Ron fumbled his keys in the door. After a few misses her reached for his wand. "Alohamora!" The door clicked open. Ron stumbled in and threw his keys on the table. He walked over to the kitchen and pulled a bottle of alcohol out of the cupboard. You are already drunk Ron, why drink more? His conscience practically screamed at him.
Ron ignored it and took a drink. His head began to throb. He slammed the bottle onto the counter and held his head.
I am so stupid! He walked over to the couch and threw himself onto it. The ceiling that he stared at began to spin. Ron felt nauseous and ran to the bath room.
When he was done he went to go lay back down on the couch. He passed the picture of Hermione. His heart sank. He grew even angrier with himself. She would never smile at him like she did in the picture ever again. He had screwed up big time.
A tear ran down Ron's cheek as he placed the picture into the drawer.
"Goodnight Hermione," He closed the drawer. "Where ever you are."
Another surge of nauseas-ness caught him and sent him running for the bathroom.
"Are you still mad at Ron?" Hermione asked as she cleaned her spoon.
"Of course I am." Harry ate some ice cream. "Why wouldn't I be mad?"
"I don't want you to beat him up though." Hermione scraped the ice cream off the side.
"Why?"
"Because I still have feeling for the guy and I care about him."
"Hermione, an hour ago you were crying over him."
Hermione looked down.
"Hermione you're confusing me, do you want to be mad or not? He cheated on you!"
"I hate being mad at him!"
Harry threw his spoon into the ice cream container. "Hermione! He slept with another woman! This bloke is a scum bag and you still have feeling for him. He cheated on you!"
"I understand all that but…" She started crying. "But I don't want to believe it."
"Believe it. There are better things out there. Just move on."
Hermione laid her head down on the seat cushion and cried.
"Hermione….Hermione." He gave a sigh and put his hand on her back.
"I hate thinking that he actually did it. We had such a good relationship."
"You're just in denial. I don't know what more I can say. Ron did a horrible thing and it is time for you two to break up."
Hermione covered her mouth.
"Oh come on Hermione. You won't go back to him will you?"
Hermione wouldn't look Harry in the eye.
"HE CHEATED ON YOU…MOVE ON HERMIONE! YOU DESERVE BETTER!" He shouted.
"You're right yet…ending it is so final."
"Being unfaithful is not fair to you."
This argument was driving Harry crazy. He loved Hermione and Ron was his best friend. He helped them get together and now he was helping them break up. Choosing sides was painful for him but he picked Hermione for her wellbeing and for the fact hat she was the victim.
"I don't want to talk about it right now. Let's just watch a movie."
"Great." Hermione sat up and wiped her eyes with the back of her hand.
Once Harry was calm and settled she put her head on his shoulder.
"Thank you Harry, for dealing with all my shit."
Harry laughed. "You're welcome."
There was a moment of silence and then Hermione picked up her head.
Harry instinctively looked at her. "What's up?"
"You have been so sweet to me…thanks again."
"What are friends for?" He smiled at her.
Hermione stared into his eyes.
Harry looked back into hers.
Hermione leaned in and began to kiss Harry. At first Harry was shocked but then gave in. he had only dreamed of kissing her and now he was, yet it wasn't the type of kiss he wanted. It felt wrong. The kiss became more passionate and then Harry pulled back.
"Hermione, this is wrong."
"Why?" She looked up and him with a confused look on her face.
"You are getting over a breakup with Ron. You are emotionally unstable right now. You need to go to sleep."
"No Harry….I want you."
Harry looked away. No matter how much he wanted it, he knew it was best for her. "No Hermione, you need your rest. You aren't thinking clearly. I will be here for you when ever you need me. I don't want to be your rebound guy. You obviously still love Ron."
She was still crying. "I love him but he doesn't love me!"
Harry turned to her. "Stay the night. You can sleep in my bed. I will take the couch. Tomorrow we will talk more about this."
Harry wiped her tears away with his thumbs.
"About Ron…"
"Yes."
"Stay with me Harry…I don't know what I would do without you."
Harry just smiled at her and held her as she cried.
A/N: Hmmm….interesting. So which way will she go? Will she go back to Ron…or will Harry accept her love? Only 2 chapters left! Thank you for the reviews…it is more then I thought I would get…well whatever. TTFN!
