A/N: Just please review a lot?
Chapter six
When Hermione had finally decided to come back to the common room, the first thing that reached her ears was angry yells. At first Hermione didn't know to who they belong, but it soon became apparent as she open the portrait hole that they it was Ron, Harry, and Ginny.
It had been about a half hour since dinner ended and Hermione was just now walking in. She had needed some time to think things over, not to mention she really didn't want to face all the people who would be still gasping at her. She had only just realized how much of a bad influence she would be to the first and second years coming in. Hermione remember one girl who was named Bella (They all called her bell though). She was a second year and Hermione was sort of her mentor. Bella had told all of her friends how great Hermione was and why she was Bella's role model. Hermione just didn't want to go back to see the little curly blond haired girl's let down face.
Hermione knew she had to return to the common room sometime or another and peeves was starting to follow her around, so she was finally forced to make her way toward the Gryffindor tower. She was still helplessly confused as to what happened, but she had made a decision. She would NOT let what happen affect her relationship with Harry. She and Harry were meant to be... she wouldn't let some silly little thing like feeling a spark between her and Malfoy ruin her perfectly good relationship. Her and Malfoy were from different worlds, they hated each other and they always would. And that was final.
"I didn't do it on purpose OK RON!" Hermione could hear Ginny's yells ricochet when she entered the common room. There were a few scattered people around the room, most of the doing homework, but a few who were continually glance over to the fight.
"Well you gave her the idea" Ron yelled back. Ron and Ginny were both standing up, cheeks flaming. They were about 10 inches from being right in each other's faces and they looked like they could kill each other. Harry was sitting in an armchair next to them and was rolling his eyes. Unlike the two Weasley's he didn't seem angry as much as he seemed upset.
"Oh give it a rest the both of you, it doesn't matter" Harry said rubbing his forehead in annoyance.
"Why did you even suggest it, are you mental or what?!?" Ron yelled back to Ginny, ignoring Harry
"I already told you Ronald-" Ginny started raising her voice even, and sticking her finger in his face.
"DON'T call me Ronald! You not my mum!!! - And get you finger out of my face VIRGINA!" Ron shouted, sticking his finger right in Ginny's face as well.
"I had my finger her first!!!!" Ginny started to try and push Ron's Finger out of the way with her hand. They were only inches from each others faces and had rage written all over them
"I don't care move it!!!!" he started to push back and soon enough they were punching each other on the sides like they used to do when they were kids.
"Stop it the both of you!!!!" Roared Harry, trying to pull them apart. Neither or the Weasley's would stop though.
Hermione figured this might be a better time to make her entrance, so she step a little closer to them. She knew that almost everyone in the common room was gazing at her (in a good or bad way she did not know) but she tired to ignore it. Harry finally caught sight of her while about to start yelling at them again.
Harry face started to soften at the sight of Hermione. She tried to put on the biggest smile she could, but worry was still residing in gentle dark brown eyes.
"Hermione look I'm really sorry about what happened the other day and I just wanted-" Harry started talking extremely fast as he rushed over to Hermione, pulling her into a loving hug.
"No...I'm sorry Harry, I should've thought before I did something," Hermione said looking at him with a forced smile. Harry smiled back, but he must've miss Hermione's eyes. Because Hermione knew he never would smile if he had noticed the look in her eyes. They were cold, lifeless, she was at a loss, but she had made up her mind. She had to stay with Harry that was all there was to it.
"Look I'm gonna go to bed, you better try and pull those to apart before they rip each other's throats out" Hermione said, glancing toward Ginny and Ron who were almost on the floor by know.
"Are you sure you're ok Hermione, you can tell me anything you know" Harry said laying a gentle kiss on her lips. Again, Hermione could feel it. It was there, there was a difference. There was no feeling to it, it was bare and empty.
"Quite sure" Hermione gave Harry a last reassuring smile so he wouldn't worry. She had started to make her way upstairs, planning to look over her homework once again before bed, when she noticed Bella sitting on the bottom step.
Bella had her chin in her hands and was looking down at her black Mary Janes. Her golden blond curls were almost completely covering her face.
"Hey are you alright Bell?" asked Hermione taking a seat next to her on the stairs.
"Why did you do that Hermione?" Bella asked in her girly voice, pulling her head up from her chin.
"Well... I never should've, it was wrong and I know that know. I never should've betrayed Harry's trust. I'm sorry if I let you down Bell" Hermione was gazing skyward, not able to make herself look Bella in the eye.
"Yeah, it's ok, you still my role model Hermione. Everyone makes a mistake once in awhile"
"Alright well you better go finish you homework then, class early tomorrow remember"
"Yes I remember, night"
"Night"
Hermione watched as Bella ran over to her friends, who all had their homework spread out over the table. She heaved herself up and walked towards her dormitory. Lying in her bed felt so nice, she could've drifted off to sleep the moment her head hit the pillow. But she had other things on her mind. They kept her up half the night, but she couldn't help it. Nothing seemed to fit anymore, if her and Harry were meant to be, why did she feel that with Malfoy. She was almost scared to go to her first class tomorrow. It was Arithmancy with the Slytherin's, meaning with Malfoy and no Harry or Ron to help her out. She could only imagine the horrible chants and jeers she would receive from them.
"Oh why me???" Hermione groaned aloud to herself, throwing her face into her pillow.
