Girl Help
Chapter 2: The Date
The streets were crowded as Harry, Hermione, Ron and Parvati got out of the carriage.
"See you two later!" Ron called as he and Parvati walked off together, Ron beaming. Hermione waved to him, and winked. He blushed a beet red. She smiled and turned to Harry.
"You think he'll be okay?" She asked, knocking him out a stare. He smiled awkwardly.
"Yeah. Ron's nervous, but I think he can make it."
"So, where are we going to go?"
Harry stared at her. Where were they supposed to go?
"Umm, well--" He was interrupted when Dean and Seamus walked up to the two. (Cryst: alayneni, this is your idea! I'm using it, hope you don't mind.)
"Hey Harry. Hey Hermione." Dean said, his eyes sweeping over her figure. Harry shivered. It was really noticeable of how Hermione had changed. Her sweater was a bit snug on her, and her jeans were like a second skin on her. Seamus' eyes twinkled with recognition as he thumped Dean on the back.
"Checking 'ole 'Mione out, eh buddy?" Hermione flushed and turned her head. Harry glared a bit.
"Who couldn't miss that? Oh, sorry, 'Mione." Dean apologized. "It's just.. you know..."
"She grew up!" Seamus said, flinging an arm around her neck, as Dean covered her other side.
"Come on, Seamus. Let's show the lady around." Dean said jokingly.
"Guys, Harry.." Hermione said, looking over her shoulder.
"Come on, mate!" Dean called back with a wave. Harry shook his head.
"I'll stay here, thanks." He said, turning into Honeydukes. He turned quickly, just missing the hurt look on Hermione's face.
Hermione turned to Dean. "I think we should go get Harry." She voiced.
"Hermione! Relax. Have a good time. I'm sure Harry's okay..."
--
The three sat down in (1) Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlor. Dean got a banana split, Seamus got a sundae, and Hermione had a chocolate chip mint cone. A gasp was heard as Hermione looked up.
"Ginny!" Hermione said, jumping up and hugging the girl, oblivious to Dean and Seamus 'enjoying the view' they had.
"Hermione, it's nice to see you." She stressed, pulling the girl away from the table.
"Ginny, what?"
"Hermione! What are you doing? Sitting there with the both of them." Ginny said, suspiciously.
"Ginny, they dragged me in here, away from Harry. I don't even know where he is right now. And they keep checking me out!" She exclaimed, turning and point at them, as they whispered amongst each other.
"Well, come on. We can go look for Harry." Ginny smiled slyly. She knew exactly where Harry was. Did she have to tell Hermione? No..(2)
"I'll go check out the Quidditch shop." Hermione said.
"Alright. Look, I'm looking at the Three Broomsticks, okay? I'll find you if I see him." Ginny said, pushing Hermione out the door, and throwing an excuse to Dean and Seamus.
--
Ginny smiled as she strolled into the Three Broomsticks, as she spotted Harry drinking a butterbeer. She walked over, and took a bottle, corked it open and taking a swig.
"You okay?" She asked him, putting a hand on his shoulder. (Cryst: Yes, she's doing what you think she is. Hitting on the-Boy-in-Distress)
"Fine. Just angry at Dean and Seamus." Ginny slid over next to him, and smiled softly.
"It's alright, Harry. Although Hermione looked like she was having a good time..." Ginny thought.(3) Harry slumped. 'What? He likes her? Well, let's forget about Hermione, shall we?'
"Let's go to the sweet shop, Harry. It'll cheer you up." He shook his head.
"Maybe Hermione'll come by." He told her. She smiled, although she was angry.
"Harry, come on. Please. Just relax. Hermione'll find you anyway." Ginny told him. He got up reluctantly.
--
Ron smiled as he and Parvati walked through the village, holding hands. They had been to Honeydukes, where they saw Hermione and chatted for a while. They had already been to the Three Broomsticks, and the Ice Cream Parlor. Now, they were just making idle chat.
