Golden Scandal

The Gossipers of Hogwarts have been busy. Imagine the scandal, the Golden Girl Hermione Granger broke up with the Golden Boy Harry Potter.

Lavander and the Patil twins have been sharing rumors. It happened, it happened. Many ask how and there are two versions. Why don't we find out?

oOoOo

Gossipers say it happened this way:

It was afternoon in the Gryffindor's Common room and the Golden Girl was reading Hogwarts: A History for hundredth time when the Golden boy entered.

He went up into his room and she soon followed. Everyone stopped doing what they were doing to eavesdrop. Suddenly they heard a crash and shout, "I won't have it!"

"What do you mean!? It's just Quidditch!"

"Just quidditch!? It is always just Quidditch!"

"And all your book clubs?"

"Please like it is the same!"

"It is! Don't you get it?"

"Don't I get what?" Came her shrill voice.

After that it went silent but soon after the door slammed open and she stormed out yelling, "It's over!"

oOoOo

Even a Prophet published an article about them that was done by none other than Rita Skeeter.

Daily Prophet 17.10.1996.

Golden pair broke up?

That's right people, the Golden Boy is free.

After a year of dating the two, Hermione Granger and Harry Potter broke up. A source of ours said that she saw it coming all along. That she couldn't even understand how a Bookish girl and a boy everyone wants ended up together.

Another source said that the nargles are the ones that caused it. But I have gotten a statement from their long time friend Ronald Weasley.

"I could see from the start that it wouldn't go anywhere. Hermione was bossing him around and if anyone should have broken up with someone, it is him."

Ronald's sister gave a statement too.

"Harry is the one to blame definitely. Hermione tried to do everything for him. She helped him write homeworks and she always put everything aside when he came into the room. Many times she cancelled our girl nights because of him. He never did that."

And so my dear readers who do you think was the one who broke it of?

Rita Skeeter

oOoOo

What really happened was this:

It was afternoon in the Gryffindor's Common room and the Golden Girl was reading Hogwarts: A History for hundredth time when the Golden boy entered.

He went up into his room and she soon followed.

"Harry -"

"Hermione -"

"- I need to talk to you!"

"You first Harry," Hermione said.

"Well, you see, I have noticed that we have grown apart and that we are more and more like friends so I was thinking that we should call this off and go separate ways but remain friends?" Harry ended lamely and was thrown off when Hermione laughed lightly.

"What?"

"I was thinking the same Harry."

They looked at each other and then sat on the bed going over Harry's homework. Not even five minutes into that Harry said with a grin, "Will we give them a show?"

Hermione rolled her eyes but still said yes so it was on.

"What do you mean!? It's just Quidditch!" Harry shouted suppressing his laughter
"Just quidditch!? It is always just Quidditch!" Hermione went along sounding annoyed.
"And all your book clubs?"
"Please like it is the same!"
"It is! Don't you get it?"
"Don't I get what?" Came her shrill voice.
After that Hermione cast a silencing charm on the door and they laughed.

Knowing that she would have to bring show to the end she stormed out of the room slamming the doors and yelling, "It's over!"

The End
