Friends are Foes

A/N: Hi everyone! Thought I'd try and write a Harry Potter fanfic as a change from LOTR ones. This is set in their seventh year. Hope you enjoy it! Reviews greatly appreciated!!! Please don't flame if you can help it!
Chapter 1: Jealousy
Harry turned over as his eyes opened blearily. He could only see dark shadows though, as the rooms' only light was coming from the moonlight streaming through the window. After five minutes of fruitless tossing and turning Harry got up and dressed. Maybe he'd go down to the common room and finish that essay for McGonnagel. He was just going out the door when he turned and knew something was wrong.
Neville was snoring quietly, Seamus was muttering incoherently in Irish, but something was missing. Ron.
His usual heavy breathing wasn't there. Harry strode quickly and quietly over to Ron's bed and ripped back the hangings. Ron wasn't there.
Without thinking Harry sprinted down to the common room, thinking that Ron might be down there. But the common room, softly lit by the glow of the fire embers, was deserted.
Oh no! Was Ron in the hospital wing? Had he been wandering around the school and got hurt? How would Harry know?
Then it hit him. The marauders map!
Sprinting back up to the dormitory Harry pulled his trunk open and fumbled around for the map. But wait a minute. Where was his invisibility cloak? It was usually folded at the bottom of his trunk, next to his old books, but it had gone.
Harry pulled out the map, whispered "I solemnly swear I am up to no good", and after scanning the it for a moment his eyes fell upon two little dots by the lake. One was Ron, and the other was… Hermione!
Harry bounded across to the window and looked down towards the dark lake. The moonlight was sparkling on the surface like tiny diamonds, and he could see the giant squid propelling itself lazily across the water. But no Ron, or Hermione.
Pulling the map up to his eyes again he distinctly saw the two tiny dots labelled Ron Weasely, and Hermione Granger, standing by the water and under the tree nearest to his window. But there was nothing to be seen out of the window.
They must have stolen his cloak! His cloak! That had been his fathers'. The only thing he owned that had belonged to his parents!
Harry felt uncontrollable anger stir inside him. But also a new emotion. Jealousy.
Why was Hermione with Ron? He was the famous Harry Potter. Most girls would die to go out with him. But no, Hermione was with Ron.
Slowly Harry walked down to the common room. He sat stiffly in a chair, frowning into the dying embers. All the time thinking… Hermione and Ron… The girl he loved, and his best friend.
