Chapter Fourteen: Honestly

Hermione sprinted down the corridors. She heard Ron, following close behind, shouting at her with desperation. She came to the Fat Lady and skidded to a halt. She yelled the password and hurried inside the common room. She ran across it and stomped up the girls' staircase. Just before she made it inside her dormitory, Ron caught up with her.

"Hermione, listen to me!" Ron pleaded, as he put his hand on her wrist.

She ripped her wrist out of his grasp and whirled around to face him. She wasn't hurt, confused, or pissed. She was all three, mixed together. The rage was building up inside of her; taking control over all of the other emotions. She glared up at him, her breathing becoming very heavy.

"Hermione, please!"

She couldn't take it anymore. She slapped him across the face with all of the strength she could muster. He didn't even try to stop her. He just flinched.

"What the HELL have you DONE?" Hermione screamed, her voice quaking with every word.

"Hermione, you have to understand! It's wasn't like that!"

"Oh yeah, what was it, then?" Hermione asked, not sure if she wanted to know.

"I, um, was coming back from Quidditch practice, and wanted to come meet you."

Hermione nodded her head sarcastically, "Mm hm."

"No, just listen to me, okay? Now, where was I? Oh yeah, and I wanted to come to the library and meet you. That's when I came across Jasmine. She was stunned when I found her, so I did the right thing and revived her. But-I really don't know why I did that, now that I think about it. I should've just left her there. After all, things wouldn't have turned out this way if I had."

"Ron!" Hermione said, trying to keep Ron on task.

"Right, so I revived her. She told me how you came up on her and tried to attack her and---"

"I DID NO SUCH THING! She came up on me! She said how I ruined things between you two, when really, it was her who ruined things between US!!! But that's not the point. The point is, she tried to hit me, but I was too quick for her. I ducked, and she hit the wall. When she was messing with her hand, I got my wand out. We said some things, but I don't really remember what." Hermione didn't want to tell Ron that Jasmine's remark on Victor was what set her off. "Then, I stunned her and got the hell out of there."

"So, Jasmine lied to me?" Ron asked.

"Yes, what do you expect from someone like her?

"I dunno. I guess I just didn't think."

"Yes, that's dead on. So, are you going to tell me how you went from reviving her, to kissing her??"

"Right, well, she said a load of stuff. She went on about you and how you weren't right for me. Then she, er, kissed me."

Hermione felt a twinge of pain at his words. "Go on. Tell me how you were trying so hard to get her off of you." Hermione said sarcastically.

"I did try to get her off! She just kept coming back!" Ron said defiantly.

"Oh, right." She said, her voice still sarcastic. "There is no possible way that she was stronger that you! You and I both know that. If you really had wanted to, you could've gotten her off."

"That's what I was trying to do! You just walked in when I was doing it successfully, that's all."

"Look Ron, if you still fancy Jasmine, why didn't you just tell me?"

"I don't!"

"Obviously you do! You were just kissing her in the corridor."

"Hermione--- please! I'm trying to tell you that she forced herself on me! Why can't you believe me?"

"Because I saw you two. You had your hands on her shoulders and it didn't look like you were pushing her away at all. In fact, it looked like you were enjoying it." Hermione spat bitterly.

"But I had my hands on her shoulders because I WAS pushing her away!"

"Why should I believe you?"

"Well, because you know that I would never hurt you again. I almost destroyed you, these past couple of months. I don't ever want to do that to you again. Seeing you like that............because of me.............I... I just.....wouldn't be able to take it. Hermione, look at me. I don't love Jasmine. I never did. I love you and you only."

A small tear trickled down Hermione's face. "Ron, I just.......don't know if I believe that right now. I need to think."

"Hermione......." Ron didn't seem to know what to say anymore.

"I don't want you to see her again." Hermione said, as she looked down at the floor.

"No worries there, because I don't want to. But what if she sneaks up on you again. We can't keep going through this. She'll make our lives hell."

"She already has." Hermione took a deep breath. "So that settles it. We need to get her out of your life. She needs to find someone else to destroy. I don't really know who we'll use, though. She'd probably make the person suffer."

"How about Victor?"

"What about him?" Hermione asked cautiously.

"Why don't you use him? That way, she'd out of my life, and he's out of yours."

"But Ron, Victor and I haven't spoken since I was in Bulgaria. He hasn't been bothering me."

"Right, well, I can tell that what happened between you two, still bothers you. It bothers me as well."

"Well of course it bothers me! It's the biggest mistake I ever made. But, can we drop it? I don't want to talk about it ever again."

"You've said it yourself, it's good to talk about your problems. That's one of the many things you've been preaching to Harry and I, over all these years."

"It's just difficult, okay? So, let's get back on the matter at hand. How are we going to go about getting Victor and Jasmine together, and away from us?"

"Hmmmmm, I'm not sure. Can you sent him a letter?"

Hermione reluctantly agreed by nodding her head. "I'll tell him he owes me. I'll send him a picture of her and tell him that she's his biggest fan or something."

"She'll definitely go for him. After all, he's known world wide."

"No that we have this sorted out, can I get to bed? I'm quite tired."

"Alright, then. See you in the morning, love." He leaned in to kiss her, but she moved out of the way. "Hey! Why won't you let me kiss you goodnight?"

Hermione smiled evilly. "Because you haven't earned it. I'm punishing you until further notice." Hermione said playfully. She wanted to forget about everything that had just happened. So, she blocked it out of her mind.

"Ugh! C'mon! That's not fair!" Ron said, catching on to Hermione's new mood.

"I'm afraid that's too bad." She smiled at him. "Goodnight." She opened up her Dormitory door, and disappeared inside.
