(Thanks for the reviews! I usually try not to thanks specific reviewers, but thanks J.E.A.R.K. Potter, who has ALWAYS reviewed. Anyway, here's your Harry/Hermione chapter. Hope you enjoy it!)
Harry walked out of the room while Virginia was blushing at him. She really looked like she wanted to talk to her brother, so Harry didn't mind leaving when she asked him to. The only problem now was that Hermione could find him, and he totally blew her off earlier.
He didn't really mean to be so bloody mean to her; he was just in such a good mood. He had finally been his old self again. Things moved to fast, and whistling seemed to slow things down. However, now Harry knew had to get up to pace and explain things to Hermione before she hated him forever.
Harry went down to the common room to look for Hermione only to find Angelina in a serious make-out-session with, whom else but Roger. She was sitting on his lap and it looked disgusting. 'Just whistle and walk by' he thought. He walked by whistling and acting really cool. It would have been great, if he didn't trip. Angelina look up and saw Harry lying on the floor. "What are you doing here, Harry?" Angelina said very nastily.
"Well, see the common room is open to all Gryffindors, so I'm allowed to be here, Angelina." Harry said getting up. Roger had a very smug look on his face.
"I think she meant on the floor, idiot." Roger said. Harry stepped back a little and looked at Roger.
"Roger, you're a Gryffindor? Never knew that." Harry said. "Wonder why at all those Quidditch matches you're playing against us, then."
"What are you getting at, Potter?" Angelina asked. "Why don't you just leave me and my boyfriend alone?" She said boyfriend a little louder to let other people know that she was over Harry.
"Oh, boyfriend, is it?" Harry said. "I'm so sorry Roger."
"Shut it, Potter." Roger said. "And go away."
"You should go away, you're not even a Gryffindor." Harry said.
"Shut it, Potter." Roger said, pushing Angelina off his lap to stand up. "My girlfriend and I will leave."
"You call that thing a girlfriend?" Harry said. "I'd call it a monster."
"Shut it." Roger said.
"How long have you been going out? Five minutes?" Harry said. "Cause she was asking me out earlier. Said we were meant for each other."
"I said shut it, Potter!" Roger said, looking ready to attack.
"Get out, Davis." Harry said. "Or are you afraid your girlfriend will try to find someone better again?"
"SHUT IT!" Roger screamed and went for Harry. Angelina stepped between them.
"STOP!" she screamed. She looked at Roger and said firmly, "We'll go." Roger hesitated, but soon he left. Harry was so upset, so he went upstairs again. He saw Virginia leave the room, so he went in, completely forgetting about Hermione.
The next morning at breakfast, Harry was trying to find Hermione. He felt really bad about not talking to her yesterday, so he tried to talk her ASAP. He found her eating oatmeal at the Gryffindor table reading Hogwarts, A History. He sat down next to her and said, "Look, don't say anything. I know you're mad, and I'm sorry I didn't get to talk to you yesterday. Let me explain." Hermione just kept eating her oatmeal. Harry continued.
"Things move really quickly. Dumbledore told me this yesterday, and then Angelina came up to me. Well, you know that part, kind of. Let me clarify something: she kissed me, and I was taken by surprise. I do not want to get back together with Angelina." Hermione softened now and at least turned to face him. Her eyes, so big, were saying continue, so he did.
By now, Ginny had passed. Harry heard a thud and looked down to see Ginny on the floor. It reminded him of yesterday and what happened. It was so funny that the same thing happened to her, that he laughed a little. Ron picked her up and brought her outside.
"You were laughing." Hermione said bluntly. Harry explained what happened, and Hermione agreed that was a little coincidental.
"Look, Hermione, what I'm trying to say isâI don't want to be your boyfriend." Harry said.
"You pig!" Hermione said. "You give me this whole story to tell me that? Men!" She picked up the book and left. Harry sighed and ran after her. 'You should have said it after you said you didn't want a girlfriend at all. That would have made sense, jerk.' He thought. He ran after her, but by the time he caught up to her, she was inside her room, and he was outside.
"Hermione, listen, that's not what I meant." Harry said. Or tired to at least. She slammed the door shut and locked it by the time he said "Hermione, listen." Harry hit his head against the door. He turned around, leaned on the door, and slid down. (You know what I mean.) He thought of saying something through the door, but that seemed corny. Instead he just left and went to his room. 'Will this ever end?' he thought as he flopped on his bed.
(Well, that's a Harry/Hermione Chapter, okay? It will be better next time, trust me. Will they go out? Will Ginny get over the embarrassment? Like Harry thought, WILL THIS EVER END?!?!?! Yes, of course. Just one last chapter. Please review!)
