Ok, I'll shut up and go back to the story...
Harry woke up early and still tired. It was quite a good feeling, he got all his anger out my torturing a few bugs last night, and his scar didn't have the usual pains it did when he first wakes up. "Weird." He muttered, putting on his glasses. He looked out the window, seeing the owls swooping into the owlery, getting ready for their big delivery during breakfast. He scurried into some clothes, remembering he had classes today. He looked at the remnants of his schedule, then decided it was hopeless. At first, he just couldn't remember what had compelled him to do such a thing, but then as he walked past Ron's open curtain, he remembered. Ron woke up, after hearing Harry do so.
"Harry!" He called after him, but all this did was wake everyone else. Ron hurried out of bed and into the common room. "Harry." Harry was sitting in one of the couches, ignoring the fact that Ron was calling him. "I'm sorry, if you'll just listen to me for a second!" Ron begged.
"Hermione talked you into this." Harry said, determined that that was the only thing he would say to Ron, or anyone, for that matter. Ron sighed. It was true, of course he wanted Harry back as a friend. Anyone would. But that doesn't change the fact that Hermione told him to make the first move.
"So what if she did. She's talked us both into doing things numerous times!" Ron said defensively. Harry tried not talking to him, but this called for a good comeback.
"Did she talk you into asking Cho out? Did she?" Harry asked. Dean, Seamus, and Neville all started watching, followed by Hermione, Lavender, and Parvati.
"Of course she didn't! She cares about you!" Ron said, yes, Hermione had also talked him into getting her friends with Harry again.
"Cares about me enough to not tell me that you were going out with Cho! Cares about me. That's a good one."
"You said you were going to kill me! She was trying to protect me!" More people came into the common room to watch. Hermione was turning a deep puce.
"If I knew it was you, I wouldn't do that! You don't see me pulling out my wand, do you?" Which was almost false. He had been seriously considering it, but then realized that Ron could do the same.
"You said you didn't care who it was! Even so, I bet if Malfoy did it, you'd be in no hurry to even hex him!" Ron screamed.
"How could I do anything? Hermione had someone watching me the whole time!"
"Only because she didn't want you to hurt me!"
*****
That went on until they had to go to Herbology. In the hall, Ron thought it was no use and went off to find Cho. When he announced this, Harry threw his books on the floor and drew out his wand.
"Don't do anything you'll regret, Harry. Just ignore it, just ignore it."
"Potter, getting his anger tickled? No way! Unheard-of!" Malfoy said behind them, followed by a roar of laughter.
"Go to Hell, Malfoy." Harry said turning around to face him. Of course there is no Malfoy alone. With him were Pansy, Crabbe, and Goyle.
"Oooooo! Potter used his foul mouth on me!"
"Just ignore it, ignore it, ignore it." Hermione warned
"Your mouth isn't the only foul thing on you, Malfoy, I'd like to see your hair when you ran out of hair-gel." The Gryfindors laughed
"I think you could use some hair-gel, Potter!" the Slytherins laughed
"Just ignore it, just ignore it."
"No thanks, I'm not that superficial."
"Obviously! Look at your friends compared to mine! Granger, whose hair hasn't been washed in days, and Weasel, who looks like his head's been set on fire."
"Ron's not my friend." The Gryfindor group didn't laugh. They were actually quite silent.
"Oh, that's right, I believe you missed him snogging your girl during dinner last night. It was quite funny." Harry shoved Draco.
"Get out of my face, scum." And with that, Harry picked up his books and started walking to class, everyone else behind him. He hadn't planned on talking to Hermione, what with him despising her with an undying passion, but right before they got to Herbology, Harry whispered, "Did Ron really snog Cho last night?"
"Harry, I'm sorry, I was the first one to walk out. Of course Draco was right! He's every other insult, but he's not dishonest!"
"So you think I need Hair-Gel?"
Professor Sprout put them into pots, four to a pot. Ron was working with Cho, of course, and Harry with Hermione. They all chose their groups, except for the above mentioned four.
"I see Potter and Granger aren't in a group, let's see, Ron and Cho come work with them, that's it."
Harry clenched his teeth. They were working with Honeypuplir, a plant that gives off a venomous, but very sweet sap. 'Maybe if I took some of this, I could slip it into Ron's drink during lunch....'
Hermione seemed to be telepathic, though, since she sang quietly, "Don't even think about it."
"I wasn't thinking about that." Harry said. Then, a scream erupted from another pot. A girl had swallowed a drop of the Honeypuplir, and her face was growing redder and redder. This was obviously Cho's best friend.
"Oh my God!" She said and on the Professor's command, they were racing down to the hospital wing. Hermione took this chance to talk to Harry and Ron alone.
"Listen to me." She hissed. "You two are the thickest people I have ever seen in my life, Harry you're being completely selfish, you should be happy for your friend's good fortune and Ron, you're so dumb, asking her out when you know Harry's liked her for years! Honestly! Fighting over a girl? That's so thick." Ron and Harry thought for a moment. Harry looked at Ron and smiled. Hermione smiled hopefully, waiting for 'I'm sorry' to leave both of their lips. Harry opened his mouth.
"I can't believe I was about to forgive you , you stupid ugly scum. You know you would fit in perfectly alongside Malfoy. You take git to a whole new level you stupid, ugly, freak." Harry said. The bell rang.
