Chapter 1- Fights


"What is it that you wanted to tell me Hermione?" Ginny asked her best friend. Hermione had dragged Ginny to her dorm because she had something that she needed to tell her. Ginny wondered what Hermione would tell her.

"I'm cheating on Harry with Ron. I feel really horrible about it; I just had to tell someone. I like Harry, I really do, it's just that I love Ron," Hermione confessed. Hermione had been dating Harry for five months.

"You're what?!?! You have to tell Harry!" Ginny screamed, very surprised by the news.

"I can't, and you know it. It would ruin our friendship." Hermione explained.

"I can't believe you Hermione Granger. You kept this from him, and you plan to continue. He's going to find out eventually. It's still going to ruin your friendship then."

"You don't understand, Gin, not telling him is for the best, it really is."

"And what do you plan to do when he finds out?"

"I'll deal with it when it comes up."

"Well plan to deal with it soon," Ginny said, backing out of Hermione's room.

"Promise me that you won't tell him."

"I refuse to do that."

"Ginny," Hermione pleaded as Ginny walked away. Ginny ran down the stairs, away from the girl's dorms. She continued running into the common room, and ran straight into her brother. She just glared at him for a minute, before exploding.

"I can't believe you! You are a horrible person!" she said. Then continuing in a whisper she said, "He's your best friend, how could you do that to him? After all the time's he's been there for you. After all the times he's saved you. You disgust me." Then she continued to run. 'I guess Hermione told her. How could she have told Ginny?' Ron thought. He felt a pang of guilt in his heart. He really didn't mean to betray his best friend, it had just happened.

Ron walked up to Hermione's dorm and knocked on the door. He heard her crying. "Come in," she called to him. When Ron entered her room, Hermione looked shocked. She wasn't expecting him.

"Hermione, I know you're upset, but I can tell the Ginny is really mad about all of this. How could you have told her though? I thought you knew to keep it a secret. Ginny hates when people get mistreated, so of course she's going to tell Harry to 'make it all better.' You shouldn't have said anything to anyone. That was the agreement." Hermione just cried some more. Ron knew he should feel bad for her, but he knew Harry was going to find out about them and be mad. He didn't want to lose his best friend. 'You should have thought about that before you started anything with Hermione,' his conscience said. 'Shut up,' Ron said to his conscience and left Hermione's dorm.

'I've ruined everything,' thought Hermione, still crying. 'My best friend and Ron are mad at me, and Harry is going to me furious when he finds out.' Hermione started crying harder.
