oOoOo

But Why?

Hermione knew that it wouldn't last. All of the girls usually never did. She wondered why he threw them away so quickly. She really thought that at least Ginny would have a pretty good shot, since their history together. She wondered why Harry was so unhappy.

It was a typical November day, and there was nothing to do on that Saturday. Hogsmeade was out of the question, since it had been closed down after Dumbledore's death.

So in the Gryffindor Tower, it wasn't unusual to find Harry, Hermione, and Ron just sitting there, bored beyond belief. Hermione was the first to speak up. "You know guys..." she began.

Ron sighed. "No Hermione, I don't want to play another round of wizard chess with Harry, while you read a stupid book. We all know how it's going to turn out." Hermione slumped back down in her chair, out of ideas. Harry just stared out the window, almost cut off from the world. He usually did this everyday anyway.

Hermione wouldn't have it. "Harry." He looked up; and Hermione could tell he was uninterested. "What do you think we should do?" she questioned. Harry scratched his head. "Well…"

Just then Ginny had made her way over to the couches and sat on Harry's arm rest. "Harry…" she said breathily. Harry turned so that he couldn't see her face. Hermione saw a flicker of anger in her eyes. She tried again. "Harry, why can't we be together? I love you, Harry." She said sickening sweetly in his ear. Hermione pretended to gag.

Ginny unfortunately saw this and whipped to face her. "What's the matter, Teacher's Pet? Not getting enough attention?" she taunted. Hermione felt her face heat up and her anger flare. Ron was the first to respond. "Ginny, grow up and leave us alone. He dumped you. The end."

Hermione looked at him, shocked. She thought for sure he would defend his only sister. Harry just looked at her and shrugged with his eyes and gave her a small smile. Ginny looked back and forth to them and huffed off.

Hermione sighed. This was a rather interesting day after all.

oOoOo

Monday afternoon came quickly. She never saw this coming. Harry was now dating Lavender Brown, basically just two days after he dumped Ginny. She didn't know what had gotten into him.

In Potion's class, she tried many attempts to try to talk to Lavender. Once Professor Snape finally turned his back, she called out her name. Lavender turned to face her, and scowled. "What in the world do you want?"

Hermione was surprised by her reaction. Lavender was usually nice to her, for the most part. "Well…uhm, I just wanted to know how you and Harry got together so… quickly." She finished lamely.

Lavender smiled, though Hermione didn't think it was warm. "Hermione, Harry has needs, and you're not his only girl you know. So just back off him." She snapped. Hermione pulled back. "Excuse me? I don't like Harry! I was only trying to…"

"Ms. Granger. Do you have something you want to share with the class?" Snape's voice cut through the air. Hermione faced back to the front. "No Professor." She said weakly. Snape rolled his eyes. "Ten points from Gryffindor. Now as I was saying…"

Hermione took a chance and threw a glare and Lavender. She only smiled in that way where you could tell it was a fake. Hermione felt her blood boil. She turned back in her seat. 'How dare she think I like Harry!? I'm his best friend for god sakes!' she thought angrily.

oOoOo

After class was over, Hermione felt Ron reach her side. "Ooh Hermione, what was that all about?" he asked excitedly. She merely rolled her eyes. "Oh Ronald, you're such a child. I was only trying to figure out why Harry was jumping from girl to girl, and she accused me of…" she trailed off. She shook her head. "It doesn't matter. Because I don't." she said matter-of-factly.

"You don't what?" Hermione know felt Harry join in on the conversation. She sighed, as if annoyed. "Nothing, Harry. God, can't you two grow up? Just a little bit?" she snapped and then stalked off.

Ron raised his eyebrows. "What's with her?" Harry just shrugged and they followed her to Transfiguration.
