Ch.6 – w00t w00t!!!!
"Oh, it's nothing is it, Harry?"
"So I am the problem?"
"Yes, you have been avoiding us! As if we hurt you in some way!".
"I think I'll be going now." He stood up and started walking down the Hall; certain Gryffindors that had heard the conversation were giving him frightful glances although he did really care... when...
"WHEN WILL YOU STOP THIS?" An angered shout was heard across the Great Hall, it boomed over the loud noises of people talking and laughing, of forks and knives against plates, and after that... everything was silent. Harry turned around, seemingly calm but his shout was as equally powerful as Hermione's.
"STOP WHAT, EXACTLY?"
"THIS!" She motioned with her hands to him and to... everything at once. "THIS STUPID SELF PITTY ACT YOU HAVE GOING ON!"
"I DO NOT FEEL SELF PITTY!!!"
"WELL, YOU SURELY ACT AS IF YOU DO, POTTER!" It stung him when she yelled 'Potter.' "YOU ACT AS IF YOU ARE SOME KIND OF GREEK TRAGEDY WE SHOULD ALL PRAISE AND BE DELICATE WITH JUST BECAUSE YOU'VE BEEN THROUGH WHAT YOU HAVE BEEN!"
"I HAVE BEEN THROUGH MORE THAN YOU HAVE OR WILL EVER BE THROUGH!" He shouted, all eyes were on them, everybody had stopped eating and was looking at them, McGonagall had worry written all over her face, Dumbledore's eyes were twinkling, Trelawney was smiling (I'm not sure she really knew what was going on), Madam Pomfrey had her hand clasped over her mouth, Lupin was wide eyed, not knowing if to do something or not, and Snape had a video camera out and was taping all that was going on.
"I UNDERSTAND THAT HARRY! WE ALL DO!" Tears were welling up in her eyes. "THAT'S WHY YOU SHOULD LEAN ON US! NOT LEAVE US ALONE!"
"IF I DIDN'T VOLDEMORT (—Ron Flinched—) WOULD BE A THREAT TO ALL OF YOU!"(A/N: By you and us they mean Ron and Hermione...) "I'M JUST TRYING TO PROTECT YOU!"
"HAVE YOU EVER THOUGHT WE EITHER NEED OR WANT PROTECTION!" Harry looked her and started walk away... "YOU WILL NOT WALK AWAY FROM ME! ... ... ... ...HARRY JAMES POTTER! WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING? WE UNDERSTAND HOW YOU FEEL! YOU DON'T HAVE TO GO AWAY! YOU HAVE THIS WEIRD IDEA CARVED INTO YOUR MIND THAT YOU HAVE TO FACE THIS ALL ALONE! THAT THERE IS NO-ONE NEXT TO YOU!"
"THERE ISN'T!"
"So what are we then?!" She was talking normally now, but her voice was carried through the entire Great Hall. "Are we just a burden? People to pass out time, are we not your friends Harry?"
"Yes! You are... but, I have faced everything ALONE!"
"HOW CAN YOU SAY THAT!" She was back to yelling, the hurt that his last statement had caused deep in her soul was present in her shaky voice, in her tear stained cheeks and tear drenched eyes.... "WHO HELPED YOU FACE THE TROLL IN FIRST YEAR? WHO HELPED YOU RESEARCH ABOUT THE CHAMBER OF SECRETS? WHO WENT INTO THE SHREIKING SHACK AND FACED SIRIUS AND LUPIN ALL ALONE WITH YOU, WHO DID YOU TRAVEL BACK IN TIME...aherm WHO STOOD BY YOU IN THE TRIWIZARDING CONTEST WHEN NO-ONE WOULD EVEN GIVE YOU A SECOND GLANCE? .....................................AND LAST YEAR? WHO WAS WITH YOU IN THE DEPARTMENT OF MYSTERIES, WHO CONVICED YOU AND HELPED YOU WITH DUMBLEDORE'S ARMY? WHO SUPPORTED YOU ON CHO?
"WHO HAS BEEN SITTING NEXT TO YOU EVERY TIME YOU HAVE BEEN IN THE HOSPITAL WING, HAS STOOD NEXT TO YOU EVEN WHEN YOU HAVE BEEN WRONG?
"Who helps you with your homework? Who would do anything for you, Harry? Who has been standing with you all these years?" The tears that had been threatening to come down where now fluently running down Hermione's cheeks. There was silence... complete silence. No-one spoke, no-one breathed, no-one even blinked. Hermione stood there... tear drenched, her heart beating harder than it had ever before. She thought, or rather felt because her mind wasn't working properly this very minute, that her heart would thomp so hard that it would jump out of her chest and start breaking in front of everyone, in front of Harry. Harry's eyes were tear stained, slowly they were starting to drip from his eyes, tickling his cheek as they descended down his face. He stood there looking at Hermione, looking into those dark brown eyes that meant everything to him. Speechless, she was right. What could he say to something like that? She was absolutely right, she had beent he only person in his life who had never turned her back on him, she had always been straight forward, truthful and loyal. "WELL! ANSWER ME!" She yelled and his thoughts were immediately snapped back to reality.
