That week went well. Harry and Hermione had made up, Ron was getting
better at his keeper duties, and Harry wasn't failing potions. Little did
he know, Professor Trelawney was right, this Thursday was a day he was
going to regret.
It started out normally. Harry and Ron woke up, got changed and met Hermione downstairs in the common room. But you don't need to know what happened that day. It was the same as usual, classes, lunch, classes. But that's not important. What is important is what happened that night. Harry and Ron went down to dinner first; Hermione had to go to the library for a moment. The boys took their usual seats, and they saved Hermione's. They loaded their plates and began to eat. Not soon after, Harry received a tap on the shoulder. He turned around, and there was Cho. "Can I talk to you Harry? Alone." She asked. Harry got up and followed her to the great hall. "What is it Cho?" He asked. "Harry, I need to ask you something." "Alright, what is it? Is it about the Quidditch thing? Because I answered..." And before Harry could finish, Cho threw her arms around his neck and kissed him. Just then, Hermione came down the stairs. "Harry?" She asked, shocked. Harry threw Cho off of him. "What the hell are you doing?!?" He yelled at her. But before he could talk to Hermione, she had turned around and started running down the hall, sobbing. "HERMIONE WAIT!" Harry called after her, but she kept on running. Harry chased after her. She raced up to the common room, him not that far behind. She zoomed up to the girl's dormitories. She flung herself onto her bed and started sobbing into her pillow. Downstairs, Harry was calling to her. "Hermione! HERMIONE!" He screamed, but she did not answer. He started to run up the stairs, but the same thing happened to him as it had to Ron last year. The stairs turned into a huge slide and he slid back down to the common room. He stood there, his knees bleeding from the fall, screaming up at her. "Hermione! Let me explain!" But there was still no answer. Harry heard two students come in. It was Lavender and Pavarti. They looked at Harry and walked up the stairs. About ten minutes later, they came down the stairs and gave him the filthiest look they could muster. They walked out of the room quickly, and within another ten minutes, they were back with Ginny and a first year following them. They all gave him another filthy look and walked up the stairs. Ginny walked straight over to the bed where Hermione was laying, face down in her pillow, sobbing. "Tell me what happened Hermione luv." She said, soothingly. "I...I...walked...d-d-down to the great hall and...and...he was k-k-kissing h-h-her." She said in between cries. "Who was he kissing?" She asked patting Hermione's back. "Cho!" She managed to choke out before she started to cry again. The three cursed him and began to sooth her with words, and patting her back. "He's downstairs. Do you think you may want to listen to him? It may have been a mistake." Ginny asked. Hermione sat up. "You have to prove to him you're strong. We'll be up here, waiting for you if you decide to come up again." "I need to talk to him. You're right Gin." Hermione said, wiping the tears from her face. The four other girls all gave Hermione a hug before she went down the stairs. There he was, waiting for her, Ron right beside him. He saw her come down the stairs and got up. "Hermione, let me explain..." "I saw you kissing another girl. What is there to explain." "I didn't want that kiss..."
"Don't tell me you didn't want it." "Listen Hermione, please, let me explain..." YOU TOLD ME YOU LOVED ME!" She screamed. "If you loved me then why did you kiss someone else?" "I told you, I didn't want that kiss..." "Like Hell! If you didn't still like her, then why would you ditch me for her huh? Why would you let her get close enough to kiss you? Why didn't you pull away when she reached for you?" "It happened to quickly for me to stop it Hermione!" Harry yelled back. "Bull shit Harry. You've wanted her from the start; I was just too love sick to see it." Harry could feel the anger rising in him. "I thought you were a person, a good wizard, but obviously not..." "AT LEAST IM A REAL WIZARD!" He screamed at her. Ron's mouth opened as he gaped at Harry. As soon as he said it, he had regretted it though. Hermione's eyes welled up with tears again. "Well, I know where that leaves us then." She said. "Hermione, I didn't mean that. It just came out." Harry said reaching for her. "Why did you say it if you didn't mean it?" She said, as she ran up the stairs.
Harry flopped on the couch beside Ron. "Did I just say that?" Harry asked him in disbelief. "Yea you did you bloody pratt!" Ron said. They sat in silence for a few moments when Pavarti, Lavender, Ginny and the first year student came downstairs, all with red cheeks and fire in their eyes. "First, you're forty minutes late for your date, then, you kiss another girl and then you call her a MOODBLOOD!" Ginny screamed as she came down. The four girls look like they didn't want anything more than to sac him right then and there. They gathered around him. First Ginny, then Lavender, then Pavarti took turns slapping him across the face once. The first year was to short to reach, so she lifted her foot and wailed him in the shin with her heavy boots. Harry cursed with pain as the four of them left to Hermione again. Now it was just Ron and Harry. "I suppose you want to kick me and all." Harry said. There was already a bruise forming on his left shin. "No, but you're a bloody idiot Harry."
