Hermione & Naruto, Harry & Hinata: Love Across Worlds"

The sun was shining brightly over Hogwarts, casting a warm glow across the castle grounds. Hermione was walking through the courtyard, her thoughts filled with memories of her secret meetings with Naruto. The ring he had given her glittered on her finger, a constant reminder of their love and the promises they had made.

As she made her way to the library, she spotted Harry sitting on a bench, engrossed in a book. Hermione smiled and walked over to him, taking a seat beside her long-time friend.

"Hey, Harry," she greeted him, her voice cheerful. "What are you reading?"

Harry looked up, his face lighting up with a smile. "Oh, just some light reading for our next Defense Against the Dark Arts class," he replied. "How about you? How's your research going?"

Hermione nodded, her fingers absentmindedly playing with the ring. "It's going well. I've been working on some fascinating new spells."

Harry's eyes widened as he noticed the ring on Hermione's finger. His smile faded, replaced by a look of confusion and hurt. "That's a beautiful ring, Hermione. I've never seen you wear it before. Is it new?"

Hermione's heart skipped a beat, and she felt a slight flush rise to her cheeks. "Oh, this?" she said, trying to keep her tone casual. "Yes, it's a... um... a gift from a friend."

Harry's brow furrowed, and a shadow crossed his face. "A friend? Must be a very special friend to give you something like that."

Hermione nodded, trying to hide her nervousness. "Yes, very special. It's a promise ring. A symbol of... commitment."

Harry's expression softened slightly, but the hurt in his eyes was still evident. "I see. I didn't know you were seeing someone. You didn't tell me."

Hermione felt a pang of guilt. "I'm sorry, Harry. I didn't mean to keep it from you. It's just... complicated."

Harry nodded slowly, his eyes dropping to the ground. "I understand. It's just that we've always shared everything with each other. I guess I feel a bit left out."

Hermione reached out and placed a hand on his arm. "Harry, you're one of my best friends. I never wanted to hurt you or make you feel left out. This person means a lot to me, but that doesn't change how important you are in my life."

Harry looked up, a small, sad smile on his face. "Thanks, Hermione. I appreciate that. I guess I just need some time to get used to it."

Hermione nodded, understanding the emotions Harry was grappling with. "Take all the time you need, Harry. I'm here for you, always."

They spent the next hour chatting, but there was a noticeable tension in the air. Harry's hurt and confusion lingered, casting a shadow over their conversation. Hermione felt a sense of unease, knowing that her secret relationship with Naruto had affected her friendship with Harry.

That evening, as she prepared for bed, Hermione couldn't shake the feeling of guilt. She knew that Harry needed time to come to terms with the changes in their relationship, but she also knew that her love for Naruto was unwavering.

With a heavy heart, Hermione slipped into bed, the ring on her finger a comforting reminder of the promises she and Naruto had made. As she closed her eyes, she hoped that with time, Harry would understand and accept her choices.
