The First Kiss

Chapter 2

What did Ron do?

They walk out of the Head Girl's Room. Hermione is thinking to herself, I hope that Ron behaves better than he did the last time four years go. He had been very cruel to her then. She hears Ginny say, "I hope that the boys are ready for us." Hermione nods her head as she is carefully walking down the stairs with her heels and adjusting her lion hairclip. She is ahead of Ginny going down the stairs. Her ears start to perk up at hearing Ron's voice.

"Lav, I don't know why I am even going out with Hermione." States Ron, "I am still in love with you."

"Oh Ron," coos Lavender Brown, "I love you too." There is the sound of kissing coming from the common room.

Hermione stops at the bottom of the stairs at the sight of Ronald Weasley kissing Lavender Brown. Ginny bumps into her because she doesn't realize that Hermione has stopped. "Hermione? What did you stop for?" asks Ginny. Hermione doesn't reply. She is in shock. Ginny decides to pull Hermione out of the way and closer to the wall. Then she sees what Hermione sees. She yells out, "RON!"

Ron and Lavender spring apart and Hermione snaps out of it. Ron starts stammering, "Her- Her- Hermione! It isn't what you think."

"IT ISN'T WHAT YOU THINK!!!" yells Hermione. "YOU MUST THINK THAT I AM BLOODY BLIND AND DEAF. I HEARD WHAT YOU SAID TO HER!"

"Now Hermione," states Lavender. "There is no reason to yell..."

Hermione cuts her off. "Excuse me, Miss Lav-Lav. You are a bitch with a capital B. You were not happy with the fact that I had everything, were you? Plus I didn't ask for your opinion, did I? NO, I didn't. Plus where the bloody hell do you think you are going anyway?" Hermione whips out her wand and points it at Lavender.

Lavender backs up as Hermione was yelling at her. She could see the power that is coming off of her. Hermione's brown eyes looked like molten chocolate that appeared ready to erupt at any time. She froze at the sight of the wand.

Ron, in a black dress robes with a red tie with gold laced around it and a lion on the front, jumps in between them. "Hermione?" Ron asks. "You need to calm down. Lavender doesn't even have her wand on her."

Hermione yells, "Accio Lavender's wand." The next thing you hear is a RIP. Everyone looks at Lavender as the dress is ripped down the middle where her wand was stored. The dress was a cornflower blue that matched Ron's eyes perfectly. Lavender scrambles to cover herself as the wand flies to Hermione's outstretched hand.

Harry come flying down the stairs when he hears Hermione's last yell. Harry is wearing the same style of dress robes as he wore at the Yule Ball but in a bigger size and to match Ginny's dress. He sees Hermione pointing her wand at Ron and Lavender. He sees Ginny standing off to the side trying not to laugh at Lavender's predicament. He finally noticed that Lavender's dress is ripped down the front. He takes charge of the situation. "Hermione!" Harry exclaims. "Put that wand down and give back Lavender hers. Ginny, please take Lavender upstairs please."

Ginny nods her head. She walks over to Hermione and takes Lavender's wand from her with a little struggle. Then she walks over to Lavender to help her up the stairs to their dorm room. As she walks by Ron, she silently does the Bat-Bogey Hex. Ron reacts to it yelling, "Why did you do that for?"

Ginny says, "That is for hurting Hermione, you moron." Ginny grabs Lavender by the arm and drags her out of the room. Harry waves his wand at Ron to counteract the hex. He was glad that he got Mrs. Weasley to tell him how to do it. He knew that would come in handy for the future especially with her quick temper. Ron nods to him in thanks and he wipes away the residual from his face. Ron and Harry both turn to look at Hermione. Even though they did so, they still took a step back.

Hermione's temper was rising when Harry took over the situation. Her eyes turned black and hard with anger. Harry asks, "What is going on here? Hermione, why did you rip the dress on Lavender and why are you pointing the wand still at Ron?"

Hermione states very firmly, "I caught Ron and Lavender kissing. He doesn't want to be with me. He wants to be with her."

Harry steps forward even though Hermione's power is starting to affect the room. The couches by the fireplace are starting to wobble a little. The portraits have vanished except Godric's. He is watching with interest. His eyes are slightly larger than normal from the surprised look on his face. Godric was trying to think of the last time he saw that much power in a woman and then he remembered. Minerva McGonagall.

"Hermione," states Harry, "Please calm down. Can't we talk about this without arguing?

"Harry? Are you taking his side of this?" asked Hermione.

"No, Hermione. Just trying to calm you down. You are moving the furniture in this room with your temper," Harry simply stated.

"Too bad, Harry. I am so mad at Ronald at the moment. He really has done it this time," Hermione angrily stated. "And I have every right to be, too."

"Hermione!" Ron yelled. "I didn't want you to find out this way. I love you."

"HA! Ronald, you are the lowest of low," exclaimed Hermione. "You don't even have the decency to honest with me." As she is yelling at Ron, she is walking closer to him and keeping the wand on him. Harry is still in between them trying to block her from using her wand.

"Hermione please put that wand away. He isn't worth going to Azkaban," Harry states in a calm voice. "I don't want you to do something rash tonight."

"Hey," exclaimed Ron.

"Ron, shut up," Harry simply states. "I am trying to save your hide or have you forgotten her knowledge of various spells and hexes that would hurt you"

"Err…no," Ron stammers. "Hermione please put that down. I realize that I was in the wrong and should have told you when I realized that I didn't love you anymore."

Hermione lowered her wand as Ron says these words. She starts to talk when she realizes that she had been made into a fool by Ron. She turns to Harry and asks him, "Did you know about this?" Harry shook his head no. She puts her wand away at that response and her eyes start to fill with tears.

Ron sees this and he starts to apologize to her, "Hermione…"

"Ron," Hermione states angrily through her tears. She pulls her right arm and throws her infamous right hook into Ron's chin. His head snaps back as he stumbles backwards onto the girls' staircase from the impact of the punch. When his feet touch the steps, it turns into a slide and the next thing you hear is a scream. Hermione and Harry look at the staircase as Lavender Brown came sliding down the stairs and runs smack into Ron with her heels.

"Oomph," Ron grunts as Lavender hits him.

"Lavender, I am so glad that you dropped in," Hermione stated with a hint of sarcasm. "I hope you enjoy your life with Ronald because Ron…we are through. I don't want to hear from you again." Hermione turns around and pulls out her wand out to blast a chair out of her way as she storms out the door.

As she is storming out the door, Hermione tries to wipe the tears away from her eye. She is walking at such a hurried pace that she doesn't even realize where she is going. Hermione is still crying from the earlier events when she rounds the corner by the Headmistress's office. When she does, she runs smack into someone and falls backwards.
