He knew that she was mad at him for not putting his friendship and her relationship with Ron before his own impulses. This is the clue for a not so happy ending. I'm jumping to conclusions but can't help it.
After betraying Ron so blatantly these two will never take what just happened as a sign that they belong together but as the reason why they should not be together. Kind of punishing each other for having sex. Crap and more crap! I adore this pairing, please can I have a happy ending?

Report This]Hermione can be dense and oblivious as the best of us. For a second there I was really angry at Hermione for taking the liberty to encourage poor Ginny and then I thought about for a little while. Might Hermione's meddling happened because she is afraid of what Harry truly means to her? I'm sure out loud and consciously Hermione is telling herself all sorts of excuses for talking to Ginny but deep down Hermione knows why she did it.
Hermione is after all a young woman eager to please and live by the rules and expectations no matter the many times she broke every rule while helping Harry defeat Voldemort. Harry hit the nail on the head. Hermione is cognizant of the expectations about her, Ron, Ginny and Harry and I have the awful feeling that this story isn't going to have a happy ending.
Harry won't let Hermione know his true feelings and Hermione isn't going to admit not even to herself that Harry is more than the brother she never had. Frankly I am not as disappointed in Harry as I am in Hermione.
I may be wrong at least that's my hope.

Report This]What exactly is Ginny plotting?
There are times when I really feel sorry for Harry. He defeated Voldemort and lost so much at the same time! Regardless of having the Weasley family and Hermione and Ron around, there is a hole in his life and I'm waiting for Hermione to make Harry complete.

Report This]The friendship between this too moved me in the books and it did while reading this chapter. It also confirmed that Harry was better suited to end up with Hermione but, J K had other ideas.
Is Harry going to leave or is Hermione going to convince him to stay? Titles can be deceiving :)

Report This] Report This]You nailed all three of their characters! Thanks so much for not turning anyone into a villian. :-)
Report This] Report This] Report This]He may not leave after all.
Report This]One thing stood out, how much in character they all are. Ron is just perfect. Harry in love with Hermione, why oh why J K couldn't see the rightness of it? As much as I loved and still do the books that is one thing I can't forgive her: Hermione paired with Ron. The premise is interesting.

Report This]I just love the way you have Harry and Hermione interact. It makes me want to shake her and tell her to dump Ron and run off into the sunset with Harry.
Report This]I'm so glad to see this story here. I was also reading it at GE, but I'm glad you decided to spread the love. The plot of this story is fantastic!
