Chapter 8 | Everything Falls Apart
"Sod off." Hermione said quietly. "Is that the best you can come up with Potter?"
"Excuse me if my remarks aren't up to your intellect Herm-Granger." Harry replied angry.
"What makes you think I shouldn't be in Gryffindor?" Ron yelled.
Harry and Hermione glared at eachother sending sparks. "It's over Potter."
"Good." he said back his voice catching in his throat. "Great!"
Hermione turned to Ron, "And you."
"Lay off Hermione." Harry said pulling on her arm. She pulled away from him.
"Will you three stop it already!" Ginny yelled.
"Shut up." Ron said to her.
Hermione was walking to her dorm room. "Hermione wait." Harry said walking towards her.
Hermione turned. "Never ever speak to me again." she slammed the door in his face.
"This is all your fault Ginny."
"Don't blame it on her Ron."
"Stay out of it Harry."
"No."
"Don't you get it? She invited Snape to her wedding."
"Exactly, Ron, MY wedding. You have no control over who I invite to MY wedding."
"You wanna bet."
"No because you'll lose and you don't have any money to spare."
"Shut up Harry."
"Take some of your own advice Ron."
"BOTH OF YOU ARE SLIMEY GITS." Ginny ran off after Hermione. She knocked quietly.
"Go 'way." Ginny pushed the door open carefully. "I said go- oh it's just you Ginny."
Ginny nodded and sat next to Hermione on the bed. "I'm sorry." Ginny said, and she was.
"Don't be." Hermione said picking up her pillow and holding it tight. "You didn't do anything." Ginny shook her head about to reply. "No, don't." Hermione said cutting her off. "Don't apologize for dating the man you love." She said this very quietly.
"Look Hermione about Harry..."
"No." Hermione said turning away. "I don't want to hear about him."
"But..."
"No." She stood up and headed for the bathroom. "I don't want to hear any of that, 'You two are in love, you can work things out.' If he was in love with me he wouldn't have said any of those things." she opened the bathroom door. "If I was in love with him I wouldn't have said any of those things." she stepped into the room. "He just needs to grow up." she slammed the door. Ginny hung her head.
Ginny got up and left the Common Room. Everything was just going all wrong, nothing was right. It was supposed to be perfect. A story book life, where everyone was happy and everyone had someone. Ginny stomped off down the hall. She needed Draco right now. To comfort her and tell her everything would be alright. Instead she found Harry.
"Hullo Ginny." He said looking up. Ginny nodded. "Sorry about what happened back there." she nodded again. "What did Herm-"
"I don't know Harry why don't you go find out for yourself."
"She doesn't want to talk to me now."
"If she doesn't want to talk to you then she doesn't want me talking about her." Ginny said angrily, wanting to hit something.
"Well you are her friend."
"So were you until you acted like a great big git."
"I love her."
"I feel sorry for you then." Ginny said without thinking. She was angry and her mind was foggy. Harry looked up surprised.
"Why?" he asked scared of the answer.
"Because... because she doesn't love you." Ginny said turning away from him, "And I know how much it hurts to love someone who doesn't love you back."
"Oh, Ginny- - I'm sorry."
"Don't be." She turned around. "Because I have someone who won't call me names when he gets a little mad, who doesn't hold ridiculous prejudices, and loves me!" She walked towards him very angry now. "You could have given that to Hermione but instead you were everything but that. You never loved her you were jealous of Ron."
"Ginny no."
"Shut up." Ginny yelled. "If you were the big hero everyone makes you out to be you'd go apologize to her right now!" Harry stood still. "That's what I thought."
"I can't." Harry said, then he started to cry... like a child. Ginny sighed and held out her arms. He hugged her. She tried comforting him but his heart was shattered.
"Oh Harry." Ginny said laughing. "You're so stupid sometimes. Why can't you apologize?"
"Because I don't know if I love her anymore." Harry said quietly.
Ginny sighed. "Then there's only one thing to do."
"What?"
"You'll have to find someone else, and see if you feel the same with them as you do with Hermione." Ginny pulled away and patted Harry on the head. "Who knows maybe this was all for the best." She started to walk away.
"Ginny wait."
"Yes?"
"You won't tell anyone about this will you?"
"No."
"Thanks."
Ginny nodded. She felt horrible. She couldn't believe she had just done that.
"Hello." Ginny looked up.
"Draco, you scared me." Ginny smiled. At least the day isn't a total waste.
"What seems to be the problem love?" Draco said pulling her into his arms. She breathed in his scent.
"You always know when somethings bothering me." she accused. He laughed and kissed her on the forehead.
"I have to that's my job." she smiled and let herself be comforted by him for a little while.
"Harry and Hermione broke up." she said quietly. Draco didn't said nothing. "I - it's all my fault." She pulled herself closer to him.
"No it's not." Draco said soothingly. "Those two just need some time apart."
"If not for us..."
"Don't say you regret us being together." He pulled away.
"No," she said quickly. He didn't seem convinced. "Draco, I love you, I can't bear the thought of spending one day, one minute without you near."
"I love you to Ginny."
"Still..."
"I know." he pulled her close, "I know."
"Stay with me tonight." she pleaded.
"I can't."
"Please Draco. Please?"
"No Ginny."
Ginny turned away. "Well I might as well go back to the common room then."
"Bye." she left. Draco made his way down to his common room. Why is everything getting so complicated? He spotted Landrak. "Landrak."
"What?" Landrak said unhappily. "It better be some good news."
Draco closed his eyes thinking. "It is." He said finally.
"Well what is it?" Landrak said impatiently.
"Harry and Hermione broke up." Draco said slowly.
Landrak looked at him blankly. "Really?"
"Yes but you have to promise me you'll wait before pouncing on Hermione."
"I don't pounce."
Draco rolled his eyes.
"Alright."
"Promise."
"I promise."
