"You're probably right, Gin," Hermoine said in a soft whisper so that hardly either could hear. She lifted her tear stained face upwards.
"But I knew Harry was getting hurt by his uncle since the beginning of the summer."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ron looked as though she had slapped him. He whipped his head away from the window and stared at Hermoine in shock. Ginny's mouth dropped open but she remained silent. Ron's face was slowly turning red.
"What did you say?" he growled. His temper was never slow to start, but lately his emotions had been on the edge because of what had happened to his best friend.
"I-I said I knew," she whispered softly. Ron could make out the tears on her face even though it was mostly covered by her hair. But he brushed the image away, not feeling sorry for her in the least.
"You knew? You knew! And you let him get hurt? What the hell is the matter with you?" Ron was screaming, almost lunging himself at Hermoine. He was just not in the right state of mind to deal with something like this at that time. Hermoine noticed his face was redder then she had ever seen it. Ginny must have noticed too.
"Ron, sit down," Ginny said quietly. Her eyes were focused on the ground as if she knew what was going to happen because she spoke to her brother at a time like this. But Ron rounded on her next and didn't sit down. He seemed defiant to obey any commands given to him.
"Did you know about this too? Did everybody know and just not do anything because they don't care about Harry? Did you think that just because Harry is Harry Potter that he can live forever? Well, newsflash, he almost died! AND YOU KNEW IT WAS HAPPENING THE WHOLE TIME?" Ron's eyes were flashing dangerously and he was practically asking for someone to challenge him as though he were wrong. Ginny looked slightly taken aback at her brother's anger. She had seen him angry plently of times. But this was the worst she'd seen yet.
"I didn't know, Ron," Ginny said lower then a whisper. Ron, however took no notice of her words. He went to the wall and punched it, leaving a hole in its place. The only time he had ever been this angry was when Scabbers had supposivly died and Croshanks had "eaten" him. But even this surpassed his latter anger.
"You and your stupid genious, Hermoine," Ron was still red with anger and a knock rung throughout the room. He, however, decided to ignore the knock and keep yelling at Hermoine.
"You know that if it wasn't for Harry I'd still think you were stuck up? That's because you are! If it wasn't for Harry, we'd never be friends. And then, when you finally get friends, you find out that one is getting nearly killed and you just let him?" Ron was pacing the room angerily.
"Ron-please, let me explain," Hermoine said quickly, but Ron, who was past rational thinking, turned to Hermoine in anger. His blue eyes blazing with hate.
"I don't want to talk to you! Just stay away from me!" And with that, Ron took three long strides to the doorway and pushed past Fred and George who were standing in the door listening and down stairs and outside.
Ginny was holding her head in her hands and Hermoine was sitting nervously on the bed trying to get the scrutinizing stares of Fred and George off of her.
"Hermoine- you were suppose to be his friend," Hermoine's heart dropped at this. Ginny had lifted her head and was staring at what had been one of her best friends. Ginny's hands were shaking as terrible as her voice.
"Ginny-please," But Ginny only shook her head. Her face was visibly pale contrasting strangely against her bright red hair.
"You may have an excuse, Hermoine. But I can't talk to you right now. I need to think," Ginny then swept out of the room as her brother had and disappeared. Fred and George were staring at the girl, silent for once.
"Maybe Ron was right. Maybe you never really cared for him," and with that, the twins exited the room with a slam of the door, leaving Hermoine alone and feeling like she betrayed the one who trusted her enough with a secret.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It was dinner the next time they all met. Harry was sleeping on the couch. He usually ate when he woke up. Nobody seemed to want to wake the teenager from the sleep he had been deprived of for so long.
Remus and Sirius were actually eating, though only a little. It was dead quiet at the table. Usually the teenagers would do all the talking. Tonight, none dared to sit near each other except the twins.
Ron's eyes were still blazing, his face redder then usualy. Fred and George had an uncharacteristically anger surrounding them as well. Hermoine was only playing with her food, unable to eat because she was so upset. Ginny, as well could not eat.
