Fighting for Her

A/N: At the first chapter we saw Ron going to the dungeons, and Harry and Herm going to the forest because of their detentions. Let's see what will happen.

Chapter2: Jealousy and the end of a Friendship

Herm and Harry reached Hagrid's hut, and he was already out with Fang, his dog.

"ye'll have ta lok for the Golden Squirrel right? Let's go!" he seemed really cheerful to have them there. But also reminded them that if they found it, they'll have to send some yellow sparkles to the sky, and red if they were in danger. Pointed which way they had to go through and went by the other one, quickly followed by Fang.

As they entered the forest, they could feel how dark and cold it was. It was really gloomy since there was no moon nor stars this night. Harry was leading and Herm was almost shivering.

Herm's POV (thoughts are in black)

She took his arm though she knew she shouldn't… but there was a GOOD excuse for it, she felt cold and was scared.

"God, he's not shivering…not even scared…"

"Is it you Herm?" he asked, maybe worried about her.

"y-y-es" she was REALLY shivering. She had left her cloak and her sweater in her dorm.

They didn't talk much more. But he kept asking if she was Ok. She always lied she was, till she started sneezing. Then, Harry put an arm around her shoulders.

"Maybe Ron told him to look after me… Gosh, I can take care of my own! But being like this…" she couldn't repress a smile.

After two hours of being like that, I mean, Harry's arm around her, they saw yellow sparkles in the sky. That meant Hagrid had found the golden squirrel. They went to the spot, still with his arm in her shoulder.

"Hope Ron never gets heard of this…"

"I 'ave foun' the golden squirrel… let's return to the castle…" He said, showing them the animal. It's fur glowed and lit the spot they were. But the glow was fading. The animal was dead.

Harry's POV (thoughts are in black)

He left Herm at the common room. She stormed up to her dorm. She had been shivering the whole time they were in the forest till he put an arm around her shoulders.

If he gets to know, he's gonna kill me for even touching her girlfriend. I was supposed to TAKE HER of her. Nothing more…Gosh *sigh*…He's SO jealous…

He went up, to his dorm. It was late night, and everyone was sleeping. He went to the bathroom, and when he returned, he saw Ron, standing by the window and looking at him with some sort of death glare.

"I need to talk to you" he said, in some sort of deep tone.

"How did he get to know about it… besides, it was NOTHING… I was taking care of her, as he told me to."

Harry felt sort of guilty, and tried to convince himself he hadn't done nothing wrong, but he wasn't successful

"But in another place" Ron said, as in an afterthought.

They went to the Common room, which was deserted and the fire of the chimney had long ago died. There were only ashes left from what had been a warm, merry fire. The place looked dark, gloomy.

"I know both of us want the best for her do we?" he started the conversation that seemed to end in something not very good.

"What is he talking about? I hate when he gets this jealous…"

"Herm? Well yes, of course I do… she's…"

"I know she's more than your friend"

"But Ron…she's YOUR girlfriend. I would never cheat you with her and you know it…." Harry said rising his eyebrows

"But I've seen you… you both…millions of times… she's not happy with me the way she's with you."

"Ron…nothing's going on between both of us Get it?"

"Don't lie to me!" Ron yelled. "I know it"

"Ron, you've gone mad! You're imagining things that ain't real!"

"Then… if you say it's not real…get away from her… I never want to see you with her again Got it?" he finished in a tone Harry thought it sounded it was a more than a warning… Ron had gone too far this time.

"Ron if you're are threatening me I swear…" Harry was REALLY fed up with Ron's jealousness.

"What? Are you gonna kill me or something? I'm shaking!!" Ron said in a VERY sardonic tone.

Harry and Ron were about to punch each other when suddenly they heard some steps. They came from the girl's stairs. It was Herm. She was still in normal clothes and had a big interrogation sing in her eyes and face. She went towards them, who had already put down their fists and they had "angel" faces, their hands at the back.

"So it was you who where yelling… Could you please shut up and go to bed for God's sake?" she said before yawning.

"I'll walk you to yours SWEETIE" he said, taking her from her waist and looking at Harry more than her.

"I'm gonna KILL him…How dares he to threaten me!? I gave him the guts to tell her and now… He thinks I'm cheating…Gosh… he's sick of jealousy."  Harry thought as he punched his pillow. It was more than 3 o'clock by now and he was still furious with him.

But someone opened the curtains around his poster bed. It was a girl, dressed in a white night gown.

"What the heck are you doin…?"

"shhhh… I can't believe him… what he said to you…"

"How did you…?"

"I heard both of you. The whole conversation. Till you started to fight"

"Gosh… I would've killed him…" he said with an evil grin

"It's not the idea…"she had a mischievous grin on her face

"But he thinks we're cheating on him…"

"He gets very jealous of you… he hasn't changed. Remember at 4th year?" she dropped that grin, although Harry thought it looked really beautiful with it.

"Yup…and now you should really go to bed…"

"I know, just I wanted you to know you're still my friend…"

"Shut up would you?" Seamus' voice could be heard from the other side of the room. He sounded pretty annoyed.

"I better go… I don't want to know what will happen if he catches me round here…"

"What will happen TO ME if he catches you round here you mean…"

He knew what was she talking about. If she was caught with him… come on Ron couldn't do anything to him. He was just trying to sound threatening, brave… Or not?

But all of sudden, she knelt, and kissed his cheek.  She just muttered good-bye and left. Harry, instead was sort of confused, as the time in the Platform 9 ¾ in his 4th year…in his 5th…in his 6th… It had that effect on him. The same every time. Curious thing…maybe Ron wasn't JUST imagining things…

The end for now.
