I dont know why that day was any different but it was! We were sitting in class thinking about what harry had just said to us, but it couldnt be true Sirius out to get harry but why? Well when I heard this news I became frightened as always (well as Ron says) and I dont know what came over me but I just did it without thinking! I grabbed Rons hand and held it tight. You should have seen the look on Rons face I didnt know if he was happy or terrified but for some reason he held it tighter, and told me that it was all right. I just knew right then and there that I was seeing clearly for the first time in my life. Rons not just a friend I thought to my self he a lot more than that and I always knew that he was I just never saw him the right way before now. Of course I told no one how I felt but that didnt matter the feeling was still there. It seemed that every day the feelings I had for him just grew I didnt know what to do should I tell him? No, I couldnt if I did then what would I do if he didnt feel the same? I dont think that I could take that kind of disappointment! But the days went by and I still felt the same and I started to act differently as well and it seems that it showed because, although I didnt notice it. I would sit and stare at Ron in class and when he would catch me at it he never said anything he would just smile and look away. Sometimes I would think to myself, what if he knew could he tell what im thinking when I look at him that way, or is he just being polite? As it happened I would soon find out, because one day harry and Ron were talking, I guess I was reading as always and hadnt noticed, harry told Ron that I had been acting funny and wonder if he had noticed anything? Ron then proceeded to tell harry about the way I had been looking at him and then to Rons surprise harry butted in and said you know what Ron I think she likes you and Ron told harry " duh she likes me where friends" " no you idiot I mean she likes you likes you!" " oh, really?" "yeah! You should ask her to come talk with you to night you can use my invisibility cloak and take her to the lake and find out if im right, which I know I am!" "Yeah all right" and so it happened I was so surprised when Ron came to me and said, "hey Hermione I know you dont like to sneak out of school but I was wondering if you would come to the lake with me tonight to talk. Harry said that we could use his invisibility cloak?" I didnt even hesitate which, I think made Ron think that Harry was right. That night I waited in the common room for Ron to come down after everyone was gone, I never even went up stairs I was much too excited to know what Ron wanted to talk about. Finally at about one o'clock in the morning we left together and because we where under the cloak we had to be very close but Ron seemed closer than ever before! We got to the lake in a few minutes and sat down by the water, I asked Ron, " what did you want to talk about?" but he couldnt answer he was just looking at me like he lost all ability to speak. And then he said " oh Na . . . nothing sp . . . special just to ta . . . ta . . . talk about anything I guess!" " oh ok but then why did we have to come all the way out here to talk about anything?" " well I wanted to be alone with you." " Oh well ok then?" " im sorry Hermione I just cant Remember what I wanted to say." " Well that all right." I stood up then and walked over to the lake and as I had hoped he followed and that when I thought nothing strikes up a conversation better than fun so as soon as he got close enough I pushed him in the lake but acted as if it was an accident. " Im so sorry I said here let me help you." I put out my hand to help him out but as I did I think he realized that I had done in on purpose because he grabbed my hand and pulled me in after. " Ha, he said, " see how you like it." I just laughed at him and splashed some water at him. We began to fight to see who could dunk the other first and that when it happened he grabbed me by the waist to dunk me again but never got the chance because when he grabbed hold of me our eyes met and there was just no turning back! We just got closer and closer till he had his arms raped around me. He was looking in my eyes and then it happened, he kissed me. He kissed me so hard and so soft that I went limp, it was the best kiss that I had ever had, because it was my first kiss. We kissed for a long time and then it stopped. He looked at me for a second like he could not believe what he had just done then he swam away and got out of the water. I was so sad, but I swam after him. He was already heading back but I called to him and told him to stop, and as he turned around I ran to him and just said one simple word the only one that would come out. " Why?" I looked as if I were going to cry and so he spoke, " I think that im in love with you Hermione." My heart was beating so fast I didnt know what to do so I threw my arms around him and I cried I dont know why I cried but I did. Ron looked at me then wiped the tears from my eyes and said, " why are you crying?" I then gave a little laugh and said, " im crying because sense that time you held my hand and told me it was all right I have loved you and I didnt know how to tell you." He smiled like I had never seen him smile before ten he held me close once more and kissed me again, then he said, " I dont think I love you, I know I love you!"
