Chapter 4: Dark Side

"Well at least I don't pretend to be self-sufficient!" Ron bellowed. "I know I can't relate to Cho, but how in bloody hell do you think you can?"

"I guess I have sympathy, Ron! Can you get that through your thick skull, or is kindness too hard to understand?" I shouted as I stormed out of the common room, up the stairs, and into the girls' dormitories.

I laid face down on my pillow and screamed into it. This entire argument was my fault.

It certainly couldn't have helped Harry. Giving him a headache on top of the hormones from kissing Cho wasn't the best thing for us to do, but neither of us could stop fighting long enough to pay attention to how he felt about his best friends' quarrel.

I slowly composed myself and deemed my attitude worthy of an apology to Ron.

As I was descending the staircase, I saw that the common room had been all but deserted. Fred and George had abandoned their game of Exploding Snap and Seamus was on a coach at the back of the room frantically trying to finish a Herbology essay. All the while, the person I was looking for was sitting next to the hearth, waiting for me.

"Ron, what are you doing down here?" I asked.

"I could ask the same of you," he replied with a smile. I rolled my eyes, but he didn't seem to mind.

"I came to apologize," I admitted.

He looked shocked. "What do you have to apologize for?"

"Because I picked a fight with my best friend."

"Hermione, I'm the one who needs to apologize!" he exclaimed.

I sighed. "Did you think about what's going on in Harry's mind now? He's probably cursing both of us now for not paying him any nevermind."

"You're right," he said. "I'm an insensitive git."

"You're not the only one because I need to 'sort out my priorities'," I quoted just to see if he realized he said that to me years ago.

He grinned and replied, "Well the first should be to go make it up to Harry, and that goes for both of us." He rose from his spot on the floor, offering to help me. I followed him up the stairs to the boys' dormitories, thankful there was no curse against the opposite gender on it as there was in mine.

"You two kiss and make up?" a sarcastic voice said as we entered.

"Something like that," we said in unison.


A/N: How was it? Hit the review button and tell me! I'd like to thank all of my new supporters because I'm always in the mood to read a review and check out a new fan's profile! Just in case anyone's wondering, the reason I put the last bit in there was because I wish that the sarcasm Harry always used in the books like 'Oh, you don't have to call me 'sir', Professor.' had made it to the movies. PLEASE REVIEW, FOLLOW, AND FAVORITE!

Sunny!
