A/N: Ok, there is something I forgot to tell you guys. Ok first, I made a mistake about chapter one. This is based on HP&HBP and I completely forgot that Percy and his family was having a misunderstanding, and I accidentally added him when Mrs. Weasley was calling them all for dinner. Second, Fred & George, again this is based on HP&HBP and I, again, completely forgot that they were in their shop at that time. And thirdly, what Ron smelled from the Armortentia is absolutely fan made. J.K. Rowling didn't say anything of what he smelled and she did not also state that Ron smelled dusty old books, Mrs. Weasley's cooking or Hermione's hair/unusual perfume. So here it is. chapter 6 prt. 2
Harry was Quidditch captain this year. Ron got his Cleansweep Eleven for Quidditch. After being made a prefect, Ron was given the chance to get something he wanted. Last year, Ron tried-out for Gryffindor Quidditch Keeper. But, unfortunately, failed at being keeper, but was on the team. "He IS good...It's just that he lacks confidence." Harry would say to Angelina Johnson, last year's Gryffindor Quidditch Team Captain, everytime she talks about Ron's failures. This year, Ron was going to make all things better. He was going to try-out for Gryffindor Quidditch Team as Keeper. He'll probably try his best, too.
Hermione was walking down the hall to Gryffindor Tower when she saw Lavender and Parvati, talking and giggling. "Yes, I do like Ron Weasley...That's why I'm going down to the Quidditch pitch...He's trying out as Keeper!" Hermione heard Lavender say. They walked away giggling. Annoying AND pathetic! Hermione thought to herself. Hermione left the Gryffindor Tower wearing her jacket and her Gryffindor scarf. She went down to the Quidditch Pitch, hoping that Ron would do better and would get in.
Ron looked around nervously. He saw a lot of people watching. His stomach lurched as if someone was trying to get something out of it. Ron saw Lavender and Hermione on the same row. But a mile away from each other. Lavender waved at Ron, Ron who was paying attention at Hermione saw that she was very annoyed at her. There was alot of them who tried out for a position. The Chasers became; Kati Bell, his sister; Ginny Weasley and Demelza Robins. The beaters were Jimmy Peakes and Ritchie Coote. On Ron's opinion, they didn't have the skill that Fred and George have. Harry's Seeker, of course. And the last ones were Keepers. After five applicants finished, for position of Keeper of course, it was McLaggen's turn. He saved four penalties out of five. On the last one, Hermione was completely watching over McLaggen, seeing if ever he gets the fifth. Her heart was pounding inside of her shirt to her jacket. She was nervous that what if McLaggen got the fifth. Without any choice, Hermione held a hand to her mouth and whispered "Confundo." McLaggen shot off to a different direction and missed the fifth, in which where the crowds booed and laughed, too. Hermione grinned. Ear to ear. Ron was the last applicant and before he shot off, there was a voice from the stands which cried "Good Luck!". Hermione turned around and saw Lavender. . Hermione thought to herself. To Harry and Hermione's surprise, Ron saved one, two, three, four and five! Quite impressed by herself, she started going down to the pitch, to congratulate Ron and Ginny. When she got there, she saw McLaggen talking to Harry. "Give me another try." McLaggen said. "No." Harry snapped. "You've had your turn. Ron saved five and that's it. He's keeper." Harry finished. McLaggen walked away, saw Hermione and winked. Hermione turned pink and finally Ron and Ginny came. "You did brilliantly, Ron!" Hermione shouted. Ron was pleased to hear this from Hermione, that he turned quite red. They all settled back to the castle. Ron talking about the the chaser's penalties and Hermione half-listening half-daydreaming, gazing at Ron with so much interest she ever had to see in him.
