Hermione woke up the next day feeling much better than she had the night before. Ginny had made her night very relaxing and helpful. They stayed up all night doing each other's nails, hair and telling stories. Ginny's were hilarious. Most of them were about when all the Weasley kids were little. She said that Ron (when he was little) would run around the house naked with only a "cape" tied around his neck yelling "I can fly, I can fly, I can fly!" Hermione tried to imagine it without laughing but it was impossible. The whole night they just were rolling around on their beds crying because they were laughing so hard.
Hermione immediately got up after she awoke, something that she did not do to often, only when there was something on her mind. She pulled on some jeans, put on a shirt and slipped on her new slip on shoes that she loved and went down to the Common Room. When she got down the stairs she saw a strange sight. Ron, Harry and Seamus were all sitting in front of the fire whispering to each other, but so quietly as if they didn't wasn't even each other to hear.
"Heeeeeeey guys….what'ch ya talking about over here?" she dared to ask, Though she wasn't sure that she even wanted to know.
"Auugh, nothing. Just nothing. Nothing at all." Said Ron clearly startled.
"Yeah, nothing," said Harry "don't worry 'Mione it was nothing. Just the usual, quidditch.
"Oh. So you wouldn't mind if you joined you boys then? It wouldn't be a problem?
"Uhhh no! Not at all! That wouldn't be a problem would it guys?" Seamus wanted to keep their cover as well as he could. Even if the other two bimbos couldn't.
"No, no that's cool 'Mione." Ron wanted to make her feel as at home as he could. In one way more than an another though.
"Good, cause I would hope that you weren't talking about, oh I don't know, me!"
"oh no, we weren't of course not," Harry said kind of in a low voice. Though they all said that they were not talking about her she knew that they were all fibbing her.
"Well carry on with your conversations then." She walked over to Seamus and snuggled up in his lap. She felt so right when she was there. Like she fit in with him. Like they belonged together. But did they? 'Come on Hermione,' she said to herself 'you need to figure this out. Soon!'
"Right 'Mione? Don't you agree?"
Oh crap. Harry was asking her a question. And she had no idea what they were even talking about anymore.
"Oh, yeah, right sure!" she thought that maybe that would keep them believing that she was paying attention.
"Were you even paying any attention 'Mione?" Ron wanted to know. He had this stern look upon his face. Like he was a bit concerned. Oh she wished that he would pain for her. That would be her only wish. That one day he would love her to.
"Ahh, no not really. Sorry guys. My minds been a little pre-occupied lately. I have this essay that I turned in about a week ago and I still haven't gotten it back yet and I'm pretty anxious to know what I got,"
"Oh, well at least that sounds like the normal mellow Hermione that we know and love. Back to your normal self, eh?"
Seamus was so caring. Why would she even consider wanting to give him up so easily? But what about the times when all he does was treat her like shit and act like a bitch? He was never like that before when they first started dating. Only really recently did he act like this. And it scared her. During these periods he wouldn't talk to her, never answer his cell phone when she called (she had triggered it to work in the castle so they could talk after curfew when they had to be in their rooms) or return the fifteen messages she would leave, and he would only make plans to hang out with Dean. Not anybody else. It was the weirdest thing. But after a couple of days went by everything would be back to normal. Like nothing even happened. Now was one of those times, when everything was clam and normal. But how long was it going to last?
"Yeah I guess you could say that," addressing Seamus's question, "I've just been stressing about exams and being really tired. Nothing to worry about, ok you guys?" She knew as long as she could convince them that she was ok the better.
"Yeah, well, I guess I can see that. Well as long as your ok now….." a huge grin spread across his face. He looked Hermione in the eye and then dove down and kissed her senseless, until both of them heard a discussed voice:
"Ummm, yeah. Ewww. Go and get a room, we're still here you dopes!"
Ron. He was totally jealous and both him and Seamus knew it though neither would admit it to the other that deep down inside the resented each other because of Hermione. Because if they did it could cause problems in the long run. Maybe even a triangle that nobody anted to have between the three of them.
A/N: This chapter I wrote the majority of it in my chorus class when we had a totally bogus sub for the day so sorry if it isn't great but I hope to come up with some good stuff since the holidays are coming and that means VACATION!
Woot, woot!
