13. Confrontation
The news that Hermione and Snape were dating travelled quickly around the school. Most were disgusted, but no one more than Ron. About a week after they had started dating, Ron couldn't stand it anymore and confronted Hermione in the Entrance Hall.
"Is it true that you're dating Snape?" asked Ron heatedly.
"Yes I am" replied Hermione defiantly. "What is it to you anyway?"
"You're dating the greasy git, Mione! Don't you remember what he's like?"
"YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO CALL ME THAT! And he's not a greasy git, he's a wonderful smart person, far more than you! I do remember what he's like, but he's not like that now. You know nothing about his past self, he's different. Whatever happens between now and then changed him."
Ron stared at her, speechless. "I can't believe you would do this to me."
"Do this to you? What about what you did to me?" Hermione stepped closer to Ron and slapped him.
Ron gaped at her, clutching his cheek, which was rapidly turning red.
She spun on her heel and left the room, not noticing Snape standing in the shadows.
