hermione stared at me in disbelief. her mind was probably thinking about the most absurd things. what was i thinking? i regret every word from the look on her face. her eyes were low and she looks perplexed.
i know we were talking about how ginny was going to take revenge on the both of us, but my words took action immediately. she was waiting for my explanation. however, theres really nothing to say. i like her, i love her. thats the explanation.
"i know ginnys trouble to the both of us," i said. "but.. i like you."
she was still thinking about it. theres not much to think of, though. my feelings are clear and i bear no ill will to her.
"i cant stay away from you any longer, hermione. my body cant and wont do that. a threat wont stop me from pursuing you. we'll figure this out together, you and i. its hard for me to lose you, hermione! its hard-"
"its hard for me too!" she shouted. at that moment, tears started to pour out from her eyes. she looked down, trying to contain them. "its hard having to choose your own best friend and the person you like. when you told me that ginny is in love with you, that was the moment i felt like i had really betrayed her and myself, because i cant stop my feelings for you!"
the aura of the room felt good. she had confessed brutally. sometimes, brutal is good. she wiped her tears using my blanket.
"i should be in class right now, but no! im in here! thats how much i love you, harry. i cant lose you," she said before taking a breath. "but i dont want to lose my best friend either."
"you arent losing anyone, hermione. please, just trust me. we can figure this out together. ginnys just a normal human being, she cant be such a threat to our relationship," i explained. "love is different. love is a shield. i love you, hermione. im glad we feel the same way for each other."
"i love you," she said, smiling to me, throwing her arms to mine. "we have to talk to ginny because i cant handle not communicating with you. maybe i should talk-"
"you cant be the one to talk to her, alright?"
"im her best friend, she'll understand me."
looking deep inside her eyes, i felt the knot form inside my stomach. i smiled as the butterflies surrounded the knot, as she stared back into my own galaxy eyes.
"you better come back to classes later," she teased.
"mhm, maybe i will," i chuckled. "quidditch practice is tomorrow. wanna come?"
"sure! why not? ill wish you the best of luck," she replied. she gave me a small kiss before leaving to get to our next class. i promised id be there, though.
but before she went out of the door, i asked her an important question. the familiar words struck me, "hermione, wont you consider my offer?"
"your offer?" she tittered.
"to be my girlfriend?"
"ive been considering it even back then," she smirked.
i laughed, getting the assurance i needed from her. she was my girlfriend! not my fuck buddy! girlfriend! i know its a bit too fast, but we both feel the same way. i dont care what people think! i want them to understand that this is just me loving and admiring.
a few minutes later, i got out of the dorm room all dressed. i was neat and ready to go back to classes, when suddenly i bumped into malfoy in the hall, sitting down at the third step on the staircase, while juniors pass by the poor blonde headed boy. he was supposed to be in classes right now. i asked him why he was out. he told me that he and pansy had broken up. i knew it was because of me. i decided not to think of it anymore, because i wasnt supposed to feel bad. he was a lying cheater! i knew they wouldnt last for at least a year! a two month relationship is so pathetic.
coming in to class, i sat beside hermione. luckily, the professor wasnt there yet. all eyes were on me, but i only stared deep into hermiones eyes. she had asked me if it was okay for me to get back to our classes. what she says, i do. im like a magnet, and shes some kind of metal.
honestly, im fine with anything as long as shes there with me to do it.
even with ginny around, i dont want to hide my feelings anymore. its the first time ive ever tried to fall in love.
