~Try Again~ by Allie

Herimione rushed into her dorm and slammed the door, flinging herself on her bed as she did. There she began sobbing hysterically, not being able to stop. After ten minutes or so Ginny walked in,

"Hermione can you…" she broke off when she saw Hermione's puffy, swollen, and red eyes. "What's wrong with you?" she asked sympathetically as she sat on the bed next to Hermione.

"It's just that…" her voice trailed off as she remembered.

Flashback

"Hey Mione," Ron said casually as he strolled into the Gryffindor common room.

Hermione was stunned, Ron hadn't said a word to her ever since he'd heard about her going to visit Viktor Krum over the summer.

"Hi Ron," she stuttered overcoming her momentary surprise, "Ummmm… I thought that you were mad at me for when Viktor kissed me," she said. That was her mistake

"WHAT!!!??" Ron shouted, "You said that you went to visit him, not KISSED him!!!"

Well that was stupid thought Hermione before replying "Sorry Ron I knew you'd get mad so I didn't tell you."

Ron bellowed back at her, "Well if that's the way you want to be then fine!!!! We won't be friends you can go hang out with that, that…KRUM!!!"

Tears sprung up in Hermione's eyes at that point, and she could barely bring herself to say, "Oh, I'm sorry," before she broke down and fled the common room.

End of Flashback

"Mione," Ginny was saying. "W-what?" Hermione spluttered, "Sorry I wasn't paying attention, what did you say?"

I'm such a bloody idiot! Ron thought to himself in the dormitory. I acted like a bloody prat!

He couldn't believe what he had just done, he'd just ended his friendship with Hermione, who had been his best friend for six years. He, of course, was at fault, but was also far too proud to apologize. "It'll all blow over eventually," he whispered, although he wasn't so sure he believed himself.
