The Mistake

"What's the matter? Havn't you ever seen a couple before?" Ron said acidly. Harry sneered.

"You better make sure it goes both ways. She didn't look very happy about your statement." Ron's ears went red as he thought of something to say. Harry flirted with Hermione to enrage Ron even more. 'I might get him to say what he really think of me.' Hermione blushed slightly as Harry smiled at her.

"You're just a bleedy death eater. Thinking you'll get power if you lick You-Know-Who's shoes long enough." Ron clenched and unclenched his fists as Harry turned to him, sneering.

"And what if I am. You'll go to your mummy and cry, or go and get Potter to do the dirty work." Harry managed to make it as if he really loathed the Potter boy, himself.

"You should fear Harry. He's the one that will kill You-Know-Who." Ron was fuming, while Hermione tried make Harry look and talk to her instead of Ron.

"Really. Then you're really proud of being his friend then Weasle. Proud of being nothing compared to the boy who lived." Harry was watching Ron with satisfaction as he started talking about him.

"Harry's nothing. He's just my ticked to fame." Ron said. Hermione was still trying to get eyecontact with Harry.

"I've heard that he speak parsletounge, the only known parslemouth besides the Dark lord."

"He is probably going to try and take over the world when he has killed Voldemort. He is evil enough." Ron said. Hermione snapped out of her trance and turned to Ron.

"Ron! He's your friend!" She said.

"Only because of the fame. Don't tell me you really are his friend."

"I am Harry's friend. He's wonderful. And if it weren't for him you would probably live in the shadow of Fred and George trying to live up to them." Hermione said angily. 'This is taking an very interestion turn' Harry thought.

"Oh yeah? What's so wonderful about him. He's just a stuck up prat who thinks he can do what he wants because it's the good thing to do." Ron looked discusted at the end of his sentance.

"I really didn't think that of you, Ron." Hermione said turning to Harry again. She looked past Harry in to the shop. She gave a shy smile to Harry who returned it fully. Harry turned back to Ron as the door closed behind Hermione. Harry listened to Rons rant about girls, death-eaters and stupid strangers with small smile on his face.

Remus and Tracy looked up as they heard the bell ringing. Tracy and Remus smiled at the newcomer.

"Hello Hermione, buying your schoolbooks?" Remus said as Hermione walked up to them. She gave Tracy a smile before turning to Remus.

"Where's Harry?" Tracy and Remus looked at each other then out the door.

"He's standing outside talking to that redhead." Tracy said smiling. Hermione stared, then turned to stare at Harry who looked at her with a smile on his face waving. She waved slowly before turning to Remus and Tracy again.

"That's not Harry. Where's the scar? And why isn't he skinny?"

"I don't know. You should ask him." Remus answered. He smiled weakly at Hermione gesturing towards the door. "Go on. He wont wait forever. He wants to be back before lunch." Hermione walked out the door. And as the door closed behind her Harry smiled happily.

"Hi Hermione. Sorry about this. But I couldn't resist. Really."

"Harry?" Ron stopped ranting and stared first at Hermione and then Harry, and the Hermione again. Switching between looking as if they were mad and fear.

"Yes?"

"Is it really you?"

"Of course Hermy. Who else?" She smiled and then threw herself at him and hugged him tightly. Harry returned the hug, but much more gently.

"Are you mad Hermione? That's not Harry. Harry's small, skinny, wears glassed and has a foul scar on his forhead. Besides, would Harry call me Weasle? And I forbid you to hug that man, you're not very faithful, are you Hermione?" Hermione loosened her hug so that she could glare at Ron.

"You really thought I was your girlfriend?" She said coldly.

"But you are." He looked hurt as she shook her head, Harry smiled. "But- But the kiss?"

"It was nothing Ron. I thought I had feelings for you but-."

"But what? You'd rather have Harry? Or a complete stranger, who in fact is a death-eater?" Ron said disbelievingly.

"Who's a death-eater?" came the voice of Remus.

"Lupin. What are you doing here?"

"Shopping school surplies with Harry." Remus said and gestured toward, well, Harry. He put the bags with books down so that he wouldn't have to hold them the whole time. "What's happening here?" He said as he looked at the scene before him. Hermione in Harry's arms, Ron red as a tomatoe, looking confused and shocked.

"Ron is behaving like the prat he is." Hermione explained. "He said what he really thought of Harry. To Harry himself. And he called Harry a death-eater." Hermione hugged Harry closer, and Harry hugged Hermione closer. Remus looked first amused with the way Harry and Hermione held each other closer, and then he looked completely murderous as he turned to Ron.

"You called Harry a death-eater!?" He said towering up over Ron who really was taller but was cowering under Remus's furious gaze.

"I- I didn't- n't know." Ron wispered weakly.

"Get lost. Go home and tell Molly what you've done. I'll write her a letter as soon as I can. And you'd better told her by then." Ron ran down Diagon Alley and in to WWW. Remus was fuming.

"Thank you, Remus. I couldn't have done it better my self." Harry said laughing. "You saw him running?" He hugged Hermione tighter (How tight can they hug?) and then let go.

"You're welcome." Remus said as he walked back in the store, picking up the bags on the way. Harry hear him murmuring, "Might as well talk some more with Tracy before we go." He looked down at Hermione who looked at him over.

"You've really changed. To the better, if you don't mind me saying so." She said as she settled on his eyes.

"I know you thought that. The way you looked at me." Harry said with a smile. Hermione blushed but didn't look down. "Are you buying your supplies today?"

"No. I bought them yesterday. We, me and Ron, came to see you." She said.

"You staying in the HQ?"

"Yes."

"Dumbledore sent mrs Weasley a letter, didn't he." Hermione moved closer.

"I really missed you, Harry." She said as she reached up, and Harry bent his head.

Inside the store Remus and Tracy were watching the two teens outside. Coth with a smile on their faces.

"Do you think they would notice if there were an attack now?" Tracy asked slowly.

"Harry would. But he'd probably ignore it till a curse were flying their way." Remus replied.

A/N: Ok not very nice chapter, but anyway. The next will have some more action in it.

I think the school term starts in two, maby three chapters. And thanks to all reviewers....
