A Hand To Hold (1)

Part 31

The next morning.....

I walked downstairs from my room to see most of them had already started eating.

"Hey Hermione" Ginny says smiling

I took a seat right next to her and she began telling me about this dream she had last night. Just then Harry and Ron walked in and took a seat across from us. I looked towards Harry and he and Ron were apparently laughing at something.

Just then Mr.Weasley walks in with a huge box.

"This just arrived for Harry" He says dropping the book on the counter causing me to jump at the sound

"What did you get Harry?" Ron asks stuffing his face with pancakes

"Nothing. Just something Sirius sent me I guess" Harry says

I looked towards him and I could tell he was lying. But i would just have to ask him about it later.

"So does anyone have anything to share? You know about school or life" Mrs.Weasley asks looking at me

I realized she wants me to admit we are dating. I looked towards Harry and he nodded. I might as well get this over with.

"I have something to say" I said loudly looking down at my food, everyone stops eating and looks towards me

"Harry and I are dating" I said quickly

I looked around to see the happy expressions written on their faces. All except Ron who seems to be be mad, I had a feeling he would be upset.

"How long have you two been dating?" Ginny asks excitedly

"Nearly 5 months. We started dating right after the first task" I tell her

"Here you go" Fred says to George handing him money

"You were betting on us?" Harry asked shocked

"Yep. We thought you to had something going on since you fell asleep together in the common room. I knew you two would date eventually" George says in a accomplished tone

"Ron say something" I tell him, He just looks at me with anger and walks out of the dining room

"Maybe I should go talk to him. I don't want him being upset" Harry says following him

"He will be fine dear. He is probably just mad that you didn't tell him sooner" Mrs.Weasley says sincerely, noticing my face

Harry's pov

Knock knock

"Ron can we talk?" I ask him through the door

I slowly walked in to see his eating some of his candy and I took a seat on the other side of the bed.

"Are you mad?" I ask him

"Hell yeah! I can't believe you guys kept it a secret until now! I am your best friend and none of you said a bloody thing about it! You don't even deserve her....there are so many other guys that she could have! You two have been dating since the first task and you were dating at the yule ball. When i heard someone asked Hermione, i thought it would be some loser not you. You don't belong together, she belongs with....."

"With you!" I yell back

He looks at me stunned. He thought he was so clever hiding his feelings for her, I always knew he fancied Hermione.
