Chapter 14. So wrong
The entrance hall was filled with busy students getting ready for the long awaited Hogsmede trip. Everyone was excited about it, except for Harry and Ron.
"Bloody hell! Why did this happen Harry? It used to be just the three of us. You, me and Hermione. Now it's just you and me." Ron complained.
"Because you fell in love with Hermione and she fell in love with you. Then I fell in love with your sister and nothing's gone right since." Harry answered.
"What is love anyway?" Harry muttered.
"We may never know." Ange said, walking over to them.
"Hey Ange, you look nice."
"Really? Thanks!" she said nervously.
"Of course she looks nice, she's going out with Neville today remember?" Ron whispered.
"You know I can hear you." Ange said irritated.
"You know it's true." Ron said.
Ange smiled. "I'm not going to let you bother me Ronald, nothing can ruin my day today. Where's Hermione anyway, has she spoken to you yet?"
"Err..no, I haven't seen her all week. It's like she's avoiding me."
"After you told her off in front of the whole school? Why on Earth would she do that?" Harry laughed.
"Still, she should be here by now, I'll go find her." Ange said.
"Don't bother, I'll bet anything she's going with Vicky." Ron said with distaste.
"Au contraire Ronald, you never know what'll happen." Ange said sweety.
"Au contraire? Since when do you speak French? And I do know what will happen. She'll go with Krum and live happily ever after with her precious Vicky."
"Er..Ron, I think she was trying to hint that Hermione might go with you." Harry said.
"Thank God someone's thinking here. And for your information Ronald, I've been speaking French since I was five if you've already forgot-" Ange stopped and stared at something.
Harry and Ron both turned to see what it was.
Neville had just entered the entrance hall and was headed down the giant staircase.
"Oh my gosh! He's here! What do I do? What do I do?" Ange panicked.
"Well for bloody starters, you might want to go talk to him." Ron said sarcastically.
"Right." Ange blushed. "I'll see you two later."
"Look at that Harry." Ron said as he watched Ange run off to greet Neville. "How is it that Neville gets a pretty date for Hogsmede and we each can't even get a bloody girl to go with us?"
"We could get girls to go with us Ron, just not the two we want." Harry said, disappointed.
-----
"Hermione I thought you were going with Ron!" Ginny whispered.
"I just can't ask him! Oh Ginny, I simply can't!" Hermione whined.
"Yes you can Hermione Granger! You weren't put in Gryffindor for nothing! Now I demand you to go ask him this instant. I'll take care of Krum." Ginny demanded.
"Oh Ginny I-"
"Hermione if you do not go ask him this instant I swear I'll cast "Augmenti" on your potions essay!"
"I spent weeks on that! I haven't even waterproofed it yet!" Hermione protested.
"A large waste of time if you ask me, and you'll waste even more time if you do not go to my brother and ask him to be your date right now."
Hermione sighed. "Alright." She said, and walked over to Ron.
"Ron, can I speak to you for a minute?" Hermione said nervously.
"Anything you want to say to me can be said in front of Harry." Ron said, crossing his arms in a very Hermione-like way.
"Actually I think Mcgonagall is calling me. I'll see you two later." Harry said quickly walking away. He would rather not get caught up with them, especially if they had another argument. It wasbound to happen.
Meanwhile, Ginny was having problems of her own.
"How do I tell a famous quidditch player that he's being dumped?" Ginny thought as she walked over to Krum.
"Viktor Krum?" she said. He looked down at her.
"I'm Ginny Weasley, a friend of Hermione Granger." She said.
"I haff met you, you are the sister of her friend Ronald right?"
"Yes, and I've come to tell you that she's very sorry that she can't go with you to Hogsmede today. She said you're just friends anyway, and you know she loves Ronald. So why don't you try going out with someone whose heart isn't taken. I know. It sucks to have your heart broken but trust me, you'll get over it." Ginny said unsympathetically.
Viktor sighed. "I do not think I vill ever understand girls. Yesterday ven I kissed her goodbye she did not say a word to me. I do hope that she vill be happy vith Ronald though."
"You did what!"
"Yes, I know it was wrong though, because she told me that Ronald had just told her that he loffed her. But I could not help it, and I apologized after." He said.
"Ron said what!"
----------
"He did what!" Ron fumed.
"He-he kissed me, but I promise you Ron that that was all, and I want to be with you and not with him!" Hermione said quickly, but Ron was no longer listening nor was he anywhere to be seen.
"Oh no! Ron don't!" Hermione yelled as she ran towards a very purplevRon. But it was too late. Hermione covered her face with her hands.
"Ooof!" she heard Krum say. And when she opened her eyes, she saw a very scared Ron looking down at a very pained Krum. She had to smile at this though, because she saw that Ron hadvfinally realized that Viktor was twice his size, and that all Ron had succeeded in doing was giving Krum a bloody nose.
Neville and Harry ran over and began to help Viktor up but Neville, being very clumsy, slipped on the staircase and landed on top of Krum. Causing them both to fall down once again.
"Students! What is going on here!" Professor Mcgonagall yelled as pushed Colin, who was taking pictures furiously, aside.
"Professor!" he squeaked, full of excitement. "Neville..on top…Krum…Ron.. jealous..talk..Harry..Hermione…fight…" he said, breathing heavily and unable to make up a proper sentence.
Harry closed his eyes and wished that he could hex Colin for making it all sound so wrong. No matter how innocent the whole incident was, after hearing Colin's version it just sounded so...wrong.
"Mr. Longbottom get off of Mr. Krum this instant! This type of behavior is going to cost you tw-"
"No professor!" Hermione said desperately. "It was my fault! I told Ron that-"
"So all of this is your doing miss Granger? Very well then, I will deduct no house points for now, but Ms. Granger, Mr. Longbottom, Mr. Potter and Mr. Weasley, you three are forbidden to go to Hogsmede today with your fellow students. And as for you mister Krum, come and follow me to the hospital wing." She said sternly.
"But profess-" Neville protested.
"Another word and that will be twenty house points, each." She said, and walked off with Krum.
"I swear, being headmistress has made her bonkos." Ron said. Hermione turned around angrily.
"This is all your fault Ronald! Now Neville can't go with Ange to Hogsmede, Harry cant go either, and you and I can't go!"
"Did you want to bloody go that much?" Ron said.
"No. But that's besides the point! You only think about yourself don't you!" She yelled, and stormed off.
"How can she say I only think about myself? I punched Krum for her didn't I?" Ron said to Harry, puzzled.
"Err..no Ron, that was to make you feel better."
"Shut up."
--------
"Err..hi Ange." Neville said looking down.
"Hi Neville." She said sadly.
"Look, I'm sorry I can't go. I really am." He said.
"So am I, but it's not your fault...raincheck?" she said. Neville looked up, and smiled.
"Ok, I owe you one." He said.
"Next week."
"Next week." He repeated.
"I'll see you."
"Likewise." She said, and he walked away.
Ange walked over to Ginny.
"Fancy a trip to Hogsmede, just the two of us then I suppose."
"Sure." Ginny said, and they headed off.

For those who don't know "Augmenti" is a spell that casts water in case you're wondering. Much more excitement in the next chapter, trust me. Please take time to review and thanks a bundle!
P.S : I am editing the whole story again since I have not updated in a year or so, so each chapter may differ in grammar or the small but important things like that. Thanks and happy reading!
