The crystal ball






Harry was in the library, looking up the draught of the living dead. 'Asphododel and
wormwood, I should have known!' Harry thought. As he was leaving, he saw his girlfriend, Cho
Chang. (A/N: It doesn't end this way! I promise! I'll shut up... On with the story!) But
what he saw when he got there wrenched his insides apart. Cho was enjoying a sudden face
attatchment with a ravenclaw prefect. She spotted hiim and said, "Oh, hi Harry" detatching
herself from the prefect. "Wanna take a walk around the lake?"
Harry narrowed his eyes to little slits. "Why would I go anywhere with you? You seem to
like him better. Why don't you go out with him then?"
"well Harry..." she said trying to explain. "You never kissed me, not once, and I
couldn't help it!" she exclaimed quickly.
"You need to get another boyfriend.'Herry said and walked off.
He would not be cheated on, and something told him that he didn't truely like her. As he
walked into the common room, he saw Hermione run up the stairs to her dormitory, and slam the
door. Forgetting all his problems with Cho, he followed her. He knocked on the sixth year
door and said "Hermione? Can I come in?"
"I guess Harry."
He walked in to see Hermione sitting on her bed crying. "What's wrong Hermione?"
"oh, Ron just brought to my attention that my crush will never return my feelings." she
whispered.
Harry thought hard, and he remembered hearing a conversation between Mcgonagall and
Hermione. "Professor, I can't tell him now! His new girlfriend, Cho Chang, remember?!?"
So that was it. It was him. Hermione was very pretty, and she knew everything about
him. He rather liked her too. When he snapped out of his thoughts, and found Hermione sobbing
into his shirt, her arms around his neck. "Just tell him. I'm sure he will like you too."
he said an made to kiss her on the cheek.
Hermione pulled her head off his shoulder at the same time, and he accidentally kissed
kissed her on the lips. They only pulled apart when they heard voices on the stairs. He
quickly put her her head on his shoulder, and her arms around his neck. He put his hands on
her back and said , just as Partavi and Lavender walked in, "There, there, Hermione. It'll be
alright."
"So Harry, You're a free man now?" Lavender asked
"Yeah, I guess I am. But I've got someone in mind" He said an shot a quick glance at
Hermione, who smiled.
"Ooh, lemme guess!" Partavi squealed "Professor Trewlaney said Hannah Abbot."
"That girl who sits in the back of class and doesn't do homework unless she's failing?
Not even close. A complete one eighty. Hermione, you left your books downstairs, I'll go get
them." he said.
