Still not knowing that Tom had indeed been found, Ron and Emily walked into the library to check incase Tom had decided to go in there. As they entered they bumped into the person that they least wanted to meet at that time.
"Emily, Ron, I'm so glad you two made up!" Hermione said hugging them both.
Emily and Ron both had their mouths open. Not because of Hermione hugging them, but because of Hermione's new look, straight hair, make-up and jewelry. Harry then appeared from behind a bookcase and looked so happy to see Emily and Ron.
"Hey guys, I heard about you two getting together, good work!" Harry said holding out his hand waiting for Ron to shake it.
But Ron didn't notice Harry's hand out in front of him; he couldn't take his eyes of Hermione. He didn't care that he promised to hate her for the rest of his life, he didn't care about what she did too him, all he cared about at the moment was how beautiful he thought Hermione was.
'What a change! I could get used to that look!' Ron thought checking out Hermione.
"Ron? You awake there Ron?" Emily asked shaking her hand in front of his face.
"Gorgeous," He mumbled staring at Hermione with dreamy eyes.
"What's gorgeous?" Emily asked stepping in front of Ron, breaking his eye contact on Hermione.
"Oh! Err. who else but you Em," Ron said trying to look at Hermione.
Emily blushed and said, "Gee, thanks Ron."
Ron looked back at Emily and smiled, then pushed her to aside, and there she was again, Hermione, still gorgeous as ever. Emily then noticed Ron staring at Hermione with dreamy eyes. Emily scowled, grabbed Ron's arm and said, "We best get going, people to find, see you guys in class!"
Emily then dragged Ron out of the library, who stared at Hermione until she was completely out of his view. Once they were out the library, Ron mouthed 'wow!' and stared at the library door, hoping to see Hermione again.
"What was that all about?" Emily asked angrily, trying to get Ron's attention.
"Huh, what?" Ron said snapping out of his trance.
"You were goggling over Hermione!" Emily said slightly shaking.
"Her new look caught my eye! You're still my favourite girl Em, I'd never dump you for anybody," Ron said pulling Emily close to him.
"I'm so glad to hear that," Emily said hugging him.
Ron wrapped his arms around her and looked back at the library door, wishing to see Hermione, one more time. He felt so bad for lying to Emily, but he couldn't deny his feelings he had for Hermione.
"I love you Ron," Emily said closing her eyes and snuggled closer to Ron.
Ron stood there for a moment, shocked at what he heard Emily say. Did she say she loved him? Ron stood there in shock for a minute then said slowly, "I-I love you too Em."
'Oh shit! Could this get any worse?' Ron asked himself.
At that moment, Hermione came bursting out the library in tears. Ron and Emily brook apart and Hermione came running over to them. Emily put her hand on her shoulder and asked, "Hermione, what's wrong?"
"Harry! He d-d-dumped me! H-h-he said that he l-l-likes Cho again a-a-and wants to be w-w-with her!" Hermione sobbed and cried on Emily's shoulder.
Ron gulped and thought, 'Who was I kidding, of course it could get worse!'
*~*~*~*
"Oh man, did you catch the look on his face? Blondie Boarder was shocked when he saw me and Lawz together!" James said laughing with Michael who both couldn't get over what Tom's face was like.
"I know! His face is usually funny but that one was priceless!" Michael said tears rolling down his face.
Laura walked along quietly beside them, hoping that they'd stop bagging Tom some time soon. James then grabbed her around her waist and asked, "What's wrong babe? You look a bit stressed."
"I'm fine Jamie, I just wish you two would stop bagging Tom, he's not all that bad," she said quietly.
"He's not what?! Lawz, babe, you don't still like this guy do you?" James asked worriedly.
"Course not, but. do you guys hear that?" Laura asked hearing the sound of people singing.
"Yeah, sounds like people trying to sing," Michael putting his ear against the wall.
"It's coming for that classroom," James said pointing at one of the Transfiguration classrooms.
"Let's crash their party," Michael said and burst opened the door.
Inside the room, Ginny, Paul, Rhys and Tom all stopped playing instruments and singing at the sight of Michael standing in the doorway grasping at the sight before him.
"Gin, what on earth are you doing?" Michael said rushing over to her.
"For heavens sake Michael, their my friends I can spend time with them," Ginny said pushing him away.
"Thought I told you freaks to stay away from her!" Michael yelled.
"Band practice, she's part of the band Michael," Rhys said holding his electric guitar.
"Not you're band she's not! I won't allow it!" Michael screamed and pulled Ginny away from the microphone.
"Michael, let go of me!" Ginny squealed trying to throw Michael off her.
"Let go of her Michael," Tom said pointing his wand at Michael.
"Ha! And what will you do? Frighten me with that hideous face of yours," Michael said laughing at his own joke.
"Good one, Mike!" James said bending over laughing.
