Chapter 2 Believe Me
Harry paced.
He has no idea what to think. He felt like he had just ate a bolgart-flavored EveryFlavor bean. He was scared, disgusted, and confused.
(F)~
"Harry---"
"I don't want to hear it."
"No, you don't---"
"I SAID, I DON'T WANT TO HEAR IT, HERMIONE!"
A soft gasp escaped her... then stunned silence followed.
"Harry... if you'll just---"
"No. Go away. GO AWAY."
~(/F)
(L) "Baby," I said,
"please stay.
Give our love a chance for one more day"
we could have worked things out
taking time is what love's all about (/L)
(F)~
She softly whispered. "Do you mean that?" She was so quiet he couldn't tell how she was feeling.
"Yes. Go away. Get out of here. I don't want to talk to you."
"Alright." She breathed. "I will. But don't expect me to come back."
Something about her words tugged at his heart. He wants to say something... but he doesn't know how to start. He turned around... only to see the corner of her robes disappear around the stairway up to the girls' dormitories. Her familiar steps faded off.
~(/F)
(L) But you put a dart
through my dreams
through my heart
and I'm back where I started again
never thought it would end (L)
(F)~
He ran out of the common room, rushed through the halls, and walked out of the Hogwarts castle. He looked around... then sat down and breathed heavily. He wanted to do something... to occupy his mind.
"Accio Firebolt!" He yelled hoarsely.
As the broom flew into his hand, his heart jerked in pain as he remembered who had helped him master the Summoning Charm. He shook his head. No, no.
[Stop thinking about her. She... she isn't who you think she is.] He thought angrily.
He flew to the Qudditch fields. He did loops. He speeded aimlessly up and down, forcing himself to think about the fresh chilliness of the morning.
He jetted straight up to the skies, back down, left, right, figure eights, dips, and every possible turn he knew. He closed his eyes and trusted himself to know the fields well enough to not crash. As soon as he closed his eyes, those words flooded back to him.
But don't expect me to come back.
Don't expect me to come back.
To come back.
Come back. Come back.
They echoed loudly in him.
He opened his eyes and yelled out in frustration.
A pretty voice suddenly came from behind him.
"What's wrong? You were flying so well!"
Harry yelped in surprise as he realized that Cho had flew up behind him.
She giggled. "I heard you broke up with your GIRLFRIEND."
Before Harry could respond, she flew up close to him.
"You know I always liked you."
"You do?" was all Harry could get out.
The two did not that their brooms are hovering closer to the ground... and that... Hermione came walked up to the field and quickly hid behind a bench the moment she saw them.
"Of course... you're nice-" she winked and he frowned"- you're Quidditch captain, you're cute, and-" she giggled again "you seem to like me!"
Harry's jaw dropped open and promptly closed again. [What!?]
Hermione, seeing this, angrily thought, [He's more than that, you little... he's not just 'nice', he's kind to everyone, he lends Neville a pencil practically every day, knowing perfectly well that absent minded boy will promptly lose it. He's humurous and always makes everyone laugh. He brings everyone up from the worst of moods. He's Quidditch captain because he worked hard at it. He's cute alright... but his personality is much, much more. You sum him up as 'nice, quidditch captain, and cute'?]
Cho leaned forward and brushed her lips on his ear as she asked flirtaciously, "Well, don't you?"
Harry was about to pull back, but Cho, apparently being an airhead, did not realize his resentment at her overly confident attitude. She slid her hands around his face and giggled again. "I knew you did!" she said in her loud and excited voice.
Hermione gasped audibly, but not loud enough for Harry or Cho to hear. [Harry likes... her? I thought she was an infatuation he got over in the fifth year... Harry...]
(L) From the bottom of my broken heart
there's just a thing or two I'd like you to know
you were my first love,
you were my true love
from the first kisses to the very last rose
from the bottom of my broken heart
even through time may find me somebody new
you were my real love
I never knew love
'til there was you
from the bottom of my broken heart (/L)
Suddenly, catching both Harry and Hermione by surprise, Cho threw her arms around Harry and pressed her lips against his cheek. He falls off his broom onto the ground, with her on top of him. Over Cho's shoulder, Harry finally noticed Hermione, who broke down and ran away from the field.
Pushing Cho off, he got up and ran after Hermione.
Cho slid on the ground and immediately started wailing, until she realized that there was no one in sight to hear her.
~(/F)
[Is it possible that she really didn't do anything wrong? Should I have listened to her when she tried to explain? That expression... when she ran off...]
Harry started paced again, but realized he had nowhere to go. Everyone had now returned from breakfast and is crowding around the portrait hole.
"What's happening?"
"Hey, why can't we go in?"
"Let me through!"
Yes, Harry had been standing outside the portrait for the last ten minutes...
... for Hermione had conjured up a Locking Charm too strong for any student to break open.
Inside, Hermione stared into the fire... memories continued to haunt her as she sat as she had for the last ten minutes...
(L) You promised yourself
but to somebody else
and you made it so perfectly clear
still I wish you were here (/L)
*
AN: So Hermione is broken up. But what did she do? What is the explanation that Harry refused to hear? Sorry if this chapter seems kind of dull. Don't fall asleep on me... please review and tell me! I have half of the next chapter ready and I'm thinking it'll probably be the last.