Lavender walked away from the pitch, half-angry half-pleased. "That Hermione Granger," she mumbled to herself walking down the hall to the courtyard to meet Parvati. "Always around Ron. Haven't she had her time?" Lavender told herself. She was angry now. She was pushing first-years out of the way to the courtyard. She saw Parvati and sat next to her. Her face was red as a tomato. "What's wrong with you, Lav?" Parvati asked. "Hermione Granger!" she told her. "What about her?" Parvati asked, curiously. "She's always all over Ron! I never get to talk to him!" she shouted. "Well, that's because, Lav, you're too shy and you won't even try to talk to hi-" Parvati didn't get to finish her sentence. "What do you mean I'm too shy, Parv? What do you mean I don't try? I do! It's just that Hermione Granger is always with him!" Lavender snapped at her. Parvati went silent. "What does she have that I don't?" Lavender asked her friend, but it didn't seem as if Parvati was listening. She was staring at the lake. Lavender knew there was something on her mind, answering Lavender's question. But Parvati didn't speak. She didn't want her best friend to get mad at her. All she knew was that Lavender was jealous of Hermione.
McLaggen walked along a corridor. He was angry at Harry and Ron for not getting in the Quidditch Team. Something happened out there that he didn't know. It's like someone confounded him. As he walked along the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom, his mind was on the girl he saw at the Quidditch pitch. He was off to Cares of Magical Creatures with that oaf Hagrid. He was walking down the courtyard when he saw her. A girl with big bushy brown hair was talking to two boys. The other one had flaming red hair and the other jet black hair with glasses. McLaggen walked as fast as he could in range. He was pushing people out of the way, first-years, Gryffindors or Slytherin. He was so mad that he couldn't even concentrate on his studies.
It was the first Quidditch match of the year. And, Gryffindor won. Everyone was celebrating. Ron, who was Keeper, saved as many goals as he could due to Harry's faking of putting Felix Felicis on Ron's pumpkin juice. Everyone was cheering loudly, for Ron. Hermione was grinning like an idiot. Harry, was too. Until, when Lavender went in front of Ron. Lavender pulled Ron to her and they started snogging in front of the whole crowd in the common room. Hermione's grin turned into a frown as Lavender and Ron started swinging in the middle of the crowd. Hermione turned back and walked away, walking straight to an empty classroom. Tears was falling from her face. She was bawling her eyes out. Sobbing and crying, trying to get hold of her breath. She was hurt. Badly. She took out her wand and muttered "Avis" and a flock of birds came out of her wand, flying around her head. She was wiping her face by the end of her sleeve when the classroom door opened. It was Harry. "Hey, are you ok?" Harry asked, seeing his friend's face full of tears. "Yeah. Just practicing Charms." Hermione replied, starting to cry again. "They're-er-pretty good." Harry said, trying to cheer her up. Harry was frowning now. It didn't work at all. Hermione just continued crying half-hiccoughing half- crying. Harry sat beside her. He put his arm around her shoulders, supporting her if unless she falls down. Harry held her hand. They sat there for a minute. Everything silent, except for Hermione's sobs and the birds around their heads. Until Hermione's voice piped up. "So t-this i-is h-h-how it f-feels," she asked Harry, staring out of nowhere. "wh-when y-you s-e-ee D-Dean and Gi-Ginny to-gether?" Harry nodded. She was crying, as hard as she could. She couldn't take it. Hermione was going to straighten up when the the classroom door opened again. It was Lavender and Ron. Lavender was giggling, non-stop. Ron was smiling, until they saw the two. "Oops!" said Lavender in a kind of sarcastic voice. "I think this room's taken..." she told Ron. She walked out, looking for another room. Ron just stood there staring at Harry and Hermione. He turned to the flock of birds. Hermione stood up. She was crying, again... She was holding it. She whispered "Oppugno" and the flock of birds started attacking Ron. Ron went for the door. Ran as fast as he could and slammed the door. Hermione fell on her knees. Harry held her shoulders. He saw tears streaming down from her eyes to the floor. Harry made her sit up. She was bawling her eyes out. Crying as hard as she could. Hermione couldn't take it. Harry couldn't too. He couldn't bear seeing one of his best friends suffering like this. Harry pulled Hermione up and forced her up to Gryffindor Tower and asked Ginny to bring her to her dorm, to settle herself dow. Harry couldn't believe it. Hermione...and...Ron...How...? Harry asked himself the same question all night. He was concerned for both... Especially Hermione.
A/N: Ok. So that's it. Trust me, it turned rubbish... But if ever it goes rubbity-rubbity boo, thanks for reading! XD
Oh and the Last paragraph about Hermione crying. Well, don't blame me, but I imagined her like that in the books. XD
