Romione Love Story Chapter 7 - Diya K. M.

(Ron's point of view)

Two days later, I was walking in the corridor. It seemed like nothing could dampen my mood! All because Hermione kissed my cheek.

Man! Her lips are even softer than I thought. I can't help but wonder if that means anything. I mean, does it mean something when the girl you're madly in love with kisses you on the cheek? It has to count for something. . .right?

When I reached the entrance of the Gryffindor Common Room, the Fat Lady smiled at me. "Oh well, if it isn't the Weasley king himself?"

"I knew it! See, people do call me that!"

She just blinked to me before widening her smile. "So, has little Miss Granger told you yet?"

"Told me what"? I asked her.

"Oops! Never mind! Password?"

I said the password and entered the common room.

"Hey, Won-Won" A beaming Lavender said to me, still clutching my arms.

"Its Ron, and can you let go of me." I said, looking at her firm grip on my arm.

She giggled and let go of me. "I JUST KNEW YOU'D MAKE THE TEAM! I WAS CHEERING FOR YOU THE WHOLE TIME" Lavender practically shouted. I forced myself not to cover my ears.

"Great", I said. Lavender came closer to me.

I took a step back when I felt uncomfortable.

"Are you and Granger a thing now?" Lavender blurted.

"Excuse me? Why would you think that?"

"She kissed you on the cheek."

"No. . .no, it doesn't mean anything."

"Then why did she kiss you?"

"I don't know. She just did. Look Lavender, whatever you are thinking isn't true. Hermione and I are only friends, and we will be only friends forever".

'That's right, Hermione only sees me as a friend, more like sibling. She will never love me.'

My heart broke a little.

"Good," lavender clapped her hand and said,"are you excited for the upcoming match?"

I didn't respond, but instead I just headed up the stairs, leaving a confused lavender behind...
