Harry and Hermione woke up extra early the next morning and searched the entire Gryffindor common room. After two hours of fruitless searching it was time for their potions lesson. "Come on Hermione," Harry said dragging Hermione out of the common room, "You know how Snape gets when we're late."
"I know I just can't believe I lost it," she replied distraught, as they walked up to the potions door.
"What exactly did you write in there?" Harry asked, "I mean it can't have been that bad."
"Well…" Hermione began to say, but a gang of Slytherins who were walking up to Harry and Hermione talking and laughing loudly interrupted her. They were now next to the potions door.
"He is the love of my life," Ron quoted. Everybody in the Slytherin group laughed loudly. Hermione's face grew to a strange shade of scarlet.
"Oy," Draco said wiping tears of laughter from his face, "Quote page ten again Ron. That one is the richest." The Slytherin group stood directly in front of Harry and Hermione now.
" 'I get lost in his beautiful luminescent green eyes as we kiss. His arms folded around me protecting me from everything. I swear I would melt if they weren't holding me in a standing position.'" Ron quotes. " 'He kisses me again more passionately this time.' Oh Draco hold me," Ron says dramatically as he acts out the scene with Draco.
"Ron I didn't know you were like that and with Draco I mean I wouldn't be surprised that Draco is a bit crooked but you Ron," Hermione tries to play it off like what they say didn't affect her.
" 'His hair is so casually windswept as we sit under the big oak on the grounds studying and every once in a while he steels a kiss.' (At this Harry realizes that they are talking about him) 'It falls into those captivating eyes.'" Ron pauses for dramatic effect.
"Hermione," Pansy laughs, "I really don't think much of your writing. You know with you being a book worm and all I would think you would write better but I guess I was wrong!"
" 'He completes me,'" Ron goes on after Pansy finishes, "He is my other half." Hermione looked like she was about to burst into tears.
"Ron shut up you filthy git," Harry yelled. Ron looked startled, it was the first time Harry had actually called him by his first mane since he transferred to Slytherin. This had a powerful affect on him; he looked at Harry, who returned the look with furry in his green eyes and then at Hermione who had slightly bloodshot eyes and streaks of tears dripping down her pale skin.
"I…I…" he began, but Draco cut in. "What is your problem, scarface?" But Harry didn't even appear to have heard Draco; he was looking at Ron as if he had never seen him before.
After a few moments looking directly at Ron he said, "I don't know this new you Ron."
Ron was still lost for words. "Please Draco," Hermione began, "Give me back my diary."
Harry and Ron were still staring at each other; both at lose for word, both missing each other, but neither saying sorry. "No, I don't think I will," said Draco glaring at her; his eyes resting on the tears running down her chin, "No, I think I might sell this to the Daily Prophet. I am sure Rita Skeeter would be only too happy to have it published." This had caught both Harry and Ron's attention.
Hermione wailed. "Okay Malfoy. You've had your fun," Harry said angrily. "Now it is time to give the diary back."
"What is going on here?" Snape asked his face sticking out of the door.
"Malfoy and Ron stole Hermione's diary, Professor," Harry said looking at Draco with disgust.
Snape looked from Draco to Hermione and then rested on Ron, "Well Mr. Weasley is this true?"
Ron looked at Harry and Hermione and then a t Draco. "…Um… no professor." Hermione cried out in disbelief.
Harry looked at Ron with disappointment, "He is lying Professor!"
Snape looked at Harry and smirked then turned to Ron, "Are you lying to me Mr. Weasley?"
Once again it took Ron a few minutes to get the words out, as if they were some huge burden on him to say, "…no…professor," Ron replied looking shamefully at the ground.
"Well, Mr. Potter. You have made all these students late to my class by falsely accusing them. I will be forced to take 50 points from Gryffindor. Mr. Malfoy you can give them their required detention." With that Snape turned and walked through the door.
"I think one months worth of detentions for you," he pointed at Harry, "and you mudblood."
"You dirty bastard," Hermione screamed.
"Would you like to make it two months?" Hermione got quiet. "That is what I thought," Draco replied as Hermione walked through the potions door and slammed it. Draco and the rest of the Slytherin group followed Hermione through the door, but Ron and Harry stayed behind.
"How can you do this?" Harry asked Ron. He could feel his eyes filling with tears, but he would not cry in front of Ron.
"I…I'm so sorry Harry," Ron did look genuinely sorry.
"How could you do this to Hermione? To me?"
"I know Harry."
"And after all we have been through together! Just because Hermione and I start going out and you get pushed to the side a little bit…"
"Harry I know! It was a really selfish thing to do…"
"And all I have done for you…"
"HARRY I KNOW," Ron yelled interrupting him. "Look Harry… see the thing is…well the thing is…" but before Ron could finish Harry embraced him in a hug.
"Ron I know it is hard for you, but you can still do the right thing. Give Hermione her diary back!"
"Harry," Ron said letting tears fall down his face, "Harry I missed you." They were so close that Harry could feel Ron's breath on his cheek. Then Ron did the unthinkable he leaned in, his lips brushed Harry's.
"Ron!" Harry backed away shocked. "No…No this can't happen. Ron I thought Hermione was joking." Harry shook his head all he could do now was go to potions before he got into any more trouble.
