42) Bitterness
"The plan will be put into action as soon as possible," said Ron. He was looking around at the two people who would be helping him to execute his plan. Krum sat across from him looking more steely than ever, and Pansy, who was absentmindedly playing with a lock of her hair. Ron rolled his eyes. "Is anyone listening?" he asked in exasperation. They all looked up at Ron.
"Yes, we heard you Weasely," said Pansy in an annoyed tone. Ron looked at Krum who nodded solemnly.
"Good," he said. Krum rose up.
"Fine, as long as Herm-o-ninny doesn't get 'urt in anyway," Krum said. Ron rolled his eyes again and watched Krum as he left the Hog's Head. Ron looked at Pansy and she smiled at him.
"You know Weasel, if this doesn't work, you can check me out," she said. Ron's eyes narrowed as he looked at her.
"You know Pansy, you are pretty, but I would like to go out with someone who is a little less dense than you are," he said. She stared at him coldly.
"Just watch your tongue. You're lucky that I'm helping you, you little rat. You're so pathetic that you have to do all of this just to get a girl who hasn't noticed you in the past seven years," she spat angrily. Ron's ears became red and he stood up.
"See you," he said. She didn't look at him and he left the pub.

"Have you seen Ron?" Hermione asked. Harry shrugged. It was a sunny Sunday afternoon, and they were sitting outside by the lake under the huge oak tree. Malfoy was lounging on the grass next to her, doing some homework.
"I haven't seen him. He borrowed the Marauders map, so I suppose that he went out," he said.
"Oh," she said. They were all doing their work, when two shadows came in front of them.
"So the rumors are true huh?" said Crabbe's voice. Draco looked up and he looked placidly at Crabbe and Goyle. They had grown to twice their size over the summer and they were easily taller than Draco.
"What rumors, Goyle?" Draco asked. Goyle looked at Hermione.
"You and the Mudblood," he said. Hermione flinched at the mention of the word and she looked away. Malfoy stood up.
"What did you say?" he said. A flicker of fear passed through his eyes and then he looked at Malfoy. His voice faltered.
"I…I called her a Mudblood!" he said. Draco sneered.
"Listen you fat tub of lard. The only reason that I put up with you two ass holes for the past six years is because of my father. If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't even glance at you. You and Crabbe are pathetic, and I hope you got the message. Don't ever come crawling back to me. Now apologize, or I'll hex you so bad even your mother won't recognize you," Malfoy said. People had begun to stare. Some were scared and others were laughing. Goyle nodded.
"I'll get you back for this Malfoy," Goyle said as he began retreating. Draco nodded.
"I'll wait for your brain to start working!" he said. Many people laughed and Hermione was on her feet. She was clutching Draco's arm and was looking at him with concerned eyes.
"Draco, please," she said. He looked around and finally sat back down.
"What the hell is his problem? Coming over here and acting like a complete…" Malfoy continued to mouth off about Crabbe and Goyle and Hermione looked at him.
"What if he tells your father, Draco?" Hermione asked quietly. Draco looked at her. He averted his gaze and then he sighed.
"I…I don't care. I don't care what father wants to do," he said. Harry was looking at them quietly. There was a palpable silence and then Ginny came along. She was wearing a yellow dress and her hair was pulled up in a ponytail. She sat next to Harry and she kissed him on the cheek. He smiled.
"Hey Harry," she said. "Hey Mione, Hey Draco," she looked around and she heard the 'heys' that they threw back at her. She looked at Hermione. "Is everything ok?" she asked. Harry shook his head.
"There was…um…a little disturbance, I'll tell you about it, come on," he said getting up. He picked up his books and he took Ginny's hand. "I'll see you guys later," he said to Draco and Hermione. She nodded and Harry and Ginny left. Ginny looked back at the two of them who were sitting uncertainly together. She looked at Harry.
"So what happened?" she asked. Harry sighed and he explained to her the whole scene. Ginny was aghast and she turned around to look at them. They appeared to be in serious conversation.
"So she's afraid that his father will find out. Not that he probably doesn't know already," Harry said. Ginny nodded and she sighed again.
"I feel so sorry for them. It's like they're always going through these things," they had finally reached the secluded spot that they were familiar with and they sat down, oblivious to everyone. Harry dropped his books and looked at Ginny.
"I planned on doing some homework, but now that I think about it, I would like to do something else…" he said with his voice trailing off.
"Hmm…maybe you would like an anatomy lesson?" Ginny asked mischievously. Harry smiled.
"Maybe I would…"

43) Make Up
Things were still a bit frigid between Hermione and Draco. Hermione was scared about his father, yet Draco acted as though he did not care. Hermione was eating dinner in the Great Hall and she was still a bit depressed. Ginny looked at Hermione.
"Hermione is everything ok?" she asked. Hermione looked up.
"Hmm?" She said. Ginny sighed.
"You've been so…quiet for the past few days," Ginny said. Hermione sighed and looked at Ginny.
"I know. I'm sorry guys, don't worry about me," she said. Ginny shook her head.
"Don't you have faith?"
Hermione looked up.
"Faith in what?" she asked.
"Faith in his word," she said. "From what you told me, over the summer, something really happened between you two. Can't you try and…trust him?" Ginny asked. Hermione looked up and a light dawned in her eyes.
"You…you're right Ginny," she said. Ginny smiled and went back to her pudding. Hermione got up and slung her bag on her shoulder. Time to have a chat with Malfoy.
^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*
"…and so, I'm sorry that I've been so…so distant for the past few days," Hermione said with great difficulty. Draco smiled and nodded.
"It's no problem, I understand that it must be difficult for you," he said. She smiled and she touched his face. "I'll be here," he said. He leaned over and kissed her on her lips. They continued on, unaware of what was going to hit them next.

Ron was sitting in the common room thinking about his plan. He sighed and looked around. The plan was perfect; nothing could go wrong with it. A small voice in the back of his head was screaming for him to stop, but he couldn't. He had to go on with the plan. He had to make Hermione feel the pain that she had caused him.

A/N: Yeah, Make Up was really short, I know, I Know. But don't worry, the holidays have finally arrived. I have to go to school on Thursday, but that's the last day. After that I will be able to brainstorm and stuff. So, I hope that you enjoyed this chapter. The next chap will be up soon. And PLEASE tell me your reactions to The Order of the Phoenix!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for the reactions to O.O.P that I've received already. And I think that Harry should have overcome his anger and opened Sirius's gift or whatever it was. I did cry. And I can't remember who asked me those things but in the next chapter I'll answer the rest. Laterz.

A Poem
There was nothing left for me,
And so I left the place
As soon as I could.
I was crying quietly, and I wondered what would happen.
I was walking along the shore,
And I saw a person alone.
Walking towards me.
His hands were tucked in his pockets
And his head was down.
He didn't notice me,
Until our heads touched.
And he smiled at me,
And held my hand.
And we walked together in the darkness.
