alright look I know a lot of people argue about how romione was barely hinted at and that the lead up was weak
but listen. we are told the story through Harry’s eyes. Harry Oblivious Potter. The fact that Harry even realized AT ALL that Ron and Hermione loved each other says so much bc listen it takes a LOT for Harry to notice stuff okay
Like tbh they could have been shagging right in front of him and he would be like “Ron and hermione are fighting again, Quidditch is good though and I wonder what Malfoy is up to”
have you ever experienced that feeling where you fall in love with your otp all over again? like everyone loves their otps as they progress slowly and they slowly fall in love with them, but then while reading fanfic or watching fanvids or just sitting around but you’re suddenly hit by how beautiful and amazing your otp is all over again and just how far they’ve come and every reason why you ship them and it just makes you emotional and want to cry in the middle of the room and it’s fucking wonderful
“Whatever house I’m in, I hope she’s not in it,” said Ron.

Harry glanced over at the dark shapes they made on the floor beside him. Ron had a fit of gallantry and insisted that Hermione sleep on the cushions from the sofa, so that her silhouette was raised above his. Her arm curved to the floor, her finger’s inches from Ron’s. Harry wondered whether they had fallen asleep holding hands. - Chaper 10,
