It All Started.

Chapter 9

Becca and Donna





Hermione knocked on the door to Hagrid's hut at the very edge of the Dark Forest. She was greeted by Fang's loud barking. The door opened and Hagrid welcomed them in. Both she and Harry seated themselves at the over large table in the middle of the hut.

"Where's Ron?" Hagrid asked them.

The two looked uneasily at each other.

"Well." Harry started. "It's a LONG story. I think it's safe to say we're not Ron's favorite people right now."

"Oh?" Hagrid pursued and poured some tea for the three of them.

Harry sighed and told his friend the whole painful story. When he was finished, Hermione said,

"That's why we don't think he's coming."

Hagrid looked troubled. "So.. Ron's a Slytherin now, eh?"

Harry nodded. "That what we think. I have detention tonight with Snape and Ron. It's gonna be a disaster. I lost my best friend." Harry sighed and looked down.

"You're not the only one who lost a best friend, Harry!" Hermione burst out, frustrated because it seemed he was only thinking of himself. The two looked up at her in surprise. "This has been just as hard on me as it has on you, you know!" She stood and ran from them, tears brimming in her eyes.

"Great." Harry exclaimed. "Now my girlfriend hates me." He put his head on the table.

"Come now, Harry. She's just upset."

Harry scoffed. After a few moments, Hagrid cleared his throat.

"I reckon it's about time for your next class, eh Harry?"

Harry stood miserably.

"Goodbye Hagrid."

"Take care then, Harry."

Harry started walking towards Hogwarts castle. His next class was Divination, the only class he didn't have with Hermione.

"Well, this is going to be fun." He said to himself sarcastically. "How am I going to die today?" He sighed heavily.

"Password?" The fat lady asked.

"Pididal." Harry exclaimed darkly. The portrait hole swung open and Harry entered the Gryffindor Common room, only to see Ginny trying to talk Ron out of moving to Slytherin.
