A/N: Okay! I want to thank you guys so much, in only 9 hours, this fic got 7 followers and 3 favorites! 9 HOURS! That's crazy, so I jumped into writing this chapter the moment I woke up. I hope you enjoy.
Ron ran from the great hall as fast as he could. Forget food! What if something happens and Hermione finds out!
Finally Ron reached the common room, plopping down on the common room couch. He wasn't surprised when Harry walked in and sat next to him.
"What?" Ron asked sulkily.
"Why did you run out?" Harry said punching him in the arm slightly.
"You know very well that I ran out because Hermione will find out that I'm in love with her." Ron gaped at his own openness to tell Harry. Harry knew that Ron liked Hermione, ever since second year, but never had anyone said anything about love.
A light bulb went off in Harry's head. He could ask him anything he wanted.
"So why did you storm off last night."
"Because Hermione hugs you, and smiles at you, and talks to you, and helps you. It's obvious you two will end up together and leave me in the dirt because she could never love me." Ron said as if it was nothing but his hands flew to his mouth and his eyes were wide as saucers once he had completed his confession. A force in his body bought his hands back to his sides no matter how much he fought it. "The hero always gets the girl." Ron added.
Harry made a gagging noise. "Ron. Don't be cliché. I think of Hermione PURELY as a sister. If you don't believe me I'll drink some of that stuff myself!" Harry said, chuckling.
"But what about Hermione? Then both me and Hermione will end up heartbroken because she wants you. And I want her. After you reject her and she rejects me, then we will both be unbearably miserable… But the difference is, Hermione could get anyone. And, I can get no one." Ron said, finally accepting that he will have to confess to everything either way.
"So what are you going to do…?" Harry asked after a few minutes.
"I'm going to avoid Hermione at all costs. She can't know or else she'll never talk to me again."
"What?" A feminine voice said from beside them…
Ron turned to see Hermione, standing there with her books in hand and a sad/shocked face embedded in her features.
"I said I am going to avoid you at all costs because if you knew you would never talk to me again." Ron smacked himself in the forehead after yet another confession.
"If I knew what?" She asked, now angry too, walking over and sitting between him and Harry. Leaving Hermione and Ron extremely close.
"That I'm head over heels in love with you." Ron said. Smacking himself even harder that time. "I'm sorry. I know you probably like Harry and that you find me repulsive. It's okay if you hate me now, I understand. Just I really hope you will still talk to me and that we can still be fri-" Ron's spilling of his heart was broken off by Hermione putting her index finger to his lips.
"This feels nice." He sighed after a few seconds of her holding her finger to his mouth. He mentally kicked himself wincing at his own stupidity. "Sorry."
"Ronald stop apologizing."
"But I want you to still be my friend and if I'm not sorry then I'm not sure how much you would want that." Ron rambled on, mumbling all of it behind her still placed finger.
"Ron. I will always be your friend." She said smiling but not moving her finger. He grinned back at her.
"And by the way, I'm not okay with you dating Harry because he doesn't love you like I do and you need someone better." "Ugh I'm sorry I can't control what I say or do…" Hermione chuckled.
"Ron. I don't have feelings for Harry, never have." She said grinning.
"I don't believe you." "MERLIN! I'm sorry I never realized how much I used to lie…"
Hermione just chuckled again and used the hand that wasn't attached to Ron's lips to grab the chalice with veritaserum. She took a drink, and turned to him smiling.
"Ronald Weasley. I do not love Harry. Is this proof enough?" She said smiling wider and giggling. He smiled too and nodded.
"I should probably go. I don't want to because your finger on my mouth feels amazing but I should."
"No, don't."
"Why? Aren't I making you uncomfortable?"
"No Ron, not at all." She said taking her finger down. Ron's face sunk but it wasn't long before Hermione jumped full blown ONTO him with a hug. Ron didn't hesitate to wrap his arms around her waist and squeeze her closer.
"Why didn't you just run away from me?" Ron asked not really even noticing he had said anything.
"Because I love you." Hermione said from over his shoulder, they were halfway lying down on the couch from the force of Hermione's hug, and her face was in a cushion, but he heard her loud and clear.
"Really?" Ron said lifting her and looking into her eyes. He had a big goofy grin plastered on his face.
"You act like I can lie." She said giggling. Ron didn't mean to, but his body took this as enough and lowered her chest to his and kissed her. Ron nearly had a full blown heart attack when she kissed him back.
Slowly but surely the kiss became more and more passionate. Ron had even flipped over to where he was kissing her from the top. He could feel her smile against the kiss for a while, until finally she broke their lips apart.
Ron slowly opened his eyes to see Hermione smiling up at him. He smiled back.
"Did I ever tell you how much I love your hair?" He said still running his hands through it from while they were kissing. "Sorry that was creepy."
"No it wasn't… Tell me more."
"Oh really? Well I drown every time you smile at me." He said and smiled when hers widened. "Just like that." He said pecking a kiss on her nose before continuing. "And I know it sounds cliché but I get lost in your eyes every time you look into mine." Hermione's smiled widened and she tried to hide it by biting the left side of her bottom lip.
"Ooohhh. That too." He said staring at her mouth. "When you bite your lip it feels like I lose all function of my body." He stared at her for a minute. "Can I kiss you again?" He asked. Mentally kicking himself afterwards. But he was glad to see she didn't think it was creepy by the fact that she moved her face up and closed the distance between their lips.
Ron flipped over once again and ran his fingers through her hair just like he had always wanted to do. Ron heard some sort of noise coming from the stairs but he honestly didn't care. Hermione, however, did. She broke the kiss and looked at the stairs to see a chuckling Ginny and Harry.
Today was going to be a long day.
A/N: The end! I thought about splitting this chapter into two but I didn't. Either way I hope you liked it! And I hope your beautiful faces have a great day!
