CHAPTER 1
It was a week of rest at Hogwarts and most of the
students are spending their free time at Hogsmeade. Hermione was left in the common
room with a very few Gryffindors. She's kinda irritated because of the scene of
Harry and Ginny laughing together. 'They're very close now,' she thought. 'And
me? Here, reading a book upside down watching my very best friend steal my
Harry away from me.' It was very hard for Hermione to accept that Harry's
feelings for Ginny has now changed. It was like more than a friend.
"Hey!" she called out. "Have you seen Ron?"
"No," Ginny answered. "Have you, Harry?"
"Nah!" Harry said while laughing.
"Oh! How could I forget? You're very busy with each
other!" Hermione muttered.
"Hermione? Were you saying something?" Harry asked.
"Uh, I said, um, I think I just saw him went out of
this room. I'll go look for him." then she left.
Then, she found Ron coming towards her. "Ron," she
began seriously. "Can we have a walk or something outside? I want to tell you
something."
"Yeah sure!" he said happily. "Where are the
others?"
"You mean Fred and George?" she asked not wanting
to think about Harry and Ginny.
"No, I mean Harry and Ginny?" he corrected.
"Can we just go outside? I need to think."
"Whatever you say," Ron said with concern.
As soon as they arrived the gardens outside the
school, Ron asked, "What is it? Do you have any problems or what? Any fight?
Are you worried of our test? Do you miss your Muggle life? ..."
"Ron? You alright? I just want to tell you
something," she said.
"Oh."
"It just that, um, it's about your sister, Ginny."
"What about?"
"I think I feel jealous of her!" she confessed.
"Huh? About what?"
"I thought she's over with Harry? Why then is she
spending most of her time on him?"
"Yeah. She's really over with him. I just don't
know with Harry..."
"Ron! You're of no help at all!" Hermione cried. "I
think I'm in love with Harry!"
Ron's face suddenly looked serious and asked,
"What?"
Then they reached a bench and they both sat down.
'It can't be!' Ron thought. "What do you want to do
now?"
"We need to separate them!" she exclaimed.
'We? Us?' Ron thought it's better not to say it in
front of Hermione's face. "But how?"
"I don't know but all I know is that you'll help
me, right?"
(Gulp!) "I know how you feel but do you think it'll
be okay?" Ron was not worried about Ginny because Ginny really doesn't have any
feeling towards Harry anymore. He was worried of *losing* Hermione.
"I really don't know Ron." Hermione confessed. "I
think we'll just have to separate them by disturbing them."
"Yeah. That would do," Ron said.
"Come! Let's go to the common room. They're there!
Having fun!"
She stood and pulled Ron's arm and ran. When they
got inside the room, Harry and Ginny are chasing one another. Harry fell on his
butt and Ginny fell on Harry's lap. A frown was made on Hermione's face.
"Ahem." Hermione demanded for an attention.
The two blushed. They shyly stood up and said,
"Hi!"
"Ginny, can I excuse you for a moment? I want to
show you something in our room. Now." Hermione told her.
"Ok,"
They went inside the girls' dorm. Hermione just
showed her her new book. It was a book known by Muggles (A Tale of Two Cities).
"What's this?" Ginny asked.
"A famous book written by a Muggle," she told her.
"You want to borrow it?"
"Um, alright. Is it ok for you?" Ginny pretended
she did like the book.
"Yeah sure! Anytime." Hermione thought Ginny really
like the book. She was happy to know that Ginny can now spend her time on the
book and not on Harry.
She left her inside the girls' dorm and went to Harry
and Ron.

"It was great that you and Hermione are spending
more time on one another," Harry told Ron.
"Hey! Don't think some malicious thingy here, ok?
It's just that I don't want her to feel left-out." Ron replied.
"Left-out? What do you mean?" Harry was confused.
"No, I mean, I want to be always there for her."
Ron said.
"What do you think of Hermione, really?"
"Think of Hermione?"
"Yeah, as a friend or what? I think she's beautiful
and all that. A guy could ever want, you know Ron."
"Why didn't you like Hermione? If you think she's
something, then why...Ginny?"
"It's what my heart says."
"I think I know what my heart says, Harry."
Just then Hermione came. She went to Harry and she
signaled Ron to leave. Obviously, Ron was hurt or totally hurt because he just
left without saying a word.
Harry didn't notice him because Hermione grabbed
him when Ron left.
"Um, Harry, can we just have a little walk
outside?" Hermione asked sweetly.
"Ok but can we call Ron or Ginny to join us?" Harry
suggested.
"No." Hermione answered calmly. "I mean, I wanted
to ask you something."
Harry nodded. They left the room and she began,
"Harry, what do you think of our little Ginny?" She wanted to exaggerate Ginny
as being little.
"Little?" then Harry laughed. "She had grown up
already! She's a lovely lady you know."
"Oh." Hermione didn't know what to say. "I think I
need to be left alone." Then she ran and left him.
"Hermione?" Harry called her up but decided not to
follow her. Then he went to the boys' dorm to told Ron about it.
"Serves her right," Ron said to himself after Harry
told him what happened.
"What?" Harry asked.
"Nothing. I mean, she's just so annoying!"
"But I thought you like her? You know, what your
heart says?"
"Not anymore!"
