Watching
Summary: Its 3 days till their graduation and Harry and Hermione are thinking about the past. And on whether to tell each other how they fell.
Chapter 1
(Harry's P. O. V)
He loved watching her. He's been watching her ever since they met on the train in their first year, but even more lately. He was very discreet. Always looking when no one was watching.
He knew every freckle on her nose.
He knew how she crinkled her eyebrow when she was reading, which was all the time.
He knew that she bit her upper lip when she got into an interesting part.
He thought he'd seen every facial expression.
The way her eyes gleamed when she laughed.
They way her eyes flared when she was angry.
The way her eyes...hell, he loved her eyes. All you have to do is look in her eyes and you would know the truth, whatever that may be. If something was the matter...if she was happy, sad, angry...
To say that Hermione Granger had a hold on Harry Potter was an understatement. One look and he would melt. One plea and he would do whatever she wanted (which he did).
Of course, she could never know any of this. For Hermione, the love of his life, his life, his breath, his heart, was with someone else. Not just someone else either. It was none other than his former best friend, now acquaintance-like friend, Ron Weasley.
Not that he was mad at Ron. On the contrary, he was happy for them. Well, as happy for someone who's in love with someone you love. But it was still hard. To watch the woman you love more than life kiss someone else. He was happy for Ron...wasn't he?
He was happy for Hermione.
As long as she's happy, is his mantra.
