"Hermione, I have something I have to tell you..."
At Harry's words, I don't know what to think. I automatically assume the worst. He seemed distant. Did he regret last night? He probably does, and that's why he was so distant. I try to stop myself from thinking like this, but I can't. I don't think straight.
He continues on, and assures me that it isn't what I thought it was. But there's something else. What is it? I need to know. Right now. If I don't know, I'm going to go insane. I need to know what he needs to tell me. It can't be good. Did something happen to him? To us? To someone we care about? I know yesterday he was told something, but I don't know what. That's what makes me worry. Knowledge can be dangerous, but lack of knowledge can be fatal. Or, in this case, simply drive you into insanity.
I hear him tell me everything, and I don't know what to think. For once, there's something I don't know.
We slept separate last night. I needed him by my side, but I also needed to figure out some things in my life. I needed to figure out what to do from here. Obviously, that news was a shocker, but I decided I'm not going to let it keep us apart. He means everything to me, as I know I mean to him. There's no reason that we should let this keep us apart; we've been a part of each other's lives for so long that for this to get in our way just wouldn't be right.
Then I begin to ask what people will think of us. That is, if they ever find out. It won't go over well, that's for sure. I guess that we'll find out who our real friends are when it all comes out. People will just have to accept it; we love each other too much to let other people tell us we need to be apart.
I fall asleep, though not for a while. I have a problem with sleep normally; last night was the exception. But that's because he was there with me. He isn't this time, so I have trouble falling asleep, but I do eventually. I slept dreamlessly, which was much better than I had expected. I wake up, and get up as soon as I'm fully awake.
After going through a few rooms, I didn't find him, so I laid down on the couch and fell asleep again. This time, though, it wasn't dreamless.
Ron and Ginny are mad at us, Remus disappointed, I think I can even see Lily, James, and Sirius looking down on us with a look of sadness; they never wanted this to happen. They shouldn't've kept it from us, then. If we knew before, then they wouldn't have to worry about it. We love each other too much, though. Even if it means they reject us, we'll be together. I don't care what they think.
I wake up almost scared. I walk around, looking. When I reach the kitchen, I find my brother there. I walk up behind him and give him a big hug. He turns around to look at me, and smiles.
"Harry, I'm not going to let that keep us apart. I love you."
