Hermione just stood there, unable to move. She stared into his eyes. He was holding a letter and a bouquet of flowers. It had been raining that day so he was drenched. They just stood like, staring at each other for what seemed like forever.
"Is it true?" Harry asked, his voice cold as ice
"Yes Harry but-"
"Don't ever come near me again. Both of you." He said looking at Ron and Hermione with cold eyes. Eyes filled with Betrayal.
"Fine! Who needs you anyway?" yelled Ron.
But Harry paid no attention to Ron. He just kept staring at Hermione. Hermione looked away. She couldn't look at his eyes. The hurt that she had cause him.
"Is this why everyone was glaring at you and why no one talked to you for the past two days?" Harry asked his voice still cold as ice.
Hermione looked down at her feet and replied with a simple "Yes".
Harry stared at Hermione. Ron had taken her and she stood beside him. It was then that Harry realized it really was true. The girl that he loved had betrayed him. His best friend had put on an act to be his friend just so he could be close to Hermione.
Harry walked towards Hermione and handed her the letter.
"Tell your parents that I won't be able to stay at their house of the summer like I said I would." He handed Ron the bouquet of flowers. "Looks like you have a better use for these than I do." And with that he left.
Hermione looked at the letter and started crying. He had sent a letter to her parents asking if he could stay with them over the summer to keep Hermione company. Hermione had always told Harry that she was lonely at her house over summer. Her parents were always at their dentistry so they could never make time for her.
How could she have thrown away 6 years of love and friendship away like that?
"Well who needs him? Look now's it's just about us right?" Ron asked with a grin
He put his lips on her rather forcefully and for that reason it wasn't as good as Harry kissing. He was gentle and never pushed. If she didn't know better, she would say that this was his first kiss. It was horrible. Nothing like Harry's.
"I'll see you tomorrow okay?" And with that he left.
Hermione walked over to Harry's bed and laid down in it. She wanted him to hold her. To comfort her. He would never leave her crying like that. He would comfort her and tell that everything would be fine.
After what seems like forever, she got up and walked to her bed. She cried herself to sleep. She had destroyed the one thing that meant the world to her. Her relationship to Harry.
She woke up at her same time and went to expecting Harry to be there. When he wasn't there, she remembered what had happened last night. She was disappointed that Ron had not woken up for her, but she brushed it aside. She read her book as usual and heard footsteps and turned around to see Harry.
They stared at each other for a while. His eyes were red from what appeared to be crying last night.
"Look Harry-"was all she got out before Harry interrupted her
"I meant what I said last night. Don't come near me ever again." And with that he left.
She could no longer contain her tears. What had come over her to use Harry like that?
She slowly walked to down to the Great Hall only to run into Neville.
"Oh Hermione, I wanted to apologize"
"What for?"
"Harry told me that you were put under the imperious curse and that's why you acted all Slytherin like. We all kind of want to apologize" he laughed
Hermione couldn't move. Harry had told everyone that she was cursed because he knew what people thought of her. How could he do something like that for her, after what she had done to him?
She walked into the Great Hall and received no glares which was nice. She looked over and saw Harry sitting at the far end of the table by himself. She was about to go over and comfort him, when she felt an arm around her waist. She looked to her side and found Ron.
"Look at that loser, sitting by himself. Whatever, who needs him!" and with that he sat down and started inhaling food.
After breakfast Hermione and Ron walked out of the Great Hall together. When they came to the intersection she looked over and saw Ron looking at some 7th years with huge eyes. Not to mention his drooling. She sighed and told him that she would meet him at Lunch. He didn't even respond and just kept staring at the 7th years.
She didn't even see Ron or Harry the rest of the day. Harry was expected, but Ron had not once walked her to her classes or waited for her like Harry would. He wouldn't even sit with her while she studied. He would go and play wizarding chess with someone or go with Seamus and Dean to stare at girls like idiots.
This is how two weeks passes. Two horrible weeks of not seeing Harry. She couldn't take it any longer. She needed to find him. Just as she was leaving her room, she ran into Ron.
"Hey where are you going?" he asked.
"I'm going to look for Harry"
"Who cares about him? Listen I was thinking that these two weeks have been fun and all, but I think we should go on to the next step as couples don't you think?"
"Ron, were going to talk about our relationship after I get back from looking for Harry." And with that she tried to leave only for Ron to catch her wrist and through her own the bed.
"Harry, Harry, Harry. He's gone Hermione! Now it's just you and me." He put locking charms on the door. And moved closer to the bed.
"If you don't want to move to the next step I'll make you move to the next step." It was then Hermione realized what he was going to do. He was going to rape her.
He threw off her clothes and was taking off his own clothes when the door burst open and she heard a "STUPEFY!" threw at Ron. She heard a thud and looked at the door. But before she could see how it was she started to close her eyes and drift off to sleep.
Hermione woke up to find herself in a hospital bed. She looked around and found Harry next to her, fast asleep. He was so cute when he was asleep.
"He saved you, you know." Said a voice to her other side. She turned around and found Ginny.
"Ron tried to rape you and he burst through the doors and stopped him before he could do anything to you." She continued.
She shuddered at the memory. She had never been so scared in her life.
"Also it might interest you to know, that those random feelings you felt for Ron this year? They were cause by a love potion that night we had cocoa. My mom and Ron put them into your drinks. I'm really sorry." She continued.
Of course! It all made sense now! A love potion is what caused her to act the way she did. A love potion caused her to destroy her friendship with Harry.
"Just explain that to him and he'll understand and forgive you. He hasn't left your side since you came here."
"How long HAVE I been here?"
"About 4 days"
"WHAT?"
"Well you were out because of the love potion mixed with a lust potion. They both did a number on you."
Hermione looked back at Harry. It was all coming back. Her love for Harry not Ron.
Harry started to stir and woke up.
They stared at each other for a while. Ginny in the mean time slipped out of the hospital wing to give them some privacy.
They kept staring at each other and Harry opened his mouth to say something, but was interrupted by large BOOM!
Ginny ran back into the Hospital Wing with a scared and frantic look on her face.
"It's Voldemort! He outside attacking the school!"
