Bitter Goodbyes

Disclaimer: Okay, I'm getting tired of saying this. I don't own Harry Potter. Don't sue me! I own nothing but my half-full can of Mountain Dew, an empty Lunchable box (bologna), and a magazine with Justin Timberlake on the cover!

Author's Note: I just want to ask if I should even bother continuing with this. I have like, one review, and its from one of my friends, because I told her to review so I would feel better. If you don't like it, tell me so I can stop embarassing myself! Okay? On with the story.

            Emily's eyes flashed in anger as she heard, yet again, what a mistake she had made in choosing Ron Weasley over Draco Malfoy. Now, in normal circumstances, rumors about her made her laugh. It was so funny that people actually took the time to make up stupid crap that was totally untrue about her. These weren't normal circumstances, though. If Lucius Malfoy found out any little thing about her and Draco, he would kill them both. If that wasn't bad enough, she really really liked Ron, and if he heard the girls saying what a mistake she had made 'going out' with him, he might think she didn't like him, and that would ruin whatever chance in hell she had in the first place. She was wondering where people got ideas like they did, when a voice suddenly broke her out of her reverie. She looked up to see none other than Harry Potter standing over her. He smiled at her and said they needed to talk.

            "Sure!" she said, surprised. "What about?"

            "Ron," he said bluntly. She stared at him, then said something quietly, that Harry couldn't quite hear. "What?"

            "I said, he hates me doesn't he?" she asked. Now it was Harry's turn to be surprised. He snorted and rolled his eyes.

            "No, and far from it. He actually really likes you, thats why he hasn't done anything about these rumors about you and him. He's just kind of distressed about the whole Malfoy thing," the Gryffindor said. Emily's face lit up.

            "Are you serious? He really likes me? For real?" she jumped up, and all of a sudden Harry realised how short her skirt really was. He cleared his throat, and looked down. He suddenly turned red, and he prayed to God that Emily thought he had a wand in his pocket. She followed his gaze, wondering why he was suddenly so embarassed and smiled, a blush rising on her cheeks.

            "I'm gonna go, talk to Ron, um, I'll, uh, see you...later, ya..." she muttered, and dashed off. Harry groaned and cursed his damn horomones. He didn't like her or any thing, but those short skirts affected him like crazy. He groaned again, and trudged off to the bathroom, silently cursing whatever person made those skirts so damn small.

            Meanwhile, Emily was running up to the Slytherin commom room to change into a longer skirt. She didn't want to get the same reaction from Ron as she got from Harry. She wanted Ron to like HER, not her skirts. As she was dashing out of the common room, she ran right into Draco. Shit! She thought. I do not have time for this!!

            "Emily, um, can I talk to you for a minute?" he whispered. "Please?" Emily chewed on her lip. She really wanted to go see Ron, but she nodded. Draco was pleading, almost begging, and he NEVER begged. It had to be important, so she decided she could wait to talk to Ron. She just hoped it wouldn't take too long with Draco... she didn't know how long she could wait.

Please people! Review!!! I really really am serious about this!  I'm not continuing until I get at least 5 reviews. Thats how desperate I am!! If you guys don't like the story, tell me why, so I can fix it! PLEASE! I'm begging you!!!!

XXXOOO,
