Chapter Two
"Hogwarts, the sixth time"
The last month with the Dursleys, with Ron and Hermione near him, passed very quickly and, without thinking of it, Harry arrived to the 1st of September, day of the departure; the Dursleys took them to the station, then the three went through the barrier and on the train, arranging themselves in a compartment, and they passed the time joking and laughing; at one point Harry had to go out from the compartment and when he returned there, he found the door locked and saw a very disturbing ( for him) thing: Ron and Hermione were kissing very passionately; thinking of not disturbing them he remained outside in the passage but after a while he looked again and felt very very bad: they were still kissing!!!
It was so strange, but at the same time so true. he was jealous of his best friend. of Ron. He decided to entry for changing his robes, dressing his Hogwarts uniform, so unlocked the door and tried to be the same Harry but he evidently he didn't succeed in the attempt.
In fact, just gone off the train, Hermione took him away and asked him:
"You have seen us, don't you?"
Harry nodded weakly, then said: "But be calm, it is all right; and in this way you could also stay far from me without problems." Saying the last words, a tear slided on his face; he turned on and went away, taking a chariot only for himself.
After the banquet, without speaking with anyone, he went up in the common room; when Hermione and Ron arrived, he moved for staying as farthest as possible from them, then seeing Hermione staring him and shaking her head, he stood up and went to the dorm. "Sincerely," he thought in the bed, "I hoped the start of the sixth year at Hogwarts being better." and, with a great difficulty, he fell asleep.
The next morning he went very early to run around the Quidditch pitch, and when he was returning to have a shower, he vented his rage on a little tree, that he broke in two pieces with only a punch; someone saw him but didn't understood the reason of his behaviour, and Ron less than the others: Hermione didn't tell him that he saw them on the train, so he didn't understood because Harry was going always far from him.
The first lesson of the term was Potions and for the first time in his life he was attentive on the work, thinking that now his only "friend" was Snape, even if with the others the teacher behaved with him as always; at the end of the lesson, however, Snape told him that if he had something to confide, that evening he would be in his office.
Harry thanked him and went to the History of Magic class, the more annoying of all the classes; however, he succeeded in concentrate for all the time, doing the same in the other classes; he decided to sink all his sufferings in the work, so he also exceeded Hermione, with a great satisfaction, even if he tried to not watch her for all the day, if he could. In the evening he went down to Snape's office, where the Potions Master welcomed him very friendly, saying him:
"If you want to confide me something, I'm here... you have only to speak. "
"How do you know that I'm suffering?" Harry asked
"It's a long story. it starts when I had your age and I was in love with your mother. but she was with James, your father. and I decided to stop suffering giving all my energies to the work. trying to forget her."
"You. you loved my mother?" he asked, very surprised
"Yes. but, about you. today, when I saw you working so hard, I understood that there was a problem. plus, you were willingly far from Granger. so I understood. she is the problem, isn't she? "
"Yes. I love her. but I saw her kissing with Ron. " Harry confirmed; Snape gave him a Laughing Potion to make him a little happy; but in the next days he found that on him it didn't worked. he was suffering too much. When the first Hogsmeade weekend arrived, Hermione asked him to go with them; but he answered: "Oh no, I don't want to spoil your day together" he said ironically, then he went to the library to study, but he didn't succeed in concentrating. he was crying thinking that in the same moment Ron was with Hermione enjoying the day. and probably snogging.
With the passing of the days, he felt his rage decreasing, even if he still stayed far from them, not making totally peace for two reasons: first, he still loved Hermione, second he wanted to follow the Snape's suggestion of the summer, for not put them in a risk; unfortunately, something unexpected ruined his plan: Malfoy. He also saw them snogging, at Hogsmeade, and he also was shocked, so he insulted them continuously and Harry had to bring him away with the strong manners; then he told him: "Draco, I also saw them, on the Express, and I felt as you. but now I'm succeeding in avoiding them and I feel better.. try this way. it is an advice. " Then he left him, going in the Transfiguration class, where Professor McGonagall gave him fifteen points for casting well at the first try a very difficult spell, that transformed an object in a bird; at the same time, she rebuked Hermione, because she was too distracted. This was taken by Harry with a satisfied face that she saw; immediately after the lesson, she ran away sobbing, and he shouted: "What were you thinking? About the next time?"; nobody understood what he was referring, but she did and started sobbing louder. Harry decided to go to Hagrid's hut, drank a tea with him, heard his advices knowing that he wouldn't go applying them, then returned to study.
In the next days Draco tried very often to speak to him and finally succeeded: "Thank you, Harry. I tried to follow your suggestion and now I feel better. "; Harry smiled, then he hugged him and from that moment they stayed very long time together. Snape noticed it and when ,after his question, they explained the reason, the Potion Master grinned saying: "Oh, well. you understood that. the union is the strength. I'm glad you are doing this. " then sent them in the respective dorms.
The same evening, Harry met Ron in the common room and he asked Harry why he was behaving in that way; he answered: "Ask it to your Miss Granger, Ronald Weasley. she knows it; it is strange that she didn't tell you this. " and went to the dorm.
One night, however, he woke up abruptly, with the scar burning on his face, and went down in the common room to reflect forward the fire. he dreamed Hermione, dead, and heard the Voldemort's voice, telling to him that was on his knees, the wand in the hand "Very good work. you have killed her. now I know you are a good servant"; he knew that after his mother's refusal, Snape became a Death Eater, even if after he became a spy, and he didn't wanted to commit the same error; so, from the next morning he decided to be more kind with her, sending away the bad thoughts of revenge every time they came to his mind.