"That's enough, both of you!" Laura yelled over the top of their squeals of laughter.
Michael and James both stopped laughing and stared at Laura, who stood in the doorway, with a very serious look on her face. James grabbed her shoulders and said, "Listen babe, he's not worth fighting for, let us handle it."
James bent down and kissed her, which made Tom nearly drop the guitar he was holding. He tried to fight the urge to go over there and smash James' face in, but it was no use. Tom placed down the guitar quickly, ran over and pulled James off Laura and stood in front of her.
"Leave her alone James," Tom said blocking Laura from James.
"She's my girlfriend, remember? She dumped you and she's know mine so stop trying to win her back," James said and threw Tom aside and wrapped his arm around Laura's waist.
"I might be in with a chance," Tom mumbled and turned back around slowly.
Michael let go of Ginny and went over to Tom and put his arm round his shoulders. He then whispered in his ear and said, "If this girl had any taste at all, she'd never get back with you."
"Michael, just go, we need our practice so could you leave please?" Paul asked walking away from the drum kit he was using.
"Not yet, Pauly, me and James have got a little bit of business to take care of before we go anywhere," Michael said quietly now walking over to Paul.
"What kind of business?" Rhys asked.
"The kind of business of taking Ginny away from you lot," Michael said and grabbed hold of Ginny.
"Get off me you prick!" Ginny screamed kicking and screaming to get him off of her.
All Paul, Rhys and Tom ran over and threw Michael off of Ginny and onto the floor. Paul took Ginny aside while Rhys and Tom pinned Michael to the floor. While all this was going on, James took out his wand and cast a spell on Tom which made Tom fall unconscious. Rhys then suddenly stopped kicking and punching Michael and went to Tom's side.
"Tom! Can you hear me? Tom!" Rhys yelled trying to shake Tom awake.
"What did you do to him?" Ginny asked going to Tom's side as well.
James smirked and said, "Don't you worry, he'll be out of it sooner or later."
Michael got up, smirked widely at the sight of Tom and winked at James. James pretended to fan himself down which made Michael crack up laughing as he went over to join him and Laura. But Laura seemed to be the only one, except Rhys and Ginny, which didn't see what was so funny about Tom hurt and unconscious on the floor.
Laura threw a glare at James, who didn't notice, and jogged over on the spot on the floor where Tom lay unconscious. Laura kneeled down next to Tom, picked up his hand and held it close to her. Rhys grinned slightly over in Ginny's direction as this, and Ginny gave him the thumbs up without the others noticing. The only person who didn't find this a good thing was James; he walked over to Laura in a towering rage and pulled Laura away from Tom.
"Ouch! James, be careful!" Laura screeched as he pulled her off the floor roughly.
"I don't want my girlfriend holding hands with the enemy!" James yelled and dragged Laura over to the door.
Laura struggled to try to escape but once Michael came to help James out, there was no way she was able to get both of them off. Ginny watched them drag her friend out the door who looked like she really wanted to stay and help. Once they'd left, Ginny turned her attention back to Tom who hadn't change a bit in all this time.
"Damn it!" Rhys mumbled hitting his head on his arm.
"You guys ready to continue with practice?" asked Paul who came out from behind the drum kit.
"You coward! Were you hiding behind there the whole time?" Rhys demanded.
"Not all the time, just hid here after Tom fell unconscious," Paul whimpered coming around to where they were on the floor.
Paul noticed Tom lying quietly on the floor and pointed at him and asked, "What did they use on him this time?"
Rhys growled and was about to turn around and punch Paul but luckily Ginny stopped him just in time. Ginny then explained to Paul what James had just done to Tom. When Ginny had finished, Paul didn't seem at all surprised.
"He'll get over it," Paul said shrugging over back over to his drum kit.
"He's knocked out! How's he supposed to get over that quickly?" Rhys yelled and stood up from the floor.
"Paul, Rhys! Both of you stop this fighting!" Ginny screamed, "Neither of you fighting is gonna help Tom in the slightest!"
At that moment, a little quite moan was heard from on the floor, it was Tom who was starting to wake up slowly. Ginny helped Tom get up and got him to sit on a chair which he nearly fell off from.
"Does it hurt anywhere Tom?" Ginny asked examining him carefully.
Tom nodded and pointed to his heart. Ginny bowed her head and pulled up a chair next to Tom and put her arm around his shoulders.
"We understand Tom," Ginny said, "Don't we guys?"
"Err. yeah!" Paul and Rhys said catching on.
Tom let out another moan and threw Ginny's arm off him. None of them had experienced a broken heart how he had. None of them had to go to school and try get on with class work while having to suffer watching your enemy kiss someone you really cared about.
