Chapter 7- No Way To Med A Broken Heart
Harrie entered the common room to find Hermione standing by an armchair, looking at Ron, his face red with anger and pain. Hermione just looked at Harrie with sad eyes, turned on her heel and solemnly walked to the chairs and up to the girls' dorms.
Harrie watched her go up the stairs and then took a seat on the couch next to Ron. The two of them were in the same boat, a boat they didn't want to be in. The boat of betrayal. After sitting for 5 minutes, Harrie stood up and started to walk towards the stairs when Ron broke the silence,
"How could she do this to me?" Harrie turned around with a concerned look in her eyes. She walked back over to the couch and took a seat.
"Why Harrie??" said Ron, his hands hidden in his hands.
"Ron there has to be some expiation. I mean, come on, why would Hermione choose my now ex-boyfriend over you. I mean, she told me the other day that even though she was Juliet and he was Romeo, nothing would ever change how much she cares about you. Ron, she loves you and nothing can change that," said Harrie placing her right hand on Ron's back.
"But Harrie, if she loves me so much then how come she was making out with Malfoy?"
" I don't know why. But all I do know is this, Hermione loves you and I think you should talk to her and straighten this whole thing out."
"Ha, shouldn't you be telling yourself that?" said Ron, a weak smile coming to his face.
"Yeah, I guess you're right," said Harrie as a smile found its way on to her face, "well, why don't you go talk to her? The only ones in the girls' 7th year dorms are Hermione, Lavender, Patil, and me and Lavender and Patil knows that you and Hermione are in a huge fight so nothing is going to happen with you two."
"How would Patil and Lavender know? This happened 15 minutes ago?" asked Ron.
"Ron, Ron, Ron, don't you remember that I'm psychic? I know that Hermione told Patil and lavender the whole thing."
"But Harr, if you're psychic, then how could you not see this coming?"
"Just go talk to your girlfriend," said Harrie as she pulled Ron out of his seat and dragged him up to the girls' dorm.
As Harrie opened the door to the girls' dorm, Patil and Lavender looked up from their homework to see Harrie and Ron, standing in the doorway. Harrie nudged her head to the right and Patil and Lavender nodded back at her. They reached for the curtains around their beds and pulled them shut.
Harrie walked over to Hermione who was lying on her bed, her face buried in to her pillow. Harrie sat down on Hermione's bed and started to rub her back with her left hand. Hermione looked up from her pillow, her eyes were red from sobbing, and her pillow was drenched with her tears. Hermione sat up and leaned her head on to Harrie's shoulder.
Though tears Hermione said,
"Harrie, I didn't mean to! I didn't want to! I told him no but he just didn't listen!!"
"Shh, its ok," said Harrie, patting Hermione's hair.
"No its not!! I ruined your relationship with Draco and now Ron's mad at me! I just wish I could tell Ron that I didn't kiss Malfoy that he kissed me. I would never kiss another guy while I was with Ron. In fact, before tonight, Ron was the only guy I ever kissed. And I wanted to keep it that way!"
"Then why don't you tell him that yourself. Come here Ron," called Harrie. Hermione looked up to see Ron walking towards her bed. Harrie got up and let Ron take her seat.
"Well, talk this out. You both know you love each other so I don't see how you could try and hate each other over this." With this, Harrie turned on her heel and walked out of the dorm and down the stairs to the common room.
"Ron I never wanted to kiss him. He just was saying that we should practice for English and I told him if he wanted to practice then to practice with Harrie but before I could finish telling him that he just kissed me," said Hermione wiping her eyes.
"Its ok. I just I over reacted. I just didn't want to lose you Hermione."
"Are you still mad at me?"
"No. I'm mad at Malfoy," said Ron as a smile formed on his face.
"That's a nice thing to know." Hermione also smiled. Ron lifted her chin and leaned in and kissed her. And Hermione kissed back. When they broke apart, Ron asked,
"Just tell me one thing. How was it kissing that worm-shit?"
"Grosser then you could believe." Ron gave her one last kiss before leaving the girls' dorm and heading off to the boys' dorm.
Mean while down in the common room.
Harry was sitting on the couch when Harrie came down the stairs.
