It's been a good couple of weeks since Harry and I first got back together. I honestly feel as if we never broke up. I never stopped loving him.
"Hermione, do you think maybe one day you could be married?" Ron asked me.

"Of course." I answered truthfully.

"Do you think that guy would be Harry?"

I smiled down at my lap, "I do. I think if things go as planned and everything seems well...we will be married."

"He better make me his best man!" He teased.

"Ronald?" I asked him, "Do you think...Ginny likes Harry?"

Ron shrugged, "She doesn't talk to me too much after I left home. She seemed upset with me when I did."

"Oh." I sighed.

"But hey, don't worry about it. He loves you, not her." He assured me.

"You're right." I nodded, "I'm over thinking it."

As I walked down the hallway, I couldn't help but notice a few people staring at me.
Why are they staring at me?
That's when I saw a student reading the Daily Prophet.

THE BOY WHO LIVED AND HERMIONE GRANGER AN ITEM?

That Rita Skeeter is something else.
Harry and I have kept it quiet because we didn't want anything to ruin what we have. Obviously we didn't do a very good job. Someone had to have told.

"Mione, have you seen the-"
Harry came beside me and realized I had already seen the paper.
"Oh, well it looks like you know."

I nodded and picked up a copy for myself, "She has the picture of us from our fourth year."

Harry and I were having a conversation in the tent of the Triwizard Tournament. It was our fourth year at Hogwarts and Harry's name had been put into the goblet of fire purposely.

"Pst! Harry!" I whispered outside of the tent.

"Hermione?" Harry whispered back.

The thin cloth of the tent was the only thing keeping us apart.
"How are you feeling? Okay?"

Harry didn't speak.

"You're going to be okay. I gave you those books on dragons." I said, then tears came to my eyes. I know how nervous he is.
"Oh Harry!"
I couldn't help it, I leapt into the tent and practically jumped on him, hugging him tightly.

Harry and I jumped apart to find Rita Skeeter, taking a picture of us.
"Oh! Young love! You two will be making the front page!"

"You have no business here." Viktor told her, coming towards us.

Rita just flicked her hair and waltzed out the door.
When I looked to Viktor, he gave me a wink, which honesty made me melt!

"Okay victors! Gather around!" Dumbledore said as he walked into the tent, "You're moment has arrived!" He looked to the faces surrounding him, including mine. "What are you doing here Miss Granger?" He asked.

"Oh...I'm sorry, I'll go." I said nervously, then gave Harry a sympathetic look before leaving.

"Harry Potter and Hermione Granger have been on and off for years now?" I read, "This is rubbish. I didn't even know about my feelings toward you back then!"

"You didn't?" Harry asked, cocking an eyebrow.

"Well...no not exactly." I admitted, "That's beside the point, the point is, everyone knows now."

"Maybe that's not such a bad thing." Harry smiled and wrapped his arms around me, "Sure, we were waiting to tell people, but now everyone knows you're mine."

"Oh well...I suppose so." I replied, setting the paper down, "I love you. That's all that matters."

"And I love you."
Harry pulled me into a hug and then pecked my lips, "Come on, let's get going. There's a crowd forming." He chuckled.
