Contemplating Confusion

by ©SimbiAni™ and SweetieK

Summary: A joint effort between two dream-dazed fans, one who can't get enough sappiness, and one who has a tendency to surround herself in drama. In this episode of our adventures, Hermione realizes she has a crush on both Ron and Harry. How will she come to terms with this new issue, and who will she choose? No specific year, and complete AU.

Warnings: This fic is not to be taken seriously. It is the result of a non-HP-writing fan (well, who admittedly dreams HP though) reluctantly bribed into RP-ing HP with a drama princess. Although this has been edited to fic form (meaning, minus all the zany chat inbetween each other's posts), you must still expect to encounter lots of randomness, sillyness, grammatical errors, repetitiveness, loss of sense of time, probly OoC-ness too, and extreme lack of plot. Once more, this fic is here purely for your amusement. You have been warned. Enjoy! Hopefully it brings a smile to your face, hehehe...

Chapter Thirteen:

Ain't Nothing But a Heartache

Hermione heard a noise, but ignored it, even though she knew Harry had heard it, too. Someone was coming down the steps.

Ron walked into the common room, but went right past them.

Harry saw it was Ron from the corner of his eye, and reluctantly pulled away from 'Mione.

"Oh don't stop on my account," Ron said airily. "I'd have to be real dumb to not have expected that..."

Hermione looked as if her eyes were about to go red! She had the sudden urge to hex him. "Looks like Malfoy has competition for being the most childish, annoying, rudest, and most evil person in the entire Wizarding World. That's one more Death Eater, I guess."

Harry looked at her in shock. "'Mione! No reason to get so- so mean! What is with the insults?"

She turned to him, shocked herself. "Harry! He's been being like this ever since I told him it wasn't him that I loved! Do you need me to remind you certain things he said about me before that?" she asked, now having turned to Ron, glaring.

Harry squinted in confusion. "He certainly never suggested you'd turn into an evil witch, as you are doing to him. Can't we all just get along?" Harry threw his hands up in desperation.

Hermione suddenly had her wand out. Somehow, she had recorded everytime he'd ever insulted her, from the first day he met her, with a great spell she had known, all the way up until this very moment, and now, she played the entire thing. Which took a VERY long time. Most of them included insults about her being stubborn, a know-it-all, and a few other things that were a lot more mean. She cut them off right at the last insult.

Harry was giggling, and Ron was reviewing each thing.

"Well, you gotta admit, at least most of those are true, and since when is being called a stubborn know-it-all mean?" he chuckled.

Harry tried to be understanding. "'Mione, I never knew you were that sensitive!"

Ron laughed out loud. "Sensitive? I bet she has a file for Malfoy's too!"

"Sod off, Weasley," she snarled, her eyes nearly slits. There was never EVER any time called him by his last name or said 'sod off', but this wasn't a time to try her patience.

Harry touched her arm. "Hermione.. really? What's going on?"

Ron sat down and looked up at her expectantly.

"What's wrong?" she repeated, laughing bitterly. "What's wrong is Ron's turned into a jerk just because I don't feel the same way he feels for me." she replied, smirking. She was really getting sick of him. He really was turning into Draco Malfoy! At least Malfoy knew when he was beat and he shut up!

Ron scowled. "That's not it all Hermione. I think the problem is just in the way you're letting your feelings be known. You don't have to be all angry. I may be a bit hurt 'cuz you dismissed me so easily- if it was the other way around, I certainly wouldn't have done what you did! But you've done nothing but growl at me like an injured tiger!"

RP Disclaimer: Hermione is all SweetieK. Harry and Ron though, are SimbiAni's sappy expressions. Other chars' usage are varied, depending on whose RP turn it was, hehe.

Movie/Book Disclaimer: JKR and WB own the books and movies. I make no money off this zany sappiness, none at all. Honestly.