Remus, Dumbledore, Sirius, and Mr. and Mrs Weasly were making forced conversation out of them. They noticed how the teenagers had moved so none sat near each other. Then, none of them talked. They hadn't heard one joke from Fred and George all night.
"What's the matter with you 5 of you?" Mrs. Weasly asked suddenly. Ron stood up angerily and made sure to not look at Hermoine. It was as though he had been waiting for a comment like that to make a exit.
"Mum, make sure you don't leave Hermoine in a room alone with Harry. She might hurt him more," and with that he walked out into the night, slamming the door. Hermoine was holding her head on one of her hands tirdely.
"What?" Remus was gazing between the teenagers confused. It was so unlike them to be so quiet. They were all used to the fights between Hermoine and Ron. But for all of them to be so angry at each other was more unlike them then them being quiet.
"Why don't you ask the know-it all betrayer?" George's voice stung like a beesting. And it was enough for Hermoine. She fled the room in tears, still severly shaken by the events that had happened earlier that day. A few minutes later, Ginny also got up from the table rather shakily, tears threatening to fall from her eyes.
"Mum, I'm sleeping in Ron's room tonight," and she followed her brother outside without another word or explanation.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hermoine didn't go upstairs were they had all expected her to flee to. She, instead, had gone to Harry's room, or better known as the living room. She gazed in at the frail body that seemed too vunerable and more unlike the Harry she knew then ever before.
She pulled up and chair beside him and put her head in her hands. She remembered how she had found out. But she shook those images from her head. She felt the hot tears still falling as Harry stirred beside her.
"He-rmione?" Hermoine turned her head towards Harry and then away again. She could hardly bare looking into those green eyes. They were far too trusting sometimes. Even if he hardly ever showed his trust.
"I didn't mean to wake you up," she said softly. Harry coughed slightly and looked at Hermoine in surprise.
"Why are you crying?" His head was titled slightly and Hermoine could see the faint bruises that still lined his face. She did this to him. She did this to him. Ron was right.
"Harry, I'm so sorry," and Hermoine, not thinking she was able to stand more rejection that day fled the room without a second glance and headed upstairs. Harry sighed and let his head hit the pillow again. He had some idea what this was about.
"Don't worry Hermoine," he whispered to the darkness. "I still don't blame you."
And Harry drifted off to a sleep that turned to a nightmare.
A/N: *sigh* They have issues. Ron's mad at Hermoine. Ginny's mad because she's confused. Fred and George hardly know anything except Hermoine betrayed Harry. Mrs. Weasly doesn't know why nobody was eating. Mr. Weasly is never home. Percy has terribly looking glasses. Sirius and Remus are almost annorexic(hehe...sorry) and Harry's just Harry. And Hermoine, she's blamed for everything, isn't she. Oh yeah, and Dumbledore.....well.....Dumbledore must be confused about everything. After all, he's suppose to know all and right now he has no idea what the teenagers problems are...I'm sensing control problems.
Well, now that that's cleared up, how about thanking some people?
Nicky: *grins sheepishly* uh, yeah. Sometimes I write these stories too fast and don't bother checking the spelling.. Sorry! That's a big problem for me. Anyways, the whole Dumbledore thing'll be explained in the next chapter. I didn't just land him there. Don't worry. Hope u stick around for the rest of the story!
SiriDragon: *grins* Thanks!!! Hope this chapter was ok.
Lei Dumbledore: Haha! Happeneds to me all the time. I'm very, ah, forgetful sometimes.... I can't believe I made you cry! I thought I was just high on turkey or something when I wrote it.....uh, no comment...Thanksgiving is just scary sometimes.. Yeah, being an American CAN have its advantages at times....Hope you like the rest of the story!!!
Badger Lord: Wow! Another person I made cry! I'm so glad you don't think it's getting worse. I was getting worried last chapter... *winks* Hope you like this chapter!
Heather: First timer, eh? And a crier at that! *laughs uncertainly* Uh, all this crying is starting to get weird.....I'm just kidding...Sort of. Anyways, gald u liked the story!!
