Chapter 4 Betrayal
Harry woke up by the sound of Ron's yelling
" HEY HARRY ARE YOU DEAD OR ARE YOU GOING TO WAKE UP?!" yelled Ron.
Harry's reply was chucking Hogwarts, A History at him. " Sorry bud, but I've been trying to get you up for the past 10 minutes," retorted Ron.
" All right, all right, I'll get up, can you check the time?
" Your 10 minutes late for breakfast"
Harry gave a little yelp and started to run his motor.
10 minutes later, he was awake, dressed, and already thinking of Hermione. " Let's go mate," voiced Ron. " Why the rush? Is there someone you want to see?" mused Harry. Ron blushed. Aha, thought Harry, I got him now. "Lets go," Harry finished.
After breakfast, the Gryffindor table found Professor McGonagall handing out course schedule. " Ok chaps! I want you all in class on time and ready to learn!" barked the Transfiguration teacher," I trust you forgot all we taught you last year! We must work harder than ever to ensure that you will pass your N.E.W.T's. That means you will be working on homework until you collapse!!!" All she received was moans and groans from the crowd.
" The old bat." Said Ron. Harry said," let's see what we've got. ahhh. We have to go to Charms." Meanwhile, Fred and George neared them.
" Fine day, eh George?" said Fred brightly. " Fine day for mayhem." Replied George, who was pulling out a pair of Sugar Quills. Sugar Quills are made of pure sugar so you can illegally eat candy while in class.
Winking, Fred said," Got some thinking to do in potions, we will make sure Snape gets his share of the fun." The Deadly Duo walked away, laughing.
" It's about time that we go, too." Said Harry.
Suddenly, Harry saw Cho walk up to him.
Harry started to panic.
Should I run? What should I do? What about Hermione? What will she think? What the hell does Cho want? Does she still like me? Do I like Hermione or Cho?
A thousand questions exploded in Harry's mind. He started to sweat.
" ummm. hi Cho. what..er. do you want?"
" Hey Harry? Ron and I will go to Charms now, so meet us there, all right?" came Hermione's worried voice.
Ron and Hermione left, leaving Harry with the girl.
Cho asked Harry," Do you still like me? I know I was a bit of an idiot last year, but I thought about it over the summer, I still like you." Harry was stumped. " I well." "Good!" Cho said happily," There is a Hogsmead trip next week, do you want to go with me?"
"I-" " Excellent, I will see you then!"
With that Cho waltzed away.
What just happened? Thought Harry. Cho just asked you out and without waiting for a response you've got a date, came a nasty little voice from the back of his head. But I like Hermione.
Harry gasped.
HERMIONE!
" oh no. what will she think about this?" Harry moaned to himself.
Slowly, he made his way towards Flitwick's classroom.
As it turned out, he was right on time for class.
Harry was too troubled to be thinking about charms.
" Harry are you paying attention?" asked Professor Flitwick. Harry jerked to attention.
" Yes" he said. " Then would you be so kind as to come here and perform a disappearing charm for us all to see how well you've analyzed the lesson?"
" uh, but first I need to use the restroom."
" all right," replied Flitwick," but come back soon."
Harry came back 3 minutes before class ended.
He was just about to perform the charm when the bell that signaled the end of class rang.
" Oh darn, out of time," said Harry cheerfully," professor? I'll show you the charm on Wednesday, ok?" Without waiting he danced out of the classroom.
" Some stunt, Harry." Said Ron.
" Thanks, Ron, What have we got next?"
"Potions"
Harry's good mood disappeared in a split second.
"let's go said Harry grumpily. " Don't worry" said Hermione," just don't screw up or anything so there is nothing Snape can do to you."
Harry felt warmly towards Hermione. If only she knew how I felt, thought Harry. While walking to Snape's dungeon, he noticed Ron was trying to hold Hermione's hand. Harry got very alarmed. So he decided to once again to foil Ron's plans. He cut in between Ron and Hermione, making sure Ron's grimy hands were a safe distance away from her hand. His worst belief was confirmed. He has one decision left. Will he choose Hermione's love? Or will he take Ron's friendship?
There was one factor left. Cho.
Harry mentally groaned.
Snape's lesson was turning out as badly as expected. Snape was breathing down Harry's back making sure he got everything right. When the potion was supposed to be yellow, Harry's potion was blue. He had forgotten to add the main ingredient to his cauldron. Snape happily took 10 points away from Gryffindor. After class, Snape gave Harry extra homework. Malfoy gave Harry a "loser" look and strutted away like a king.
" Evil Snape is." laughed Ron.
Harry gave Ron a well-deserved kick. " Lets go to lunch," interrupted Hermione.
Harry grunted.
Lunch passed by uneventfully.
"Hm!" said Ron," I swear that the house elves get better and better every year." He stuffed about 10 pounds of food in his mouth. Harry looked at Ron with disgust. " Ron, close your mouth when you're eating," scolded Harry.
Ron tried to answer but obviously his mouth was full, so he waved his hands around trying to communicate.
" Your disgusting Ron," said Hermione.
That comment lifted Harry's spirit. Fred, George, and Ginny soon joined them.
" Snape really hates you Harry," Ginny," it seemed as if Snape wants you to give him a bath."
George spit out is butterbeer. " NURSE!" he cried and he ran away.
" Nice one, Ginny," grumbled Fred," Now you've given us the unpleasant image of Harry giving Snape a bath."
He looked around and saw Cho smiling at him. Hermione also turned around. " Harry?"
Harry looked horrified. Hermione saw Cho and frowned.
" I thought you two hated each other." Hermione said.
" I wish we did," muttered Harry," forget about that, Hermione, I have a confession to make."
" Yes?" Unfortunately Ron's brothers appeared out of nowhere and told them.
" Hey guys," said George," we just snuck a sleeping pill into Malfoy's drink!"
" Uh-oh, he's falling asleep," said Fred," ladies and gentlemen, we'll see you later."
With that the two zipped away.
Dammit, thought Harry, well maybe next time.
" Harry?" asked Hermione," Ron and I are done. We'll go back to the common room. Come there when you finish, ok?"
" Sure." Came Harry's reply. ---------------------------------5 minutes later---------------------------- -----
Boy that was good, thought Harry. Better be heading back.
While on his way, he heard Ron's voice. It was too far way, so he couldn't hear them very well. Harry wondered what they were doing. Harry followed their voices to a deserted corridor.
Harry gasped.
He couldn't believe what he was looking at.
Ron and Hermione were kissing!
MWAHAHAHAHA. I know I'm evil for leaving it off like that. So. enjoy chapter 4? Chapter 5 is next and I need advise, soooooo... If you could give me some that would be great. Please submit a review now.
Who's going to get the girl? Will it be Harry or will it be Ron? Stay tuned!
