Chapter Eight: The day they met
Harry turned around to Alex. It was visible that she had been crying. Her black makeup was smeared across her cheeks and her blue eyes were red and puffy. "I really didn't mean to…you know that right? I never meant to do anything that would hurt you"
"Yeah…come here babe" Harry Said opening his arms and embracing her. He missed the way she felt in his arms and the way she smelled. He remembered the day they first met.
FLASH BACK
Harry was sitting in the Gryffindor common room. 6th year was going by so fast. He looked at the clock over the fire place. 3:00 AM. The fire was diminishing and the common room was empty. It had been empty since about 1:00 when the last three first years had finished studying and went to bed. Harry sat by himself in this huge room in his favorite and the softest chair in the room.
Harry couldn't sleep...it wasn't because he wasn't tired it was because he couldn't make himself sleep anymore. He was afraid of have the recurring dream he had had for a little over a month now. It was a dream that happened in the future…in his seventh year he suspected. One of the final battle except good didn't win. Voldermort had defeated Harry and he was no longer alive. Voldermorts next target was Dumbledore, he also succeeded in this plan. He had taken Hermione to be his slave and had raped her whenever he felt like it or when she told him he was scum. Ginny was driven to the dark side and Ron was in supposed to be in hiding and was believed dead.
Harry heard footsteps, they were coming from the girls dormitory so he expected them to belong to Hermione, but they weren't hers. They were another girls. A girl with blonde hair that faded into black. She had piercing blue eyes that had little to no tired look to them. Her skin was so pale some would call it ghost white. She was wearing a short black spaghetti strapped shirt that showed a little of her stomach. Across her chest were the words rock star in rhinestones and underneath it was a blue guitar. Her jammi pants were black with the same blue guitar.
"So the famous Harry Potter couldn't sleep either" She said in a harsh tone drinking some of the bottle in her hand. She walked over to the couch and sat down putting the bottle in front of her facing Harry. Harry couldn't stand the curiosity to look at it so he did. starbucks coffee frappuccino vanilla mocha.
"I can sleep I just chose not to" Harry answered
"Why… don't you need beauty sleep for your next encounter with Voldermort?" Alex snarled
"You should shut the hell up. you have no idea what its like to be face to face with Voldermort!"
END OF FLASH BACK
Harry started uncontrollably laughing.
"What?" Alex asked
"I have to know something…. How did his lips break you fall?" Harry laughed
"Well they were throwing a thing I think they called it a "football" and he ran straight into me and knocked me down. He was on top of me and I told him to get off of me and he just stared into my eyes….the next thing I knew he had started kissing me. I think he bet his buddies he could snoggle with me and make you jealous." She laughed sitting on his knee and kissed him lightly on the cheek "But the only person I ever want to snoggle with is you"
"yeah..same here" Harry said after thinking for about ½ a second. Hermione loved Ryan. He had heard it with his own ears. Hermione Granger was taken. "I love you Alexandrea"
"I love you too Harry" Alex replied before laying her head on he chest
" I love you more Harry, to bad you don't know it." Harry had no idea who was around the corner of the Astronomy tower as He said this. A certain girl who always had her eyes on the Boy who lived, even before she met him. She had loved him in the books she had read. It wasn't some celebrity crush… It was destiny. She was meant to be with Harry Potter, not the boy who lived but the Harry only few knew. A single tear fell down her cheek.
Hermione walked out of the hallway and down the stairs. She walked down three flights of stairs before breaking down into heavy tearing. She ran down the next two sets of stairs making her may through a hall of popular kids on the second floor. She finally made her way down to the first floor when she saw this kid no older then eleven sitting on the steps reading the book until this year only she had checked out. She walked over to him and sat down.
"Hey" Hermione sighed
"Hi" He muttered
"Im Hermione Granger" she introduced herself
"Jake Williams" He answered "I already knew who you are…your head girl"
"Yeah but titles aren't important Jake…Just the people inside" Hermione sighed again. Her tears had stopped and she wiped her eyes
"I just heard pretty much the same thing the other day" Jake replied
"Yeah…from who?" Hermione asked
"No one important…" Jake answered
"So I see your reading Hogwarts: A History, You like it?" Hermione interrogated
"Yeah Hogwarts is so wonderful If I weren't here I would think that it wasn't possible" Jake stated
"That's the same way I feel" Hermione identified
"So you're the other person who checks it out" Jake stated
"yeah" Hermione responded "Jake can you keep secrets?"
"yeah….why?" Jake answered
"I have the biggest secret about me and its killing me…I have never told ANYONE. If I told you would you keep it?" Hermione asked sweetly
"Why me?" Jake asked
"I believe your honest and I have only been wrong twice in my life…or at least that I can remember" Hermione answered
"Ok but afterwards you have to tell me the two things" Jake negotiated
"Deal" Hermione shook his hand and whispered in his ear "I love Harry Potter"
"doesn't every girl in the school?" Jake asked
"Not the true one…they love the boy who lived…not the boy who wished he hadn't" Hermione answered
"Ok tell me the two things"
"One was that I never believed in magic…I thought it was a fairy tale everyone told there kids…and Two was I told Ryan that I loved him…it was to soon…I mean I love him but….Im kinda confused" Hermione stated
Hermione turned around as someone poked her in the back . His eyes were teared and he had a small box in his hands. He handed it to her and whispered in her ear " Forever is really short these days. I'll love you till the end Hermione Elizabeth Granger, the hard thing Is that I love a person who may never feel the same" before he left Hermione could make any word come out of her mouth.
"Let me guess…That was Ryan" Jake stated
"mmmhmm" Hermione started to cry again. Harry was right she had changed. she was not only talking about people behind there back but also crying over guys.
Hermione got up and started walking. She didn't know where she was going but she had to go somewhere and think. She walked up a flight of stairs to her dorm room she muttered the password " Ryan and Hermione forever and a day" she walked in and sat on her bed. She opened the little box. A black crystal cut diamond in the middle of a pink diamond heart. It was a promise ring, and she didn't know if she could promise him. Could she? She loved him didn't she? didn't she say she did? didn't Harry say he loved Alex?
She needed to talk to him. She was pretty sure she had heard his door open about five minutes ago. She went to the door between there rooms and opened it. Inside was halfway naked Harry under completely naked Alex " YEAH" Hermione screamed " AND YOU SAY IVE CHANGED YOUR FUCKING GIRLS WHO BET DRACO THAT HE WASN'T BETTER IN BED THEN YOU. WHAT SHE TOLD THAT BOI WAS A COVER CAUSE HE WAS GONNA TELL YOU. GOOD THING HE DIDN'T HEAR THE WHOLE CONVERSATION RIGHT ALEX!"
Hermione ran through the halls as fast as she could, until she ran right smack into someone. She fell on top of them as they hit the floor
"Hermione, Whats wrong" he asked moving the hair out of her eyes.
"It's my life" Hermione cried not noticing she was still on top of him "I never know what I've got till its gone….wait how did you know my name?"
A.N: Sorry this chapter was pretty stupid in my opinion and I tried about five times to make it more interesting but I didn't want to put too much in this chapter. A bunch of people have been asking me to
make Harry and Hermione get together faster but sorry I cant do that. It would ruin the whole story plot.
No song I didn't feel motivated enough. I hate my filler chapters.
