Back Fire

Harry jumped up with a start. He had fallen asleep while waiting for Ron to leave on his little date with the woman he loved! He checked his watch. Ron left half an hour ago. He would have to hurry if he wanted to catch them. He rushed out of their room, down the stairs and out the door. He didn't want the twins to follow him or ask him to do any more experiments.

Upon arriving at the Leaky Caldron, he could not help but notice how much fun Hermione seemed to be having. Did she like Ron better than him? How could Ron, his best friend, do this to him, knowing his feelings for Hermione! Harry was getting angrier the more he watched. He stood outside and felt like dying. She was laughing and not with him. She was smiling and not at him. She was happy but it was not he that was making her happy.

He could take it no longer. Why should he torture himself when he could be in his room or riding his broom? He hung his head down. "Because I want to be in there that's why." He whispered. It was a nice and clear October afternoon; he could do lots of things. He turned to leave, took one more glance over his shoulder at the happy pair and left dragging his feet the whole way.

Hermione was getting worried. Lavender was nowhere to be found. She hoped she was not lost. 'Silly Hermione.' She thought. 'How could anyone get lost on their way to the Leaky Caldron!' She busted out laughing a second time because Ron said some silly again. She turned her full attention to Ron and listened as he told more jokes about Harry. She loved Harry.

She stole a look at her watch and noticed that it was 12:50pm and still no Lavender. She was just about to get up and walk about when she noticed the beautiful girl heading their way. Hermione was about to wave to her when she saw her busted into tears and run from the seen.

"Oh no!" She said out loud. She jumped up and ran to the door calling for the girl, but she was gone.

"What was all that about?" asked Ron. "Was that Lavender?" he got up and meet Hermione half way to their table.

"Oh Ron!" she looked as if she was about to cry. "I have made such a mess of things!" she said almost hysterically. She collapsed into his arms and started to cry.

Ron stood there motionless. What could he do? He was not used to having girls through themselves into his arms and bust into tears.

"There, there." He said wanting desperately for her to stop crying. "What are you going on about anyway?" he asked hoping she would stop crying and talk instead.

She lifted up her head and was about to speak when she noticed Victor entering the Leaky Caldron's front door. He glanced about the room and his eyes landed right on Hermione and Ron in their, seem to be, loving embrace. He looked into her eyes as she stared back at him.

'Could this get any worse.' Hermione thought. 'Could this day get any worse?'

Pinku: Wow. Poor Hermione huh. Oh well so much for a smooth plan. Will Harry die from a broken heart, and will Victor beat Ron to a pulp! These and other questions will or might be answered in the next exciting chapter of "The Letter."
