Chapter 2

What can I say about my life?

Harry and Hermione watched as April played with the other children in the playground. Harry sipped his lemonade. Hermione had made some to loosen their thirst.

"So, how's Hogwarts," asked Hermione.

"Oh, it's fine, really, how, about you, er… how's this school going for you," asked Harry.

"Oh, it's okay, treating me well, er……okay, that's enough, I can't hide it anymore. What do you know about Ron? He should have been back by now," said Hermione with her worried voice.

" I knew this day would come…. And I hated it. Okay, well, I guess I have to tell you anyways. The reason why Ron isn't here is because, he took another five months of learning from old man Bagman," Harry laughed. "Get it? Old man Bagman, heh, you don't get it do you?"

Hermione stared at Harry sadly and said

"How could he do this to me? FIVE MONTHS!"

"What's there to worry about, Hermione, he'll come back," said Harry, taking another sip from his glass of lemonade.

"Well, I miss him so much! I mean, I like him Harry," said Hermione.

"The man doesn't like you, maybe you should just go on and find another man," said Harry.

"It's just that I thought he liked me, more as a friend," said Hermione sadly. "He did get pretty angry at Viktor Krum, didn't he? I thought that was sign, I thought he was jealous of him."

"Actually he was, no, no, wait he did, no, no, you know what? I'm very confused about Ron's feelings. The point is that even if he liked you, he wouldn't admit it in a thousand years. Besides, I think it's okay if he went learning for four years from Bagman. Kinda gives him time to think," said Harry.

"Well, he had a lot of time to think," said Hermione. "You know what I think? I think that it is time I crave for somebody else and forget about him!"

Hermione took the jug of lemonade roughly and stomped her way to the kitchen. Harry lay there motionless.

"Harry, mate, this is gonna be bad," said Harry.
