"Neither of you." Hermione said, looking at Cormac, then at Draco.

"What?" they said in unison.

"I don't love either of you. Even if I did, I would've reconsidered it after what happened here tonight."

"Who do you love then?" Cormac asked.

Hermione's eyes flickered to something behind them, but only for a second. They turned around and saw Ron standing there, staring at Hermione.

"Weasley? Honestly, Hermione, I thought you would've at least went for Potter." Draco said.

Hermione stayed silent.

"Me?" Ron said, looking at her in disbelief.

She took his look as an expression of disgust. Tears filled her eyes. She turned, ran past students who had been staring at the four, and out of the Great Hall.

"Hermione wait!" Ron yelled, running after her.

When he entered the entrance hall, the only people in sight was a couple snogging in a corner.

"If I were Hermione, where would I hide?" Ron whispered to himself.

He thought for a moment, then it hit him. He ran up the stairs and through the corridors until he reached the library. He quietly entered the room, looking carefully around the room. Hermione was sitting at the back of the room, looking at a book, but her eyes weren't moving and tears splashed onto the pages of the book.

Ron approached her carefully. "Mione?" he said cautiously.

She quickly wiped her face with the back of her hands, but continued to stare at the book.

"So...you like me huh?" he said awkwardly, sitting down next to her.

She looked up from her book and glared at him. "No, Ron. I just made it up to get Cormac and Malfoy off my back, and it didn't matter that I said it in front of the whole school." she said sarcastically.

"I'll take that as a yes." he said, moving a little closer to her.

"Why'd you come after me in the first place?" she asked coldly, angrily flipping the page of her book.

He reached out and grabbed her hand. "Maybe because I like you too."

She looked up at him. "This isn't something you joke about, Weasley."

"Who said I was joking?" he leaned in and kissed her, softly and gently.

When they pulled away, Hermione looked at him. "So what does this make us?"

He squeezed her hand. "Boyfriend and girlfriend?" he asked.

She stared at him for another moment, then smiled.

"Boyfriend and girlfriend it is." she said, then leaned in for another kiss.