"How are Ron and Hermione?" asked Harry as his twin took a seat on the couch next to him.
"They're fine."
"How would you know?"
"I'm psychic."
"What's bothering you?"
"Nothing."
"Harrie, I know something's wrong. Now what is it?"
"Its just that, Ron forgave Hermione because she didn't kiss Malfoy. He kissed her."
"OK, now I know that something is wrong."
"Why do you say that?"
"Because you called your boyfriend Malfoy instead of Draco."
"FYI, he's my ex-boyfriend."
"Sorry. Continue."
"OK. Anyway, Hermione didn't kiss him, he kissed her so Ron was able to forgive Hermione."
"Yeah, so?"
"Well, how am I supposed to forgive Malfoy? He kissed Hermione. Hermione said she tried to tell him no but he kissed her anyway."
"Try talking to him again. See what he says. And don't threaten to kill him with your wand. Everyone in school knows you're the best dueler at Hogwarts so you don't need to kill Malfoy to prove it."
"I wasn't going to kill him. I was just going to send him to the hospital wing in serious condition."
"Harrie, just talk to him tomorrow after the qudditch game."
"Who are we playing?"
"Slytherin."
"Narg!!!!!!!!!"
"I thought you might say that."
"I'm going to bed. I can't take it anymore. Night."
"Night, Harr," said Harry as Harrie took the stairs up to the girls' dorms. Then Harry took the stairs to the boys' dorms.
As Harrie entered the girls' dorm, Hermione ran right up to her and gave her a huge hug.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! Harrie if it wasn't for you, Ron would even be speaking to me!" said Hermione as she let go of her best friend.
"Yea, no problem. I'm glad to see you two are back together," said Harrie weakly.
"What's wrong?" asked Hermione.
"Nothing, I'm just tried," said Harrie as she went to her trunk and got out her pajamas.
"OK, if you're sure."
"I'm sure." Harrie changed and then climbed into bed, "Night Patil, night Lavender, night Hermione."
"Night Harrie," said Hermione and Patil, and Lavender in unison, as they climbed into their beds and shut their curtains around them.
As Harry entered the boys' dorms he found Neville finishing his homework on his bed, Seamus and Dean were in the middle of a game of wizard chess on the floor and Ron was sitting on his bed looking through a photo album.
"Hey Harry," said Dean, looking up from the game.
"What's up?" asked Seamus, looking up from the game just as Dean's queen's side's knight took one of his rooks.
"The sky," answered Harry as he sat on his bed.
"Very funny Harry," said Neville.
"Harry, your sister is genius!! An absolute genius!!!" cried Ron.
"What did Harrieta do this time?" asked Seamus.
"She got me and Hermione back together," answered Ron.
"Why would she have to get you two back together? You two are inseparable!!" said Dean. Ron told them the whole story and how Harrie had convinced Ron to talk to Hermione and how everything worked out.
"And after all that you're talking to Hermione?" said Neville.
"I'm going with her again."
"Wow. If Harrieta could do that then she is a genius," said Seamus. All the guys climbed into their beds and that was all the talking heard until the next mourning.
The next mourning at breakfast, while everyone else was stuffing their faces, Harrie and Draco were the only ones who didn't eat much.
"Come on Harrie, you've got to eat something besides a biscuit and a sticky bun," said Hermione.
"I'm not hungry," responded Harrie.
"You can't play qudditch well on an empty stomach," said Ron.
Over at the Slytherin table, Crabbe and Goyle were having the same problem, trying to get Draco to eat something besides a piece of toast.
"Will you eat something damnit," said Crabbe.
"What part of I'm not hungry do you not get?" said Draco.
"Ok, but if you don't fly well at the game today, don't blame us," said Goyle as he; Crabbe and Draco left the Great Hall with everyone else to go to the quidditch game.
Harrie, Ron, Hermione, and Harry walked to the locker room in silence. Once they got to the locker room and were changed, they headed to the doors to the arena. On the way Harrie pulled Harry to the side.
"What?" asked Harry.
"Let me play seeker today," said Harrie.
"What? It's my game to play. You were seeker last game."
"I know that but if you let me play seeker today then you can play it for the next 2 games. Please Harry, I'm begging you."
