Chapter 4:

"Where'd they go now?" Harry said to himself as he exited the library. "Maybe they're out on the grounds or something…" He walked toward the doorway into the great hall.

He walked down the staircase, across the hall, where he saw Dean, "Have you seen Ron and Hermione?"

Dean shrugged.

"Okay, tell me if you see them, I'm going to look out on the grounds." He walked to the front door, opened it and stepped out into the snow. He looked around the grounds from where he stood. He looked over toward the lake where he spotted Ron and Hermione sitting at the frozen lakes edge kissing.

I should go back inside he thought. He turned around and went back inside.

"Were they out there?" Dean asked when he saw Harry.

"What? Oh, yeah…" Harry replied.

"Are you all right?" Asked Dean.

"Yeah, yeah I'm okay. They were just…" He trailed off.

"Okay…" Dean said sounding a little confused.

"I'm, um, going to go up to the common room." Harry said as he started to ascend the stairs.

"What about charms?"

"Oh, yeah…I'll go there then…"

Harry disappeared up the marble staircase just as Ron and Hermione came back inside, both smiling broadly.

"What time is it?" Hermione inquired.

"We have about ten minutes until charms." Ron answered.

"We should get going then."

Ron nodded in agreement.

They walked up the staircase and down the charms corridor chatting the whole time.

"Good afternoon Ron, Hermione." Professor Flitwick greeted as they entered the classroom.

"Hi Professor." Hermione said cheerfully, still smiling.

Ron and Hermione made their way across the classroom where they sat in the back row.

Harry, who had come to class early, was sitting two rows down from them. He looked back at them as they sat down and blushed, embarrassed by what he had seen on the grounds. He turned back to face the front of the room again.

After their lesson on engorgement charms, the class left to care of magical creatures.

As they were walking past the great hall, Michelle stopped them and asked if she could speak with Ron.

Ron turned to Hermione; "I'll see you outside." He kissed her on the cheek.

She nodded and continued out the front door.

"What is it?" Asked Ron.

"You knew that Harry and Cho were together, right?"

"Yeah, how could I not?" Ron replied, "Why?"

"They – um – broke up." Michelle informed Ron.

"When?"

" After lunch; in the library. Harry told me after class."

They heard Harry and Hermione's voices shouting outside, "I'd better go." Ron walked briskly to the door.

"Why are you so mad at me?! What did I do?!" Harry yelled at Hermione, "Answer me!" He grabbed her arm as she was walking away.

"Let go of me, Harry." Hermione said calmly.

Harry let go.

Hermione continued toward the care of magical creatures class.

"I know, Hermione!" Harry shouted after her.

Hermione spun around, taken off guard, "What exactly do you know, Harry?"

"Ron told me you, um -"

Ron caught up with them, "Hermione! Let me explain!"

"No, Ron, I don't want to hear it." She looked up at him, tears welling in her eyes, and continued to the class.

Ron watched her walk across the lawn. He turned to Harry, "What'd you tell her that for?"

Harry didn't reply, he just looked at Ron.

Ron glared at him and walked across the grounds after Hermione.

Hermione turned around and saw Ron, who was closely followed by Harry. She turned back around, she was sobbing uncontrollably.

"Hermione!" Ron called from behind her, "Hermione!" He yelled again.

Hermione turned to face him, mascara running down her cheeks.

"I'm sorry." Ron said when he reached her.

"How could you?" Hermione asked, "I trusted you."

"I know…and I'm sorry."

"Why did you tell him?"

"He didn't understand why you where mad at him." Ron explained, "I know it's not an excuse, but…" He trailed off.

Hermione stared at Ron; she didn't want to believe what he had done.

"I'm so sorry." And he did look it.

"I think I need to be alone for a little while." Hermione finally said as she wiped the makeup off her cheeks with the back of her hand. She walked away to an unpopulated area of grass near Hagrid's hut.

Ron stayed where he was, watching as Hermione walked away.
