Chapter Twelve: Payback's A Bitch

Nearly three weeks have passed since Hermione and Ron made up. Hermione was doing a lot better. She was returning to her old self, and everyone was noticing. She no longer sat idly in class and she no longer had circles under her eyes. Her life was an emotional rollercoaster, and now that she was with Ron, she was speeding upwards. Her life had taken a turn for the better. Everything was out in the open with Ron. She told him everything about the last couple of months. He, in turn, told her everything that there was to tell about Jasmine. She felt like she could finally breath; like there was a huge weight lifted off of her chest.

Everything just seemed right.

Of course, once everyone had returned from their holiday, it only took a few days for everyone to find out about them,. Neither of them cared. Gryffindor even had a party for them. Ginny and Harry had thrown it. It was a night of blushing and quiet murmurs for Ron and Hermione. Meanwhile, everyone congratulated the both of them for finally coming to their senses. Hermione and Ron had abandoned the party for a private little celebration in Hermione's room. Ron had kissed her passionately on her bed. She could hear his heart beating rapidly as they carried on into the night.

After a few hours of the most titalizing snogging, Hermione had insisted that he went back to his dorm. She was afraid people would walk in on them. After all, what kind of prefect would have a boy snogging her senselessly...........on her bed, in the girls dormitory.

**************************************************************************** ***

Hermione was walking down a long corridor, heading for the library. She was thinking about which book she was going to read for leisure, when someone grabbed her arm. She whipped around to see that it was her loving boyfriend.

"Hello love. Did I give you a fright?" Ron asked.

"Oh, no---- you just caught me off guard." She said as she looked away. Ever since Victor had done......that..... to her, she was a bit jumpy when somebody grabbed her without warning.

"I'm on my way to Quidditch practice, just now. Harry is going to help me work on my goal keeping."

"Well, what did you need? I'm heading for the library at the moment."

"I just wanted to give you this----" Ron leaned in and kissed her, softly at first. He pressed into her as she let out a soft moan. He opened up his mouth and licked her lips, asking for permission to let him in. When she opened her mouth to his, their tongues made a soft contact. They fell deeper and deeper into the breathtaking kiss.

Little did they know, someone was watching.

Hermione pulled away, reluctantly. "Ron----- you're going to be late."

He sighed and brushed a piece of hair off of her cheek. "I know, but it was worth it. See you later, love." He planted one more kiss on her before he left.

Hermione smiled and resumed walking to the library. She was in a particularly dark corridor when she felt someone grab her arm, again.

"Ron, what--- " She froze. It was Jasmine.

"So, Hermione is it? I guess you're the one that Ron is pining after, now." She said with an evil glare.

"Yes, Ron and I are together." Hermione uttered nervously.

"Well, you see, I wasn't quite done with him. But he dumped me for you. You stole him away from me." Jasmine looked Hermione up and down. "You aren't worthy of him. You aren't even pretty. Because of you, I got rejected. And now you're going pay." Jasmine hissed as she pushed up her sleeves.
