Harry And Hermione's Talk

disclaimer-dont own HP

A/N- wish i did

When Ron walked out of the Portrait Hole, Harry saw the look of sadness and hurt on his face, so he got up and walked into the dormitories.

Hermione looked up, hoping it was Ron, but when she saw Harry, she said, "Oh," and looked back down at the floor.

"So, you think I'll attack someone if another bad thing happens?" Harry asked.

"What?" Hermione asked, looking up from the floor.

Harry held up one of Fred and George's Expandable Ears. "I never thought they'd come in handy."

"Harry--I--"

"No, I understand. You think I'm a nut."

"No--I---"

"But you'll hurt Ron's feelings to save my life. If I was in love as much as you are, I wouldn't care if my best friend was a nut and would do something harmful."


"Harry---I---"

"You know, I never understood smart girls. Or, at least, not you...."

"HARRY POTTER!" Hermione had jumped up from Ron's bed and her fists were clenched, she was steaming.

Harry backed down and sat on his bed, staring up at Hermione.

"Okay, if you heard the whole story, then you should know that I love Ron, I love him very much....But I---I love you, too---in the friendly way, mind you---and I don't want to put yourself or others in danger by Ron and I dating. I think---"

"So you DO think I'm a nut?"

"Harry, shut up and don't interrupt. If you do, I'll tell Cho that you killed Cedric."

"Blackmail isn't like you, Hermione."

"Yeah, but it works."

"Fine. I'll shut up."

"Good." Hermione let out a big sigh. "Harry, I think you're a bit on-the-edge, and I'm sure you know it. But after your four best friends---er---pass away, start dating, and stuff, you could do anything out of stress and depression. I just think that you know, we should keep it cool for a while."

"Yeah? And hurt Ron's feelings?"

"I'm not trying to. And you know that. I just think he'd understand, is all....."

"Well, he understands that you care more about what I'll do with you two together, rather than what HE'LL do with you two NOT together. Just listen, Hermione. Ron loves you like hell. And he's going to love you for a long time. I understand that. I don't want to be the reason of him being miserable. Now, go make up with him, 'cause he'll be miserable without you. And vice versa. Trust me," Harry added when Hermione tried to argue.

"Fine. I'll talk to him. But I DOUBT he'll listen, let alone forgive me."

"He will if he loves you enough," Harry answered.

Hermione stood up and walked out the dormitories, then out the Portrait Hole. She didn't know where to look. Maybe the Great Hall?? The Quidditch Pitch?? The boys' bathroom on the third floor?? She decided she'd try the Great Hall first. He was probably hungry.
