Sorry I changed the title. I felt that it didn't really fit with the story. Now, I'm pretty sure that it'll fit this time.

He!He!

Chapter 4:

The few weeks didn't improve. Ron and Hermione started arguing again about something that is as unimportant as an ant.

Harry finally lost it. "Oh, for crying out loud,why don't you two bicker somewhere else?"

And he left the two with shocked looks on their faces.

As he walked back to their dormittory, he heard footsteps following him, and thought it was them.

"What now? Came to ask for forgiveness? Leave me alone!"

"Oh I would, if I know what you're talking about," it wasn't Ron nor Hermione.

He whirled around and came face to face with Crystal's confused look.

"Oh, it's you," he mumbled.

"I can tell there's something the matter," Crystal said. They started walking out the hallway instead of walking back to their dormittory. "Tell me everything."

"You're right about them," Harry declared.

Crystal nodded, with a solemn look on her face. "You wanna talk about it?"

Harry shooked his head. "No, all I need is some peace and quiet."

"What you need," Crystal slithered her hand to Harry's and they walked hand in hand, "is a friend who cares. Come'n. I'll make you feel better."

As they walked out of sight, Hermione got out of her hiding place, with a sad look on her face. "Harry..."

"What do you mean left us?" Ron asked, with a shock look on his face. "He's our best friend. We'd always be there for each other."

Hermione sighed, as she sat down. "I heard it with my own ears."

For once in their life, they weren't arguing. They were quite serious about the situation in their hands right now.

She looked at Ron, with a confused look on her face. "We aren't troubling him, are we Ron?"

"No, ofcourse not! Absolutely..." Harry walked in their dormittory, with no emotion on his face. "Hey Harry!"

"Hey!" Harry said, not looking at them.

Hermione ran after him, grabbing his arm. "Look Harry, you have to tell us what's wrong."

He looked at her as if she was crazy. "There's nothing wrong Hermione," he freed himself from her grasp. "...nothing at all."

Hermione looked at him with a confused look, "I know there is Harry. And that girl Crystal has been trying to help you...or better yet...turned you against us."

Harry stared at her for a minute, then finally said, "You're insane."

He walked towards the boy's common room and slammed it shut.

Hermione looked at the closed door for a minute, and then whirled at Ron. "Well, what are you staring at? Go after him."

Ron did as he was told.

Someone tsked.

Hermione whirled around and saw Crystal at the door, with a smug look on her face.

"Isn't it a pity, that someone so fragile," She walks towards Hermione. "...is about to break."She whispered.

"What?" Hermione cried.

Crystal didn't reply but walked to the girl's common room.

She stopped halfway.

"You'd be careful if I were you," She said, and laughed softly. Then, walked on.

Hermione just stared helplessly at the closing door.
