Don't own. I think that's all. Anywho this is the next chapter and I hope that you all like it. Please review after. Mucho love to all of my readers. I would be nothing without you. Bows dramatically

Harry woke up with his spirits high then memories of the night before bombarded him.

Cheating, breakup…twice, kiss, Mione, stalling and possible rejection. What a perfect day. He swung his legs off the bed dressed in his pajama pants. Why is my life so miserable?

He heard the door outside slam shut. His muggle clock said that it was an hour from noon. I wonder who's out there.

He went to the bathroom to brush his teeth then he headed outside. He heard some sounds emanating from the kitchen. Hermione. He approached with total caution but was flooded with relief when he saw that it was not Hermione but Ron that was there, drinking coffee.

"And where you yesterday mister?"

Ron jumped at the sudden sound of Harry's voice. He turned to see Harry with an amused expression.

"For your bloody information I was getting my groove on."

Harry chuckled at his best friend. "How is Luna?"

"She's doing wonderfully which is expected after spending a day with her most wonderful fiancé."

Harry's eyes went wide with surprise and happiness. He made his way to the breakfast table and gave Ron a congratulatory hug before sitting down. "You're kidding. I thought you were going to wait a while."

"Nope. I asked her yesterday and she tore my bones."

Harry grimaced. "Ok did not need to know that."

"I'm going to head back in about five. I just wanted to let you and Mione know about it. Where is she anyways?"

Harry signed at the mention of her name. "I don't know. Haven't seen her since last night."

The sign did not go unnoticed by Ron. "What happened between you two? Did you have a row again?" Ever since Amanda that had been happening for frequently.

Harry shook his head. "I kissed her." Harry said, not beating around the bush.

Ron choked on his coffee. "You did what? What about Amanda? I may not like her but no girl deserves that."

"No Ron, you prat. I broke up with Amanda," he laughed when Ron sent a prayer of thanks up to the Heavens. "She cheated on me," his laughter dying out quickly.

Ron stopped mid prayer when he heard that. "She what? What a two bit whore. Who'd she do it with?"

Harry seethed. "Seamus Finnegan."

Ron gasped. "The mother-"

"Ron! When did you get here?" Harry looked to see Hermione in the doorway…in the shortest shorts known to man.

"Bloody hell Hermione. Might as well walk around wearing your knickers."

She blushed at his comment. She pushed down her nonexistent shorts. "You haven't answered my question. What time did you get here?" She poured herself a cup of coffee and sat down in the seat farthest away from Harry. She was trying to keep all contact with him limited. On the other hand Harry's eyes were constantly on Hermione and her 'knicker' shorts. She was driving him crazy and right now that was clearly evident. He needed a cold shower and quick. He zoned out while Ron was explaining the good news.

"What's the matter Harry?"

He was snapped back to earth. "Nothing. I'll talk to you later Ron and tell Luna that I'm happy for her and she needs to stop being a stranger and come visit this lonely and handsome man." He quickly got up (failing to notice Ron's warning look), careful to hide his happiness and walked away with haste.

When Ron made sure that Harry was out of earshot (couldn't risk Harry hearing this for he had no idea.) he turned to Hermione. "So?"

Hermione looked at him bewildered. "What the bugger are you talking about? So what?"

"You and Harry. I felt there was some tension there and was wondering if you guys were in a row." Will she or will she not. Let's see how much she trusts me to tell me what happened.

Hermione looked at where Harry was seated before turning back to her newly engaged best friend. "Nothing…Well actually, yes something did happen and I am helplessly confused as to what I'm feeling or what to do. I know how Harry feels, he laid it out on the table pretty clearly last night, but then when I overanalyze it, which I usually do, I can't help but think that it's the remnant of what Amanda did do him and… I'm…just so confused." She let her head fall to the hard, wood surface of the table.

That's it Hermione, let it all out. "Now first off tell me what happened."

