Girl Help

Chapter 4: The Talk

Hermione marched up to the boys dormitory, with every step her heart rate increased. She turned the knob, and opened the door. She scanning the room, looking for Harry's bed. Walking through the aisles, she found his trunk at the end of a scarlet bed. She jerked the curtains back and gasped.

Ginny Weasley, covers up to her shoulders, blinked at her. "Hermione, um.."

"Hermione? Ginny!" Harry exclaimed, a towel wrapped around his waist. Hermione stared from the one in the bed, to the one out of a fresh shower. She stepped back, and ran.

"Hermione!" Harry called to her, watching her sail down the stairs. He'd never forget the look of pain on her face.

--

Hermione's eyes brimmed with the tears she had oh-so-keenly pushed back. Now, they spilled over the rims of her long, curled lashes, her brown eyes sparkling with hatred. She had run into countless people, none of them able to stop her from running, until someone shouted out a freezing spell, right in front of the library.

"Hermione." A soft voice spoke. "Please, I thought you were going to talk it through."

"You really should." Another voice spoke. She turned around, to see Parvati and Kali standing there, looking at her sympathetically. And she noticed it.

"I don't want your sympathy." She growled out. "I don't want your advice, I don't want anything of yours! Just leave me alone!" She exclaimed, fighting her way away from them, but making no progress.

"You know what I want? I want for Harry to love me. But he doesn't. He loves Ginny. And Ginny's just being nice and modest about it all. And I thank her, but he could've just told me he didn't really love me and let all end okay. But he didn't. He lied to me, and lied to me, until I finally--" She let out a sob, and Kali hugged her.

"Hermione, you have to forgive him. You have to." Parvati said.

--

Harry spotted Kali, Parvati, and Hermione at the end of the hall. He walked over to them, his hair dripping wet still, his eyes sad and hurt looking. He knelt down beside Kali and Hermione, who were still conjoined in a hug. Kali released her.

"Hermione, listen to me." Her eyes snapped up, and almost burned through his. Hatred and loneliness were evident.

"Ginny came in. She said she wanted to talk, but I told her I wasn't willing to talk with her, and left to get into the shower. I come out of the shower, and find her in my bed, and you think we've been doing something? I'd never do that to you, Hermione. I love you, and I meant it."

"No!" Ginny's outraged cry came from the end of the hall. She marched over, just as Harry stood up with his arms around Hermione.

"You can't love her! It's not right! Why don't you love me the way you do her? What does she have that I don't?" Ginny cried out. Hermione whimpered softly.

"That's just it. You aren't her. You can't give me what she does. I love her for her, not for you. Please try not to be angry." Harry explained.

"Angry? I thought you were joking with her? I thought you just wanted someone to be with, to make me jealous of! Now this? You mark my words, Harry James Potter, I will make your life a living hell. And her life, too." She glided past them, anger radiating off her in waves.

--

"Harry, you don't think Ginny is too mad, is she?" Hermione asked shakily from the red couch in the Gryffindor Common Room.

"No." He said, sitting next to her, and hugging her. "I wouldn't let her hurt you. Ever. And that.." He said with a kiss. "...is a promise."

--

Laughter. "Of course it is, Harry. Of course it is..." Ginny laughed, turning away.