Tom then let his head fall into his hands and pictured Laura and James sharing another passionate kiss. The sight made him feel sick to the stomach. He was aware that tears were rolling down his cheeks while all this was happening, and soon Ginny's arm was back around him and Rhys and Paul both stood by him.
*~*~*~*
While waiting for their teacher to arrive, Emily, Ron and now Hermione stood in their usual corner and talked or rather tried to cheer Hermione, who still was in tears over Harry dumping her. While Emily was hugging her, Ron still couldn't get over how beautiful Hermione was after her little transformation.
'I so wish I could do what Emily's doing to her right now,' Ron thought watching the two girls hug.
"Thanks you guys, I'm glad I've got great friends like you two," Hermione sniffled blowing her nose.
"It's alright Hermione, Harry doesn't deserve you anyway," Emily said trying to comfort her.
"Damn right he doesn't!" Ron said loudly stopping all the chatter that was going around him.
"Mr Weasley, stopping the crowd with that screechy voice again I see?" came Snape's cold, cruel voice from behind Ron.
Ron felt a huge shiver go down his spine at the sound of Snape's voice. Ron looked up into Snape's dark and evil eyes and wondered what punishment he was going to get for his voice. Ron gulped just thinking of the consequences.
"I-I'm sorry sir, it won't happen again," Ron said stuttering.
Snape let out a short cold laugh which startled Ron whose books left his hands and spread themselves open on the floor. As he went to pick them up, Snape grabbed his shoulder and stopped him.
"You make sure to keep that irritating voice quite in my class, now get your books off the floor and get inside my classroom," Snape said in a low cold voice, "That goes for the rest of you as well!"
The class all gave a little jump and followed in behind Snape, Ron bringing up the rear. They all took their places and once Snape had given them their instructions, they all started getting to work on making the potion set for this lesson.
When Ron went to start work with Emily, Hermione gave a little whimper and looked at Ron with puppy dog eyes. Ron felt his cheeks burn up once again.
"Please, oh, please, PLEASE, Ron go Harry's partner. I don't think I could stand being with him for a whole lesson," Hermione pleaded.
She gave more puppy dog eyes and smiled sweetly at him, hoping to change his mind. Ron soon gave in and went over to join Harry who was busy staring at the wall. Ron sighed and sat down next to him with all the ingredients.
"What are you doing with those?" Harry asked pointing at the ingredients Ron placed down between them.
"I'm putting them here so we can get some work done," Ron said grumpily and started cutting up some pond weed.
Harry took the knife out of Ron's hand and stared at him, waiting for him to answer his question properly. Ron simply took his knife back and continued on cutting up the weed.
"Ron, shouldn't you be working with Emily?" Harry asked interested, "Has something happened between you two?"
The last part he asked he sounded like he was hoping that something was wrong between them. Ron stopped cutting and looked out of the corner of his eye at Harry he had a very strange look on his face, like he was expecting something certain for Ron to say.
"Everything between me and Em is fine," Ron said rather nervously.
"Ron, that wasn't a very firm answer," Harry said adding some more ingredients to the potion.
Ron finished copping the weed and added it to the cauldron. He then sat there for a moment in silence until Harry's hand came into his view and distracted his thoughts. Ron snapped out of his trance and continued helping Harry.
"So what's wrong with you and Emily?" Harry asked casually as he doubled checked the amount of powdered newts.
"Nothing. well, nothing really," Ron said trying to not to let on to much.
"It's Hermione isn't it?" Harry said and turned to face Ron.
Ron felt himself blush more than he usually did. He looked at Harry, trying to hide his bright red cheeks. Harry tilted his head in a way which made Ron give in and told Harry about his feelings for Hermione come back.
"That's why I dumped her," Harry said and watched the potion boil.
"Because of her new image?" Ron asked slightly confused.
"Well, yeah. I knew she changed her image just to get more guys attention and I knew I'd end up getting hurt so, I made up I wanted Cho," Harry said shrugging.
"But she's beautiful! And smart, and helpful, and thoughtful, caring-," Ron started.
"If you love her so much then why haven't you ditched Emily already?" Harry asked glumly.
Ron sat there for a moment, thinking. He guessed he just didn't want to lose Emily altogether just for Hermione. He loved Emily so much, but he couldn't deny his feelings he had had and still has for Hermione.
"I guess, I don't totally want to let go of Em," Ron said guiltily.
"I'd make up yah mind Ron, cause sooner or later you gotta choose one and the longer you leave it, the more it's gonna hurt Em," Harry said stirring the potion.
"Who said I'd choose Hermione?!" Ron asked offended.
"Who said you would give up the opportunity of getting the girl you truly love?" Harry said and went to get more ingredients, and left Ron to think about what he'd just said.

I know that chapter started off rather bad but I hope you all enjoyed its ending! Well be sure to stay tuned to see what happens next! (Don't get to excited, might not be to good). Please R&R!
