Harry Potter and the Fate of the Green Emerald

















When Harry woke up the next morning he found himself sitting at a library table. He wondered why for a moment and then a sickening feeling came back to him; Hermione had terminated their friendship. Harry stood up and stretched and then he walked out of the library while Madam Pince eyed him carefully. Harry walked down the deserted hallways except Harry saw a tall brown- haired girl a little ways in front of him. "Hermione!" Harry called out. She turned to speak. Her face was like stone and her eyes held fire. "Congratulations Potter, you're the new Captain of our Quidditch team," she said, every word dripping with hate. "Hermione, please forgive me," Harry begged. Hermione did not answer she simply turned around and began walking in the direction she had been going. Harry followed her making attempts of apologizing. But she kept on, not paying any attention to him. People were starting to fill the halls on this Saturday morning and they were looking at Harry and Hermione. "Hermione I am begging you! Forgive me!" The stares followed Harry and Hermione until they reached the Common Room. As soon as they opened the portrait hole there was a huge noise and Harry look around and saw all the Gryffindors throwing a party in his name. He also saw Hermione make a clear path from him to the Girl's Dormitory. "Hermione!" he called out one last time. He got the response that he had received earlier. He watched her open the door and then disappear. There was cheering and 'Congrats!" thrown out to him, but Harry did not listen. Not even when Magda came over and was clearly flirting. He just sat down on the couch and stared blankly into the fire. Many of his fellow classmates got tired of him not responding and left the room. "Harry, what is wrong?" Ron asked after Harry had pretty much killed the party and cleared the room. "Hermione is mad at me, and I hate it," Harry said sadly. "Why is she mad?" Magda asked coming over to sit by him. Harry was uncomfortable for a minute. He bowed his head, "I yelled at her and I never meant it." "Oh," was all Magda said. "Harry you have to get over it," Magda said after a minute. Harry was outraged, but he kept his cool, what was Magda saying? "What?" he asked angrily. "Well, if she won't forgive you-" "She will! She has to, or-" Harry could not think of what would happen to him if he did not have Hermione as a friend. Harry got up and left. He just wandered the halls, thinking. When Harry returned to the Common Room that night he found most of the Gryffindors there. He knew what to do. Harry walked up to the Girl's Dormitory and knocked. "Hermione, I have something to say, I know you do not want to hear it, I know you do not care that I am here. But, we were best friends for 6 years, you owe it me to hear me out, just this once." Harry was surprised when he saw the door open. Hermione was there. She walked back to her bed and sat on it. Her eyes were not welcoming but Harry began to talk anyway. "Hermione, look I do not love Magda," there was a pain in his stomach. "Please, be my friend again! I have been hurting all day! Nothing is ever going to happen between Magda and me!" Hermione's eyes softened. She looked down and softly began to cry. "You promise? Because I like Magda but, I feel like sometime in the future I will have to fight her for your friendship," she said quietly. Harry nodded. He saw Hermione smile for the first time in a while. He ran to her and hugged her. "I will make it up for you I promise, come to the Astronomy Tower at 10. Now that we are best friends again I feel like looking at the stars," Harry dashed out of the room. He had a best friend back! AT 10:00 Harry was up in the tower waiting for Hermione. He had invited Ron but Ron was in a heated chess tournament and he had decided it was best not to invite Magda. It was 10 till 10 when there were footsteps on that stairs. "Hermione?" Harry said. But the person who came through the door was not Hermione, it was Magda. "Ron said you were up here," Magda said. Harry cursed Ron. "I was waiting for Hermione," Harry said. "I hate to be rude but I think you should-" Magda ran forward and pressed her lips to his as Hermione came through the doorway smiling. But her smile faded. Harry broke away. Hermione ran back down the steps and through the halls. Hogwarts students watched as Harry chased her. He called her name but to no avail. (That is right, right?) Finally as the entered the Entrance Hall she turned. There was going to be a scene considering there were several students there. "Don't you dare follow me or I'll curse you. I am not so weak as to pass up hexing a former friend," Hermione said in tone that could kill. "Former friend?" Harry whispered. But she did not answer. She turned on her heel and made her way up the steps, never looking back.
