Teenage Wasteland
Harry Potter sat silent, unmoving as the rain rattled the tent. Despite the noise he could hear his best friend sobbing quietly. He slowly walked over to the bunk where Hermione laid. His hand reached out to touch her but he stopped himself. He said in a low voice, "I'm so sorry I never meant for this to happen. I never meant to hurt you." No response. Perhaps Hermione was already asleep; he forged on saying words he would never say if she was listening, but felt he needed to get off his chest. "Hermione... I... you're my best friend and wish we could just be ourselves and not have the wizarding world on our shoulders. Your the most loyal friend I ever had."
ry woke up to the wail of the teakettle and the first rays of the sun shooting across the horizon. His head felt clearer left like he had just gone from the divination room to the quidditch pitch. As he navigated out of his bunk his foot stepped on something sharp. As waves of pain shot up his leg, he examined what he stepped on. It appeared to some glass container . Harry also noticed a nice smell. Perfume?
As he thought a feminine voice interrupted his reverie. "Harry!" Herminie called "Breakfast is ready." He entered the small kitchen of the tent and saw Hermione calmly making a cup of tea. The ate in relative silence. "Hermione," Harry began "I found something near Ron's bunk." "What was it?" Hermione asked. "I'll show it to you." he said.
As the walked to Ron's bunk Harry noticed how many times Ron had walked out on him... no, them... Ron had also walked out on Hermione often at great emotional cost to her. As soon Hermione entered the room her expression changed completely and look of rage and betrayal replaced the calm face that she had moments before.
"What did Ron do?" Harry asked. Hermione voice was that of a low growl a tone she only used when referring to Malfoy. "The bastard was using Amortenia on me." "You mean he was dosing you with a love potion?", Harry said. The realization sank in. "Harry", Hermione began in a gentle voice, " I think Ginny may have also used Amortenia on you, perhaps even Cho may have done the same .Harry... one of the side effects is that you can't remember specific events about your relationship. Harry can you remember any specific events... Harry can you remember your first kiss?" Harry Harry sat in silence as he realized that all of his love been manufactured in a cauldron.
All of it... yet Hermione had always been there. Harry sat there for some time he didn't want to come to terms of what just happened. His former girlfriend and best friend betrayed him. Harry and Hermione later packed up and disapparated under the cover of darkness.
A/N Ok... chapter 1 finished. Chapter 2 later maybe next week.. can't tell yet. I have midterms coming up and schedule may be bit erratic. Sorry 1st chapter is small typing on phone
On to the story- what is going to happen next? Harry obviously has feelings for a certain bushy-haired bookworm. He doesn't realize yet though. However, he doesn't want to risk his friendship just yet. Whether Hermione has the same is a different matter...(hint: I'm an H\Hr shipper.) If were assuming Ron's leaving occurred in fall, mid October perhaps, expect feelings to be revealed chapters 4 or 5 around Christmas time. Can't tell how long it's going to be maybe ten minimum.
