chapter 1 suspisions

Harry's P.O.V.

It was the last class of the day and Harry and Hermione were sitting together in Professor Snape's Advanced Potions class. As per usual it was boring as hell, everyone looked like they were about to fall asleep as Snape rambled on about some new mysterious concoction they had to learn how to make. Harry couldn't help but look over at Hermione, she hadn't been the same recently. She always looked so sad and worried, just sitting there staring into space.

"Hermione," Harry whispered, "is everything okay?"

Hermione looked a little shocked at first, taking a while to recognise that Harry was talking to her. "Umm, yeah, I think so…" she mumbled, still lost in space. Harry studied her face, searching for a sign, for something more. "Actually, there is, something wrong that is. I think… I think Ron might be cheating on me."

It took a while for the words to sink in, Ron, cheating on Hermione? "Ron, cheating on you? Are you sure Hermione, what makes you think that?"

"Lately, he's just been acting rather odd, he's always really nervous and shifty around me. Like when we went out on a date to the Three Broomsticks last week, he wouldn't stop looking around. It felt like he was waiting for someone. Then at one point without any explanation, he just rushed off, came back 10 minutes later saying he'd just popped off to the loo. And then whenever I ask him about his day, he always replies with, "Fine, it was good, why, how about you, everything okay?' Not to mention whenever I see him around the hallways, he always runs off before I can say hi, it's almost like he doesn't want to be seen with me?" Hermione rambled on.

The more Harry thought about it the more he had to admit, Ron had been acting odd lately. Before he could reply to Hermione, they both noticed that the rest of the students were slowly shuffling out of the classroom.

Hermione's P.O.V.

Harry and Hermione walked out of class together, but Hermione couldn't help but continuously glancing back at Harry. He still hadn't told her if he agreed with her suspicions or not. Just then a very nervous and skittish looking Ron ran by almost knocking over Hermione.

"Oi, watch where your... oh, hey Ron" said a very annoyed and unhappy looking Hermione.

" Oh hey guys, sorry about that I wasn't paying attention to where I was going" apologized Ron.

"Obviously," whispered Harry to Hermione. Attempting to hide her giggling, she asked "So Ron, after dinner tonight do you want to come and hang out in the heads dorm with Harry and I?" Hermione was desperately hoping Ron would say yes and not make up some excuse as to why he couldn't come. For the first time in her life she wanted to be wrong; about Ron and her suspicions.

"Oh, I… I umm would, but I like can't… because well, just not tonight, sorry guys." Hermione's heart sank as she heard Ron's response. He was visibly shaking and his face had gone as red as his cursed red hair, she wondered if he knew he was a terrible liar? Hermione also couldn't help but notice that the entire conversation Ron kept looking over his shoulder. "It was like he was looking for someone..." she thought to herself. She looked up to Harry in a pleading way, he instantly knew what she was asking, just by the look in her beautiful eyes.

Harry stood up a little straighter before addressing Ron," Why not?"

"Because I, umm well I already told you, yeah I cant, I'm busy, ya I'm busy." Harry just glared at him and Hermione's gaze dropped to her feet. " I've gotta go." with that Ron took off. No 'good bye', or 'see ya later'.

"Well thats was certainly weird" said Harry.

"See, what did I tell you. He's up to something, that much is obvious, but i think he's cheating on me," exclaimed a very worried and sad Hermione. The only way she could hold back tears was to stare down at her shoes. She wasn't going to cry over this, it just wasn't worth it she kept telling herself. If only she could believe herself.

"I think you just might be right" sighed Harry.

" Harry" hermione whispered, "I think I have an idea".

Together the two walked back to the heads dorms before heading off to dinner. Little did they know that the whole time they'd been talking, a certain someone and his friend had been watching them.
