A/N:: Thanks to everyone that's reviewed!! I know I left you on a cliffhanger last time, but this time I won't. Promise. Ok, to the story!!
Harry leaned his back up against the wall, just in case the couple would see him. Ron noticed that Filch was down the hall and would be wondering what they were doing. They were, of course doing the same thing they were at dinner.
'Forget it!' Harry thought, 'I'll just go around the corner!' With that, Harry flung himself out of the shadows and into the entrance hall, to see Ron and Cho, well, yes, doing that. Harry gasped. Ron saw Harry out of the corner of his eye and broke away from Cho.
"Harry, I was going to tell you but...." Ron started. Harry spat on Ron's shoes and started running to the common room.

Meanwhile, in the common room, Seamus noticed that Harry was gone after trying to convince Hermione to come back down and join the 'party'. They got everyone in the common room to form search parties to look for Ron and Cho. They asked everyone they passed if they saw them, but no one had. Neville's group, which was still a bit light-headed, passed Harry going to the common room. By this time, Harry was in tears. They followed him all the way to the dormitories. Neville stayed in the common room with Harry, everyone else went to find the other people. One by one, groups came back, leaving one person at the common room while the rest got everyone back. Soon, everyone was back in the common room except Ron, and some people were about to leave for Astronomy. No one had seen Harry since he went into the dormitory, though quite a few times people tried yelling up to the dormitory to make him come down.
Neville was the first to get up. Most people followed. They made to the door, but Hermione shouted, "Wait!" and ran up to the boys' dormitory. "Harry we'll be late to Astronomy!" She said, pulling his curtain across, to find him curled up in a ball on his bed. His face was sopping wet from tears and one of his pillows was broken open and the feathers were coming out. Hermione repaired this quickly with a flick of her wand and said, "Come ON, Harry!" Hermione said.
"All right, all right." He said, getting up. He gathered his Astronomy stuff. He screamed curses and tore apart his schedule. "Damn it!!!" He yelled, stomping on the shreds of paper. Hermione didn't need to ask what was wrong, she knew he had just realized they had Astronomy with Cho's house. Hermione grabbed his books, along with hers, and dragged him down to the common room. Everyone suddenly seemed very interested by their surroundings as Harry came down the stairs. Seamus and Dean looked over a few of the different potions essays, Fred and George looked at an order form, Lavender and Parvati looked at the rug in front of the fire very intently, as if trying to burn it with their eyes.
"Let's go," Harry said, braking the odd silence. "Give me my books!" He added as Hermione slid his books across the table to reach him. Everyone (in their year) walked out of the common room. There was a bitter silence between them as they reached the Astronomy tower.

"....This being said, everyone grab a telescope and a partner and begin filling out those practice star charts for the test. You may talk silently among yourselves." the Professor said, pacing around the classroom. Harry and Hermione worked together (obviously) and Ron and Cho at the other end of the room. Hermione gave Harry a cynical look.
"What? I suppose you'll tell me that I should make up with Ron? Honestly out of all the people in the school, he should know not to go near her!" Harry said.
" Of course, I'm with you. Ron did a perfectly horrible thing and I don't know why he did it!" Hermione replied, filling in the star chart.
"....You....don't....know..." Harry said to himself, pondering every word down to the last letter. "But you did know! Remember that day, on the train, hang on, even Ginny knew! What were you playing at, thinking that you could hide that from me for so long? I don't even know how you could keep something that big a secret! How long were they going out?" Harry was talking very fast and people were looking. Of course everyone in the room knew what was going on. Harry noticed this. "Hang on a minute, all of them know?"
"Harry, please, just listen to me!"
"All of them knew? Why doesn't everyone just keep secrets from Harry? It's the new trend isn't it? Oh, anyone can go out with Harry's girlfriend, it's ok, he won't notice. Hell, even his best friend is at it!"
"God, Harry shut up for a minute!"
"No! you think you can hide something from me and then tell me to shut up? You know what? I've given up on being social!" And with that, Harry ran out of the room. Hermione chased after him.
'Why did they put this tower in a place with so many staircases?' Hermione thought. It was true. In the hallway outside the tower, their were seven staircases, each leading somewhere else. 'Oh, forget it!' Hermione thought, and ran back into class.
By the time the class let out, Harry was asleep. Ron looked into his 4- poster, but only to see if Harry was still awake. He wasn't, so Ron went to sleep, feeling guilty, mad at himself, and mad at Cho for being so damn pretty.
