A/N: Hope you like this chapter
Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Tawny left their French class and hurried to the Great Hall. When they arrived, they each got a seat by each other and started talking. "I never knew you could speak some French," Hermione said.
"You guys never asked," Tawny replied.
"So, your dad's French, huh," Ron said.
"Yes Ron, and when you try and speak French, don't stutter," Tawny told him.
"I can't believe it, our first day of potions, and we've already lost house points," Harry said.
"I know, I can't believe Snape took away points," Ron said.
"Well, maybe it's because you deserved it," Malfoy said from behind.
"What do you want, ferret?" Hermione asked.
"Nothing, I just wanted to ask Tawny here if she would like to sit with me for lunch," Malfoy said.
"Yeah right Malfoy," Ron said.
"Ron," Tawny said to him annoyed, "Not today Draco, maybe some other time."
With that, Draco turned and walked away from the group. "What was that, maybe some other time thing?" Ron asked.
"I was just trying to be nice," Tawny said.
"Well, next time, think about who you want to be nice to first," Ron said.
"Yeah, well maybe next time, you won't be very rude and answer for someone when you weren't even asked a question," Tawny said.
"You guys, stop fighting," Harry said.
"Yeah you guys, I thought you were friends," Hermione added.
"Friends, we were never friends, I just met her. Plus, I don't think I want to be friends with someone who befriends my worst enemy," Ron said.
"And I don't think I want to be friends with someone who hates a person who's my friend," Tawny said.
With that, Tawny got up from the table and walked out of the Great Hall. "I'll go talk to her," Hermione said, "Harry, you talk to Ron."
Hermione left the talbe and followed Tawny. Meanwhile, Harry tried to talk with Ron. "C'mon Ron. Don't be like this. So what if she's a friend with Malfoy. That still doesn't mean you can't be her friend too," Harry said.
"I can't believe you just said that. You of all people Harry. Malfoy is your archenemy. I don't know why you're sticking up for her," Ron said.
"She's not a bad person Ron. She's nice, sweat, charming, has a great personality. It doesn't really matter to me if she goes and makes friends with Malfoy," Harry said.
"You sound like you've know her a long time, when really, you haven't even known her for 12 hours," Ron said.
"You can tell a lot about people from their first impression," Harry said.
"You're absolutely tight Harry. My first impression of her is willingly going to work with Malfoy, and having a good time," Ron said.
"Gosh Ron, you're so impossible," Harry said.
"Foods here Harry, let's eat before it gets cold," Ron said.
Meanwhile, Hermione caught up with Tawny. "Tawny, what's wrong?" Hermione asked.
"It's Ron. He won't let me be friends with someone he doesn't like," Tawny said.
"Well, I've never really seen Ron act this way before. It may be because he likes you and wants to protect you," Hermione said.
"If he really likes me, he'll let me do what I want to do," Tawny said.
"Well, Ron is a bit strange. Anyway, why do you even want to be friends with Malfoy?" Hermione asked.
"He's really nice to me, and he seems like a great person. I am new here, and I want to make friends, and Draco seemed like the kind of person you want to be friends with," Tawny said.
"Well, I can't stop you from being friends with Malfoy, and I can't stop you from not wanting to be friends with Ron, but maybe, I can change your mind," Hermione said.
"Try me," Tawny said.
"Well, you know how you described Malfoy, Ron is like that too, but he's also funny, sweat, the kind of person who will make you laugh even if your crying. He's the greatest person in the world, except for a few things. He doesn't want to lose a friend to Malfoy. He'll do anything to stop that person," Hermione said.
"I didn't think Ron and I were even friends," Tawny said.
"I'm sure he was your friend, it's just that after Malfoy asked you what he did, and you responded the way you did to what he said, he probably just exploded," Hermione said, "Just give him another chance."
"All right, but just one more chance," Tawny said.
"Great, now let's get back to the Great Hall and eat before we run out of time," Hermione said.
Both girls walked back to the Great Hall and sat back down in the seats they were sitting in before. When they sat down, Ron avoided talking to Tawny. "So Hermione, how many of this years textbooks have you already read?" Ron asked.
"All of them, twice, except for part of the French book, it started having everything in French," Hermione said.
"Ron," Tawny started but was interrupted by Ron.
"Harry, how's quidditch coming along this year?" Ron asked.
"Gre-," Harry started, but was interrupted by Tawny.
"Ron, why won't you listen to me?" Tawny asked.
"Oh, I'm sorry Tawny, what did you say?" Ron asked even though he did here her.
"Ron, why are you acting like this? I'm trying to give you a second chance, but I guess you don't want it. Look, just forget it ok," Tawny said.
"Forget it, fine. Why don't you just forget that I ever liked you as a friend," Ron said.
"Fine, then why don't you forget that I ever knew you. Just, never talk to me again," Tawny said.
Tawny ran from the Great Hall crying. "I'll go talk to her," Hermione said starting to get up.
"No Hermione," Harry said, "If any of us goes to talk to her, I think it needs to be Ron."
"Me, why me. None of this was ever my fault. It's all her fault, she should have never gone and made friends with Malfoy," Ron stated.
"How stupid can you get Ron? You hurt her bad when you told her to forget that you liked her. She was trying to make up, and you just blew it," Hermione said.
"Yeah, Ron, you really did," Harry said.
"Now my two best friends turn on me," Ron said.
"You know Hermione's right Ron. You should have never said what you did," Harry said.
"I know," Ron said while slumping down in his chair, "I knew I liked her right when she walked into to the room. Now, she'll never like me, I really blew it."
"No you didn't Ron. Go talk to her. Make it up to her. Get her some flowers, something to show that you care," Hermione said.
"I'll talk to her at dinner," Ron said.
A/N: Hope you liked the chapter. I still don't know who's going to end up with Tawny. I guess I'll figure it out if I just keep writing the story. Please review and tell me what you think.
Next chapter outlook: The next chapter will take place at dinner. Ron is going to make up with Tawny, or at least try to. I think Malfoy is going to do something, but I don't know, and I don't know what. Should be posted by next Saturday (2/17/02), hopefully.
