Ron and Hermione : Bickering since 1991

Chapter 21 : Do you?

[Hermione]

Currently we are sitting in the Leaky Cauldron. Everyone's laughing and enjoying. I would be too, of course I am happy to see them all after so many days but right now, my mind is at Ron. He hasn't said a word since we left the platform. Something is definitely wrong. I am worried. If only I could get ten minutes alone with him. But I guess if we have made it so long, a few more minutes wouldn't hurt, right? I am looking at him but he's just looking straight forward. His face blank. Sometimes he looks at me and gives me a small, insincere smile. What is happening?

"So how do you feel after graduating?"

I slowly look away from Ron, to see Harry.

"Hey. Yeah it feels nice. Although, I missed you and Ron so much."

"You missed me?" Harry asked in surprise.

"Yeah?"

"I thought you only missed Ron."

"What makes you say that?"

"I saw the lettters you sent. You wrote you missed Ron and not me."

I gasped.

"Ron?"

"Yes?" He finally asked, finally he looked at me.

"You showed Harry my letters?"

He schrunched his face in confusion. No, please Ron, don't do that, I want to kiss you.

"No I didn't."

"Relax, Hermione. I was just joking."

"Very funny," I said sarcastcally.

"Wait, you mean you really mentioned only Ron and not me?"

"No, I didn't meant that."

"Stop harrasing her," Ginny interrupted Harry, "she has just graduated. We have been studying so much."

"I know babe," he said, pecking her on the lips.

And then I look at Ron, and he was looking at me.

After what seems like hours, but in reality was 45 minutes, the diner is over. Me, Ron, Harry and Ginny have decided to stay the night, while all the others are going back. Finally me and Ron enter our room, after we freshen up, I decide to talk to him.

"Hey," I say going and standing in front of him and lening at his chest, looking up at him, cause he so tall, and his arms wrapped around me.

"Hey," he replies with a smile, which dosen't quite reach his eyes.

"Ron, are you okay?"

"Yeah, you are here. What elese do I need?" He says chuckling.

I see what he's trying to do. He is trying to cover up himself, he is trying to show that he is happy but how could he when he is not.

"What's wrong?"

"What?"

"I asked what's wrong."

"Nothing's wrong."

"Ron..."

"What?"

"You know you can't lie to me."

"I am not lying," he says defensively.

"Lie," I state, with a smug look.

He lets out a sigh.

"Promise not to get mad and answer me honestly."

"Okay."

"Do you love me?"

Is this all not enogh to prove him how much I love him? Nevertheless.

"Yes."

"Do you think you can forgive me for a mistake?"

I don't like the sound of where this is going.
