"My Heart Will Go On" Chapter 6: Piss-off Friends, Boring Classes, & Star-
gazing
**************************************************************************** **
The next morning, Hermione woke up bright & fresh from a good night's rest. She decided to take a quick shower before going to classes, since it was only 6 in the morning. Luckily Lavender & Dean weren't up yet, so she didn't run into them after she put fresh robes on & went to brush her hair & teeth. Dean was the first of the other two to come in. He had morning hair, which was messier than usual. Hermione just chuckled. "What?!" he exclaimed. She replied, "Look in the mirror." He laughed too after seeing his hair. After that, Hermione went to get her stuff together so Dean could get a shower.
After getting her school bag together, she met up with Dean & Lavender to head to breakfast. They soon met up with Seamus, Parvati, Neville, & even Harry & Ginny. Harry said that Ron was mad at him & Ginny too & wouldn't speak to them. They all laughed as they headed to the Great Hall. Once in there, they took their seats. Ron came in after them & sat on the opposite end from them. "He never gets over his anger quickly, does he?" Parvati exclaimed as they noticed him giving them all an evil glare. "Don't worry, he'll come around sooner or later," Ginny reassured them, "He's just stubborn." They spent the rest of the time listening to Hermione, Lavender, & Dean telling them about their common room & rooms. They were shocked as they listened to them. By the end of breakfast, they received their schedules.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Alright, Charms!" Dean exclaimed happily. All of his friends chuckled. "What?!" "Nothing," they all said in unison. Dean looked over his schedule & saw that he had Charms first with the Ravenclaws, then double Magical Creatures with Slytherins, then lunch, then DADA, & finally History of Magic with the Hufflepuffs. The best part was that he had all of his classes with his friends, including Hermione. 'At least we don't have Potions today,' Dean thought to himself as he & the others got up to leave. That's when he was hit in the back of the head with a syrupy pancake. "What the-?!" "You deserved it Thomas." He turned around & looked at a sneering Ron. "Why did you do that Ron?!" "You stole all of my friends Thomas! Now you're going to pay." "He's not stealing us Ron. We have to get away from you, you great stubborn prat." Hermione was once again standing up for Dean. He couldn't believe it. "Why are you standing up for him 'Mione?! I'm your friend, not him." "Because you're being a jerk, & he is my friend." "Fine, be that way Granger. You'll be sorry. *turns to Harry & Ginny* You'll be sorry for stealing my sister Potter. I thought you were better than that Ginny." Ron stomped off, leaving Ginny close to crying & Harry about ready to kill Ron for saying that about Ginny & making her cry. As they headed to Charms, Dean held Hermione back in the corridor & said, "Thanks again Hermione." "About what?" "For standing up for me again." She smiled. "Its no big deal Dean. Ron's just acting like a stubborn prick right now. He'll turn around." "Its cool to know that we're friends." He now smiled at her. "Yeah...it is." They then quickly caught up with their friends, now leaving Dean to think about Hermione & the possibility of her liking him...finally.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 'Jeez today was boooooooring!' Hermoine exclaimed to herself as she plopped onto one of the indigo squishy chairs closest to the fireplace in the prefect common room. She could of fell asleep in class. They didn't have any homework; just long speeches from all of their teachers, even from Hagrid & their new DADA teacher, Professor Newton. Ron still wasn't talking to them, & Hermione didn't want to talk to him after what he did today at breakfast. She thought he was better than that...but now she knew he wasn't. He always acted like a prick when something didn't go his way. She started thinking about other things though, like if she liked Dean or not. He was a cool person, & she was getting closer to him, even if it was only the first day at Hogwarts again. She felt an attraction between him & her, & that's what troubled her. She didn't want to get hurt, plus, he was her friend & she didn't want to lose her friendship with him. She was just confused with everything. Then, the one person that was on her mind sat on the floor in front of her.
"Hey Dean," she greeted happily, giving him a smile. "Hey Hermione. Weren't classes absolutely boring today?" "Oh yeah...they were." "I know. I almost fell asleep during DADA, & I really did sleep during History of Magic." She chuckled at that. "You can't tell me that you didn't sleep during classes today Hermione," Dean stated, looking at her, trying to find an answer. "Maybe a little...," she answered. "Ah ha! Even someone as smart as you can sleep in class!" "Hey!" They both laughed, then were talking for a couple more minutes when Hermione said, "I think I'm going to go up on the balcony now." "Want company?" Dean asked, with a tiny bit of excitement in his voice. She smirked. "I supposed so...just don't try anything funny." "Who? Me? Never," he smirked, trying to put on an innocent face, but failed. Hermione just chuckled & said, "Alright, alright. Come on." "I'm going to beat you!" Dean then went running up the staircase. "Oh no you won't!" Hermione laughed as she followed him up to the balcony.
A few minutes later, they were calmed down, looking up at the stars. "Aren't they pretty?" Hermione breathed, getting up off her lounge chair & walking to the gold railing. "Yeah," Dean agreed, walking next to Hermione. "Hermione?" "Yeah?" "Why were you crying yesterday?" He turned his head to gaze at her. Hermione sighed, finally ready to tell him. "Ron mentioned something about Victor Krum, my ex-boyfriend, who dumped me this summer. I was upset because Victor picked Quidditch over me, & Ron called him crooked nose Krum." She sighed again, looking towards the forest. "He meant so much to me." "Did you love him?" She never really thought about actually loving him. She always thought she was close, but she didn't know. "I don't think I was." "You can't say that. Its either yes or no." "Then no, I think, even though I was close one time. But other than that, no."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dean was actually relieved that Hermione told him the trust & that she didn't love Krum. He did feel bad for her, so he hugged her lightly. "Don't worry, you got me, Lavender, Seamus, Parvati, Harry, & Ginny here for you." "Why?" "Because we all care about you." Hermione looked up at him & asked, "Really?"He smiled. "Really."
After that, they both went to bed. Dean sat by his window, already in his PJ's. He kept thinking about Hermione. She felt close to love once, & that person dumped her. He couldn't believe that Krum loved Quidditch more that Hermione, & that someone could just leave her like that. If he ever had Hermione, he wouldn't do that to her...because he cared for her, & he really did. Just then, he saw a shooting star, & quickly made a wish. 'I wish that Hermione will be mine someday.' He then went to bed, thinking about his dream girl, Hermione.
