I stood there and tried to pull myself together. Finally I left but I was
still very upset. But I had to put my issues aside so I could comfort
Harry. I left to the willow tree outside after I cleaned myself up so it
didn't look like I cried.
When I got to the willow tree Harry was already there. He was leaning on it casually waiting.
"Hermione you're here finally."
"Sorry Harry I was held up by Malfoy, Head duties."
"It's okay I'm just glad you're here."
"Is this about your breakup with Cho?"
"No but how did you know?"
"Lavender, she always knows the latest gossip I'd say she was psychic. How does she keep track and she finds out so fast it's amazing."
"So you two hang out now?"
"Yeah we've gotten really close since you've been busy with Cho and Ginny is always busy with Prefect duties."
"Well don't worry we'll get to hang out more now that Cho's out of the picture."
"Are you all right?"
"Yeah it's a healing process. I really thought we were hitting it off."
"Yeah me too I mean you were always with her."
"Yeah sorry about that but that's one of the upsides to not being with Cho anymore."
"Do you want to talk about it?"
"No not really maybe some other time let's just say she was holding me back."
"But didn't she break up with you?"
"No I broke up with her. Where did you get that idea?"
"Lavender said that she broke up with you."
"Oh well if that's what Cho wants people to think than fine."
"You don't care?"
"No not really if that's what helps her self-esteem then so be it after all I did break up with her so I guess she's having a harder time than I am."
"So if you didn't want to talk about it why did you ask me to come?"
"I thought maybe you and me could go to Hogsmeade."
"Sure."
When we got to Hogsmeade we wen to The Three Broomsticks, Honey dukes, and we went to clothes stores and tried on silly clothes and shoes and jewelry. We had fun like in the good old days. It was a relief to have Harry back with me. Especially now. We bought some new robes and books and other school things. After hours of shopping and having fun we decided to go to Zonko's before we had to go. We were talking about school and old times.
"So Hermione remember the time Ron and I put that fake snake in your bed?"
"Yeah Harry and it actually wasn't that funny."
"You have to admit it was pretty cool though."
"Well it was very well conjured up it looked so real. How did you too figure out how to make it?"
"Well we went to the library and spend days learning how to do the spell properly."
"See if you guys only spent as much time on your homework as on your pranks you could be top A students like me."
"Hermione you mean if I spent as much time."
"Yeah I forgot Ron doesn't go to school anymore."
"Don't worry we'll be fine without him. Are okay I mean since the whole incident happened?"
"Yeah I'm fine I'm just really scared Harry what if he comes back? I'm just really glad you're here with me," I said hugging him and dropping all my bags on the ground.
"Don't worry I'll always be here for you, always.
We were hugging in the middle of the road all caught up in the moment when I heard someone speak.
"Oh look I see you've moved on quickly Harry. I know it must have been heart breaking for you when I broke up with you but you seem to be on your feet up and about already."
"Listen Chang you have no right to talk to Harry like that and for the record he broke up with you and you know it so stop going around and saying that you broke up with the famous Harry Potter because it's a lie."
"Granger look who's to talk acting all innocent, this is all your fault and your fault only."
"What are you talking about?"
"Oh you didn't tell her Harry?"
"Cho leave Hermione out of this."
"No I don't think I will, the bitch is going to get what's coming to her, after all like I said she deserves it."
"Harry what's she talking about?"
"Hermione-
"No why don't I tell her?"
Before waiting for a response she turned her undivided attention to me.
"Well you see me and Harry-
"It's Harry and I, but you should've known that being a Ravenclaw but continue."
"Whatever geek. Anyway Harry and I(she said Harry and I very clear) were a happy couple but I noticed that we weren't spending enough quality time together so I asked him to spend more time with me but he said that with Quiditch and DA he had barely any time to spend with his friends. I said that he spent time with Ron on the pitch but he said he never saw you, so I brought up our little fight from the 5h year and we got into another fight- because of you- but that's not why we broke up. You see we made up but I still barely saw Harry so I told him he had to drop something, either DA, Quiditch or you. And of course he couldn't stop DA being the teacher or Quiditch because that's too important and he's the Captain which led to you. He didn't need you, you only got in the way, being a jealous friend wanting Harry and being jealous of me of course for being his girlfriend. I told him he had to stop hanging around you because it caused problems for us but he said no and we got into a fight over it. We tried to get back together but there was still that problem-you, and said that I was a bad girlfriend for telling him to stop being friends with you because I was jealous of you relationship you two had. And I said that he should go to you who's probably a better girlfriend and he agreed and broke up with me."
"What? Harry you never told me you broke up with Harry over me, I feel so bad this is all my fault."
"No don't blame yourself this isn't your fault and I did tell you, remember I told you we broke up because she was holding me back." "Holding you back from what?"
"You."
"Oh."
Cho left with her gang. They were all staring daggers at us with there eyes.
I was so confused did Harry like me? I looked up at Harry and waited fro an answer.
"Yes I do. I never said anything because Ron kept telling me how much he liked you and I didn't wan to take that away from him. I was famous, richer, a better Quiditch player and well I didn't wan to take one thing he might have going for him away. I noticed what a great person you were in the fifth grade when Cho brought it up."
"What do you mean?"
(Ps this is a spoiler for you readers if you haven't already read the fifth Harry Potter book)
"Remember Valentines day when you asked me to meet you at The Three Broomsticks for and interview with Skeeter?"
"Yeah."
"Well I was supposed to spend that day with Cho but since I had to meet with you she got angry and said how I was always hanging out with you and never her and that she though that I liked you."
"Oh."
"Well that's when I started thinking about it and the more I thought about the less ridiculous it sounded."
"Oh Harry I don't know hat to say."
"Will you go on a date with me?"
"Sure."
"How about tomorrow?"
"Sounds great."
We both headed back to the carriages since we didn't have any time to go to Zonko's. I finally had my life back on track, I was dating Harry and I didn't have the Draco Problem anymore and I wasn't worried about Ron, for now. We were in the carriage waiting for it to start when I saw Draco and Marguerite(Slytherin girl) our carriage. "Hello may we sit here Granger?"
"No you can't, why don't you and your sluty girlfriend find another carriage to screw in."
"Pothead was I talking to you? No I didn't think so but I'm not surprised it must be hard for you to hear with that thick head or is your scar interfering with your hearing?"
"Shut up ferret boy."
"Hermione tell that slimy git to go away."
"Granger again may I sit here?"
"Harry I don't see the big deal, we'll just ignore them."
"Bt Hermione."
"Harry there's obviously no more empty carriages if Malfoy had to resort to coming to sit with us, so let's just let him in so we can leave sooner."
"Fine but I say he's just here to annoy us."
"You heard the lady move Potter."
Draco and Marguerite got in. Harry was sitting across from me and beside Marguerite and Draco was sitting beside me and across from Marguerite much to Harry's dislike. We were sitting quietly trying not to make any conversation. It was hard for me to talk to Harry because he was sitting beside Marguerite who was blocking my view of him so I didn't talk to him. Draco wasn't snogging her because of their positions, which I was thankful for. I knew I still had feelings for him that's why I let him in but I knew I had to get rid of them. I was moving on and he apparently was too so I had to get over myself. But I couldn't stand him sitting next to me. It was hard enough not being with him but having him sit beside me made it that much harder. I of course assumed he might wan to sit beside his 'girlfriend' nut no he wanted to sit beside me.
We were almost there when he whispered something in my ear.
