Ok, the only reason I let 3 months go by was because I'm basing Ron/Hermione/Harry triangle on my love life. LOL yeah right, I'm happy with my person, I fell in love when I was 17 so that's why Hermione and Harry fall in love when they are 17 years of age. I'm corny, so sue me. LOL. This love story is based on the little people who live in my head and tell me what to write. Well I'm tired I don't even know what I am saying. I worked an 8-hour shift and I only had three hours of sleep. This chapter is fresh in my head so I wanted to type it before I forgot it. Ok yeah here it goes.

Chapter 6

One Week

What's worse then a break up is when you hook up with someone else right away. Hermione wanted to tell Harry right away that she wasn't over him but she wanted to wait sometime. Why? Well rumors, no one likes them. People love gossip but when it's about yourself, you want it to die out and hope everyone has forgotten about it. Hermione had a plan, she would wait one week before telling Harry about her feelings. One week? I can do it. She closed her eyes and fell asleep, forgetting that she just broke up with Ron, and hoped to wake up soon being Harry Potter's girlfriend.


Day One…
The next morning when she woke up, she told herself today would be the day she began her plan to get the guy meant for her. She dressed in her school robes and made sure she looked presentable. She grabbed her school bag and went down quickly to the common room; hopefully Harry hadn't left for breakfast yet. She was in luck; Harry was coming down the boy's dormitories. He smiled at her and she stared at him grinning.
"Good morning. Sleep well?"

"Yeah, why do you ask?" Hermione's smile faded away.

"Ron told me what happened. I'm sorry, wished it could have worked out between you two." Harry is such a lair, but it's funny how guys hide their feelings towards girls.

"Don't worry about me, I'll be fine. Its not a big deal."

"Alright. I'll drop it. Want to join me for breakfast, Miss Granger?" Flashing one of his sexy smiles at her.

"Don't mind if I do." They went to the Great Hall together chatting about how school was going and graduating Hogwarts. Ron had joined them and started talking about Quidditch and how they were going to beat all the other houses, Ron was full of confidence in his team, and after all he was captain.

"I should get going." Harry finished drinking his pumpkin juice.

"Where you off to, mate." Ron asks with interest.

"Yeah where are you going Harry?" Hermione added.

"Hey I'm off to go look for Colin Creevey. I forgot I needed to have a chat with him."

"About what?"

"Ron enough with questions, save that for the teachers." He said his goodbyes to his friends and left in search for Colin.

Day two…

Harry was up to something, Hermione told herself. I don't know what but I am going to try and find out. Little did she know he was trying to help Ginny with her love life. Harry had found out Colin liked Ginny but Colin was so sure she would reject him. Harry tried his best to encourage him to take chances and not be afraid of girls.

"Take risk Colin, you will be happy that you asked her out."

"Harry what if I make a fool out of myself?" Colin replied shyly. Harry put his arm around him.

"Colin we have talked about this. You think she doesn't like you but I know for a fact she does. Don't let her slip away. I let the girl of my dreams slip away and look at me, I regret each and everyday I let her go and dated my best friend Ron."

"But aren't you and Hermione still friends?"

"Yeah but its hard for me not to want to kiss her and tell her that she should be with me."

"Sucks for you. I don't want to feel like that."

"You don't have to unless you let Ginny get away."


Day Three…

Hermione had noticed Harry and Ginny were talking in secret when she entered the common room after dinner. Ginny was blushing because Harry had told her about his conversation with Colin. But to Hermione she thought he was flirting with her. He can't he would never date Ron's sister. That thought had left her mind and she forgot about it. Hermione was heading up stairs; she was going to bed early, when someone called after her.

"Hermione! Wait up." Lavender seized Hermione by her arm.

"What's the matter? Something happened?"

"Oh no. I wanted to ask you something."

"Well let's go to our room and talk. I really want to get to bed." They entered their room and Hermione began to change into her nightclothes while Lavender had a hard time trying to say what she wanted to say.

