Chap. 3 A Big Surprise and A Big Mess

Hermione was eating breakfast with Ron and Harry in the Great Hall. She was having a meat lovers omelet along with some toast, bacon and pumpkin juice.

The nights "meeting" was still going though her mind.

Flashback

They had just got out of the door when thy heard filch coming. "We have to split up to get back" he told her. "No, you'll get caught!" She yelled at him. "Just go!" he yelled back at her. And with that they split and she ran back to the common room.

End flashback

She was just about to start eating when Harry asked "Where were you and my cloak last night?" "I had to get potions ingredients from snapes stash," She lied quickly.

"Oh, well, good you can help Ron and me then. Ya know, Ron was up all night looking for you. Kept saying how worried he was about you." Harry said in a mock voice.

"Did not!" Ron said quickly as his ears began to turn red.

"Oh, so you don't care about me?" Hermione said with a sad puppy dog look on her face. "I didn't say that." Said Ron as soon as he saw the puppy dog look she was giving him.

"Do have something to tell me Ronald?" She only asked him this when his ears turned red or when she wanted to get something out of him.

"I… I… Hermione I… love you." He stammered, his eras getting redder with every second.

Hermione had a look of sorrow and shock on her face, she hadn't expected this.

What was she going to do? She was just starting to like her admirer and then Ron says he loves her.

She didn't want to break his hart, but she had to. "Ron, that's very sweet of you, but I already have a boyfriend. I'm so sorry." She added in after a moment and seeing the look of misery on his face.

Then she got up and ran out of the hall and started sobbing.

Professor McGonagall found her sitting there with her face buried in her hands, crying her hart out. "Whatever is the matter Ms. Granger?" asked a very curious McGonagall.

"I… (Sniff) Don't know (sniff) …" stammered Hermione. "Don't know what dear?"

"I don't know what to do! Ron loves me and I have a secret admirer I've been seeing that I'm starting to like!" Hermione practically yelled this at her favorite professor and then started to sob uncontrollably.

"Oh, I'm so very sorry dear. If you want to you may take a day off from classes. Hope you feel better dear." Professor McGonagall told her and then strode off to the Great Hall.

Hermione decided to take the offer figuring that she would miss potions and have some time to think about the mess she was now in.

I don't always go by the books. Just letting you know. Tell me what you think! Thanks!