"You." He said in a whisper...
"What?" She said, clearly she hadn't hear him, but he didn't care that she hadn't been able to hear, that probably the only person able to hear had been himself and Lupin with that canine ear of his.
"I SAID YOU! HERMIONE GRANGER! YOU ARE THE PERSON THAT HAS STOOD BY ME NO MATTER WHAT! YOU'VE BEEN WITH ME SINCE DAY ONE!"
"EXACTLY!"
"WHAT DO YOU WANT, NOW? A MEDAL? A TROPHY? 'HERMIONE GRANGER WINS THE CONTEST STAND NEXT TO POTTER FOR THE LONGEST TIME!'"
"NO, I WANT YOUR FRIENDSHIP! I WANT TO KNOW WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU... BUT... I..." She stuttered, sobbing. She stood there and thought for a while... what DID she want...? "I WANT TO KNOW WHY YOU TOOK ME FOR GRANTED?!"
"I NEVER TOOK YOU FOR GRANTED, HERMIONE! THE TOTAL OPPOSITE! I CHERISH YOU BEYOND BELIEF!"
"WELL THEN WHY DO YOU WALK AWAY FROM ME?"
"You want to know why I walk away? The truth?" She nodded not looking up at him, crying her eyes out, embarrassed of being seen in this state by Harry. Ron wanted to stand up and hug her, to beat Harry up but Draco stopped him, and Neville shook his head. "Because I want you to be happy!" He shouted.
"WHAT GIVES YOU THE IMPRESSION THAT I WILL BE HAPPY WITH OUT YOU!" She shouted at the top of her lungs.
"I WANT YOU TO BE HAPPY WITH RON! YOU CAN'T BE HAPPY WITH RON IF I'M NEXT TO YOU!" Harry made no effort to stop the tears that were tracing down his face. Ron frowned at this... 'not happy with me if he's next to her?' Hermione looked up and frowned at Harry. Confusion framing her face and drowning her tears.
"What? Why?" Hermione spoke the words the entire Great Hall had been wondering.
"BECAUSE I'M IN LOVE WITH YOU!" Hermione stood wide eyed, Ron almost fell over and there was a gasp heard in unison coming from the room. "ALRIGHT? THERE! I SAID IT! I'M IN LOVE WITH YOU, HERMIONE JANE GRANGER, THE OBJECT OF MYAFFECTION! SINCE THE FIRST TIME I SAW YOU! I JUST NEVER REALIZED IT, DAFT LIL OL' ME!"
"Why didn't you say anything?" She whispered...
"Because... you were with Ron, Hermione... I couldn't do that to you, nor him! That's why I've been pulling away, it's not fair to either of you! Alright?" Hermione looked deeper into his bright green eyes that somehow seemed numb. Her eyes swollen because of the tears, and what she saw surprised her. Harry's eyes had a pained expression in them now, anger flashed through them, yet they were soft, comprehensive, protective and loving when they set themselves on her, she saw the tears forming in his eyes again and starting to flow faster and faster as the seconds passed between them, the Great Hall was so silent she could hear clearly when his tear drops feel to the ground, and each echoing sound of them dropping and hitting the ground was a stab at her heart.
He turned around and walked away. Where he went Hermione didn't know... what he thought, she couldn't even imagine, and what she thought... nothing. She couldn't think, the fight they had just had flashed through her head over and over again, replaying all the words and all the actions, every emotion shown in his bright emerald green eyes, but it never dawned on her what it all meant. 'He's in love with me.' Was her final thought before she collapsed and Professor Lupin caught her before she hit the ground. When he stood up no-one knew, not even himself, the hall was quiet, you could've heard a pin drop. And then a voice was heard through the Hall.
"Electronic devices don't work on Hogwarts ground, Severus." Said the distant voice of Trelawney and the unmistakable voice of Snape replied.

"Aherm" Dumbledore cleared his throat. "Professor Snape, Professor McGonagall please assist Madame Pomfrey on escorting Miss Granger to the Hospital wing. Professor Lupin, please search the castle and find out if Mr. Potter is alright. Mr. Weasley..." Ron looked to the Head Table... shocked,--- bemused,--- bewildered, yes, bewildered is the right word. "If you need... to go to the Infirmary, please follow Madame Pomfrey. If not... I suggest we all go back to dinner." Dumbledore said. Snape was going to stand up, the Hall still in silence when he heard Trelawney.
"Severus, my dear, watch your step as you go down the stairs. You will fall down." Snape rolled his eyes.
"Right, like you EVER said a right prediction." He started walking down the stair and at the last step he fell over, landing face down on the floor. "How did you know that would happen? Maybe you DO have the inner eye." Snape said suspiciously.
"Oh, no! I tied your shoelaces together...!"
Silence.....................................................................
Author's Note: Ha! There... what will happen next? How's Harry? Hermione? Ron?... Why is Trelawney so evil to Snape? Is there anything going on there...? What will happen with Ron/Hermione... I promise I'll show a Christmas thingy... please be patient.
