Chapter 11- Two Boyfriends?

Jake's POV

I waited on the big red couch. How long were the two lovers going to take? Hopefully Harry would come first, then Amy would come or they both come together. I became even angrier, (I didn't even know that would be possible because I'm already very angry) when I pictured Harry holding Amy's hand walking down the long hallways of Hogwarts. I pictured doves coming from behind and Amy in a big red dress and Harry in dress robes.

I feel like throwing something. Looking around the room I saw a vase with the Gryffindor lion on it. I ran up to it and picked it up. Lifting it over my head, I stopped. If I break the vase then people would hear and come running over. I wanted to be in the common room alone when Harry and Amy come. Slowly and with much difficulty, I put down the vase. Oh, how I wanted to throw that vase.

I went and sat back on the couch. My anger cooled down a bit. I am so bored. How long will they sit on that bench? My stomach rumbled. Oh, I never even had dinner yet. But I couldn't leave, what if they came when I went and ate? I should try and call a house-elf. If only I knew their names. Well I'll try calling a bunch of funny names.

"Um… let's see… maybe… Dolly? Pippykin? Darry? Parry? Manny? Pinky? Lilly?" None of the names worked. I needed a house-elf. "Um… Ummy? Tummy? Ok how about… Pobby? Lobby? Um… house-elf… Dobby?"

There was a loud cracking sound, then an elf, barely reaching my knees, with big pointy ears and big tennis ball sized eyes popped up out of nowhere. I gasped. I couldn't help it; he gave me such a shock.

"Ok, um… Dobby, right?"

"Yes, Dobby's name is Dobby, sir. What does you want from Dobby? Dobby will bring anything you like, sir Gryffindor boy," he asked.

"I need some food. Can you please um… grab me some?" I asked.

"Of course Dobby can. Dobby will be back with your food." Then he vanished with another loud crack.

I heard some people coming from the boys' dorm. Then I saw flaming red hair.

"What's wrong?" asked Ron, "I heard a loud crack… like someone apprating. But Hermione told me no one can apprate in Hogwarts."

"Well, an elf came. I called him for food," I said, wishing he would just go.

"Oh…" he said. "Well, bye, I'm going back to bed." He looked at me suspiciously then walked back up the stairs.

I sighed. At least he didn't decide to stay around. I went and sat down again, noticing that I was standing.

Dobby came back with the familiar cracking noise. He brought a tall glass of orange juice, a plate of chocolate chip cookies, a ham sandwich and some candy. I thanked him and he left.

I ate about 3 cookies, half my sandwich, ¾ of my juice and a couple of candies when I heard someone coming through the portrait hole. I pushed my food aside and waited. I heard footsteps. Only one person was coming. I got up and turned around to see myself face-to-face with Harry. He stopped and stared at me.

"Hello, Jake," he said innocently. I glared at him. Finally he realized I was angry.

"What's wrong?" he asked. What's wrong! Man he's good at the innocent act. I walked up to him. He stepped away from me. "Jake?" he said. I could tell he was nervous from his voice.

I pinned him to the wall. "What were you doing outside just now?" I asked.

"Jake? I was just talking to Amy," he said. I punched him right in the stomach. Wow, my hand hurts. But I can't let Harry know. "Stop! We shouldn't fight-" I punched him again.

"Jake!" I turned to the door and saw Amy.

"Look, the princess is here too," I said. "Too bad you can't save your prince. I'm going to kill him!"

"Stop!" she said. She was crying. "Why are you doing this? What did Harry do?"

"What did Harry do? Explain to me, Amy. Why do you have two boyfriends? Isn't one enough?"

"What are you talking about?" asked Amy.

"What were you doing down at the lake just know? Probably snogging his life out of him."

Amy grabbed my arm and turned me so I was facing her ugly face. She lifted her hand in slow motion then quickly slapped me. My cheek stung. I looked at her, my eyes wide. I heard a bunch of people coming from their dorms.

"What happened?" I heard Hermione say. Beautiful, gorgeous, Hermione.

"Jake, he's not my boyfriend! Just because I was hanging out with a guy doesn't mean we are in love or something. And so what if I hang out with other guys? You were flirting with Hermione. Remember how annoyed you got when I interrupted you? If you can do that, I can go out with other guys! You should trust me! Well, now you should know that I don't trust you anymore! And you know what I decided just now? I can't stand you! Didn't the kiss feel different for you? Maybe that means we… can't be together anymore. Jake… I'm breaking up with you and no apologise or promises will stop me!"

"Amy, you shouldn't make any hasty decisions-" started Harry but Amy cut him off.

"Harry, I'm sorry but this is between Jake and me. Thank you for your advice though."

I couldn't believe what she was saying. Break up? Of course I wanted to break up! But… for some reason it still hurt. Yes, if we break up I would get to be with Hermione. But then when we go back to our usual time… would Hermione want to come. Would she want to come and see her self so old? Now I feel guilty. I was only thinking about myself. Would Hermione even want to go out with me?

"Amy… why don't we talk this out? I really don't want to break up with you…"

"NO! No more talking!" she shouted then left the room. Everyone watching left too. Harry walked over to me.

"You should have listened. Amy and I were never going out. I was just giving her advice and trying to cheer her up because she was upset."

He went up to the boys' dorm leaving me alone. I just stood there and stared. I would have rather been slapped a thousand times than this. I was alone, in an unknown time. Nobody was at my side. There was no more Amy. Nobody who would always tell the right answer in every test of life. I cried. That night I never slept. I cried. I never was so alone in my whole life. I am such a loser.
