Hermione went off to bed, suddenly not looking forward to her remedial potions lesson the next day. 'Why does Ron have to love me?' she thought miserably. 'And why do I have to like Snape?' she could've cried. 'Was I doing the right thing in telling Ginny? I know she won't tell anyone but I know she'll be all weirded out by me now,' Hermione thought to herself. It was late. She looked at her watch and she found that it was no longer late at night, it was actually quite early in the morning. One o'clock to be exact. She finally fell asleep.
The next started out terribly. Ron hadn't waited for her with Harry to go down to breakfast, which he usually did. Harry tried to make an excuse for him, "He wanted to get an early start so he could be to class on time," Harry lied.
"Oh yes, of course," Hermione said, wishing she could believe him.
Harry noticed her frustration right away and said "Listen, Hermione, he loved you, I doubt he'd throw away and entire friendship just like that, he'll come around eventually, besides, you're still going to the Yule Ball with him, aren't you?"
"Oh, well he did ask me, but I highly doubt him still wanting to go with me…." Hermione said sadly.
"I'm sure by then the whole thing will have subsided and you guys will go," Harry said, not quite sure of himself.
"I hope so…." Hermione, almost in tears.
They walked into the Great Hall, it was immediately obvious that Ron didn't want to see Hermione nor Harry, as he was already sitting between Dean and Seamus.
"It's a good thing he's got those guys to run off to every time he's angry or else he'd probably go insane," Harry said, trying to make Hermione laugh.
"Ya….." Hermione said, Harry wasn't entirely sure she had heard his comment.
Harry and Hermione took a seat on either side of Ginny. Harry kissed her on the cheek. Hermione was trying to avoid he eyes.
"Ron is still mad, I suppose?" Ginny asked unnecessarily.
"Yup….." Hermione said, still avoiding her eyes.
"What did you say to him last night, Harry?" Ginny asked, leaning her head on Harry's shoulder.
"Nothing. When I walked in, he was pretending to be asleep, and by the time I was changed, he was asleep," Harry said.
"That's just like him, he won't talk to anyone!" Ginny said, sounding angry.
The morning dragged on the same way, Ron ignoring Harry and Hermione, pretending to be having a great time with Dean and Seamus. Harry had been trying in vain all day to cheer Hermione up, she barely spoke at all. Then lunch arrived. Harry and Hermione made an attempt to talk to Ron, by sitting in the seat he had sat in that morning with Dean and Seamus. Dean and Seamus didn't seem to have noticed, and they just sat somewhere else, Ron shot them a dirty look and he ran off to sit with Dean and Seamus.
The next class was Care of Magical Creatures. Hagrid noticed that the Ron had avoided Harry and Hermione all class. He called Harry and Hermione over after class.
"'ow come yer ain't talkin' to Ron? He was one of yer best friends jus' yesterday, weren't he?" Hargrid asked, slightly concerned.
Harry responded, "Oh, he's just upset about something, God only knows what, he'll come around, don't worry."
"I sure hope so, it'd just kill me ter see such good friends be separatin'" Hagrid said.
"Don't worry, it's not that serious," Hermione reassured him, not entirely sure herself.
"Alright then, off yer go," Hagrid said forcing a smile on his face.
Their next class was double potions. 'This is going to be hell,' Hermione thought to herself. Luckily, Snape was in a good mood, for he had just issued a detention to a first year Hufflepuff and had taken 20 points to a third year Gryffindor.
"Good afternoon, class," Snape said. The whole class was surprised to see him so happy.
After some hesitation the class returned a "Good afternoon, Professor."
Snape walked up to his desk. This time, Hermione was sure she saw him wink at her. Her heart skipped a beat. 'Why is he winking at me constantly?' Hermione asked herself. Well, the lesson went along as usual, except for Snape's rather friendly mood and the fact the he called on Hermione every now and then, right out of nowhere.
Dinner went exactly the same way as breakfast and lunch had. Ron ignoring them, laughing it up with Dean and Seamus. Harry, Hermione, and Ginny sitting alone. Harry and Hermione taking turns describing to Ginny their day. Ron, Dean, and Seamus walked out early, they began to head downstairs, to the dungeons. Hermione dreaded having to follow them. She reluctantly got up and left. She stopped to try and listen what the three boys were saying.
"Hey Ron, you still like Hermione, don't you?" Seamus asked.
"Fuck, no! She's such a damn whore. I can't believe I ever did like her in the first place," Ron said, laughing.
"Hahahaha, I know what you mean," Dean agreed.
That's how it went for a little while, them taking stabs at Hermione. Finally, Hermione couldn't take it anymore, she ran through them sobbing. Ron looked sad when he saw her.
Hermione ran to Snape's classroom, still crying.
"What's the matter?" Snape asked, sounding concerned.
She didn't know why she had done it, but she did. She explained the whole situation she was in with Ron, starting with him telling her that he loved her. Snape seemed rather interested. He even put his around her shoulder, consolingly.
'What am I doing?' Snape thought to himself. 'She's a fucking mud blood' but I can't remove my arm.
Hermione finally stopped crying. She looked at Snape, about to thank him, but he was staring at her. He leaned in, he kissed her. Just then, Ron walked in, ready to apologize, but he walked in, they immediately stopped. Luckily, they didn't think Ron saw it.
"What is it, Weasley?" Snape spat.
"Just wanted to apologize to Hermione, sorry Hermione," Ron said nervously
"It's ok, Ron, I forgive you," Hermione said, wanting to avoid an awkward silence.
"Ok, then, Ron, she forgave you, now we have work to do in here, leave!" Snape ordered. Ron left right away.
