"Well." Hermione started, not really knowing how to say it.
"Well. what?" Harry asked.
Hermione did what was the only way she was going to get this out, she was going to blurt it all out in one single breath and see what happened.
"I went to Ron's house for a weekend, he told me he liked me, I said I liked him, didn't mean it, I was confused, so we're technically going out and everything, and I just caught him snogging Lavender. He couldn't tell me. And, I got mad, and yelled, well you heard it."
"Oh."
"Again with the 'oh' . I'm not mad at him for what he did. I know that he never liked me, that he was just confused. He got jealous over Krum and thought it was more than it was. He thought that it meant he liked me, not that he was just being a protective friend."
"That makes things a lot clearer."
"And that's why I'm mad at him. I'm mad he couldn't just tell me and I'm mad that I couldn't tell him either."
Swinging a friendly arm over her shoulders, Harry said, "Come on, you two fight all the time, you'll get through it. I'll talk to him. Explain things to him a little. He'll feel like an ass, come and apologize, and then everything will be fine again."
Turning to face him, she was caught in his green eyes and the way tinkled. "Stop it, just turn away, " she thought to herself.
Seeing that she was crying, Harry brought a thumb up to her cheek to wipe away the tears. "God, I hate to her like this. Stop it, she'll be alright," Harry just couldn't stand seeing her cry and what it did to her.
"Ahem," another voice called.
Harry moved his head and saw that it was Ron. Seeing the considerably comfy situation, Ron's right eyebrow rose. After seeing his raised eyebrow, Harry shot him a look that said, "Not now." Hermione hadn't noticed Ron yet, so Harry did a "shoo" motion with his right hand and mouthed, "I'll talk to you later." After he left, he broke away from Hermione and said, "Now, do you want to head back to the tower and get ready for classes?"
"Yeah," she said in barely a whisper.
"Okay," Harry turns to leave, when Hermione speaks.
"Harry?"
"Yeah?"
"I know I haven't exactly been there for you lately, and you've really been there for me lately.. and.. I just want to thank you I guess."
"Well, you've been there for all of my stuff, so I guess we're even now."
"Yep, you could say that."
"Are you coming?"
"Yeah. I'll be up in a sec. I just need to think a little."
"Alright."
With that, Harry headed to their house tower and got his supplies for class praying that Hermione was okay.
"Well. what?" Harry asked.
