A/N : AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I am BACK…. silence
Hm, yes. OK this is random and short WILL go somewhere. I must remember how I did this shit in the first place, so do bear with me.
"Anyone for Exploding Snap?"
Ron's would-be-cheerful words were met with silence. The Gryffindors sprawled in their common room to the sound of heavy rain, having just come in from their disastrous match against Ravenclaw.
Ginny yawned, looking mournful.
"I'm off to bed."
"Oh no, come on Gin… Let's do something, for God's sake," said Hermione, sounding thoroughly exasperated. Ginny looked round at her.
"Such as?"
Hermione shook her head. Ron brightened.
"Let's go annoy Snape," he suggested.
"Novel," said Ginny scathingly.
Harry suddenly sat up and walked out. Ron looked mildly surprised, but Hermione merely followed him out into the corridor.
"What's wrong, Harry?" the others heard her ask.
Harry reached back and shut the door.
"It's Ginny, isn't it?" sighed Hermione, confident no one could hear from the common room.
"No," said Harry, miserable. "It's Malfoy."
There was a pause as Hermione stared at him.
Er."
Harry raised his eyes to the heavens.
"Forget it, Mione. I'm going to bed."
He turned and made for the staircase.
"Harry – Harry, wait!"
Harry turned. "What?"
"You are not leaving me with that relatively worrying piece of information."
"I didn't – it was just…"
He dithered into silence under Hermione's look.
"Fine. Fine, OK. Go tell the others if it would make you happy. Give you all something to do, right? Work out whether I've really lost it yet."
"Harry, what are talking about? You know I'd never tell them anything. Just… What did you mean, exactly? I … misinterpreted, or something. What about Malfoy?"
Harry stared at her.
"I'm in love with him, Hermione."
"Oh. Oh, right," said Hermione, sounding somewhat hollow.
"Yes. Um, well, I shall see you tomorrow, Mione."
Hermione watched him go, frowning slightly. Then, slowly, she turned and climbed the stairs to bed.
