Chapter Sixteen
Ron hasn't seen Harry in about two weeks, actually he hasn't seen much of Hermione either, excepct her sadly walking through the hall and out the door to get to class.
"Luna?"
"What Ronald?"
"I'm going to see what's up with Hermione. Oh and have you seen Harry lately?"
"No, I haven't seen him in about two weeks."
"That's what I thought, and he hasn't moved out, because I just got his rent check."
"That's odd, did he go on vacation?"
"I think he would have told us."
"I concur, and Hermione wouldn't look so solemn."
"I gonna go see what's going on."
"Have a good time."
"Yeah."
~Ring~Ring~Ring~"I'm coming!" She opens the door, "Hello Ron."
"Hermione! Haven't seen you much lately, how is it going?"
"Fine."
"You know, I've known you for 14 years, You think I would know if there was something you weren't truthful about."
"When did Ron become so perceptive, hmm?"
"I don't know, living with Luna, being a Dad. Qiana misses you and Harry."
She started to cry. "What's wrong, Hermione? What's up with you and Harry?"
"He left, and I still don't know what happened, damn firewhiskey."
"Firewhiskey and Harry leaving? Do you know where he went?"
"NO, I don't," she cried.
"Are you all right, Hermione?"
"Yeah," she got out sarcastically through the tears.
"What happened?"
"Fred and George took us out, we got drunk, they brought us back here, and the two of us had some firewhiskey, then we woke up and Harry dashed away."
"Woke up? Where?"
"My room."
"And that's odd, why were you both in your room?"
"I don't know I don't remember, but we were both in the buff."
"Are you telling me!"
"I don't know!"
"Why is this ripping you apart?"
"Because."
"Because, why?"
"I love him," she whispered, "I don't want to never speak to him again and I have no idea what happened."
"Why don't you tell him?"
"I don't know where he is, and I'm scared!"
"You should never be scared of someone like Harry, who you've known and loved for so long, why should you fear him? He would never hurt you."
"How do you know?"
"Cause if you ask me, I think he's in love with you too."
"He would have said something!"
"It's Harry, he may not know what he's feeling, maybe this has opened his eyes, he's shy about these things, he's scared to hurt you or be rejected. He never had love as a child, he's probably confused, everybody, but you and him see the way you look at eachother, you carry your love on your sleeves, it's obvious to everyone but you and him."
She just stares at him with an gaping mouth.
"See you later, Hermione."
*About a month later~ July 31st. *
"But Ginny, Luna, I don't want to go!"
"He's your best friend!"
"Why don't you want to go?"
"What Ron didn't tell you? Or Tonks?"
"Didn't tell us nothing."
"I can't tell this story again."
"Did something happen between the two of you?"
"Yeah."
"What?"
"I don't exactly know."
"That's what's the deal?"
"I'm scared."
"Oh well, you are going anyway, Ms. Granger, whether you like it or not!" Luna commanded.
"Noooo."
"Yes, Hermione!" Ginny replied.
And she grabbed her hand and the three portkeyed away.
~~~
"Damn you!" Hermione exclaimed as they landed at there destination, the entrance of some restuarant.
"Oh well your here now!"
"I hate you!"
"Thank you!"
"AGH!"
Luna and Ginny dragged her in and tried to get her to sit somewhat close to Harry, but it didn't work and she went to the opposite end of the table.
Harry seemed as unhappy as Hermione and it's his birthday! His twenty- forth birthday and he's in love with someone who won't even talk to him, how's that for luck, well he hasn't tried to talk to her either, so that probably explains most of it.
After dinner and most everybody was dancing or enjoying eachothers company, Hermione went to the bar and ordered a pint of Firewhiskey. Harry was at the other end ordering himself five Firewhiskey Manhattens (My Dad likes to drink those when he goes out, says there really potent)
"Can, I buy whatever she ordered a well?"
"Whatever you want, Sir."
"Alright then, how much?"
"Twenty Galleons." And Harry pulled out as much.
Few minutes later, "How much do I owe you?" Hermione asked the bartender.
"It was already taken care of."
"By whom?"
"That gentlemen over there," he pointed to Harry.
She marched over to him, "Harry?"
"Hmm?"
"Why did you pay for my drink?"
"Felt like it."
"You shouldn't have!"
"Oh, well, too late now."
"Urgh!" and she stormed away.
"What's gotten into her?" Dean asked Seamus.
"Oh, I think theres something going on."
"So do I," added Ginny.
"What do you think happened with them?" asked Dean.
"I don't know, but it's very odd to see them not all lovey dovey," added Lavender.
"Your telling me, Harry been crashing at his manor," Neville added.
"Why?" asked Ginny.
"I can't tell you, but they got into a bit of a row," Neville lied.
"Must have big one heck of a fight, anyone hexed?" asked George.
"Not that I know of."
"Anything thrown?" asked Fred.
"I doubt it."
"Oy Harry! Happy Birthday!"
"Thanks Oliver," He replied glumly.
"What's the matter?"
"Nothing."
"Doesn't seem to be nothing."
"Just lay off!"
"Alright, I heard a rumor you were going to play pro Quidditich, is it true?"
"I doubt it."
"If you are and need a good reference, you can have them give me an owl."
"Thanks Oliver."
"No problem, you are the best Seeker I have ever seen, especially your last years, amazing."
"Quit flattering me, it's not going to get you anywhere."
"Too bad. See you, Harry."
"Alright Oliver."
"Ron, I'm going to go home now."
"Why Hermione, the party's barely got going!"
"I'm going home."
"Alright see you."
About twenty minutes later, "Ron, I'm tired, I'm going back to the manor."
"But Harry, it's your party!"
"I'm tired, and I have to work tomorrow."
"Fine, and don't be a stranger come see us sometime."
"I'll... I'll try."
