Disclaimer: I don't own anything. It all belongs to J.K. Rowling. (Although sometimes I wish I owned Harry, j/k (strike the 'sometimes'))
I really hope you like this. I know it's short, but keep in mind I'm updating again today, but it was necessary to keep this a cliffhanger. Please forgive me (Puppy-dog eyes). And please review.
Chapter Nine: The Break-Up
PREVIOUSLY:
They just sat there for a long time staring at the stars in the sky. Hermione turned to Harry and said, "Harry, what about Cho?" Hermione asked this, as if almost knowing what his answer would be and frowned. Harry turned and smiled at her. He looked in her eyes and said something Hermione would have NEVER expected. "Cho who?" Harry asked and kissed her again. They sat there for so long they fell asleep in each others arms.
Ron woke up and looked to Harry's bed. He wasn't there. He yawned and figured Harry had just gone downstairs. He walked downstairs and looked for Harry. He yawned again and looked in the living room. No Harry. He walked back up the stairs, very confused. He knocked on Ginny's door to see if either Ginny or Hermione knew where he was.
Ginny answered the door. "What?" Ginny asked in an annoyed tone. "Have you seen Harry?" Ginny shook her head no. "Can I talk to Hermione?" Ginny shook her head no again. "Why the hell not?" Ron yelled at her. Ginny backed up. "She's not here." Ron scrunched up his face in confusion. "Then where are they?"
Back in the tree Harry and Hermione were still asleep. They fit well together. What would everyone think? Probably 'it's about time'. They aren't going to be very happy when they wake up, best to enjoy it now.
Ginny shut the door and Ron was about to protest when the door opened. Ginny was now dressed and had her hair done and everything. Ron raised his eyebrows at her and the looked in Ron's room, Fred and George's room, the bathrooms, the kitchen, the living room.
Finally, with no where else to look, they decided to just go sit in the tree for awhile. Ginny climbed the ladder first and when she got up to the top she gasped. She knew that they should be together, but they were just fighting. She was just staring at them when Ron got to the top.
He furrowed his brow, okay, he still had a little bit of a crush on Hermione. He walked over to them and was about to wake them up when Ginny shouted 'NO!'. She immediately put her hand over her mouth. Harry woke up, looking very tired. His mind was racing, 'how the hell did I get up here?' He completely ignored everyone else and thought 'since when was my bed this crowded?' He turned over and saw a soundly sleeping Hermione.
All his thoughts came rushing back to him. Whether or not Hermione was here now, he was mad at her. He didn't know why. He just wanted to be away from her. In the background he heard 'Harry?' He climbed down the ladder and ran for the house. Hermione woke up and panicked. 'Where the hell am I?' She asked herself. She stood up and felt her nose, oh great another bloody nose. She was about to speak when she just blacked out and fainted.
Harry found himself in the woods behind the Weasley's house. He looked around, not knowing where he was. He didn't even remember waking up. He spun around when he heard something, but realized it was just a bunny. He suddenly felt a twinge in his nose and reached up. A bloody nose. He only had time to groan when he passed out.
Sorry this chapter was soooo short, but it was necessary to be able to leave it at a cliffhanger like this. I'm sorry, but please review. I'll update later today, it's my ½ birthday. YAY! w/e anyway, please review. I promise they'll get to Hogwarts eventually.
