"Hermione! What the hell is going on??" He roared as he bounded up the last
step.
She sat on her bed, drying her eyes with a tissue. "Ron, relax!" she hissed,
obviously not concerned. "We had to 'break up' sometime, didn't we? Besides, we've
accomplished our goal. He's asked me out to Hogsmeade next weekend. Aren't you
happy for me?" She practically glowed.
This time Ron wasn't enchanted by her smiles. This time he was angry. How
could she play with his heart like this? "WHAT?! You will NOT go to Hogsmeade with
him! You have to go with me, Hermione! You're MY girlfriend, not his." His face
flushed with anger.
She looked up at him, shocked. "Ron, this was just pretend, remember? You can
stop acting now. Everything is okay, we can go back to being friends. We're not
ACTUALLY dating, you know that." She smiled at him again.
He couldn't take it. Her smile set him off. "Hermione, it's not pretend for me. I
don't expect you to understand me. You just used me in your stupid plot. You're a
heartless bitch!"
His mouth hung open. Even he couldn't believe what he'd just said. Hermione sat
there, looking as though she had been slapped across the face. His skin tingled, and he
thought for a moment that he'd cry. But no, he wouldn't show his emotions in front of
her. She couldn't hurt him anymore.
He quickly stalked out of the room, and rushed down the stairs, getting away from
her gaze.
