, Harry. What have you and Ginny been working on for the past few days at the quidditch pitch?" Harry glanced at Ginny, trying to ask his girlfriend to cover the question so he wouldn't have to tell Hermione.
"Oh, Harry has been helping me with my quaffle handling," Ginny lied with a smile that said I-hope-she-buys-that.
"Hey! You guys left me in the common room!" It was Ron. He had run up behind the three before Hermione could respond. "Hermione, do you think you could help me with this essay that Slughorn assigned?"
"Ron, we got the assignment weeks ago. Are you telling me you haven't started?"
"What happens to me if I say yes?" Hermione rolled her eyes. She had completely forgotten about Lavender, until…
"Hello my sweet," Lavender said, seemingly appearing out of nowhere, and kissing Ron on the cheek.
"I got to go," Hermione said, running quickly away from the group. Ron turned to where she had been, and started walking after her.
"Not now, Lavender!" Ron screamed, yanking Lavender off his arm, and leaving her on the staircase, alone.
Ron followed Hermione all the way to the library. He saw her sit down in a corner with a comfy chair, curl-up in the chair, and sob. Ron walked up to her and touched her bushy hair. Hermione turned away, like a little kid who was trying to avoid their parents. Ron pushed the hair out of her face and put his hand on Hermione's cheek. He ran his hand down to her chin, and lifted her chin just enough so that he could see her hazel eyes, now shot with green.
"Hermione, are you alright?" Hermione sneered and Ron, and jerked her head away from him. "Alright, I know that you are not alright. What is wrong? I am completely clueless."
Hermione looked where Ron's hand was lightly rubbing her arm. She smiled just a little bit, although tear still flowed out of her eyes. The comfy chair had expanded itself so there was room for both Ron and Hermione. Ron moved up next to Hermione, putting his other hand on her shoulder.
(A/N: The song is Oh! Darling, by the Beatles. If you don't get my theme, I put the song title in the chapter title.)
Oh! Darling, please believe me
I'll never do you no harm
Believe me when I tell you
I'll never do you no harm
Oh! Darling, if you leave me
I'll never make it alone
Believe me when I beg you
Don't ever leave me alone
When you told me you didn't need me anymore
Well you know I nearly broke down and cried
When you told me you didn't need me anymore
Well you know I nearly broke down and died
Oh! Darling, if you leave me
I'll never make it alone
Believe me when I tell you
I'll never do you no harm
When you told me you didn't need me anymore
Well you know I nearly broke down and cried
When you told me you didn't need me anymore
Well you know I nearly broke down and died
Oh! Darling, please believe me
I'll never let you down
Believe me when I tell you
I'll never do you no harm
"Hermione, I have never been one with words, but I love you."
"I love you too, Ron," Hermione smiled and turned towards the big strong man, whom she loved more then anything. She reached her arms around him, and let him kiss her. He brushed his mouth against hers. He pulled her closer to him and moved his head to her shoulder.
He kissed her on the neck, and whispered in her ear, "I'm sorry for every time I made you cry. For ever time I never said sorry, and for every time I couldn't do this because I was scared."
Hermione smiled, and let her love hold her.
There, it is now all how it is meant to be. R/H, H/G, and L/N. Reveiw, tell me what you think.
