Chapter Four: The Triangle Adds One More Side

*SMACK*

"YOU BASTARD!" Hermione screamed at Ron, smacking him hard in the face. Leaving behind a bright red hand print mark.

"Hermione I'm sorry, it didn't mean anything. I love you" Ron said apologetically.

"YOU LOVE ME!? YOU LOVE ME!? HOW CAN YOU LOVE ME AND CHEAT ON ME!?" Hermione said still screaming raising her hand to smack him again but Ron quickly grabbed her wrist.

"I said I'm sorry. I've felt bad ever since then. I love you and one day I want to marry you." Ron said with a tear rolling down his cheek.

"FUCK OFF! DON'T TALK TO ME, I NEED TO THINK!" Hermione screamed running off back into the castle.

Ron sat down on the cold grass and put his head in his hands and wept.

Harry was waiting outside the Room of Requirements when Hermione rushed towards him, pulled hard on his robes and dragged him in to the room. As soon as the door closed all the way Hermione started ripping off his clothes and removing hers while aggressively kissing him on the lips. Harry enjoyed it greatly but he couldn't help but notice something was wrong.

"Hermione please let's talk first." Harry said pushing her off of him and pulling up his pants.

"Harry I want you, I want you right now. Don't you want me too?" Hermione said with a pleading look in her eyes.

"Yes of course there is nothing I want more but we need to talk." Harry calmly said while looking in her eyes. He noticed that they were red and puffy as if she had been crying. "What's wrong? Have you been crying?" Harry said concerned, leading Hermione to a brown comfy couch in front of a roaring fireplace.

"I don't want to talk about it." Hermione replied trying to kiss him again.

"No Hermione we need to talk, this is serious." Harry said sternly pushing her away again.

"HE CHEATED ON ME! THAT BASTARD CHEATED ON ME! HOW COULD HE!? I thought he loved me." Hermione screamed but quieted down as the tears started to escape her eyes again.

"Hermione I don't mean to be rude but you cheated on Ron as well." Harry said looking down, realizing that he was in the middle of this.

"You don't think I know that!" Hermione sharply replied. "I know I cheated but I never thought he would. We love each other." She said trying to fight more tears.

"I love you too Harry." She quickly said noticing the hurt her previous statement caused him.

"This isn't a moment to talk about you and me. That conversation can wait for another day. Tonight we'll focus on you and how you are feeling. Are you okay?" Harry said trying to comfort her as much as he could. He was satisfied with knowing Hermione loved him as well.

"Yeah I guess I'm okay now. I just hurt and it came out of nowhere, you know. I never would have imagined that he would have cheated and with Luna Lovegood." Hermione scooting closer to Harry and leaning her head on his chest.

"Wait he cheated on you with Luna? Luna Lovegood!?" Harry said shockingly.

"Y-y-yeah I k-k-know, it's c-c-crazy." Hermione said starting to sob.

"Don't cry Hermione. I am here and will always be here for you." Harry said kissing the top of her head.

"You promise?" Hermione said now looking in his eyes.

"I promise." Harry said with a smile. He then wiped away her tears and gently kissed her on the lips. "I will never leave your side."

Harry then carried Hermione to the bedroom but not to make love but to cuddle and they embraced each other all night, falling asleep in each other's arms.

*ONE WEEK LATER*

During breakfast Harry and noticed that Ron wasn't there and he gazed around the room to see if he was sitting somewhere else.

"Why are you trying to find him?" Hermione said with her eyes glued to a book.

"Even though you two are going through a tough time he is still my best friend, and I'm worried about him I haven't seen him in a week." Harry said.

"I know I've been worried about him too, but he's probably with her." Hermione said bitterly.

"I doubt that, he loves you so much. I don't think he would go back to her. He's probably just giving you sometime to cool off and have some space." Harry said comfortingly. Even though Ron had classes with Harry and Hermione, Ron strictly talked to Harry and focused on the lesson as if Hermione wasn't there. Harry and Hermione decided it was best to keep their feelings towards each other out of the public light until the issue with Ron was settled. However Hermione was right Ron was with Luna.

"Do you see them hun?" Luna said looking off into the sky as she sat next to Ron at the lake. They both agreed to meet and talk things out.

"No I don't, I'm not as talented as you Luna." Ron said smiling. "She is beautiful when she notices all the creatures of this world and her face lights up." Ron thought to himself.

"So what are we going to do?" Luna said still looking at the sky.

"I don't know. You know I still love Hermione, but I care so much about you." Ron said looking down. "How could I let this happen? How could I get so caught up in this mess and hurting both you and Hermione.

"I'm okay Ron, and no matter what decision you make we are still friends." She said now looking at him with a smile.

"I love you Luna. You are so sweet and beautiful." Ron said mesmerized by her kind heart.

"No you don't Ron. You love Hermione; you're just attracted to me." Luna said still smiling.

"I may still love Hermione. But I do love you." Ron said leaning in and planting a passionate kiss on her lips. They then sat there in each other's arms talking about the many creatures that Luna had seen. There was nowhere Ron wanted to be, but a part of him was still guilty for hurting Hermione. He did love her after all. He was caught between two lovely ladies and the moment was drawing near for him to choose.

Hermione found herself in the same situation as Ron and knew that at some point she would have to choose between Harry and Ron. She loved them both dearly but had to pick one. Ron and Hermione made the decision that until they knew which one they wanted to choose they would try and talk things out and see where it goes but also try and keep their secret affairs hidden, since neither one could let their other lovers go.
