Chapter three: arguments.



'I-I smell-,' Ron complained loudly at the breakfast table the next day,'- I had to clean out bed pans again! without magic!'

Harry smiled and put his arm around Hermione, flexing one of his muscles. Ginny noticed that straight away and stared at him, continuing to bite on her fork even after she ate all the food off. 'Ginny-,' Ron said, nudging her in the side,'- I dont think Harry likes being gawked at by another girl unless its his girlfriend.' Ginny slid the fork out of her mouth and started to consentrate on the rest of her meal as Harry grinned and kissed Hermione softly on the cheek.

Hermione looked up from her Arthimacy book and smiled. She set down her book and in a flash they were making out like there was no tomorrow.

Ron tried hard to think of something else as the two 'love birds' were doing what they were doing.

He reached over and took her book, noticing a piece of parchment inside with their assigned homework written neatly on it.

'Hermione?' Ron asked, please to see that Hermione broke off right away and turned to him, rather anxious to get back to Harry though.

'Erm..yes Ron?' Ron grinned and held up the book,' I need help with my homework..I dont understand it..' he said innocently as he watched Hermiones face break out into a huge grin. 'Oh! finally your doing your homework! what do you need help on?' she asked eagerly as she leaned over the table, pulling the book in the middle so they could both look at it. Just..er..I just dont understand it-' he glance over at Harry who was staring at him with his eyebrows narrowed,'- at all!' he said, and grinned as Hermione leaned closer to him.

She started straight away on explaining diffrent methods needed to complete the assignment, but all Ron could do was stare at her.

And it wasn't at her face he was staring at.

Harry noticed this straight away and yanked Hermione back quickly by the collar of her robes.

'OW!'she shreiked jumping back in surprise. She looked at Harry with a shocked expression on her face,' Why did you do that!?' she asked, massaging the red line that had developed around her neck from being pulled,' That hurt-,' she exclaimed,'really hurt.' Harry apologised quickly and gave a furiouse nod towards Ron,' HE was looking down your robes, why the hell didn't you stop him?'

Hermione crinkled her forehead and looked over at Ron, confused, 'Harry-,' she sighed rolling her eyes,' Ron wouldn't do that, would you Ron?' she said turning her eyes back to Harry,' Why would you blame Ron for something like that!? thats absurd!'

Harry glared at Ron than finished eating his breakfast in silence as Hermione went on with explaining their work to Ron.



~*Later that day*~



Hermione walked in between her friend and boyfriend, as they still wouldn't talk with each other, laughing carelessly as they walked down to their Care of Magical Creatures class. 'Oh come off it you two,' she said trying to mend their problem,' Harry you know Ron wouldn't do that, and he didn't! so just-' she stopped her self when Harry turned to her and glared, in a flash he was walking quickly ahead of them, not looking back.

Ron turned to Hermione to see sort of a confused and hurt look creeping upon her face.

'Harry..?' she called, jogging up to him,' Harry? what has gotten into you..I dont understand..' she trailed off as she looked up at Harry as he stopped and faced her angrily. 'You dont understand!?-' he let out a fake harsh laugh ,' What a lie! I know how you fancy Ron, so dont mind me, I'm just here for the ride after all, right!?' he said staring hard into her eyes.

Hermione didnt speak nor move as she looked into his eyes. His eyes never looked that cold, that mean since the last time she'd seen Malfoy call her something awful.

'RIGHT!?' he repeated than stomped off to Hagrid's hut, where he was waiting by a gate full of what looked like chickens, only with pig snouts and hooves.

'Alrigh' there Harry?' Hagrid greeted him as usual as Harry looked down glowering.

Hagrid raised his bushy eyebrows than turned his attention towards the rest of the class who were glancing curiously at the new creatures. 'Righ' then..' he said striding over to the gate,' Fer our lesson today we will be learnin' about the Kenouoves. They are tricky lil beasts' so yeh bes' be-' Hermione's thoughs wandered off as Hagrid started to explain about the Kenouoves care.

Why was Harry acting so mean? Why didn't he see that this was all just a big mistake? That Ron didn't like her like that at all?

She turned her attention back to Hagrid just as he was calling out partner names for this week ;' Hermione Granger, Draco Malfoy,' he said reading down his list.

Her eyes widened as she looked over to Harry for support. Harry glanced quickly at her than turned back to Hagrid when he said, ' Harry Potter, Ron Weasley,' Hagrid winked when he said that, thinking that he and Ron were the greatest of pals.

Harry kicked the dirt swiftly as everyone bustled over to their partners.

'Granger,' she turned around to see Draco standing beside her,' Looks like your stuck with me...won't this be fun?'

Hermione rolled her eyes and walked over to get one of the Kenouoves. As she reached the gate, a hand pulled her by the arm to the side of the cabin.

Hermione gasped and turned around to see Harry leading her around to the very back where no one could see them.

'Harry?' she said, wondering what he could possibly want now. Perhapes he wanted to apologise?

She leaned against the wall expecting him to bow on one knee, apologising for all he was worth, but instead she felt his grip on her arm getting tighter...and tighter.

'O-ow! Harry let go! this is starting to hurt!' she gasped as he leaned in close to her. 'Your going to stay with me,' he said in a dead whisper, his face so close to hers that she could feel his warm breath heat her face.

'S-stay with you?-' she said trying to wriggle her arm free,'- Wh-what do you mean? you think im going to leave you!?' she asked as she felt tears burn in her eyes and he gripped harder. 'I know you like Ron, that stupid red headed Weasley,' he spat as he looked her straight in the eye,' Don't leave me for that pathetic, low class loser, he's not worth it,' he whispered, as he ever so slowly let go of her arm,' If you leave me..you'll regret it..remember that,' he finished than turned to walk away.

Right as he turned the corner he ran smack into Draco. 'Taking some class time to do a little snogging are we?' he asked looking from Harry to Hermione,' I'm slowly failing because of you, come on and hurry up!' he said as Harry pushed past him.

Hermione looked down and lifted one of her wrists.

A small amount of blood slowly trickled down her arm as she stiffled a sob.

'Granger?' Draco asked as he stepped near to her,' What was Potter doing to you?'

Hermione dropped her wrist and wiped it on her robes,' N-nothing,' she said causualy as she walked with him to the gate,' nothing at all...' ~*~
