Extraordinary Girl

Chapter 3: A lost chance

Disclaimer: Well thanks for reviewing all of my stories (keep going). P.S all the stuff I said about druggo-frog I never meant any of it so read his stuff because it is all really good. Oh yeah and by the way I don't own anything to do with HP just the plot and maybe a few new characters later on. Plz review this one.

It was a few weeks since Harry made the decision to be happy for Hermione and Ron and he was finding it extremely hard to keep up the act. He was finding it hard to see them together.

He didn't know what was wrong with him. Ron was his best friend. Did he really want to cause Ron any pain after he had worked so hard to get where he was now? No said the little voice in the back of his head. He knew that they were meant for each other but he still knew it was going to get harder and harder to see them together if he didn't do something with his life and stop wallowing in his own self pity because he knew it wouldn't get him anywhere. He decided to just be himself and find something or someone else to love.

He knew it would be hard but he would do it without letting anyone else know what was happening inside. So from that moment forward he put on the happy face and kept it that way. He left the dormitory a different person.

lllllllllllllllllllllll

He was just finishing dinner when Hedwig came down clutching a letter in her beak. He thought the handwriting was vaguely familiar. He just couldn't place it. This is what it said:

Harry,

Meet me in the forest near Hagrid's hut at midnight tonight. We need to talk.

Hermione

Harry had no idea what was going on so he decided to go down there just to see what she wanted. The next thing he knew it was midnight and he was walking down to the forest near Hagrid's hut.

"Hello is anyone there?" he asked quietly.

"Harry over here" said a voice.

"Where" he called quietly.

"Here just in front of you stupid" the voice said.

"Oh okay what do you want" said Harry moving to the spot where he was told to.

'We need to talk" said Hermione stepping out of the shadows and moving towards him.

"Yeah I gathered that from the note. What about?" he asked.

"Me and Ron" she said.

"What do you mean?" he asked.

"Well his mood is getting very strange. He's become more and more prone to sitting around not talking to anyone. Also every time I ask him what's wrong he says it's none of my business and walks off. I'm really worried that he might do something" she said anxiously.

"So what do you want me to do about it?" he asked.

"Well I thought seeing as you're his best friend, you could talk to him and see if he will tell you" she said.

"Look Mione if he doesn't tell you, his girlfriend, the one he loves more then anything else in the world, he isn't going to be telling me I don't think" he said.

"Well could you at least try for me?" she asked.

"Alright I guess so but you have to promise me you will go and make him tell you if he won't tell me okay" he said.

"Alright I promise" she said.

"Good now we had better get back before we get busted and put on detention" he said grinning.

"Yeah let's get out of here" she said.

lllllllllllllllllll

The next day Harry was wondering what he was going to say to Ron to find out what was wrong, when he ran into him, literally.

"Oh sorry Ron didn't see you there" said Harry bending down to help Ron pick up all the books he had dropped.

"Its alright I don't need help" said Ron.

"No it's alright I insist- hey what's this?" said Harry picking up a long slender object in a cover bound with dragons.

"Oh umm it's nothing it's just umm" he said finding nothing to say.

Harry opened the cover and pulled out a knife. It was a beautiful knife. There were two dragons set in the blade of the knife and two crystals at the bottom of the blade just above the handle.

"Ron what is this?" asked Harry although he thought he knew the answer.

"A knife" said Ron.

"Well duh you know what I mean" said Harry.

"Oh umm it's nothing" said Ron absentmindedly moving his hands to his wrist.

"Show me your wrists right now" said Harry.

Reluctantly Ron removed his jumper from his wrists and Harry saw them. There were three deep slits on his left wrist and four on his right.

"Ron why" asked Harry.

"I have my reasons, none of which you need to know" said Ron.

"Ron you know im going to find out anyway so why not tell me" said Harry.

"Good point" said Ron.

"Well it's because I can't deal with my past and what happened in it" he said.

"Want to spill" asked Harry.

"Okay well heres what happened" he said.

A/N: because I respect the person who this happened to I am not going to reveal anything. So please do not ask who it is or what happened.

"Jesus man" said Harry.

"That is really deep are you sure you are going to be okay?" Harry asked him.

"Yeah" said Ron.

"Before we go back to the common room I want you to promise me one thing" said Harry.

"Okay what is it?" said Ron.

"Promise me you won't cut again" said Harry.

"I can't guarantee that Harry but I'll try my best" said Ron.

"Promise?" asked Harry.

"Promise" said Ron.

"Good" said Harry.

With that he gave the knife and its cover back to Ron and they walked off towards the common room together.

The first thing Harry did when he go back to the common room was send a letter to Hermione. He knew Ron wouldn't be happy but she had a right to know Harry believed. This what he wrote:

Hermione,

We need to meet again same place same time. This is really important. You need to know this.

Harry.

All he could do now was go down and wait.
