I was surprised that I had kept Malfoy's cloak. I was even more
surprised that I had made him stop kissing me. I didn't like Harry or Ron,
but I didn't like Malfoy either. It just didn't feel right with him, I
liked to talk to him and be around him, but we didn't make sparks. I
thought it was strange the way he had immediately thought I had a "thing"
for Harry, I didn't. It was the same way with Harry as it was with Malfoy.
Ron was the only one who confused me. I liked to be around him some of the
time, but other times it seemed that he was trying to get rid of me.
"What are you thinking about?" I looked up from the chair I had been
sitting in. The person speaking was Ginny Weasley.
"Stuff." I answered, as much as I wanted to meet her I didn't want to talk
to anyone, especially Malfoy's ex.
"Ah, guy troubles. I'm not exactly an expert, if I was I wouldn't be here
on a Friday night by myself, but if you want to talk."
"You know what? That might be nice." I said changing my mind about wanting
to talk. "Let's go up to the dorm, I don't want any guys overhearing us."
"Okay, let's go."
*~*
(A/N: I know I haven't been changing point of view but I want you to know
what the guys are thinking, so I changed it to Harry's POV for a little
while.)
I always thought that Hermione was the girl for me, I never thought that she would want someone else, or that I would want someone else either. Then Hermione had to go off with Malfoy, my enemy and then I have to like some new girl who I've known for three days. Kerry is so much like Hermione but so different, she is the only girl who's ever been able to get to me like that. She is absolutely the most infuriating girl I have met in my whole life, except maybe Hermione. Then the fact that Ron and Malfoy liked Kerry didn't help things at all. "What's up?" I turned and saw Ron walking into the dorm. I didn't really want to talk but I didn't have much of a choice. "So now you've started to talk like her?" "Oh I guess I have, is that a problem?" "No just a little surprising. I was just thinking until you came in." "I guess I'll let you get back to that then." "Wait. I wanted to talk to you. About Kerry." "What about her? You know that I kind of maybe sort of like her." "Kind of maybe sort of? You are in deep crush mode. Sorry to break it to you but if she told you to dance naked in front of the whole school you would probably do it." "So? You probably would too," he said, getting defensive. "That would be the problem I would and so would Malfoy and just about every single Gryffindor guy and a few Ravenclaws." "That is sad. How could a girl, one girl, affect the whole school like that?" "Who knows? We just have to deal with it, but I don't want to fight with you just because of her." "Never! I wouldn't let something as trivial as a girl; get between us. You know that." "I know that in my heart, but I have a cynical brain and it doesn't believe everything you say." "I'm surprised that you can't believe me even though we've been friends since we were 11." "I'm sorry but I am just having major problems with this whole thing. I wish Hermione were here, she always kept me grounded." "You don't know? Oh of course you wouldn't know your not speaking to each other." "Don't know what? What are you talking about?" "Hermione is coming for Christmas break." I was so surprised that I slumped down in the chair I had been sitting in. Hermione was coming here in a month. She would see me acting like a fool over some girl, fighting with my best friend over some girl, some girl who wasn't her. "I guess you didn't know. She is coming for the Yule Ball and staying until New Year's" "She, she, she's coming for the Yule Ball? That's before we get out for break." "She gets out earlier and the ball is the night before we leave. Obviously I'm not leaving and neither are you, a bunch of people aren't leaving because she's coming." "She'll get to meet Kerry." "Yeah I'm sure Kerry will be excited. We've told her that they are so alike." "I have to think some more, I hope you don't mind that I am leaving you for awhile." "Not at all. You need to get your mind straight and get over Hermione." "I will not get over Hermione like that! I will feel whatever I want to about her! You should be happy that I'm not over her, it cuts down on your competition." With that I left. I was regretting everything I said to him, but I was right and I wasn't going to tell him I was sorry for being right. I decided that I would go for a walk. *~* (A/N: New POV, I like to change it. The story is more interesting.) I was surprised when Kerry actually wanted to talk to me. She really didn't know me, but I guessed that she wanted to meet me. We walked up the stairs to the girl's dorms. We wanted to be by ourselves so when there were people in my dorm we moved to hers. "So what is the problem, exactly?" I asked her. "Well, I don't know that you really want to hear this now, I mean." "Don't worry, I was over Malfoy when I found out that he was fooling around with Hermione. I just never broke up with him." "Okay, if you're sure," I nodded my head for her to continue. "I'm sure you know about the whole Harry, Ron, Malfoy, uh, thing, for lack of a better word." "Yeah, I do." "Then, Malfoy asked me to go on a walk with him. I was going to walk anyway so I didn't have a good excuse. I went with him. It was cold so he gave me his cloak. We