"Lavender, you know you can talk to me about anything. So what gives? You can't find the words? Or having a hard time talking?"

"Umm, you see Hermione." She sounded all-awkward. "Well you see, I was asked out by a guy."

"Really?" Hermione sounded interested in some new gossip. "Go on do tell."

"Ok, I will tell you but you promise you won't get upset with me?"

"Promise. Does it have anything to do with Harry?"

"No. With Ron."

"Ron? What about him? Did he do something to you? Because if he did I'll go and talk to him."

"Nothing bad. Really. Ron asked me out."

"Oh."

"But I didn't answer him yet." Lavender had gone all pink.

"You like him?"

"Yes, but I want to know if it's okay with you if I say 'yes'?"

"Why would you ask me for permission?" Hermione laughed.

"Well didn't you two have a serious relationship? You did date for three months."

"You call that serious? Not to worry, we ended in good terms, anyways we didn't work out so you shouldn't feel bad because he asked you out. I'm happy he found someone." Hermione smiled. "Best of luck to you two." Hermione jumped into bed.

"Great! Goodnight Hermione. See you in the morning." Lavender left the room. Ron already has a new girlfriend, so I don't think it will be bad if I started dating someone else right away too, after all its only been three days since we broke up.

Day four…

Day went by so slow for Hermione, she didn't have either of her best friends with her. Ron was off with his new girlfriend and Harry was… well where was Harry? She walked around in the halls hoping to find Harry. Passing by others and observing students, since she was Head Girl, she had to make sure students were in their best behavior and not causing problems among others. She continued into the Great Hall were students were enjoying their lunch and chatting very loudly with friends. She found Harry eating by himself so she decided to join him, since she hadn't had lunch.

"Hey Harry."

"Hermione, I have been wanting to talk to you." She took the empty seat next to him.

"Really, what for?" Harry placed his hand on hers. "I have something I have been wanting to ask you." Hermione's heart began to beat fast.

"About what?" She bites her lower lip tensely.

"Not here. Tonight around nine o'clock, meet me in the common room." He linked his hand with hers and kissed it gently. "It's very important. So please meet me."

"I will Harry, promise."

"Great, I better be going I have practice. Have to be ready for our match against Ravenclaw." He had left and she was still trying to keep the image that just happened right now. He held my hand and kissed it. His lips felt so soft against my hand.

Almost nine, I better get going. Hermione put her books in her bag and left the library. I'm off to see Harry. She sang over and over in her head, smiling as she made her way back to the Gryffindor common room. Meanwhile in the common room, Harry and Ginny were talking.

"Harry, you are the greatest guy in the school!" She shrieked happily.

"All I did was talk to Colin for you. He is the one that asked you out."

"But if it wasn't for your help, I be single still."

"Aww… don't mention it, what are friends for?"

"I'm so glad Harry Potter is my friend!" She jumped up and down again. "I so can't believe I have a boyfriend now!"

"Well maybe by tonight I might have Hermione as my girlfriend."

"Really? You plan on asking her out?"

"Why not? Ron has Lavender and I don't think he will mind. Plus I told him I still had feelings for her and he is cool about me asking Hermione out." Harry checked his watch. "Almost nine o'clock."

"Ok, I better go so you two can chat."

"Thanks, wish me luck."

"Good luck, Harry. Thanks again with the whole Colin and me thing." He laughed. And she gave him a hug and a kiss on the cheek.

"Goodnight Ginny." Then unexpected they heard books hit the ground. They turned around to see Hermione with a look of shock on her face. She must have thought something was up with himself and Ginny.

"Hermione, it's not what you think. I was only thanking him for setting me up with Colin." She stayed quiet. Harry walked towards her slowly. "Hermione, it's true." She ran past them both and up the stairs. Harry took off after her but he was too late she shut her door behind her. I'll be damned. Harry rested his head on Hermione's bedroom door. "Hermione I know you can hear me open the door we need to talk."
