Title: Quite Certain

Author: 2NiteItBeginz

Pairing: Harry/Luna

Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter. If I did, we would all rejoice, because Sirius wouldn't have died. Then again, maybe we wouldn't rejoice... look, the point is I'm not J. K. Rowling. OK?

Warnings: OotP spoilers, language, um... maybe more as the story progresses, I'll change the rating accordingly! Hermione bashing... quite a bit of it, actually...

Summary: Harry is quite certain Luna is a genius. Others would beg to say otherwise.

"Luna!" Ginny cried, "How are you? Have you gotten any leads on the Snorkack front?" She glared at Hermione's disgusted sniff, but Harry beat her to a reply.

"Hermy, darling, would you like a tissue? I hear it's cold season," he said mock sweetly.

"Harry, I just don't understand-"

"Well that's a first," Harry interrupted rather rudely, but he was beyond caring at this point.

"Well not really, she's been wrong about other things, too," Ron spoke up, "Remember the cat hair in the Polyjuice?"

Hermione blushed rather brightly.

"Oh," Ginny began, obviously enjoying Hermione's discomfort, "Don't forget about-"

"Oh, shut up," Hermione snapped, "The point is that I thought you were smarter than to consider her,"this word was loaded with venom, "a genius of any sort."

"I suppose she's not the conventional sort of genius, but..." Harry trailed of as his appraising stare made Luna blush.

"But Harry," Hermione was close to whining now, "She's so... so..."

"Standing right here and hearing every word you're saying. What exactly am I, Hermione?" Luna's tone was noticeably cooler now.

"Absolutely insane," Hermione replied with conviction, "I have no idea what Harry sees in you, but I think you're an insane, delusional, batty little-"

°°SMACK°°

Hermione stared in disbelief at Ginny as she clutched her throbbing cheek, "How dare-"

"How dare I? How dare you! You want to trade insults! Well you're a pretentious, bossy, overbearing little know – it – all!" She finished in a shout, "Come on, Harry, Luna. I want to go find some better company then that which we are presently in. Though, at this point, in the mood I am? Draco bleeding Malfoy would be better company. At least he's better looking."

Hermione's face had a superior look on it, "Harry's my best friend, and he doesn't want to go anywhere with that-"

"Ex – Best friend if you don't clean up you're attitude," Harry threw a disgusted look at Hermione, "And Ginny, about the Malfoy comment? Thanks. Thinking of Malfoy as a sexual being is not going to help my sleep patterns," he switched his focus back to Hermione, "I can make my own decisions."

"Oh, really? Look what your decision making skills did to Sirius!"

°°SMACK°°

This time Hermione was thrown to one knee by the force of the slap given to her by Luna, whose eyes were flashing with barely suppressed rage.

"You horrible bint! That wasn't Harry's fault and you know it! How can someone so supposedly smart say something so blindingly stupid! Ohhhh, I could just..."

It took both Ginny and Harry to hold Luna back as she tried to tackle Hermione, even though they both wanted to egg her on. Harry had immediately gone stony faced after Hermione mentioned his godfather, but he tried and was successful at beating down his emotions enough to attempt to calm Luna.

"C'mon Luna, let's just leave," he glared at Hermione with so much fury and pain in his eyes that she flinched, "Consider our friendship over. Goodbye Hermione."

Ginny nodded after Harry finished speaking, "That goes for me too, Hermione. I thought you were better than this."

"And I though you both had better sense."

Ginny rolled her eyes and began to follow after Harry and Luna, who had already begun walking away.

"Then obviously, our concepts of sense are very different."

A/N: Okay, was this chapter too angsty for a romance/humor fic? Did I make Hermione too much of a bitch? Where the hell did Ron go? I honestly did not plan on the whole Sirius thing, but the opportunity came up, and it was too good to waste! Questions... Do I need a beta? Answer honestly! Did Harry react too harshly? If Hermione was too... grrrrrrish, I could probably make that better, after all, if Lucius Malfoy can be under the Imperius, so can Hermione! Thanks to everyone who left a review! They are all appreciated!
