Chapter 3: Breaking Up Is Hard To Do

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Oh Harry, Victor just doesn't understand my feelings!"

"Hermione, try to relax. You know Ron and I will always be there for you."

"I know, Harry, I know. It's just that, well…Victor realized something that I have been dreading him realizing for some time now."

"Really? What's that?" I can't believe it! She actually likes me! Good thing that she doesn't realize that I overheard them or she would be furious. Oh no…what about Ron?

"Umm…I really don't want to discuss it right now. It's kind of personal. Hey…why is Ron running at us?"

"I don't know. He looks mad about something."

Ron was furious with Harry. Harry knew that I had feelings for Hermione! How could he just go and throw himself all over her like that? Doesn't he care about my feelings at all?

"Harry, could I please speak to you in private?" This statement was uttered with such annoyance, Harry was afraid to even look at Ron.

"Well, Hermione is kind of upset right now…"

"Oh, that's okay, Harry. You go ahead with Ron. I'll be fine. In fact, I'm feeling much better already now that we have had a chance to talk."

"Alright, if you're sure…"

"Yes, go ahead."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Harry, what were you doing?"

"Well, Hermione had a fight with Victor and I was just trying to comfort her. I didn't realize that you would get so upset."

Harry watched as Ron's face became more and more like his flaming red hair. Now what am I going to do? I just find out that Hermione likes me and now I can't even enjoy that, because Ron is going to be a pain about this.

"Harry, you know how much I like Hermione. How could you do this to me?"

"Listen, Ron, I have found out something that you are not going to be happy about."

"What?"

"Well, you see, the reason that Hermione was fighting with Victor was because…because…he figured out that she likes me!" Harry had rushed so much to get that last part out, he wasn't even sure that Ron had heard him.

"What did you say?"

"I said that the reason that Hermione was fighting with Victor was because he figured out that she likes me."

"You…she…I…she can't…Victor…you?"

With that, Ron stormed out of the room and slammed the door behind him. Just as I thought, Harry sighed to himself, this is going to be a very long summer…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After Harry and Ron had left her, Hermione had decided that she would have to be true to her own feelings and brake up with Victor. Anyway, she thought to herself, his accent was really annoying and he could never even get my name right! Not to mention, Harry is considerably cuter than Victor is. Hmm…I wonder what was up with Ron…

"Her-my-ninny, vere have you been? I vas looking all over ver you."

"Oh, Victor, we need to talk."

"Ves?"

"Victor, you were right about my feelings for Harry. I think that we should end this here and now. We both know that we are hanging onto this relationship for the wrong reasons, anyway."

"Vhat are you talking, about?"

"Victor, read my lips…I want out of this!"

"Her-my-ninny, vhy are you doing vhis? I love you!"

"Well, I am sorry Victor, but I do not return those feelings. Goodbye!"

With that Her-my-ninny, I mean Hermione, stomped away. Victor ran towards her, but then decided against stopping her. Vell, if that is the vay she vants it, then fine! I hope I never see her again!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Harry was standing in Hermione's living room. Suddenly a tall, dark figure ran through the room and up the stairs. Moments later, the same figure appeared carrying a large suitcase.

"Victor, what are you doing?"

"I am leaving! Tell Her-my-ninny vat she will be sorry and vhat I vill not miss her! Goodbye, Harry, I vill never see you again!"

With that, Victor stormed out of the house. Seconds later, Hermione appeared, crying once again.

"I take it you met him on his way out"

"Yes, I did, and I am glad that he is leaving! I hate him so much."

"I'm sorry, Hermione, but if you want to talk, I am always here."

"Thanks, Harry. I will definitely take you up on that, but right now I need some time to myself"

Harry watched her walk up the stairs. Well, Ron will be happy that Victor is gone, but he may soon not be so happy with me…
