1 The White Tiger
Ch. 1: "…apparently our Hermione likes to bottle up her emotions." –Lavender
'This is so frustrating! I can't stand this anymore. 'Hermione do this.' 'Hermione can you help me with this.' 'Hey what's the answer to the potions homework?' ugh! If I get asked one more question I'm going to scream. Hermione was sitting in one of the chairs in the common room a book in her lap and she was staring out the window. Tears were forming in her eyes. I can't believe I did that in front of Malfoy today. That was so embarrassing. It doesn't help that Ron had to make it worse. Making fun of me like everyone else. Harry's no help either. He doesn't say the things they do, but he doesn't say anything about them, unless it's Malfoy. If I weren't so smart then I'd probably never have anyone talk to me. Ron and Harry probably wouldn't even come near me…She sighed and looked out the window. It was beautiful outside, but she wanted to finish her homework first. Typical Hermione wanting to do her homework on a day like this. I am so pathetic. She glanced out the window to see Harry playing a game of Quidditch with some people from different houses. If only he knew how I felt…maybe he understands more than the others. Maybe that's why he isn't so cruel. Maybe I'm just trying to cheer myself up wishing he'd like me. I can't believe how stupid I'm being.
Lavender walked into the common room. She had forgotten something and she came back to get it. She stopped noticing Hermione sitting by the window. She walked over to her. "Hey Hermione, what are you doing up here on a day like this? The sun is shining the birds are singing…Hullo…anyone in there?" Lavender said waving a hand in front of Hermione's face.
"Huh…oh hey Lavender. What do you want now?" Hermione asked annoyed.
"You don't have to be so mean. I just said hi…you were kind of dozing off. What's wrong?"
"Nothing."
"If you're sure…" Lavender started walking away when Hermione burst into tears. Lavender quickly ran over to her and put her arms around her trying to calm Hermione down. "What's wrong!?" She asked worryingly.
"Everything!…I always…put up with the same crap everyday. People calling me names, asking me questions…about their homework. I would usually...ig…ignore them or help them out. Everytime Malfoy called me mudblood…I would walk away like I didn't here him, but I do…and its been eating at me." She didn't care that she was spilling all her thoughts out to someone she didn't get along too well with. She wouldn't have cared who it was she just needed someone to hear it. "…No one ever gives me a break. Ron today told me I was to bossy…and I was a bookworm. I knew he didn't really mean it, but I couldn't help it…I almost started crying…I ran and then I ran into Malfoy…he called me mudblood and started calling me all sorts of things. I promised my self I would never cry in front of him, but today…today…" Her tears consumed her and she put her head in her hands.
"I am so sorry Hermione. I didn't know." Lavender said feeling guilty.
"It's all right…no one does…but…that's not even the worst part." Hermione said through her tears.
"It isn't!?" Lavender asked astounded.
"Do you really want to know the worst thing in life?" Hermione yelled angrily.
Lavender was shocked at her tone, but shook her head yes.
" The worst…the worst is falling in love with your best friend and his best friend is in love with you!"
(I was going to leave it like this, but…it's too short, I don't usually like my fics short so you are all lucky ^_^)
She once again burst into tears. Lavender hugged Hermione and tried to calm her down. A few minutes later Ginny, Alicia, and Parvati came in all chatting happily. Lavender looked up at them and smiled ruefully. The three girls stopped and started asking questions.
"What happened?"
"What's wrong?"
"Is she Ok?"
Lavender shook her head and asked Hermione, "Hermione? Is it all right if I tell them?"
Hermione nodded, she had calmed down, but the tears still streamed down her face. "But…but let me leave first OK? I'll be in Moaning Murtle's bathroom if…if anyone wants to know…" She said walking away.
"OK, there must be something wrong if she's like this." Ginny said.
"Well, if you girls shut up you'll know." They quickly quieted and sat down surrounding Lavender. "OK. Well apparently our Hermione likes to bottle up her emotions. And well Ron and Malfoy said something to her today and she snapped. I came in here and she was in la la land. When I asked what was wrong she burst into tears. After that she told me something that was quite surprising."
"And that was…" Parvati asked.
"Well…she said the worst thing in life is falling in love with your best friend and his best friend falling in love with you."
Alicia shook her head and spoke up. "So that means it involves Harry and Ron, but we just don't know in what order."
"Yep…that really sucks." Lavender said.
"It's Harry." Ginny said.
"What?" The three girls asked.
"It's Harry." She repeated.
"We heard that, but what's Harry?"
"She's in love with Harry and Ron is…well he likes her he doesn't necessarily love her." Ginny said.
"How do you know that?"
"Besides the fact that it's obvious. I am Ron sister and a very close friend to Hermione."
"Does Harry like Hermione?" Parvati asked.
"I um…don't really know that. But what I do know is Ron will get over Hermione if his other crush makes the move first."
"And who might that be?" Lavender questioned.
Before Ginny could answer someone knocked on the door. Alicia got up to answer it.
"Oh! Hey Harry!" The girls shut up right away.
Harry looked at them strangely and then said, "I was…er...Ron and I were wondering if you knew where Hermione was?"
"Oh um…" Alicia turned to look at the girls and they all nodded. "She's in Moaning Murtle's Bathroom."
"Why?" Ron asked.
"I think maybe you should go see…" They both started walking away.
"Wait!" Ginny yelled. They both stopped and turned around. "Um uh…hold on a sec." Ginny turned around and whispered to Lavender. "You like Ron, right?"
"No…er...I mean...ye...no…uh…" She said blushing.
"Can you get Ron to go with you somewhere?"
"I uh...guess so."
"Ok."
Lavender gulped and turned to Ron.
"Hey Ron, could you um…would you uh…takeawalkwithmeplease?" She said quickly.
He had a confused look on his face, but several seconds later he said, "Yeah, but what about Herm…"
"I'm sure she'll be OK if Harry goes." Lavender replied.
"Alright." He said as they walked out of the Griffyndor Common Room.
"Um…uh…I'll just go find Hermione now." Harry said looking at the girls strangely as he walked out as well.
"Ginny…do you think that was a good idea?" Alicia asked.
"Well, not really. But you've got Harry and Hermione that like each other, but don't do anything about it because of Ron. Then you have Lavender who likes Ron, and she is the other one that Ron likes…so why not give it a shot?"
"Ginny, Ginny you'd do this to your own brother?" Alicia said shaking her head.