"Fine, but you owe me."
"Thank you, thank you, thank you!!" said Harrie as she ran off to meet the rest of the team.
"Why do I have a feeling that I'm going to regret this??" Harry asked himself as he followed his sister. When the doors opened, the Gryffindor team mounted their brooms and flew into the arena. They hovered over the middle of the pitch facing the Slytherin team.
"Hello and welcome to the first quidditch game of the season," announced Cho Chang, who was now the Quidditch announcer for Slytherin vs. Gryffindor games.
"As everyone knows, since last year when Harrieta Potter came to Hogwarts and joined the Gryffindor team, she and her twin brother Harry Potter have had to switch off games so they both have a chance to play seeker. So let's see who the seeker will be today. It's gotta be... Harrieta! Oh shit. And it looks like Harry Potter will be playing Beater, which is the other position he shares with Harrieta. But any way it looks like everyone is ready to start the game."
Harrie hovered over the pitch on the North side and Draco hovered on the South side. When Hooch released the snitch, and the blugers, Draco's eyes met Harrie's and a look of murder was in her eyes. When Hooch threw up the quaffle, the chasers zoomed for it, nearly killing each other.
"And the game has begun. Gryffindor is in possession of the quaffle. Ginny Weasley passes to the new chaser Hermione Granger who passes it to Dean Thomas who takes it to the Slytherin posts and... SCORES! 10 points to Gryffindor!!" The North side of the pitch exploded into screams.
"Harry Potter knocks a bluger away for the Gryffindor keeper and best friend Ron Weasley. Fellow beater Seamus Finnigan knocks the bluger toward the Slytherin side with an extreme amount of force and... It goes in!! And Gryffindor leads 20 to nothing. The quaffle is rebounded back in, and Slytherin takes position," continued Cho as Harrie continued to look for the snitch.
Finally she saw it by the east side stands. She zoomed off. Draco saw her and followed her. He caught up to her as she dived down towards the ground after the golden ball. She pulled up and was about 3 inches off the ground. About 4 seconds later, Draco pulled up to her side.
"HARRIE! WE NEED TO TALK!" yelled Draco against the wind.
"IF YOU VALUE YOUR LIFE, I SUGGUEST YOU BUZZ OFF!" yelled Harrie as knocked Malfoy hard in the side almost knocking him off his broom.
"Aye, Potter's pissed off now!" said Cho.
"WHICH ONE??" yelled the crowd.
"HARRIETA!"
Harrie zoomed ahead, leaving Malfoy in pain. Just near the Slytherin stands, Harrie reached out her hand and
"SHE'S GOT IT!! THAT'S IT! IT'S OVER! GRYFFINDOR WINS 170 to 0!!!!" yelled Chang as Harrie landed by the Slytherins who were booing their heads off. Harrie placed the snitch on the ground and under her breath sent her stuff to the tower so Harrie walked out the arena in her uniform and her broom.
About half way to the castle, she heard footsteps coming up behind her. Someone placed their hand on her shoulder and turned her around. She turned only to see Draco in front of her. She crossed her arms across her crest and said in a pissed- as- hell- leave- now- if – you- value- your- life voice,
"What do you want?"
"I want to talk to you."
"About what?"
"About us."
"There is no us anymore. It's you and me. Two separate things."
"What did I do wrong Harrie?? Please tell me."
"First of all, you kissed one of my best friends without her permission. Second you ruined her relationship with her boyfriend and you ruined our relationship. Third, I had to play matchmaker to put my friends back together and forth, o this is my favorite, you are stupid enough to ask me what you did wrong. That's a lot of nerve Malfoy," said Harrie. She turned on her heel and started to walk towards the castle when Draco turned her around by the shoulder again.
"Harrie-"
"Listen, we had our chance so if you want me back, you better try hard, cause it's gotta be hard. Malfoy, I can't trust you anymore. And now I probably never will. And if you want it back you better do something pretty amazing." Said Harrie as she turned around and walked towards the castle leaving Draco alone with his guilt and loneliness.
As she neared the castle Harrie thought to herself,
"It's true. There is no way to mend a broken heart."
