'Perfect' Adriana thought as she listened to the arguing boys in the boys dormitory. Living with muggles for most of her life since the Death Eaters didn't want her until she was older, she learned some muggle tricks. Putting glass cups to doors did help listening quite a bit. She sat down on a chair in the common room and pretended to be reading a book. Ron came in shortly after.
"I hope you're happy." He said, an angry tone in his voice. He glared at her and paced across the common room. Adriana realized it was because he had no other place to go. Harry was in the boy's dormitory, and Ron was obviously avoiding him, and he couldn't go into the girl's dormitories. It was after curfew, so he couldn't leave Gryffindor Tower either.
Adriana put an innocent tone in her voice as she said, "You sound mad at me. Did I do something? You're one of my only friends here, I don't want to lose you." She faked a worried look. This seemed to make Ron a little less angry.
"Well, um, how can I explain it without telling you too much?" Ron said, sitting down on the chair next to her.
"You can tell me anything." Adriana said, touching his arm. "I'll always listen." She fluttered her eyelashes at him. Ron blushed immediately, and pulled his arm away.
"I can't do this! I mean, I like you and all, but, he'll kill me!" Ron whispered. He glanced at the dormitory, checking to see if Harry was still in there. "But maybe if no one knows or finds out…" He moved a little closer. Adriana stood up, and squished her small body into the small space that was left of Ron's chair.
"So what were you saying?" She asked, adjusting herself to get as comfortable as she could in the chair that was made for one person.
Ron slowly put his arm around her. "It doesn't matter, besides, if I told you, it would ruin this moment. I don't want that to happen." He smiled as she put her head on his shoulder.
"Bloody bastard!" A voice from the boy's dormitory shouted. "Get the hell away from her!" Ron and Adriana looked up to see Harry standing I in front of the closed door to the boy's dormitory. His arm out, wand in hand.
"Excuse me for one moment, please." Ron said coolly to Adriana. He got up, pulled out his wand, and waited for Harry to come down. He shouldn't have waited though.
"Petrificus Totalus!" Harry said, pointing his wand at Ron. Immediately, Ron's arms and legs pulled together, and he fell backward. "Now you'll pay." Harry said, coming down, wand still pointed at the frozen Ron.
Adriana watched, her eyes shining. This was what she had wanted. She walked over to Harry, and pinched his arm, gently. "Thank you for saving me. He told me that he would curse me if I didn't sit with him on that tiny chair. And I didn't know any counter curses yet, so I had to. If you hadn't come, he'd probably have forced me to kiss him by now. Thank you so much, how can I repay you?" She said, reaching for his other arm.
Harry looked at Ron. "How could you? You knew I liked her, and instead of just making rules that neither of us could be with her, you went and tried to win her unfairly. Well I've got news for you, she picked me, and if you come near us again, I'll curse you worse than this!" He threatened.
Hermione watched the whole thing. From when Adriana was flirting with Ron, until now. She had been right about Adriana, but now it seemed too late to save Harry. Now was not the time anyway. She would have to wait for Ron and Harry to be friends again, so Ron could tell Harry his story as a friend, not as a guy trying to steal another guy's girlfriend. She knew it would be hard to do, but she'd get them together if it was the last thing she did.