were walking and talking and getting along just fine. Then, he unexpectedly kissed me. I was surprised at first and didn't really react, but when I came to my senses I pushed him away. It didn't feel right when he was kissing me, I can't explain. He was surprised when I pushed him away and he showed it. We just kept walking like nothing had happened, but it was kind of awkward so I left to get my stuff for the next class. I never gave him his cloak back and I have been feeling guilty since then. I don't know why, but I am scared to see him. I know that's stupid, but I am and I have no one to talk to. All my friends are guys who have crushes on me, except you if you would count me as a friend. I can see why you wouldn't, I mean your boyfriend dumped you because of me." "No, I can see that you really need some good girlfriends, and I knew that he would dump me eventually, it wasn't like I thought we were soul mates or anything." Actually, we were really good together and I was upset with him, but I wasn't going to tell Kerry or blame her. It wasn't her fault that she was the first new girl from America that had ever been at Hogwart's and she just happened to have a great personality and was very good looking. Ok so maybe I'm a little jealous, but my boyfriend dumped me for a girl who rejected him, that's got to hurt. "Oh I'm glad that you understand. I was so worried that you would hate me. Now what should I do about Harry and Ron? Maybe you could help me, you've known them a lot longer than I have." "Sure, so what's the problem exactly?" "I thought everyone knew that, but they both seem to like me. I want you to know that I am not going around telling people that guys like me when I don't know for sure, they both told me." "I figured that you wouldn't go bragging about that. It's not something I would want everyone to know. I knew, but I thought you should tell me, also I think that there isn't a whole lot you can do. Just don't go flirting with both of them or other guys unless you like them and want them to notice you. My brother can be very confusing, unless you like him do not encourage him, he'll hold it against you for your whole life if you break his heart." "I would never intentionally do that." "Intentionally or not, be careful." "I'll do that. Thanks for letting me talk to you it really helped." "Not a problem, I've been looking for a way to get to know you for a while now." I really had too. This wasn't my first choice, but it worked. I can't believe that Draco would do something like that he was such a gentleman when he was with me. I'm not able to picture him chasing after a girl like that, it just isn't like him, it's strange. "I'll see you around, I've got to give Draco his cloak back." "Okay, see you." *~* I was really happy that I could talk to Ginny like that. It really helped. I didn't want to see Draco right now, but I had to give his cloak back. I walked through the portrait of the fat lady and was surprised to see Draco right there. That made it a lot easier to find him. I hadn't really known where to look. "Hey Kerry, I see you were going to give me my cloak." "What? Oh, yeah, I was, here you go. I'll see you around." I said as I turned to go back into the tower. "Hey wait," he said as he caught my arm, "I wanted to talk to you." "Can it wait? I have some homework to do." "Actually, it can't, I'm sorry." "Ok, so what's so important that it can't wait 24 hours?" "Um can we go for a walk? I'll tell you then." "I guess, but this better be good." I said as I wriggled out of his grip. He started walking towards the entrance hall and I followed, kind of nervous because I was remembering what happened last time we went for a walk. "Hey, wait up. If you want to talk to me you have to at least let me catch up to you." "Sorry." I caught up to him and we kept walking. I was anxious to hear what he had to say so I matched his fast pace. *~* Kerry and I were just coming up to the doors. I was glad that she had agreed to come with me when she so clearly didn't want to. I wanted to know why she was acting so strange. She looked really nervous and she knew that she did so she was trying to hide it. "Now will you tell me what you have to?" She asked. "If you're going to snap at me I may not tell you at all." "You'll tell me because if you don't I'll torture it out of you." She said that while she was playing with my tie. She loosened it and then looked up at me. "I guess you're right I think I'd rather have you torture me though, it looks like fun." "It is fun for me, but it would be excruciating for you." "Oh, really? How so?" "I think you should tell me and then I might torture you anyway." "Well I've decided not to tell you so if you want to wear yourself out by trying to pry it out of me, go ahead." She looked disappointed, but all she did was shriek a little and then turn around and leave. It was too bad, I would have enjoyed pushing her buttons some more. *~* Malfoy is a jerk, and to think I almost had a crush on him. I have no idea what I was thinking when I started flirting like that. I'm disgusted with myself. I was thinking this as I was walking up the stairs to my dorm. I walked in, "Where have you been?" I heard two very loud shrieking voices coming from across the room. I sighed and flung myself on my bed, face down. I heard Lavender ask, "Gee, what's her problem?" before I fell asleep.
