Discliamer: HP and Co. belong to JKR. This plot belongs to Dani.
I was asked to write shorter chapters, but that will be slightly difficult, but if you notice I'm already on Chapter 13, and we've just finished the Christmas holiday in book 5, and I have 2 more years to go, and the future.
Also, I'm only human. I think 13 chapters in 3 days is more than reasonable, don't you? J/K. I'm trying to post as fast as possible. Dani did not have a copy of book 5, so I have to take her story and copy, paste, and format it. Books 6 and 7 should be faster.
*****To keep from posting chapters that are only a paragraph long, I'm going to put large spaces in a chapter where ever I feel a cliffy should be. (Dani is really fond of cliffies.)
Here's the story:
===============================================================
'YOU WHAT?!?!' Ron bellowed.
'I let Hermione have her memory erased.' said Harry timidly. Luckily, she wasn't here to hear this.
'How could you?'
'It happened so fast and out of nowhere. She just fell.'
'How is she now? Can she remember anything?'
'She's fine but she's still clueless. I've told her about her life, well the things I know about.'
'I can't believe you would let her memory be erased like that! YOU of all people! Are you happy now Harry?'
'No, Ron, you don't understand. She was trying to tell me something when she was cut off by the spell. I had her right next to me and...'
'AND YOU LET HER SUFFER! IF IT WERE ME, I WOULD'VE BEEN THE ONE TO LOSE MY MEMORY! YOU. DON'T. CARE!' shouted Ron.
Now he did it. He went past the line.
'HOW DARE YOU ACCUSE ME OF NOT CARING FOR HERMIONE?! YOU THINK I ENJOYED SEEING HER CRY, NOT KNOWING ABOUT HERSELF? YOU THINK THE THOUGHT 'WHY COULDN'T IT HAVE BEEN ME' NEVER PASSED THROUGH MY HEAD?'
'Well it sure looks like it!'
'I CARE ABOUT HERMIONE MORE THAN YOU WILL EVER KNOW!!!' and with that, Harry left Ron, who was about to say something. He went straight up to the hospital wing. His anger rising and rising, until he saw Hermione.
She was reading a really thick book. This picture was familiar. He felt better. He remembered what he and Ron had been fighting over. Had he just said he cared about Hermione more than Ron will ever know?
'Harry, penny for your thoughts?' said Hermione in a very sweet voice. 'Where's Ron?'
'I'll go get him. Hang on.' He smiled. She returned it.
'Okay. I'll wait up here.'
Harry went back to Gryffindor common room, not knowing what to say to Ron. When he got there, he was greeted by Ron's expression. It wasn't angry. It was more like....
Here's one of those cliffies I was talking about.
Smiling. Ron was smiling!
'I'm sorry for shouting, Ron. I didn't mean to. It's just all these stress...' Harry began.
'Say no more pal. I know what's really troubling you.'
'You do? What?'
'You're in love, my friend.'
'What? Don't be ridiculous!' denied Harry.
'Oh it gets better, Harry.'
'Wait, not now. Hermione wants to meet you... again.'
'Are you sure you don't want to know who you're in love with?'
Harry laughed. 'That can wait.'
They reached the hospital wing and found Hermione trying to get into her diary. She looked up and saw the two boys.
'Harry! This must be Ron. Hi, nice to meet you. I'm Hermione.'
'Yeah, I know.' said Ron. 'How are you feeling?'
'Good so far.'
The two of them continued talking and completely ignored Harry. He felt a little left out and unwanted. So, he made a lame excuse of needing to catch up on Potions and went to Gryffindor boy's dormitory. When he got there, he realized that it was his time to try and break Hermione's password. He went back to the hospital wing and took her diary, which they didn't notice as they were so busy, catching up.
He got to the common room again and went straight to his dorm. He went to his bed and opened the diary.
He sat there for a moment thinking of what should he try. Then, the idea of talking to the dairy occupied his mind. For normal people, this would sound extremely weird and impossible. But Harry wasn't normal; he was a wizard, in a wizard's world. He tried it.
'Uh, Hermione Granger?' the book stayed still.' hmm...Crookshanks? Mom? Dad? Arithmancy?' still there was nothing.
Harry now tried every word that Hermione liked.
Then, just for fun, he said, 'Heir of Gryffindor.'
The book suddenly had writing on it. Page after page of Hermione's writing. Harry read one of the pages.
Dear Diary, I met Harry Potter today. We were on our way to Hogwarts, where I am now. He had a friend with him, Ron Weasley. He's quite the little cutie, Harry Potter. But they don't seem to like me very much. Anyway, I was sorted to Gryffindor as well. I'm looking forward to the lessons. If I don't get friends, I might as well be the best in the class....
Harry turned a few pages.
Dear diary, Ron called me a nightmare today. I've been crying since then. Why is he so mean?'
He turned one page.
Dear diary, Yesterday, Ron made peace with me and now we're friends. Harry wasn't mean to me so I'm glad I've got Ron's friendship now. Harry knew that this happened all in the first year. Halloween. When they finally became the terrible trio.
He turned a few more pages so he'll get to see if she wrote about Godric Gryffindor. He opened to one particular page.
Dear diary, Ron's being a jerk to Harry again today. I can't believe Ron's letting his jealousy control him. It wasn't Harry's fault his name was in the Goblet! UGH! Ron's bailing on Harry when he needs him most. But I'll always be here, always be here for Harry. No matter what....
Harry was a little curious why Hermione put that down. Maybe she's just talking about being friends forever.
Then he turned a few more pages.
Dear Diary, Krum and I broke up today. I think he's suspecting that I have feelings for
Harry couldn't believe it. The next word was-----
******Hmmmm.. who could it be.. Maybe you should just keep scrolling? I love little cliffies.
(***continuation of Hermione's diary entry.) Harry.
What should I do dear diary? Should I tell him? No, no I won't. He likes Cho. And he'll always treat me as a friend. Some things are better left unsaid.
Harry just sat on his bed, wondering if he had read everything truly. He couldn't believe Hermione had feelings for him. Was this true? He kept going over that sentence: 'I have feelings for Harry'
He didn't know what to do with this information. Did he feel the same way for her? He didn't know it either.
He felt that if he was going to do something about this, he would like to see her first. He took the leather-covered book and went to the hospital wing. He was going to face whatever it is he feel, right now...
'Ron, do you think Harry likes me?'
'No Hermione, you want to know what I think?'
'He doesn't? What do you think?'
'I think he's drop dead in love with you...too bad he doesn't know it.' Ron laughed,
Hermione didn't get him.
'Do you like him Hermione?'
'Uh...I don't know. I don't remember. But whenever I see him, I feel different.'
'In what way may I ask?'
'Like there are butterflies in my stomach.'
'Oh really?' said Ron amused. 'Interesting...'
Harry stopped walking. He had heard all this. What was he to do? Did he really love Hermione? Did she love him? Harry was really confused. And most of all, he still didn't figure out anything about Gryffindor.
Harry was still not convinced about anything. He was really stubborn. He tried to forget everything and went back to the Gryffindor common room to check Hermione's diary for anything in particular she might have written.
He was in luck...She wrote the title of the book...
************ Oh no! I just realized how long this one is! It's really long, I'm sorry. I'll try to make the next one not quit so long, but I just didn't know where to end this one.
I was asked to write shorter chapters, but that will be slightly difficult, but if you notice I'm already on Chapter 13, and we've just finished the Christmas holiday in book 5, and I have 2 more years to go, and the future.
