Ok, and now, for chapter nine....

chapter nine....Why so mad?

Hermione woke the next day wondering why she felt so miserable. Then she remembered last night. Sighing, she rolled over and got out of bed. The anger she felt towards Harry from the previous day was still there. As she went about her usual morning rituals, she thought some more about last night. She was still upset that Harry hadn't told her about the girl. It hurt her to think he kept things from her. She didn't expect him to tell her everything, but didn't he trust her enough? I mean, I helped him last year to understand Cho's feelings..he listened to me then...so why won't he tell me now?

These thoughts stayed with her all morning. Soon she was ready to go and headed down to the common room. On her way out of her room, she slammed her door a bit harder than usual just to remind Harry she still hadn't forgiven him. Not that he cares...she thought. He probably doesn't even know why I'm mad at him...

Finally she made it down the stairs and then headed towards the portrait hole on the other side of the room. Usually she waited for Harry, but this morning she had no intentions what so ever. She walked over to the portrait hole, opened it, and set off to the Great Hall.

The men in the picture called out to her as she left.

"Why so mad?"

Hermione turned to the picture.

"And what may I ask makes you think I'm mad?" she asked in a aggravated voice.

"Well, It's not that hard, now is it?"

"Slamming doors, talking in a huffy voice..."

"And that temper! I tell you, the students in my day would have never behaved like that..."

"Yes, didn't your parents teach you manners?"

"I can tell you if I were to treat my elders like that, I wouldn't be here anymore..."

"Honestly!"

Hermione gave the men a most deadly look before turning her back on them and stomping off down the stairs.

That day Hermione represented a zombie. Every time the bell would ring, she would walk from class to class, taking notes as usual. She didn't eat much at lunch, and totally skipped dinner. Instead she headed towards the library hoping to get some work done. However, she figured out no matter how many times she read same paragraph, she wasn't comprehending any of it. Her thoughts kept going back to Harry. I just wish this stupid fight was over....Then I wouldn't be here by myself...I would be with Ron and Harry...we would probably be laughing at one thing or another, maybe one of Ron's jokes...and Harry and me could be in the same room without me hating him or hating myself for being mad at him...

If only things were that easy.....

Sorry this chapter was a bit short, but the next should be longer. I just thought i would let you all know whats going on, that Hermione is still mad at Harry, bc it wouldnt' make sence to some if they didn't know after reading the next chapter. So, stay tuned to see what happens when Hermione finds out who the girl Ron was talking about, could there be only one? maybe.. just make sure to read and review and i'll update quicker! just joking, im writing the next chapter all ready..
