Chemistry
Chapter 2
Jealousy
To clarify something this is the 5th year of school. Sorry I forgot to mention it in the first chapter!
Harry- For the next few weeks I didn't really hang out with Hermione and Ron. I was kind of a loner. I went to the library and made excuses to them about how I had Quidditch practice and couldn't hang out. I couldn't stand to be around them knowing I wasn't with Hermione. I knew that they were an "item" and I didn't want to get between that. It would be so weird going on a walk and see them holding hands. I couldn't do it so I just avoided the subject all together. They never even told me that they were going out.
Ron- These past few weeks have been strange. I haven't done anything with Harry and I think he's avoiding me but I have no clue why. I have been spending a lot of time with Hermione and I can't say I don't like it. She laughs a lot at my jokes and makes me feel good. But we still are friends. The topic of us being "together" hasn't come up. I'm hoping she will bring it up.
Hermione- I have been spending a lot of time with Ron lately. He is such a sweetheart and so nice. He is such a good friend but I have to tell him. I'm not exactly attracted to him. He is such a good friend I couldn't go out with him. It would be to weird and I know if I did I would break his poor little heart right open and we wouldn't be friends. I'm just going to have to break it to him tomorrow. Hopefully he won't be too mad.
~ the next day ~
After Transfiguration, I went to see Ron in the Gryffindor common room. He was playing a game of wizard chess with Seamus.
"Excuse me, could I please talk to Ron?"
"Sure," Seamus said and went off to talk to other friends.
"Ron we need to talk. I know we've been having a lot of fun lately and you're so sweet and funny but I really don't see this heading anywhere but better friendship. I'm not saying we shouldn't be friends but our friendship now is the strongest it's ever been and I don't want to ruin that over a little crush. Do you understand?"
"Yeah, that's fine. I was thinking the same thing. I was going to break it to you later today but."
"But nothing. Everything is settled and I'm glad we see eye to eye. Well I'm going to go to the library to talk to Harry. I feel like I haven't seen him in ages!"
"I'll come too!"
"I think we should go one at a time. For all we know he could be mad at one of us."
"Ok. See you when you get back."
With that I went up three staircases to the library and found Harry at a table alone in the back.
In a whisper I said, "Hello Harry."
"Hi."
He said it fast and quickly went back to reading. He didn't even look at me. The tone in his voice had hatred in it.
"What are you reading?"
He raised up the book so I could see the title.
Best Brooms in the world
"Is it interesting?"
He shrugged his shoulders.
"Harry, I don't know what's going on but why are you not talking to me! Did I do something wrong? I haven't had a civilized conversation with you in weeks. All you seem to do is stay in the library and go to Quidditch practice. Tell me what is wrong!"
"Why isn't your boyfriend here?"
"What? What boyfriend do I have?"
"Come on. Give up the act. I know you and Ron have been seeing each other. It's out in the open now. You don't have to act!"
"I've never been seeing Ron! Where did you get that idea in your head!"
"A couple weeks ago I was coming from Quidditch practice to join you two for a picnic when I saw you hugging him and that wasn't any hug. I could see he had asked you out."
"I'm going to tell you the truth! He did ask me out but I said I would rather be friends. These past few weeks we have become each other's only friend because you haven't been there! Why! Just because you saw us hug? You never even talked to us about it! Why?"
"Maybe I was jealous! Maybe I've liked you for a long time Hermione! How would you know!"
"Harry, I didn't know."
"I know you didn't."
And with that he slammed his book close and walked out of the library.
I followed after him and in the hallway I pulled on his robe to slow him down.
"Why didn't you tell me this before?"
"Because I didn't know how to tell you."
"Harry we're best friends you should be able to tell me anything!"
"Well I told you now!"
"Harry we need to talk about this! You just can't walk away!"
"Hermione I have to tell you something. Words can't always express what you feel. Actions express that. I can't always talk to you about everything! I have to take charge!"
With that Harry kissed me. Right out of the blue. I'm ashamed to admit it was my first kiss. It wasn't the perfect mood but it was the perfect kiss. It was soft and quick. I thought Harry would stay but he stampeded off down to the common room.
I was left standing in the hall mesmerized my the kiss.
