This Wasn't Part Of The Plan

Chapter Five

Whatever Happened To Viktor?

By SurferChick

A/N: Ron and Hermione have an argument. Enough said.

D/C: I don't own anything except the plot. JK Rowling, Scholastic, and people who are luckier than me own them.

"Hi," said Harry, approaching the giggling "couple" at the common room later that night.

"Oh, hi, Harry," said Hermione.

"Hey, Harry," said Ron. "Where were you after potions?"

"Cleaning up for Snape," said Harry. "I have a question for you two."

"Sure, Harry, what is it?"

"Hermione, what ever happened between you and Viktor?" he asked. Hermione's eyes widened.

"Erm…Didn't you hear, Harry?" she said quickly. "Viktor and I broke up over the summer. We're just friends now." Ron stiffened up next to her. He knew they were still dating, and still didn't like it.

"No, I didn't hear," said Harry. "It's funny, though. You said to me once that you thought you loved him. You didn't have very much of a mourning period, did you?" With that, he walked up the stairs to his dormitory.

"Oh, no," said Hermione, bracing herself for what was coming.

"Hermione?" said Ron, as calm as he could be at this point. "Could you and I go talk somewhere?"

"Fine," said Hermione. They left the common room and found an empty classroom.

"Hermione," he began.

"Ron, don't even start with me, all right?" said Hermione, frustrated. "I know I'm still going out with Viktor, but Harry doesn't have to find that out."

"You're in love with him?" said Ron. Hermione sat down.

"I don't know, Ron, all right?!" she said. It was the common start for most of their fights. "How am I supposed to know what love is? I'm only fifteen years old!"

"Exactly!" said Ron. "And our dear little Vicky is, what, thirty?"

"He's nineteen," she said in an icy tone. "And don't you dare insult him…"

"Nineteen?!" said Ron. "Do you know what's on most guy's minds when they're that old?!"

"Shut up," said Hermione, standing up quickly. "Ron Weasley, you shut up about him. I know what you're implying, and that's not what he thinks about when I'm with him."

"How do you know, Mione?" said Ron.

"Because I know him, Ron," she said. "And besides, how do you know what goes on in a nineteen year old boy's mind? Do you think the same things?"

"Of course not, Hermione," he said.

"How's Viktor any different?"

"I'm not going to have this conversation right now!" he said, walking out of the room.

"Ron!" she said. He turned around and faced her. "If we're going to make a believable couple, we need to act like one. That means no fighting."

"Right," he said. "No fighting."

"And no cracks about Viktor!"

"Fine."

"Promise?" she asked. He looked at her. 'She does have really pretty eyes,' he thought. 'Wait a minute! This is Hermione! I don't think of her like that…Must just be the couple thing catching up to me.'

"I promise to try," he said. She grinned.

"I guess that'll have to work," she said. "Shall we go back to the common room?"

"Sure," he said, taking her hand.
