I had to make a great effort to be able to stand still as everyone cheered, clapped their hands and called Ron's name in choir. George and Fred was holding him up in the air above their heads and I giggled at the sight of how enthusiastic both of them were. Although I actually wanted Slytherin to win, I can't help but to feel at least a bit happy for them.
They lowered him down and let go of him. As soon as Ron's feet touched the ground he was attacked by Lavender. Well, maybe not literally attack.. She started snogging him, but whatever. I immediately looked at Hermione who stood beside me, I know that she has feelings for Ron. She hasn't told me, but as her friend I notice things like that. Tears started to form in her eyes and just a second after that she turned around and ran away from there. George was on his way towards me but I gave him a glance, and he understood.
I made my way to the stairs and slowly walked down to Hermione. She was sitting at the bottom of the stairs, sobbing. I sat down beside her and put my arm around her.
''Hermione..'' I whispered. ''If he just brushes off his feeling that he has for you and goes and kiss Lavender instead, then he's not worth your tears.''
''He doesn't have any feelings like that for me. I thought so at first, but now I know that he clearly doesn't. How do you even know how it feels? You haven't gotten your heart broken like that, have you?'' she said and I sighed.
''I know exactly how it feels.''
''How? George haven't broken your heart, have he?''
''No, not George.. But a boy named Liam have. I went through a really hard time back then. He did such terrible things.. Things that a boy never should make their girlfriend go through. But I had a friend who helped me through it. Anastasia. She really helped me a lot, and I realized that I probably wouldn't have been able to handle all of the things that he did if she wouldn't have helped me. That's why I want to try and help you through this, because everyone needs a little help sometimes, even if they don't want it.''
''That doesn't sound fun at all.. I had no idea, I'm so sorry Delia.''
''It's fine, really. I don't care about him anymore.'' I said and she hugged me, then both of us were silent for a while, but of course Lavender and Ron just had to come and ruin everything.
''Oops.. I think this room is taken'' Lavender said in her squeaky voice as she clung on Ron. I noticed that Hermione started to get tears in her eyes again. I stood up and walked towards them in a threatening way with my wand in my hand. I didn't even have time to walk a few meters before they had ran away, apparently they were afraid of me. I walked back to Hermione and smiled a little.
''Are you ready to go back to the common room yet?''
''Yeah. Thank you Delia, I really appreciate this.'' she gave me a smile and we walked back to everyone else.
[George's POV]I suddenly felt a pair of hands over my eyes as I sat in the couch.
''Guess who it is?'' the person said and I already knew who it was.
''Don't you think I know who my girlfriend is?'' I asked and pulled her down so that she sat on my knees. She giggled at my response.
''How did it go?'' I asked her.
''Um, she's fine now, at least I think so.'' she said and she seemed sad.
''Is something wrong?''
''What? No, of course not!''
''Delia, I know you better than that. What's wrong?''
''.. I just thought of some old memories that I'm not so happy about, that's all.'' she sighed, and I knew that she wasn't going to tell me exactly what those memories were about. I wonder what could make her look so sad and upset, I haven't seen her like this before.
