Title:Hit in the Face
Rating:G
Summary: Every time Harry and Ron fight with Hermione, she feels like she's being hit in the face.
Every time this happens it's like getting hit in the face. And I just keep getting hit. I say something to Ron and Harry says something off topic and Ron says something to Harry and my comment gets lost and I get mad because they don't listen to me and... I don't even know what to do anymore. I know I'm acting like a spoiled child. I just... I don't know what Harry's thinking or, more importantly, Ron is. The worst part is that I don't know if he likes me and I can't deal with that. Not knowing I mean. Ron always teases me because I get cranky when I don't know something but I guess he is right. I am a bit of a know-it-all. Ok ... more than a bit. I can't help it.
I guess that I'm going to keep getting metaphorically hit in the face until Ron gets a clue or harry clues him in for me. Maybe he already knows. Maybe he likes me back. Maybe- maybe... he doesn't.
No matter what the answer is, Harry probably knows it but since I'm busy getting hit in the face, I don't know. I'm not speaking to Ron and Ron's not speaking to me. That's like getting slapped.
I'd talk to Harry but he's siding with Ron only because if he sides with me he knows that he'll actually get some homework done, heaven forbid! That's what happens. that''s how I get hit in the face. Maybe they don't realize how much it hurts. Maybe they think that since I'm a girl I suddenly have no feelings. Or that it doesn't bother me as much. I don't know.
When Ron stops talking to Harry or I, he just goes off and talks to Seamus or flies out on the Quidditch pitch in his spare time. When they stop talking to me, I have nothing to do. I can't fly and I have no one to talk to. Lavender and Pavarti are just so bloody annoying and Luna can't go for an entire conversation without mentioning some idiotic thing from the Quibbler and Ginny... well, Harry is her ex-boyfriend/crush and Ron is her brother. She has trouble seeing faults in Harry and likes to attack Ron too much. I don't think that Ron is that stupid but I do think that he needs to reevaluate his morals.
I could study. And I do. But there's only so much time a person could spend on homework and I think that I've already passed the limit. When it gets to the point where teachers are having to set a limit on how many rolls of parchment you are allowed to turn in, you know you're overdoing it a little.
What's a girl to do?
They're not speaking to me now and I can't stop thinking about how much fun we have when we are all together and are the troublesome trio once again and I can yell at Ron for being a crude, insensitive, jerk. And I can help Harry with his homework and I can talk to him and give him self esteem boosts about Quidditch and relationships. I miss the times that Ron would complain that he doesn't understand girls but we've got boys all figured out.
One of us should probably apologize but Ron is too stubborn and Harry is too loyal. That means that I'll end up saying that I'm sorry.
The cycle will never end, will it? Ron will keep getting mad at me and Harry will side with one of us and I'll feel like I'm getting hit in the face, whether or not Harry sides with me, because when one of us is away, the others fall apart.
Apologizing is a hard thing to do but staying away from the people you love is harder.
A/N: please review. I know that this is not my usual style at all but it was bursting to get out.
