Chapter Two:Jealousy's Kiss

The Next Morning..

Harry was seated outside against a tree, fiddling with his wand. Ron was against another tree in front of him, eating a piece of treacle tart as he listened to a broadcast on their radio. Hermione had written out the new schedule to wear each of them would wear the locket 2 hours at a time then alternate. This was the minimum anyone could wear it, Harry and Hermione were able to withstand better. Ron was the only one to have more a problem, he had caused many arguments during the times he wore it. It was also his time currently to wear it, which he was./p

Ron sat staring at Harry as he ate, there was an obvious issue with the look Ron had on his face. Something had been wrong soon as they'd woken up.

"What's wrong, Ron?" Harry questioned.

"Oh, someone worries about me now?" He scoffed.

"Seriously? Ron of course we care about you." Hermione entered the conversation as she exited the tent.

"Really then? No one cares to ask how I am. I don't even know if my family is alive. Then I also have to watch you two have your little love moments at night."

"I'm worried about them too! It was my fault they were even in danger and What are you referring to?" Harry questioned. "What Moments?"

"Of course it's your fault, Harry. It's always your fault! You know damn well what moments, I'm talking about!" Ron yelled, getting up and making way to the tent. "Don't bother me." He added before going inside.

Harry and Hermione sighed, they both knew it was close to time for Ron to switch but not yet. Hermione sat down next to Harry and gave an smile. A silence went on for a few moments to accompany the awkward tension that Ron had left.

"About time for us to switch" She finally said to break the silence. Harry agreed.

"What moments is he even talking about though?" Harry pondered aloud.

"Most likely when you've woken up from a nightmare. When I sort of come over to you and see if you're okay. That's the only thing I guess he could take as "love" moment." She guessed a slight redness appearing in her cheeks.

"Oh..Yeah." He nodded, his cheeks were also growing red.

An hour later..

Ron came outside when it was time to switch, handing the locket to Hermione then returned inside. Even without the locket, he was obviously mad. Maybe he did believe something was going on between the two. Harry didn't see anything nor did Hermione. So what did Ron? They both had sat their talking about all the things they'd had to argue with Ron about. Most of it was small little things that just annoyed him. This was the biggest. Was he no longer able to take the fact of not knowing the fates of everyone else?

After, a few more hours had went by Hermione went inside and began to prepare lunch. They mainly were surviving on sandwiches, they went to nearby towns to get food when they ran out. They all sat down split up the way they were before. Ron was still in a mood and refused to sit with them. Harry and Hermione sat outside, they both ate while looking around lost in their thoughts. Everything had remained mostly quiet until Hermione finished. Harry looked over at her as he heard her make a noise. She had begun to randomly cry. Harry quickly finished the remainder of his food and slid closer to her.

"Whats wrong, Hermione?" He questioned, placing a hand on her shoulder and staring into her eyes.

"I..never thought I'd say this to you but.."She began wiping her eyes with her shirt. Harry tried his best to comfort her by patting her back gently.

"It's okay, Hermione. Whatever it is you can say it."

"When Ron and I weren't talking last year..and you stuck around with me, I started to think then what you mean to me.." She continued, her sobs not more controlled. "And..I never stopped. I discovered that..I have these feelings for you, Harry. " This took Harry by surprise, so much that he froze in place.

"Oh, Really?" Ron stated from the Tent's entrance. He was obviously burning with anger.

"R-Ron." Hermione sobbed, now speaking with a stutter. "I-I'm Sorry."

Ron didn't answer back, he went back inside and quickly returned with his things. He angrily started making his way down away from them.

"Where are you going?!" Harry yelled, jumping back to life.

"Wherever I'm away from you two."

With that said, Ron apparated.

AN: Hey guys, hope you enjoyed this chapter. Of course those of you who've read my other stories could see this connection between Harry and Hermione coming. Tell me what you guys think so far, I'd love the feedback! Is Ron gone for good? How will the two deal with Hermione's confession? Chapter three should be done up tomorrow. Still gotta write it. If I get time it should be up! If not expect it sometime later this week or early next week. Thanks :)
