Hermione didn't show up for breakfast the next Saturday. She had left early, as she had for the last week, for the library, to study. She had actually left to go to the library for peace. None of her friends had ever really went to the library on will. So she was safe. She sat down and opened up a book that she had accidentally left on the table the night before. It was New Age Charms.. More Charms than Humanly Possible to Learn and Use in a Lifetime. Hermione had ironically had already used most of them.
After about two hours of reading, she lifted her eyes from the book and observed a sight that she hadn't been expecting. Ron walked into the library, she cleared her bookbag off the chair beside her so he could sit when he made his way over. But he never did. He didn't even acknowledge Hermione's presence. She witnessed a huge grin that spread over Ron's face as he sat down beside a beautiful blond. Her eyes were bluer than the enchanted ceiling in the Great Hall on a beautifully sunny day. She was tall and skinny and greatly resembled Fluer.
But she knew he it was. It was Erin. Hermione frowned and watched the two of them flirt, by glancing up from her book every now and then. She couldn't be that smart. She couldn't be in Ravenclaw. Hermione could've been in Ravenclaw. She wanted Gryffindor though. She knew it would be better for her future. And supposedly for friendships. Over the last week, both Harry and Ron had drifted away from her, more than she could've ever imagined in such a short period of time. There was no way taht someone could be so beautiful, smart and lucky enough to have Ron. That was impossible. She frowned, closed her book and asked to check it out. She went one place she knew Ron wouldn't, not atleast until curfew. The common room.
Hermione skulked in a corner, trying to focus on her book. Praying for summer to come. She couldn't handle this. Why was she so unlucky? Everyone around her was with someone else. They were all so happy. No one even cared to ask her how she was or what she was planning for summer. Harry and Ginny were no where in sight either. Probably snogging in Myrtle's bathroom again. She shivered at the thought. Disgusting.
Surely I don't need somebody... but why do I keep thinking of Ron? Hermione moaned, contemplating asking Ginny for help, but she knew that she was way too wrapped up in her world of Harry to bother. If he only wasn't dating that "Erin" girl, I'd be fine... She thought. She was just jealous that she was being ignored.. Right? Right. How could she have ever had any feelings for Ron? He was her best friend. Right? Right.
Ron smiled at Erin and they departed for the night. He cheerfully said the password, "Toad Stools" and the portrait swung open, revealing a sleeping Hermione. He was about to walk up to the dormitory and leave her alone, he figured she wouldn't like be awakened. But he had a sudden urge to tell her about what had happened to him lately. He hadn't seen Hermione in what seemed like ages. But then again, he hadn't even noticed that until just then, at that moment. Wow. He had gotten over Hermione really quickly. He smiled a little then looked at Hermione. He nudged her a little. "'Ermione. Wake up." She groaned. "Leave me alone." Hermione's eyes shot open. "What are you doing in the girl's dormitory." Ron laughed. "You're in the common room." She frowned a little. "And no one woke me up? What are you doing here, anyway? I figured you had moved in with that Erin anyway." Ron looked at her confused. Apparently, his not taking notice to Hermione had really affected her. "I'm sorry. I just got back from the library with Erin.. What do you mean? I thought you liked her?" "Like her? LIKE HER? I don't KNOW HER! She just transferred over here like.. a week and a half ago and you go off and ogle over her every day while I'm left alone with NO ONE to talk to!" "Harry.. Ginny.. Parvati.." "You're JOKING right?" She exclaimed. "They're all just like YOU! They ignore me for their boyfriend or their girlfriend-" "How'd you know that..." He started. Her eyes widened. "I didn't. Well, I suspected.. But it's not any of MY business. Since your relationship with her means more to you than your best friend." She exclaimed and stood up. Hermione stormed up to the girl's dorm. Muttering under her breath the whole way. Ron sat in wonder, trying to sort out what had just happened. Hermione was actually jealous of someone? Wow. He thought she was stronger than that. Smarter than that. She must've had some weakness he hadn't noticed before... but he couldn't figure out what it was.. He wasn't even sure he wanted to spend so long thinking of Hermione. She had just blew him off. Who cares? He had Erin.
THAT'S IT! Hermione's jealous of Erin because.... because... Why? Ron sat in the common room for the rest of the night, trying to figure out why Hermione had turned on him. If only he had listened to what she said instead of thinking of Erin the whole time... He was so bent on telling Hermione that he had asked Erin to be his girlfriend that he hadn't noticed taht Hermione hated the girl until she had already left.