Hermione exhaled slowly and said flat out, "We kissed and it wasn't just any kiss. It was a kiss that was full of passion and feeling, but that just could have been a one sided thing. I could have been imagining it, making the kiss and feelings as vivid and detailed as if they were actually happening."

"Ok so you kissed. What happened to the harlot?"

Hermione looked disgusted. "Well that bimbo graduated and is now officially a floozy. She cheated on Harry."

Ron mimicked his actions to this revelation from earlier. "That two-bit whore. With who?"

Hermione could feel the tears coming but rapidly regained her composure. "Well that's the funny part. You remember the threat that Seamus Finnegan made to you and Harry for giving him an arse whooping?"

Ron nodded playing dumb. "Well…that's a big bitch." Ron shook his head before responding again.

"The bastard. How are you feeling?" he asked hoping that she was not affected in the least by what happened.

"Me? I feel fine actually, surprisingly. I was well over him."

"So you're telling me that Amanda cheated with the Irish bastard, Harry broke up with her, kissed you and you threw him back?" Now he was definitely not playing dumb.

Hermione signed, getting a little irritated. "It's more complex than that Ron. He just found out that his girlfriend of a year and a half was cheating on him with his best friend's ex. He wants to show her that she meant nothing to him and that he's moved on, now more than ever because Amanda is trying her damn hardest to get him back. Seeing as how I was the first female in sight he thought 'sure why not' and dove in. Yes I love him deeply but I refuse to throw my heart in the open to realize too late that he doesn't even love me and was just using me for his own revenge on his ex. I refuse to be the second woman."

Ron had his mouth open. "Woman are way too complicated for me. You feel way too many things at once." He said as he stood up and drained his now cold coffee in the sink before refilling.

Hermione rolled her eyes. "Ron if you were in my position you would probably feel the same way. Wait, I'm talking about you here, forget it."

He sniggered sarcastically. "Har har har. Not funny." There was a pecking sound on the window and they turned to see an owl with a very thick parchment tied to its leg. Ron opened the window and let the owl swoop in. Hermione squinted at the letter to hopefully see who it was from and her eyes flashed at the name.

Ron gulped and his eyes flew out of his head. "That's not from who I think it is, is it?"

Hermione nodded, her eyes no longer sweet or compassionate.

"I guess I'll just be headed out now. I promised Luna that we'll go tell the family and start planning, so," he bent down to kiss her cheek and apparated with a pop.

Hermione barely acknowledged Ron's kiss or the fact that he left, instead she was waiting for any sign that Harry had received his letter. Sure enough she heard thumping and an owl's squeaks. Harry appeared a few seconds later with burnt parchment and threw it in the trash. He then turned to the owl and began to speak to it like he would to another human.

"Tell your owner to never send me a letter again and to leave me the hell alone. I don't want to see you here again with a letter from her." The owl left and he sat down in Ron'd vacated chair in a huff.

Hermione picked up her cup to hide her smirk. "Still bugging you I see."

"She wont fucking leave me alone and it's pissing me off." She coughed trying to hide her laugh. She had no idea why she found this so funny, she just did.

He turned to her. "Are you laughing at me Hermione Ann Granger?"

She looked at him squarely in the eye barely keeping her laughter at bay. "And what would give you that impression Harry James Potter."

"Just the fact that the little coughing fit you had there sounded too much like a laugh and the smirk you ingeniously covered with your cup." His voice thick with sarcasm.

She looked surprised. How did he know? "I always said you should have been an Auror." And for that brief moment it felt like everything was right between them.

I don't know if I mentioned this before but I already had all of this that I'm posting written for a while. That's about to be over. It'll be like one more chapter before I have to actually type instead of just copying from what I already had. That means updates will take a little longer; for this reason and because I've started a sequel to my one-shot and I'm working on that at the same time. So please bear with me as it's almost TAKS time here in Texas and I have a lot of homework. Please review and I hope that all who read it liked it. Adios mi gente.
