Chapter 5
Michelle spotted Hermione cry and rushed over, "What's wrong, Hermione?"
"Ron – told – Harry that I…" Hermione explained between sharp breaths.
"He told?"
Hermione nodded, "He – promised me – he wouldn't – tell him."
"I'm sure he didn't mean to hurt you." Said Michelle.
"I – know." Hermione gasped, "But…"
"I'm sure he was only trying to help."
"Odd way to – help." Hermione wiped her eyes.

After class, Harry watched as Hermione rushed into the castle.
He hesitated a moment before going inside after her.
"Hermione!" He called to her from the bottom of the marble staircase.
She didn't turn around.
"Hermione, please talk to me."
She stopped halfway up the staircase and turned to face Harry.
"I'm sorry." Harry said as he climbed the stairs to meet her. "I shouldn't have said anything."
"He shouldn't have said anything."
"It's not his fault." Harry told Hermione, "He wouldn't have said anything if I hadn't-"
"It doesn't matter, he promised me." Hermione interrupted.
Harry didn't say anything for a moment, "Please don't be mad at him for something that wasn't his fault." He said calmly.
"Would you rather I be mad at you?" She asked, fighting back tears.
Harry didn't answer.
"I'm sorry, Harry." Hermione said quietly. "I should have told you in the first place."
Harry wrapped Hermione in a hug, "It's okay, I just want you to be happy."
Hermione hugged him back.
Just then, Ron came into the entrance hall unnoticed, and immidiately saw them on the stairs.
Hermione saw him from over Harry's shoulder, "Ron…"
Ron just looked at them from the bottom of the stairs. He felt like his heart had been ripped in half. Before either of them saw him, Ron left back out onto the grounds.
" What?" Harry asked, obviously confused.
"Ron was at the bottom of the stairs, he just left…"
A/N: Yeah, I know, it sucks, it's short, I'm sorry. I'll write more soon! Tell me what you think!
