Chapter Eighteen: First Heartbreak


"Is it just me or is everyone staring at me?", Harry blushed as he took a seat next to Ron in the common room.

"You're the talk of the school Harry", Ron laughed.

"So I've noticed", Harry kept his head down.

"Ugh", Hermione sighed frustrated, "am I ever going to win a game of chess against you Ron?"

"Are you two listening to me?", Harry finally asked.

"Oh Harry...I'm sorry", Hermione laughed, "what did you say?"

"Honestly, could you at least acknowledge my presence?", Harry asked.

"Calm down Harry", Ron looked up at his friend, "someone tense about something?"

"No!", Harry exclaimed lying through his teeth.

"Harry what's wrong?", Hermione asked concerned.

"He probably heard some of the rumor's Malfoy's spreading about him", Ron replied.

"Rumors? What rumors?", Harry spoke up.

"Oh...oops", Ron shut his mouth.

"Is that why everyone's staring at me?", Harry asked.

"Harry...Malfoy he's been spreading around a rumor that this isn't easy to say but since you returned he started some rumor that you um...that your gay", Ron frowned.

"I'll kill him", Harry turned red, "I have a girlfriend how stupid are people at this school!"

"Nobody believes it of course", Hermione spoke up, "They just think it's funny Malfoy would sink to such a low"

"I'm still going to kill him", Harry sighed, "Why am I always the laughing stock of the school?"

"That's not true, usually Ron is", Hermione laughed.

"Guess your right", Harry looked around the room, "I think I'll just go to bed I'm tired. Goodnight guys'

"Night Harry", Hermione and Ron replied in union.

Harry quickly walked up the stairs hoping to avoid stares of other people having the same idea as him of going to bed.

He sat down on his bed when he remembered, "My wand...shoot I must have left it downstairs"





"Ron we've got to talk to him", Hermione sighed.

"He can't find out Hermione...he'll be crushed. And besides he'd hate us both", Ron reminded her.

"We can't ignore it Ron. There's something between us. Something that I don't have with Harry", Hermione replied.

"He's my best friend Hermione. I can't steal his girl", Ron felt his face coming closer to Hermione's.

"Ron...", Hermione suggested, "let's just see...if there's anything between us. Maybe there isn't. Maybe it's just a feeling"

"Are you saying what I think you're saying?", Ron asked.

"Harry's sleeping and if nothing happens then he'll never know", Hermione nodded.

"Alright", Ron smiled as he felt his lips touch Hermione's.

"Hermione?", came a soft spoken voice.

Hermione and Ron turned from each other and look to where the voice had come from. Hermione gasped when she saw who it was, "Oh my god..."

"Harry wait!", Ron yelled as he watched Harry flee down the rest of the stairs and through the common room out into the corridor.

"Ron...what have we done", Hermione fought back tears.

"I'll go after him"





"What just happened?", Harry whispered out loud to himself as he leaned against the entrance way to the common room.

He felt as if someone had ripped his heart out and smashed it on the ground. So he and Hermione hadn't gone out for a long time. It was his best friend that he saw kissing her. Which made the pain one hundred times worse.

"Harry?", Harry heard Ron's voice.

"Leave me alone", Harry whispered loud enough for Ron to hear.

"We need to talk...about what just happened", Ron sighed.

"I don't want to talk to you", Harry stood up.

"Where are you going your just going to get in trouble", Ron answered.

"As if it matters", Harry muttered as he started to stray away.

"I'm sorry Harry", Ron replied knowing he couldn't fix things by saying sorry.

Harry knew the last person he could talk to right now was Ron. Underneath his broken heart he knew was anger. And he didn't want to do anything he'd regret. So he did the next thing that came to him mind. Something in which he already knew was quite stupid.

"Professor Lupin!", Harry knocked on the wooden door.

Moments later he saw the door open, "Harry? What are you doing up?"

"I want to go home", Harry almost felt on the verge of tears.

"Come on inside Harry", Remus said pulling Harry inside, "Now, last week you wanted to be anywhere but home. What's going on? You're really starting to confuse me Harry"

"I came down to the common room", Harry finally got out in between breaths, "And Ron and Hermione...they were kissing"

"Oh Harry...", Remus frowned, "I can't believe that...are you sure it was Ron and Hermione?"

"Positive", Harry lied down on a small couch sitting up against a wall. He'd never been in a teacher's room before.

"Sorry kid but a broken heard doesn't get you out of school", Remus grabbed a blanket from a closet, "but your welcome to stay here for the night"

"I feel so used", Harry answered.

"That's understandable", Remus placed the blanket over Harry, "You Harry are experiencing your first heartbreak"

"So I really can't go home?", Harry asked.

"No, you really can't go home", Remus laughed.

"Then instead I'll just stay here for the rest of my life", Harry moaned.

"You do that and we'll send you back to your godmother", Remus joked.

"She isn't that bad", Harry tried to convince himself.

"Harry it's me you don't have to lie", Remus laughed.

"She's nightmare", Harry laughed along.

"Harry I know you don't want to hear this but, we've both gotta get to bed. We both have classes tomorrow"




Morning came to quickly for Harry. He groaned when he woke up the sound of a door closing. Professor Lupin had made sure he slammed the door hard enough to wake Harry.

After getting dressed with my reluctance, Harry proceeded with the dreadfully expected walk to the great hall for breakfast. It ended up being far worse than he ever expected.

"Hey Potter did you go gay because you lost your chance with girls?", came a cruel voice.

Harry looked to see where it had come from, "Malfoy"

"I believe I asked you a question Potter", Draco walked closer to Harry.

"Yes and I've been meaning to ask you about that Draco. Why is it that your spreading rumors about me? Is that the low level you've sunk to now?", Harry tried to remain calm.

Draco glared at him before continuing, "Quite the attitude, didn't they ship you off to fix that? It's no wonder Granger came to her senses. Not that Weasley is much better than the likings of you"

"Shut up right now Malfoy", Harry burned with anger.

"Why should I?", Draco grinned, "It's so much fun playing with you Potter"

"Leave me alone", Harry started to walk away, "I see that saving my life has caused things to be the normal again"

"Well now it wouldn't be much fun around here without our very own entertainment channel", Draco sneered.

"That's it!", Harry yelled, "You have so crossed the line Malfoy"

"Oh...scared Potter", Draco laughed.

Neither Draco nor Harry himself could've predicted Harry's next reaction. Harry hadn't stopped to think. Instead he reacted on his anger. He shoved Draco out of his way which wasn't smart.

"Don't you dare shove me Potter", Draco grew angry pinning Harry against the wall.

"Get off of him Malfoy", Ron's voice came through clearly.

"So you do care about Potter then? It was hard to tell after you went after his girl", Draco grinned.

"Get out of here Malfoy", Ron shouted.

"Don't have to say that twice", Draco laughed walking through the entrance doors to the great hall.

"Harry...we've gotta talk. What happened to you last night!", Ron rushed toward his side.

"There is absolutely nothing for us to talk about", Harry snapped back, "and it is none of your business where I went last night"

"Yes, it is. You're my best friend Harry...and I could kill myself for what I did", Ron frowned.

"Maybe you should've thought of that a little sooner", Harry tried to walk away.

Ron however wasn't giving up. He grabbed Harry's arm and held him back, "Listen to me Harry I'm sorry. There is nothing I can do to make up for what I've done. That I know, believe me. You've got to believe me", Ron pleaded.

"I'm sorry...I just can't", Harry ripped his arm away and ran inside the great hall.

Ron watched Harry step through the doors and knew this time, he'd lost his best friend forever.
