I'm so sorry that this chapter took so long. The site won't let me login, so I'm getting someone else to do it for me (Thanks Chelsey! ) I hope you enjoy this chapter, and I hope it was worth the wait! Enjoy!
"Hermione, please let me in!" Harry shouted through the door.
"No! Go away!" Hermione shouted back.
"Hermione, please!"
Hermione then stood up from where she was sitting, and opened the door. When she emerged, Harry took a step back, noticing her mood. But, who could blame her? Hermione folded her arms across her chest.
"What?" She spat.
"Hermione, you have to let me explain" Harry said, desperately.
"What is there to explain, Harry? You kissed her. Go figure, she's beautiful! I should've known. Maybe I just wasn't good enough for you"
"Hermione, that's not it at all!"
"Then what is it!"
"Hermione, she kissed me!"
"And you let her! I would've expected this from any other boy, but not from you, Harry. If she wants you that bad, then she can have you. It's over"
Hermione stepped back into the cabin, but didn't close the door straight away.
"And by the way, your going to need to find a new camp instructor partner. I was fired. Maybe you should try asking Harmony?"
After that, she slammed the door. Leaving Harry, all alone, on their doorstep.
The Next Day
"How could I have been so stupid?" Hermione sobbed, while Ginny patted her sympathetically on the back.
"Your not stupid. You know how boys are. Harry was probably trying to impress his stupid friends, or something. He's the stupid one, not you. It's his loss"
At that moment, Parvati walked into the cabin with a plastic bag hanging from her wrist.
"Hey. How're you doing?" Parvati asked, joining them on the bed.
"Miserable. What's in the bag?" Hermione asked.
"I got you a surprise. It's the perfect breakup treat"
Parvati then pulled out a tub of Cookies 'n' Cream ice cream from the bag. Hermione's favorite. Hermione immediately grabbed it from her (along with the spoon Parvati provided) and started digging in.
"Feel better?" Parvati asked.
"Considering the fact that I'm still fired? Maybe a little"
"Are they going to make you go home?" Ginny asked.
"No. They said that it's too late into the summer. So they gave me cafeteria duty instead"
"So...you didn't steal the stuff?" Parvati asked.
"Of course not! Someone framed me!" Hermione said, before digging the spoon back into the tub of ice cream.
"What time do you start?" Ginny asked.
Hermione checked her watch, then groaned.
"Now" she said. "Well, I guess I'll see you guys later"
Hermione stood from the bed, and walked out of the cabin, but not before muttering "If I don't die first".
After Hermione had entered the cafeteria (mess hall) she walked over to the administrator.
"I'm here for cafeteria duty" Hermione told her.
"So your the trouble maker.." She stared down at the list of paper. "Hermione Granger?"
"That's me" Hermione sighed. "The trouble maker"
"Hmm...I was expecting someone more...rough looking" The lady said.
"Yeah, well, you can't always get what you want"
Hermione was already frustrated to begin with, and this lady wasn't making it any better.
"Here you go, trouble --"
"Would you please stop referring to me as trouble maker! It's bad enough that I didn't steal the stuff!"
"Yeah, that's what they all say"
Hermione huffed, took the stuff, then walked away.
'I can't believe this! Well, at least it can't get any worse' Hermione thought, as she dipped the mop into the bucket, and slopped it on the floor. But as she started to mop, Hermione felt a tug on the mop, and it wouldn't go any further.
"Need any help?"
'I stand corrected'
"What do you want, Harry?"
"I want to help you. Hermione, I know you didn't steal that stuff. Come on, let me help"
"Thanks, but no thanks. I can do it myself"
"Come on, Hermione. Talk to me"
"You really don't get it, do you? I told you Harry, I don't want to talk to you. You know what you did was wrong"
"Hermione, just let me ---"
"Goodbye, Harry"
Harry stood there for a moment. Then, without another word, he left. Hermione started to mop again, but felt another tug on the mop.
"I thought I told you to...what do you want?"
This time, it was Harmony.
"Oh, nothing. I just came to say thanks" Harmony said, in that sweet, innocent voice that Hermione loathed more than anything.
"For what?" Hermione spat.
"For finally breaking up with Harry. I knew you would come around sooner or later"
"Well, from what I saw the other day, you couldn't seem to wait for me to dump him before jumping all over him"
"Yeah, well, I thought that I'd seize the chance. He gave quite a fight, though. Kept bringing you up, at least" Harmony laughed. "Looks like they didn't have much trouble replacing you" Harmony added, starring down at the mop, and bucket full of water.
"Looks like you have water all over your shirt"
Harmony looked at Hermione like she was crazy. "No, I don't" Harmony said, starring down at her shirt.
But, by that time, Hermione had already grabbed the bucket of water, and splashed it all over Harmony.
"You were saying?"
Harmony scowled, then stormed out of the cafeteria. Hermione (feeling quite pleased with herself) then continued mopping the floor.
Later that night, Hermione lay in bed, still hearing what Harmony had said earlier that day.
'He gave quite a fight though. Kept bringing you up, at least'
Maybe Hermione was wrong about Harry after all. But, before long, she drifted into a peaceful sleep.
