Common Room Commotion
Ginny was staring at Harry from across the room. She'd been doing that a lot lately. She always looked away when he looked up, but what she didn't realize was that he was doing the exact same thing as her.
Harry sighed. Ron was explaining the Herbology lesson to Hermione. He turned back to staring at Ginny. Gosh, she was beautiful. Her eyes looked red and puffy as if she had been crying. Harry wondered what it had been about. All the same, he wished he could hold and comfort her and tell her everything would be alright because he loved her and would always be there. But, no matter, according to Hermione, Ginny had given up on him ages ago. He'd realized too late that everything he wanted was right in front of him.
"Stop Ron! That's awful! Quit saying things like that."
"Well, if it bothers you than don't listen…."
"Don't listen! No, you listen-."
"Forget it Hermione! I'm going down to the Quidditch pitch. I don't have to listen to you!" And with that, Ron stormed out of the common room.
Hermione's eyes were welling with tears. She slammed her books shut and attempted to go upstairs before she broke down completely.
"Hermione, wait!"
It was Harry. "Let's go for a walk, okay?" Slowly, Hermione nodded in agreement.
