Prologue (Part II)

Ron and Harry went downstairs to wait in the Head Boy's & Girl's common room. Ron looked at his watch impatiently.

"What the bloody hell is taking her so long?" he said.

"I dunno…you know girls. They take forever to get ready." Harry replied.

"No we don't!" barked Hermione. She had finally come downstairs, freshly showered and dressed. Harry went over to give her a hug and a kiss.

"Finally! I'm starving. Let's go, Mione." said Ron. The trio went down to the Great Hall, where there were hardly any students. When Hermione pointed this out Ron replied sarcastically,

"Oh yeah, Mione. The whole school gets up at 8 in the morning to come and eat breakfast on a Saturday." Harry laughed.

"I meant, well, you know, oh forget it." she muttered. They sat down at their usual spots and soon silverware and delicious food appeared right before them. The three friends helped themselves to as much bacon, toast, and eggs that they wanted.

"So, we goin to Hogsmeade today?" Ron asked through a mouthful of eggs.

"I guess so. We don't have any Quidditch today do we?" Harry asked.

"Nope. I'm giving the whole team a break. We deserve one, after that match against Slytherin. It was brutal." Ron replied.

"But you guys won." pointed out Hermione. Ron rolled his eyes while Harry reminded her,

"Mione, half of the team is still sore from having so many Bludgers hitting them." Hermione nodded, stating that she remembered now.

"Alright, I'm done. I'm gonna go to the library. Harry, would you like to join me?" Hermione asked sweetly.

"To the library? Aw Mione, it's Saturday! Give us a break with the whole homework thing!" Harry whined.

"Harry. You prat, that's her way of saying 'Let's go make out.'" Ron said, laughing.

"Oh. Well why didn't you just say so?" he said. Shaking her head, Hermione left with Harry, leaving Ron alone to finish eating.

After intense making out, Hermione went to her room to get ready to go to Hogsmeade. Harry left her a note to meet her at a small café in Hogsmeade, called the Cozy Cup, stating he had a surprise for her. Slightly confused, she left Hogwarts by herself.

Harry sat in the Cozy Cup, anxiously waiting for Hermione. A waitress came by asked if he wanted anything but Harry just smiled politely and shook his head no. He looked outside, seeing a cloudy sky but no Hermione. Then he felt a tap on his shoulder.

"Hermione!" he said, turning around.

But it was not her.

Harry stared at Cho Chang, his former girlfriend. Annoyed, he asked,

"Cho what are you doing here?"

"I came to see you." she replied sweetly.

"Why?" he asked confused.

"Because of this!" she said. She grabbed Harry by the waist and planted her lips on his lips. Harry, surprised, did not know how to react to this and was frozen for a second.

A second too long.

Harry heard a small gasp. Coming to his senses he pushed Cho off himself. Harry was ready to yell at Cho but stopped when he saw Hermione standing in the doorway. She stared at him, eyes filled with tears.

"Hermione, it's not what it looks like…" he started. But Hermione did not want to hear him. Giving him one last look, she ran out the café.

"Hermione!" he shouted. Giving Cho a very dirty look, he ran out after her.

"I still love you!" Cho yelled after him.

"Hermione! Hermione wait!" Harry yelled. He could see Hermione running ahead. Soon he caught up to her.

"What do you want Harry?" she asked, her voice cold and harsh.

"That, that wasn't what it looked like..." he said weakly.

"Really? Then what was it Harry? She accidentally tripped and landed on your lips?" she yelled.

"Hermione! Calm down!"

"Don't tell me to calm down, dammit!"

Above them, there was soft thunder.

"I was waiting for you and she came out of nowhere and just kissed me!" Harry said, angrily.

"Oh is that what it is? You just stood there, not even trying to stop her!"

"I was too surpri-…"

"Forget it. I don't wanna hear your stupid excuses. How could you do this to me?"

"What? No! She came out of…"

"I can't believeI loved you." she said softly. 'Wait what did she say?' Harry thought.

"I must have been crazy."

"Don't say that, Mione." Hermione looked into those emerald eyes, the ones she always thought she could trust, the ones that belonged tothe boy she loved. Trying her best not to cry, she whispered,

"Harry, you hurt me. You hurt me bad."

"So, so what are you saying?" he asked shakily.

"I don't think we should see each other anymore." Hermione said.

"What? No, Mione. I'm sorry…please don't do this to me." he begged.

Shaking her head she looked up at him and Harry could see tears streaming down her face.

"Good-bye Harry Potter." With those final words, she ran back towards Hogwarts. 'How did this happen?' Harry asked himself silently. He felt like his heart was being ripped out of his chest. Suddenly, he felt a rain drop on his head. He looked up to see that it was starting to rain. Feeling the rain mix with the tears running down his face, he pulled out a small box from his pocket. Harry opened the box and saw a shiny diamond staring back up at him.

'I love you Hermione. I always have and always will. Please forgive me.'

Yeah, I couldn't really think of a good way to end it but there you go. That's it for the prologue. Review please.
