It was an interesting revelation. In retrospect, Hermione felt foolish for never noticing before. After all, Ron was one of her best friends, as well as the boy whom she had fancied for longer than she cared to remember. She’d always believed him to either not realize how she felt or to not know how to tell her that he didn't feel the same. She knew differently now. It had occurred to her while watching him play chess with Harry. He wasn’t oblivious; he was just taking his time and deciding what to do. She just had to be patient.
End
Patience
