Chapter Five: The Conversations
PREVIOUSLY:
"Ron, you have to go and make Harry think about her, so he can realize he likes, maybe even loves her." Ginny said. Ron nodded, even though he thought it wasn't the best idea. "Then what are you going to do?" Ron asked. "I'm going to call Hermione. Ginny skipped out of the room and ran to the phone, all the time that same mischievous grin on her face.
HERMIONE'S HOUSE:
Hermione's mom knew exactly why her daughter wanted to go early, but she wanted her daughter to know. "Hermione, why do you want to go this early?" Hermione started choking on her water (It is possible, trust me). Her mom just shook her head. "Hermione, is there something you want to talk about?"
Mrs. Granger was sensing some hesitance. "Mum, let's say, hypothetically, of course, that someone lov...liked their best friend." Her mom smiled, she was going to make Hermione realize this if it was the last thing she did. "Sweetie, everyone likes their best friend." Hermione shook her head and looked down. "As more than a friend." She finished.
RON'S HOUSE:
Ron walked back into his room where Harry was. "What was that all about?" Harry asked, suspicious. "Oh, nothing, just Ginny, I was trying to convince her that just because she had a dream about you, doesn't mean that it will really happen." Ron smiled, he loved this. Harry blushed and went back to writing.
Ron walked to Harry and saw that what he was writing in was a journal. "What are you writing?" Ron asked trying to look over Harry's shoulder. Harry, snapping back to reality, slammed the journal closed. Ron backed off. "Sorry. Mate, just wondering."
Harry looked at Ron apologetically. "Sorry, it's just I don't even know what I'm writing." Ron looked at him, confused. Harry continued. "You say a spell and it writes down your feelings and writes about things that are important to you, even if you don't know." Harry finished, putting the journal on the shelf. Ron smiled, wondering if it had anything about Hermione in it.
HERMIONE'S HOUSE:
Hermione suddenly broke down, crying. Her mom walked over to her and hugged her. "Sweetie, what's wrong?" Her mom asked in a concerned voice. "He's in love with Cho, and Cho likes him, and he'll never notice me, and all he talks about is Cho, Cho, Cho, what's so great about her anyway, she's just beautiful and nice and sweet. They are the 'perfect' couple to everyone else. It's hard to hear him talk about Cho when I'm falling in love with the boy-who-lived"
Hermione's eyes went wide and she sat down, her hands over her mouth. Hermione's mother pulled up a chair and sat down in front of her. The phone rang, but nobody got up to answer it, Hermione and her mum were deep in conversation about Harry.
RON'S HOUSE:
Ron sat down by Harry, thinking maybe he could start a conversation. Harry was just looking at his feet, completely zoning out. "Mate?" Ron waved his hand in front of Harry. Harry sat up straight and said "what...what? I'm listening." Ron shook his head. "Is there something you want to talk about?"
Ginny hung up the phone, mad because her plan wouldn't happen. She decided to call later. Maybe she could get a different plan by then
HERMIONE'S HOUSE:
Hermione was trying to make herself think that is wasn't love, but lust, or a crush, but not love. "Mom, what should I do? I can't bear to hear him talk about Cho another year." Hermione's mom had only one more thing to say. "Tell him."
