"So, we're meeting in the great hall tonight then?" Hermione asked
Harry as the two walked down the corridor.
"Yes, 6:00 tonight." He replied, looking down at her.
"I can't wait." Hermione finished, leaning up to kiss him. Her lips brushed his softly before they separated in their own directions. The two were going to spend the evening together, being as Ron was busy that night. Hermione walked back to the dorm room, while Harry made his way down to the pitch for practice. Harry mounted his broom and flew around the pitch for a while, until Angelina and the rest of the team walked out on the pitch. "Where's Hermione?" Ron asked, catching up to Harry. "She had an essay due for Muggle Studies. I'm going to meet her at 6:00 in the Great Hall." Angelina walked out onto the pitch and screamed up at them, "NO TIME FOR IDOL CHATTER BOYS! HAUL ASS AND GET DOWN HERE!!!" The two boys flew down while Angelina made her usual pre-practice speech. Not soon after, they were all up and flying around. Overall, practice went well. Ron saved most of the Quaffles that came his way, and as soon as Angelina let the snitch go, Harry caught it. At 5:30, Angelina set them free and Harry ran up to shower before his date with Hermione. He changed and was on his way down when he heard a familiar voice calling him. "Harry! Harry!" It was Cho. Harry turned around. "Harry, will you help me with something? It's about Quidditch. I need the Seeker's point of view of what it's like on the field." Harry looked at his watch. He had ten minutes. "Ya, sure, but it has to be fast." "Of course." She replied nodding. The two stopped in the hallway and sat down.
Hermione was down in the Great Hall, waiting for Harry. Where was he? He was always five minutes early for their dates. She sat down on the stairs and waited. 10 minutes passed. No Harry. 15 minutes passed. No Harry. After a half hour, Hermione got fed up and went back up to the common room. If he had been injured, she would have known. Ron would have come to find her. What the hell was he doing?
Harry was still sitting in the hall with Cho. Time had slipped away with him. He was getting into another topic with Cho when Ron came around the corner. "Uh... Harry?" Ron asked. "Yea mate?" "Aren't you supposed to be out with... uh...Hermione right now?" Harry checked his watch and saw he was 40 minutes late. "SHIT!" He yelled out loud as he got up. Harry raced up the stairs to the common room. What the hell was he thinking? How could he let the time slip past him like that? He finally reached the room, said the password and walked in. There was Hermione, sitting on the couch, her hands in her lap. "Nice to see you sweetheart. Good to see you. I missed you when you didn't show up FOR THE DATE YOU PLANNED!!!" She finished with a yell. "Hermione, I'm sorry..." "I should certainly hope so." She said, cutting in. "I was helping Cho..." "Imagine m surprise." She cut in again, coolly. "What is that supposed to mean?" "Never mind, its fine." "Well, do you want to go now then?" He asked. "Sorry, I don't feel like going out tonight. Why don't you go find Cho and help finish what was obviously more important than meeting me?" "Not everything's about you Hermione." He replied angrily. "I didn't say it was, Harry", she said with contempt, "But it would be nice of you to take the time to tell me you can't make it for a date because you are helping your ex-girlfriend with something." She said as she stormed up the stairs. "Hermione!" he called after her, but she didn't listen. Harry flopped down on the couch. She was right, as usual. He shouldn't have done that for Cho. He could have done it later. But he had dumped her; he wanted to make sure they stayed friends. Was that worth blowouts like this with Hermione though?
Saturday morning rolled around and Hermione was no where to be seen. Harry walked down to the hall, still in the jeans and t-shirt he was in last night. She wasn't there either. He took a seat beside Ron. "Have you seen her?" Harry asked, grabbing a piece of toast. "Yes." Ron answered, still half asleep. "Well, where'd she go?" He asked, more attentively. "Where she goes when she's pissed at you, but knows you'll find her." Ron finished before taking a chug of pumpkin juice. Harry clapped him on the shoulder and ran out the big doors. He made his way over to a specific willow tree, and sure enough, there she was. "Hi." He said quietly, sitting down in front of her. "Hi." She replied, even more quiet. "I'm sorry about last night. I am a rat bastard, and I should be shot." Harry said. "I wouldn't go that far," Hermione said. "You're too cute to kill off." Harry grinned and took her hand. "Never again?" He asked, looking into her eyes. "Never again." She agreed. Harry leant over and kissed her. She kissed him back, and soon the two were lying together looking at the clouds. The two were together peacefully for a while, and then, he showed up. "Awww. Look at the cute couple. Makes me sick." Draco said, looking down at the two of them. "Bugger off Draco." Harry said. "Oooo. I'm scared Potter. What are you going to do? Get your girlfriend to jinx me. You're incapable of doing it yourself." "Yes and if I have to, I will Malfoy, so as he said, bugger off." "Again, I am quivering with fright." "So many girls think you're good looking Draco. Personally, I think you look better as a ferret bouncing down the hall." Hermione said, a grin coming up inside of her. Draco shot the two of them a dirty glance and walked off. The two went to find Ron, and the three spent the rest of the weekend together.
"Yes, 6:00 tonight." He replied, looking down at her.
