Chapter 9: Humiliation
Now that Harry knew the whole Hermione/Collette thing they've been spending more and more time together. Harry of course was trying to get Hermione to tell Ron everything, but Hermione was too afraid of Ron's reaction.
"I can't do it, Harry! He'll hate me for the rest of my life," Hermione told Harry.
"Look! You could do this. What I think you need is some confidence. Pretend I'm Ron."
Hermione took a deep breath, "Okay! Ron, there's something I really want to tell you. But before you do just hear me out... you know that Collette girl I've never even met?" Harry nodded trying to get into character. "Well the reason for that is because I am her! I mean, I pretended to be her to get you to like me. But I really don't want you to hate me Ron. I know what I did was wrong and I am so sorry but I don't want all of this to be a complete disaster." Hermione stopped there and smiled at Harry finally thinking that those what perhaps be the right thing to say. "So, how was that?"
Harry stood up and hugged Hermione. "I think if you do just that you will still have your bestfriend. I mean even if you don't you will still have a bestfriend but that's because I'm not the one your interested in and besides I already have a girlfriend.
"And why are you lecturing me about you and I not being together? No offense Harry but I see our relationship being strictly platonic," said Hermione with a wide grin plastered on his face. "So, how should I do it? Should go up to him as myself or go to him as Collette."
"Honestly? I think you should go up to him as Collette. That way if he doesn't believe you then you could prove to him that you really are Collette."
"Thanks Harry! You've been a big help," Hermione replied getting up from her chair and kissing Harry on the cheek before heading out of the portrait hole to find Ron.
Just then Cally came out from the shadows holding a camera. She had to stop Hermione from getting to Ron and the best way to do that was to find Ron first.
Collette found Ron outside on the quidditch field and he was with Callly. Hermione ignored the thought of them talking to each other and walked right up to them.
"Hi Ron! Can I talk to you?" Asked Collette in a serious tone.
Ron however looked mad and upset. "How could you do this to me?"
"What are you talking about?" Now this isn't turning out exactly like she thought.
"Cally told me everything. How could you do this to me?" He was hurt.
"Ron, will you calm down? I can explain—"
"—then explain this..." he was holding up a picture of her kissing Harry on the cheek and the moving photographs looked like they were kissing on the lips.
Hermione looked up at him horrified. "Ron, you don't believe all this do you? Because I was only kissing him on the cheek. And she knows that." Hermione defended pointing a finger at Cally who looked pretending to look innocent.
"Not only are you a liar! But your also Hermione and your dating my bestfriend! Don't you even know how much that hurts?" There were real tears streaming down his face now.
"You know what Ron? She's just trying to make you think that Harry and I are a couple just so that she could snatch you up! Are you really going to let her do that?" Tears were streaming down Hermione's face.
"It's not about that Hermione! It's about the fact that you didn't tell me who you are. In case you were wondering I liked you the way that you were and when I saw you as Collette I forgot all about you. But instead I fell in love with you all over again. I thought we could never be together. And after what you pulled it's been confirmed that we can't be. Because obviously this was some sick, and twisted lie." Ron spun around and ran back to the school.
Hermione put her hands up to her face trying to wipe away all of the tears. Cally decided not to stop right there. She went up to Hermione, "You don't deserve him! Besides he deserves someone who is much better. Someone like... me."
Now Hermione was bawling as she left Cally standing outside in the warm sunshine. Although it didn't feel like sunshine anymore since her world started to come crashing down with rain.
