(Hello everyone! I hope you all are enjoying my story. I think this is my favorite story by far and I think I will make a series out of it. As you all probably can tell, I love the couple Fred and Draco. I think it's just the cutest thing. I just wanted to say thank you to all those who are reading and I hope you are enjoying the story so far. R&R!)
We all went back to the Gryffindor common room, Draco included. Once we were all inside, I walked over and laid Harry down on the couch, sitting in the space that was left over. Hermione sat down on the floor between my legs, George to her left, Colin sitting on George's right. I found myself rolling my eyes slightly. Colin honestly needed to man up and tell George he has a crush on him.'Okay, I guess I have no place to talk.' I thought as I looked down at Harry. Neville, Dean and Sheamus brought over some chairs and Fred and Draco took the small couch under the window.
We all made small talk as we watched the fire. I had this weird feeling of being watched. I looked around and my eyes locked with..Draco's? I raised my eyebrow at him in slight questioning. He just continued to stare at me. I shrugged my shoulder and looked back towards Colin and George. 'Well that was quick.' I thought when I saw them holding hands, Colin's head resting on my brothers shoulder.
"Ron, how long have you known you loved Harry?", Draco said loudly. Hermione is lucky I didn't have a mouth full of a something, or her head would be soaking wet. Everyone turned their eyes on me, eyes wide. I darted my eyes around the room, trying to find an escape. I wasn't ready for this!
When I realized I was cornered, I slumped my shoulders in defeat. I looked around at all my friends, trying to form the words. I looked down at Harry, making sure he was truly asleep. Once I confirmed he was out, I looked back up. "I guess realized I loved him more than a friend a few weeks ago when Hermione told me he was in love with me. That day I thought long and hard, trying to figure out if I could love him the way he loves me. And over these few weeks, I have decided yes. I can love him, and I am slowly falling for him." I said loudly as I looked down at Harry once more.
A loud squeal erupted and before I could react, Hermione was on top of me, squeezing me like a vice. "Mione. you're strangling me!", I grunted, but I couldn't help the small grin that appeared.
"I always knew you two would get together one day! Wait, you are going to ask him out right?" She said, looking up at me. I rubbed the back of my neck nervously. "I really want to, I just don't know how." I said honestly. I felt my face burning, so I knew I had to be the color of my hair at the moment.
Before Hermione could respond, we heard an outraged shriek from the entrance. All our heads snapped back to find the source of the deafening sound.
Lavender.
She was standing in the entrance with Ginny, her hands clenched at her sides. "You.. You dumped me for him?!", She yelled as she stomped up to me.
Okay, that's it.
I gently moved Hermione off my lap and stood. Lavender stared up at me, anger burning in her eyes. "Yes Lavender, I did dump you for Harry.", I heard a small gasp from behind me. "Ron!", I heard Hermione say. "No Hermione, I am sick of Lavender acting this way. I did break up with you because of Harry. I wasn't going to stay with someone who made me hurt the first friend I ever made. And because of you, I realized I loved Harry, so I guess I can thank you for that. Over these two weeks, I have come to realize just how special he is to me, how much I honestly do love him. And I'm not going to leave him for anything, and soon, I will work up the courage to ask him on a date." I said, looking her right in the eyes.
Her face turned bright red, and at the moment, she looked like she could tear me or Harry limb from limb. Ginny stood next to Lavender, glaring at me. She opened her mouth to say something, but I cut her off. "No Ginny, I don't care what you have to say. You only love Harry because of his name. You only love his fame, I love him for his heart. I love him for who he is, not for what he can give me." I told her. She looked furious, clenching her fist like Lavender.
I turned back to the couch, only to stop dead in my tracks.
Harry sat there, his wide eyes staring at me, shock written all over his face. I felt as though as my face was on fire as we just stood there staring at one another.
He stood slowly and walked up to me, looking up at me. I stared down at him, nervously rubbing my neck. We kinda just stared at each other for a few minutes till he finally spoke up.
"Ron.. Did you mean all of that? You really love me?", He asked in a small voice. I could see a flicker of hope and fear in his eyes as his eyes searched mine.
"Yes Harry, I meant every word I said. And I do love you Harry." I said honestly.
Again we just stared at each other, both of us having a blush spreading across our cheeks.
"You have no idea how long I've been waiting to hear you say that." He breathed before gripping the back of my neck and pulling me down, pressing his lips to mine. I froze for a short moment, my eyes widening slightly. When I snapped out of it, I happily kissed back, wrapping my arms around his waist.
I could hear our friends cheering, whistling and whooping, trying to embarrass us. But I didn't care, all I cared about was the small boy in my arms.