"I like that sweater, Parvati. It's so beautiful on you." He told her shyly. She smiled.
"Thank you, Ron. That's sweet." She told him. He hoped that everything would go okay.
--
Hermione was a bit worried. She had checked three different stores, being held up twice by Dean and Seamus, trying to snatch her away to another store. She was walking towards the Three Broomsticks when she froze.
--
Harry was outside the Three Broomsticks with Ginny, when she turned to him.
"Harry, are you sure you're okay?" She asked.
"No! I'm not. I want to wait for Hermione. Her-my-oh-knee." He said, voicing her name like he was speaking to a child.
"Well, Her-my-oh-knee, is having a blast flirting with Dean and Seamus! Why do want her here anyway!" Ginny raged, looking at him defiantly.
"Because, I --care about her." He said, almost slipping. "She's my friend, I care about her. And you know what? I'm going to find her right now. And if you were actually a good friend, you'd come help me--"
"I'm tired of you talking about Hermione! I'll shut you up!" Ginny said, pulling Harry down by his neck, and kissing him.
--
Hermione stared as the scene played out. She couldn't believe it. She threw her hands up and walked passed the two, not looking back to see if Harry knew she left. She didn't care.
--
Harry looked up, just in time to see Hermione walk past them. He swore in his mind. He pushed Ginny away.
"Ginny! What the hell are you doing?" Harry exclaimed. Ginny looked teary eyed. She slapped him, turned, and ran.
--
Hermione sat happily in the Gryffindor Common Room, listening to Ron play out the details of the Hogsmeade visit. She smiled, trying to forget what she had witnessed. Just as Ron was finishing, the door burst open and Harry stood there. Hermione got up.
"I'll talk about it later, Ron." She said, tossing him a look and bolting up the stairs. She flew into her room, and locked it up. She didn't want to see him. Every time she looked at him, she saw Ginny. Why did it bother her so much?
--
Harry raced up to his room and grabbed his Firebolt. He couldn't have Hermione thinking he liked Ginny, now could he? Kicking off out of an open window, he flew over to the other side of the Tower, and knocked on her window. Seconds later, it was propelled open, and Harry flew right in.
"Harry!" Hermione gasped, watching him dismount. She crossed her arms.
"Hermione, please don't be mad at me. I have to explain myself."
"You don't have to explain to me, Harry. You could've just told me you liked Ginny." She said, sitting down on her bed.
"No! You don't understand!" Hermione's door opened with a click as Ginny tucked her wand away.
"Hermione, it's okay. He just doesn't want to talk about it." She said, walked past Harry angrily to open the door to her room.
"Harry, you can tell me anything, you know." She said, ignoring Harry's confused face.(4) She smiled warmly. 'That's it. I didn't want to talk to him because he was keeping secrets from me.' Hermione assured herself.
"No! Ginny doesn't understand!" Harry said, stepping forward. In one quick motion, he cupped Hermione's chin and kissed her firmly on the lips. A whimper was heard from the corner of the room as Ginny looked on.
--
Thoughts were rushing through Hermione's head. 'This feels good, but I can't be kissing him..' 'Ginny..' 'But she hadn't even told her she found Harry, like she said she would..' 'Could Harry possibly like Ginny?' 'He's using me to make her jealous...'

Cryst: Second installment of Girl Help! Don't you guys think this is kicking off great? Well review! Responses are below this not. Thanks for reading! Anyway, the third chapter is The Kiss. It's describing the kiss between Harry and Hermione, and a kiss between Ron and Parvati.
(1) I don't know if I spelled this right... Someone tell me! But no flames!
(2) If Hermione comes along, Ginny will no longer attain Harry's attention.((attain attention.heehee)) So, she won't tell Hermione if she saw Harry.
(3) In case you didn't know, Ginny likes Harry. That's why she's lying to him about Hermione.
(4) Hermione thinks that Ginny didn't tell her where Harry was because they were having a secret relationship. So, that's why.
