Chapter 3: Harry finds out
Harry sighed as he made his way to the Gryffindor Tower after dropping Cho off the Ravenclaw Tower. 'I'll have to break up with her sooner or later, but the question is, when and how?' Harry asked himself this question over and over again. It was 30 minutes after curfew, that's why Harry was surprised to hear laughter coming from the hallway. Harry froze. 'Lucky I have my invisibility cloak on,' he thought as he waited for the people to come. Moments later, Dean and Hermione came in the hallway, and Harry tensed. He saw Dean holding Hermione's hand, and she was giggling. They looked like they were heading somewhere, and Harry debated whether to follow them or not. Finally, curiosity got the best of him and he ran after them. He started walking when he was a good distance away from them, but not far as to not hear them.
"Hermione, will you stop laughing? Filch will catch us if you keep on laughing," Dean said, still holding Hermione's hand. Hermione tried to stop laughing, but she ended up choking it out.
"I can't! It's very funny what said to Ron to get him away from us," she said, then burst out giggling again. Harry could see Dean smiling.
"It WAS pretty amusing," he replied. They started talking about other things, but Harry wasn't paying attention. He was partly paying attention to where they were going; he couldn't remember ever going this way. He was also paying attention to the fact that Dean STILL hasn't let go of Hermione's hand. Suddenly, they stopped in front of a portrait that was playing a violin.
"Hello, Sir Andrew," Hermione said, giving him the smile that Harry always admired. The portrait stopped playing and it turned around, revealing a man just at his mid 20's. He smiled back at Hermione and Dean.
"Hermione! Dean! It's been a long time since you visited me, is it not?" he said. Dean chuckled.
"Actually, Sir Andrew, we just saw you yesterday," Dean said. Sir Andrew blinked rapidly.
"Did you really?" he asked. Hermione laughed while nodding.
"Sir Andrew, would you kindly please let us in?" Dean asked. Sir Andrew bowed to them before the portrait swung open. Dean pulled the still- laughing Hermione, and Harry followed closely behind. What he saw made his jaw drop. The room was filled with what looked like muggle equipment, but he knows (according to Hermione) that muggle electronics doesn't work in the wizarding world, so there has to be some magic involved in the equipment. He watched as Dean let go of Hermione's hand (to his relief) and went over to the place with many buttons while Hermione went over to a spot with a microphone and headphones. While Dean worked with over on the other side, Hermione fixed herself in the spot, placing the headphones over her head, adjusting the microphone and fixing papers in the music stand. Finally, Dean looked up at Hermione.
"Are you ready to try out the song you made?" Dean asked. Hermione nodded and smiled sadly. Harry tensed. He knows that it has something to do to him because of the way she smiled, so he paid close attention. Dean held up his hand, and counting down to one. When he did, a slow music started playing, and Hermione started to sing.
I heard he sang a lullaby
I heard he sang it from his heart
When I found out thought I would die
Because the lullaby was mine
I heard he sealed it with a kiss
He gently kissed her cherry lips
I found that so hard to believe
Because his kiss belonged to me
Harry was stunned. Hermione's voice sounded so angelic, but the song sounded sad that he didn't know whether to be miserable or not.
How could an angel break my heart
Why didn't he catch my falling star
I wish I didn't wish so hard
Maybe I wished our love apart
How could an angel break my heart
Harry then knew that the song was dedicated to him. 'Did I hurt you this badly?' he asked himself.
I heard her face was white as rain
Soft as a rose that blooms in may
He keeps her picture in a frame
And when he sleeps he calls her name
I wonder if she makes him smile
The way he used to smile at me
I hope she doesn't make him laugh
Because his laugh belongs to me
Something occurred to Harry. 'Hermione, you're not the only one who's hurting,' he thought. 'I'm hurting at the fact that I can't be with you,'
How could an angel break my heart
Why didn't he catch my falling star
I wish I didn't wish so hard
Maybe I wished our love apart
How could an angel break my heart
Dean watched Hermione closely as she sang the song. He knew that she was singing the song from the bottom of her heart, and it was so intense that Dean could actually feel the sadness that Hermione is throwing in the song.
Oh my soul is dying it's crying
I'm trying to understand
Please help me
Hermione was really trying hard not to cry by singing this song, but when she sang the bridge, she knew she was a goner. And she was right. After she sang the last line, she could feel her tears rolling down her cheek.
How could an angel break my heart
Why didn't he catch my falling star
I wish I didn't wish so hard
Maybe I wished our love apart
How could an angel break my heart
As the last note hung in the air, Harry, who was still stunned, saw Hermione crying. He was going to go over to her and comfort her, when he realized that she didn't know he was there. So with deep regret, he let Dean walk over to her and comfort her.
Dean wrapped his arms tightly around Hermione, who buried her face in his chest. He rubbed her back while Hermione used his shirt as a handkerchief.
"Just let it out, Mione. It'll be all right," he whispered in her ear as she sobbed. After a few moments, Hermione finally stopped crying. She slowly let go of Dean and wiped the last of her tears.
"Why does this song always do that to me?" she asked, giving Dean a weak smile. Dean returned her smile.
"You did wonderful, as always," he said. Hermione sniffed.
"Will I be able to get over Harry?" she asked. Dean looked into Hermione's eyes.
"You won't, because he took so much space in your heart already," he replied. Hermione smiled and kissed Dean on the cheek before giving him a hug, which he gladly returned. Harry watched all this in jealousy and sorrow. When Hermione and Dean pulled away, Hermione smiled brightly.
"You always know how to make me feel better. Thanks," she said. Dean winked at her. Hermione hooked arms with Dean.
"Come on, I'm hungry. What do you say we go and grab some food in the kitchen before heading back?" she asked. Dean grinned.
"Did I ever tell you that I love you?" he replied. Hermione laughed and started walking.
"Come on, bottomless-pit-for-a-stomach," she said, leading Dean out. Hermione thought she heard someone say her name, but she brushed it off and walked out of the room. What she didn't know was that she couldn't have been more right.
T.J.: Okay, that's the end of this chapter! And please forgive Jae for it's angsty-ness, but she does have a plan for this, and everything will be the way she wanted it to be!
* Hermione comes in *
Hermione: Tyler, are you bothering your sister?
T.J.: no mum! I'm simply watching over her
Hermione: * narrows eyes * why don't I believe you?
T.J.: Honest!
Hermione: * sighs * all right then.. * Leaves the door *
T.J.: Why can't I be trusted? Well, Jae would really like it if you read and review, so please do so! See ya! Oh, and the song is from the muggle singer Toni Braxton, not Jae. * Laughs evilly, until Jae throws another pillow at him ("Shut up!!! I'm trying to sleep here!!!") *
Jae: Um, T.J.? In case you've forgotten, you're in my room, and I could kick you out anytime I want
T.J.: Okay, okay! I'm sorry! * whispers to the readers * but you should really see her! Her hair's bushier than ever and-
