"My Heart Will Go On" Chapter 14: Spying
**************************************************************************** **
Hermione & Dean were inseparable ever since the ball. They would spend hours on the balcony, staring at the sky together. Lavender didn't know what happened the night of the ball; all she knew was that Dean & Hermione looked...different...when they all headed back to their rooms. She wasn't really paying attention to them since she was with Seamus. She also noticed Ron giving them daggers, but didn't know why. The rest of the break went well, except Dean & Hermione hardly hung out with them, just with each other. Lavender finally had it; it was the day before school would start again & Dean & Hermione were off somewhere...again. She was tired of being alone, so she went to the Gryfinddor common room, where she saw Seamus sitting by the fire by himself, Harry & Ron playing Wizard Chess, & Ginny & Parvati reading something. She went over to Seamus & hugged him from behind. "Hey sweetheart," he muttered, still looking into the fire. "What's wrong sweetie?" "I'm worried about Dean & Hermione." He turned his head to face her, a look of worry on his face. "They hardly talked to any of us. That's not normal for Dean, & Harry said its not normal for Hermione. We need to do something." He stared back into the fire, Lavender following his gaze. Then, Harry said, "I'll be right back!" They watched him as he ran up to the boys' dorm room, & ran back down with a piece of old parchment in his hand. "Come here," he whispered to the others as he went to where she & Seamus were at. "Harry, that's just an old piece of parchment," Parvati said, looking at it in disgust. "It just looks like an ordinary piece of old parchment." He took out his wand & muttered, "I am up to no good." (I'm pretty sure that's what you say) Suddenly, a map appeared; it said the Mauraders' Map. You could see all of Hogwarts on it, including secret passageways. There were also little dots labeled with names moving around it. Lavender was in shock as Harry said, "It shows you where everything is at & where people are." "What are we going to do with it?" Ginny asked curiously. Ron replied, a very small smirk going onto his face, "We're going to find Dean & Hermione & see what they've been doing." "That's spying!" Parvati gasped. She still didn't forgive him about what he did to her at the ball. "Don't you guys want to know what's been with them lately?!" Ron exclaimed, "This is the only way." Relucently, everyone, including Lavender, agreed & made up a plan.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
She had to warn them. If they didn't know, then they would be ruined. Ginny, a Weasly & Harry's girlfriend, did know what happened to Hermione & Dean. She promised she wouldn't tell anyone, not even Harry, but she had to stop them from finding out. The days during break, Ginny would look out the window & see those two together, looking into each other's eyes. It was so sweet. She wished she weren't such a wimp; even though she & Harry were a couple, he didn't know she loved him. She really did, but she was too scared to tell him. Hermione said to go for it, but she just didn't know. When they came up with the plan, Ginny made sure she was in the group that went to see what was up with those two. It would be her, Harry, Seamus, & Lavender. When they had to change in black clothing & their cloaks, Ginny quickly scribbled an owl to Hermione to warn her, but she had a feeling she wouldn't read it, but hopefully she would. What everyone was going to do was look at Harry's map & find where they were, which was in the Forbidden Forest, & go under Harry's Invisability Cloak & hide so they could listen to them. Ginny didn't like the idea at all, but had to play along so they didn't suspect anything. Finally, they left, Ginny hoping Hermione got her owl.
She had to admit, she loved being this close to Harry as the four of them were under his Invisablility Cloak to go towards Hermione & Dean. Finally, they were entering the Forbidden Forest & heading to the little river in there. As they kept walking, they heard laughing, then silence, more laughing, talking, silence, & more laughing. It sure sounded like Dean & Hermione. At last, they saw them. They were sitting on a rock, fit for two people to sit on, Hermione leaning on Dean & his arms around her waist. He was whispering to her in her ear, & she let out another giggle. Ginny never saw Hermione so happy in her whole life. The four of them softly came to the ground in a good clearing to see them & watched them. Ginny ended up leaning on Harry, & his arms made their way around her waist. She felt very weird, but in a conferting & loving way. She could tell he was worried about Hermione, but she felt him relax as he saw her very happily with Dean. Then, the talk rose a bit so they could hear what they were saying. Hermione turned her head so she could see Dean's face & said, "Isn't this beautiful Dean?" "Of course it is, love." He smiled, then continued, "Especially when you're the one sharing this view with me." They smiled at each other, love clear in their eyes. They were silent for a few minutes, then Dean exclaimed, "You know that I love you, don't you Hermione?" It was her turn to take his head into her hands & she said, "I've never been more sure about anything in my life. I love you more than I've ever loved anyone before, & I'll always love you." They smiled, then kissed passionately.
The four friends smiled, & decided to leave them be. They wouldn't have known they were there, but as Lavender was getting up, she tripped over a stone & sent the four of them flying to the ground, the cloak flying off of them. Hermione & Dean gasped, & came over to them. "What are you guys doing here?!" Dean demanded, apartently very mad. "We've been wondering what has happened to our friends & decided to see what you two were-." "You guys were spying on us," Hermione said to-the-point, very mad. "We didn't mean it that way Hermione," Lavender tried to explain, "We were worried sick about you two. We just wanted to know if you guys were alright." "Does it look like we're alright?" Hermione demanded, then made a turn onto Ginny. "I thought you knew better Ginny." "But Hermione-," Ginny started, but Hermione cut her off. "I can't believe you guys." "Me either," Dean agreed angrily. The two then stalked off, hands entwined. Ginny couldn't help it- she started to cry. Harry saw this & took her in his arms. "Shhhhh its alright Ginny. They'll get over it." "You don't understand. I knew," she admitted fearfully. "You what?!" Seamus exclaimed, "You mean you knew about this?! You should've told us!" "I couldn't! I promised!" She started to cry again. "Great, we could've advoided this whole thing, but noooooooo, Ginny just had to keep the secret!" Seamus exclaimed in outrage, shooting daggers at her. "Look Seamus, back off. She was just keeping the secret for her, alright? She was just being a friend." "Well, she's our friend to; she should've told us." "It was a secret," Harry tried to get throught Seamus' head, but he wouldn't hear it. "I'm outta here. Enjoy not having us around. Come on Lav." Lavender gave Harry & Ginny a sincere look as she followed Seamus, trying to calm him down. "Thank you Harry," Ginny whispered. "For what?" he asked, smiling at her. "For standing up for me. That's why I love you so much." She gasped. 'Oh no! I just said I loved him!' Harry seemed shocked. 'Oh no, he's going to leave me now.' Ginny wimpered, but Harry shocked her once again. "I love you too Gin." She couldn't believe he just said those three words to her. Those were the words she always wanted to hear. She now didn't care if Dean, Hermione, & Seamus were mad at her; she had Harry to help her. They kissed, the most passionate kiss of their life.
