The Attempt To Forget ~ Chapter 1 ~

~ * - Harry's POV - * ~

I had woken up today with a sick, nauseous feeling in my stomach. It had been a while since I had felt this way. Ron would usually wrap his arms around my slim, fragile figure to comfort me. Yet, today....Today was a melancholy day...I closed my eyes and replayed past memories way back to the time when the ginger-haired Weaseley had his leg sorely damaged by my godfather, Sirius Black.

- ^ - Flashback - ^ -

I was sitting next to a resting Ron after Hermione and I went through all the trouble, and it was absolutely worth it, to save Buckbeak from death and keep my godfather away from the wrenching Dementor's kiss. He looked so...so charming...I..I never felt this way about my best friend..Damn..These feelings that rushed through me when I looked to the 1st to youngest Weasley lying down in the Hogwarts hospital wing. Madame Pompfrey allowed me to stay with Ron because he knew how close we were to each other. I couldn't help but stroke a ginger strand of hair from the sleeping's boy's face. He was so..adorable when he slept..Especially, when he was injured. He seemed more peaceful now rather than the time he snores whenver I slept over at the Burrow.

Ron groaned in his sleep once he felt warm fingers upon his temples, though, he nestled to my touch. With that, it made me smile genuinely.

The Weasley groaned yet again as I removed my hand to see Ron glance over to me with narrowed emerald eyes. "Hey, Harry.." His voice was rugged due to soreness, but, was still the bright voice I came to love.

"Hi, Ron..How are you doing so far?.." I couldn't help but stare at him and smile warmly towards him.

"Well, I suppose..Madame Pompfrey said that if I kept complaining about the pain this damn leg's causing, she'll threaten to cut it off." Ron was trying to lighten up the mood because he didn't want to reveal his soreness. It's understandablt to say the least.

"Well, it is true, Ron. Complain more enough to tick off Pompfrey and you'll be walking with a peg-leg." I laughed softly towards my comment.

Ron's eyes widened now, in fear and humilation, as he then said "Um, alritey. Bloody hell, people would be laughing their arses off about that. Ronald Weasley, also known as 'Goofy Ronald Beardsley'. Or whatever those idiots come up with."

"Oh, don't worry, Ron. Like, I would let anyone tease you. You stood up for me. Time to repay the favor."

"Thanks, mate. You're a true friend..You know that?"

I couldn't take it anymore. His kind and sweet tone towards me compelled me to fall in love with him even more. So, I did the unthinkable.

I leaned forward to a half turned Weasley and gently kissed him on the lips. They were soft..oh god..I didn't want this kiss to end, though, I had to stop it.

I removed my lips from Ron's, who stared at me with a baffled expression plastered upon his original Weasley featured face.

"Ron..I..I'm sorry.." I said, rushed as I stood up from my chair next to Ron's bed and exited without another word.I began heading back to the Gryffindor dormitories, which was a long way. That allowed me to think through of what I just did not too long ago. What. Have. I. Done?

I just kissed my best friend..My best friend..The one who I talked about Quidditch with. The one who was afraid of spiders. The one who snored in his sleep. The one who had a pet rat named Scabbers. The one who let me into his house. The one I made friends with on the first train ride to Hogwarts..But, why..Why are my feelings for Ronald Weasley showing, now?..Oh, god..What is Ron thinking now? He must be thinking I am a bloody queer and that I should stay the fuck away from him...Maybe..Maybe he's right..If he says something like that of the sort..Now..Now, I'm afraid..I'm afraid of what he'll say to me..What'll he do to me..Mum..Dad..What do I do?

To Be Continued...
