A/N: Hey everybody, thanks for the reviews! I'm so glad you like my story! So keep on readin' and reviewin'. :-)
Disclaimer: I don't own the characters or anything else dealing with Harry Potter except characters I create!
A/N: I'll occasionally be going back and forth from Hermione's to Ron's point of view. Okay read on!
From chapter one: When they got on the train, Harry, Hermione, and Ginny went down the hall to find an empty compartment while Ron went to find Lavender.
"Here's an empty compartment. Let's go in there." Said Ginny. Harry and Hermione followed her in and Harry put everyone's luggage up on the luggage rack. "Where is Ron going?" Ginny asked. "Oh, he-erm-had to go find Lavender." At this Hermione let out a silent little "hmpf." "What's wrong Hermione? You've been awfully quiet today." Ginny asked, a little concerned. "Oh..it's nothing, really. Well I should probably be doing Head Girl duties now, see you guys later." "Okay, see ya soon." Could this day get any worse?
Meanwhile...
"Hey, Lavender." Ron said quietly. "Oh Ronnie! I missed you so much! How are you?" Oh, I'm pretty good, yeah...how about you?" "I'm great! Oh Ronnie you're so adorable. I wish we started dating sooner!" She batted her eyes in a flirty fashion. "Um, yeah, I suppose..." Ron said uneasily, shifting his weight. The next thing he knew, Lavender had closed her lips on Ron's and her hand was ruffling through her hair. She was pressed up against him so hard a toothpick wouldn't stand a chance between them. What the bloody hell is she doing? Girls can be so strange! And I'm in love with Hermione! Oh well, it might be last kiss I get in a while so might as well make the most of it. Sorry Mione. And Ron wrapped his arms around her lower back, occasionally going a bit lower. I'm sure Hermione is a less sloppy and a better kisser than this. Oh what am I doing?! I have to stop this! I'm supposed to be breaking up with her not snogging her!
But it was too late. Ron and Lavender were standing in the middle of the hallway, the very same end of the hallway in which Hermione had to walk through. She saw them right before Ron broke away from Lavender. She saw them making out, right there in front of her. She saw the lusty look on Lavender's face but turned around so fast that she didn't see the alarmed and ashamed look on Ron's face. He was ashamed that he let Lavender do that. "Hermione, wait!" He called out. But she wasn't turning around. She left him staring after her, dumbstruck at what had just happened. Then he said goodbye to Lavender and went to find Harry and Ginny. Merlin's beard! I'm really good at screwing things up. Well I guess I shouldn't break up with Lavender yet, after that uncalled for snog session. I am such an idiot!
Back to Hermione...
What in the world is he playing at? I can't believe this. This has been the worst day of my life. Why do I have to be in love with Ron Weasley? He is such an idiot. Hermione was sobbing almost uncontrollably. And to make matters worse, she met the worst three people to cheer up the situation onthe way back to her compartment."What's this? The mudblood's crying is she? Wow, I didn't know the awful things had feelings!" Said Malfoy to a chorus of laughter from him and his two thuggish cronies, Crabbe and Goyle. "Shut up Malfoy!" She yelled. Then she grabbed the arm of his robes with both hands and forcefully flung him to the ground, where he lay whimpering. WHY CAN'T THIS DAY JUST END?!
Hermione spent the rest of the train ride locked in the toilets. She got off the train as soon as possible and made a point to avoid Ron at all costs. She didn't talk to any of her friends that night, skipped dinner, and went up to bed early, crying her eyes out but managed to close her bed hangings and fall asleep before Lavender or anyone else got there.
At the start of term feast...
Ginny, Ron, and Harry rode up to the castle in a Thestral drawn buggy with Neville and Luna. They didn't really talk much, it was pouring outside and they were all tired and hungry.
Ron felt miserable at the feast. He only half heard what Dumbledore was saying. Some stuff about no one being allowed in the Forest, a list of things that are forbidden from the school was hanging on Filch's office door, his usual little joke, and the announcement of the new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher. But none of it really mattered to him at that time. All he could think about was Hermione, and it was driving him mad. He ate most of his food half-heartedly, which is unusual for Ron. "Oh Ronnie, isn't this lovely? Ronnie?" "Huh? What? Oh, yeah...ya know what Lavender, I think I'm gonna head up to bed now...See ya tomorrow..."And with that, he got up and walked out of the Great Hall. "What, I don't even get a goodnight kiss now? Hmpf."
Ron got up to his bed thinking, how can today be any worse? Oh yeah, tomorrow probably will be. What with Hermione in all my classes and all. And he fell fast asleep as soon as he hit the pillow, fully dressed.
A/N: Hey! I hope you liked chappie 2. It's kinda sad, I know, but it will all work out in the end! Now it's time to REVIEW! So what are you waiting for? ;-)
