Well! Thank you all so much! I'm going crazy here because I have so many exciting things planned and I can't wait to get to them all, but I have some things to establish first, but I am trying to keep everything interesting enough in the mean time. And plus, I have so many ideas to do with each little couple, but there is just not enough time to get it all in, grrr! Plus, school is so hectic; I go to school at 7 in the morning and come home at 9 at night! 14 hours at school! Crazy, huh? So, it is really hard for me to update, but I am doing my best! Anyways, once again, if you have any requests or anything like that please let me know, I'm always open! And please review, I love reading them! Well here are the regular thanks:
Sappjody: I'm so glad that you are enjoying the story! I will do another one I promise, but this one does have a way to go before it is over (that is if ya'll like it enough for me to continue); I was thinking maybe a Hermione/Draco.... I will let you all help me decide what kind of fic that I do next.
Dark-Raven-04: Thank you so much for reviewing! Here is that update you wanted!
Siriuszsecretlover: Thank you so much! I'm so excited that you love it. I haven't gotten around to reading your story yet, but I checked out the summary and it looks great, and hopefully I will get around to it this weekend!
Valentineshater: hehehe! I'm not quite sure what is funny, but hey, it's all good! Hehehe!
Bexylou: You think it is brilliant? Really? Well, I feel so good now! Thank you for reviewing!
NickyBlack: I always look forward to your reviews! My faithful reviewer! I'm glad you enjoyed the last chapter, and I hope you enjoy this one. I feel bad for Kyle-er-Sirius too, but I couldn't have them get together that easily could I? This is a sirius-hermione flick, but every relationship has bumps along the way.
Disclaimer: This will be my last disclaimer because they are a pain, but this follows through for the remainder of the story. I do not own any of the characters—those belong to JKR. I only own the plot, and I'm making no money off of it (regretfully!)
NOW, that all that is done, on with the chapter! (Remember, Kyle just stormed out of potions)
Chapter 9
Impossible Proves Possible
The bell rang and the trio scampered out of the classroom to find Sirius. They heard someone ranting and raving in an empty classroom. Harry cautiously opened the door just as Kyle through a desk against the wall. Hermione let out a small yelp at the bang, and he turned around to face his visitors.
"Oh, it's you."
"Yeah, us" Ron mumbled.
"What was all that about man?" Harry questioned.
"Nothing."
"Nothing? I hate Snape as much as the next guy, but that was not nothing. That was beyond hate by both of you."
"Well, I kind of knew Snape back in my own time."
"So he knows that you're from the future, he recognized you?"
"I don't think he could ever forget me." Kyle chuckled
"Why does he hate you so much?'
Kyle started to spill all about he marauders and their pranks against the Slytherins, but then realized that he wasn't supposed to reveal his true identity, and he didn't want to take any chances. "You know, just bad blood between Gryffindor and Slytherin. Plus, all of Slytherin hated me because I didn't think like my pureblood family did. I could care less about purity of blood."
Hermione grinned at his comment, but then their eyes met—hurt flowing between the two. Kyle's cheeks started to twinge a slight red possibly from hurt or maybe from anger. Hermione didn't know.
"Got to go."
He said and he quickly slipped out of the room to put as much distance as possible between Hermione and himself. 'Why does it hurt so bad?' he wondered to himself.
As the day went on, many learned of Kyle and Hermione's blow up. Countless girls saw this as the perfect opening. After all, Kyle was gorgeous with his toned body, his perfect hair, his gorgeous hair, and of course that heart melting smile. However, no one saw the latter—he couldn't bring himself to smile while his heart was breaking under the strain of his emotions.
At lunch, the trio and Kyle were joined by about a dozen girls who were trying their best to sit as close to Kyle as possible. Hermione just stared at her food because it was so painful to watch all the beautiful girls practically throw themselves at Kyle's feet. Kyle was a guy, who was known as the Gryffindor Sex God during his time, and he couldn't hold back from flirting; although, his heart wasn't truly in it. Hermione couldn't stand it—all the giggling, the compliments, all of it. As the end of lunch neared Kyle asked if any of the girls would like to accompany him to his next class—about 11 girls eagerly stood up. He grinned, throwing one last look at Hermione, who was trying her best not to watch, he walked out of the hall escorted by almost a dozen beautiful girls.
"Ugh! Absolutely sickening!" Hermione huffed as she shuffled out of the great hall very irritated.
Harry, Ginny, and Ron were left alone. Harry's fingers were intertwined with Ginny's and he was whispering lovingly in her ear as she giggled.
Ron rolled his eyes and mumbled, "no, that is what is sickening."
Ginny and Harry soon got up from the table and left the hall in their own little world.
Ron was left alone dejected and mumbling words of bitterness.
"Hey Ron! What's up?"
"Not now Luna, I'm busy."
"Doing what?" Luna asked glancing around to see what he was preoccupied with.
"I'm busy being pissed off because I'm alone, so leave me alone."
Ron really was stupid at times. He got up and left the Hall alone.
"Well, I'm here whenever you're ready for some company." Luna mumbled to Ron's retreating frown with a dissappointed look gracing her face.
The rest of the day passed in a haze for both Hermione and Kyle. Kyle doing his best not to let his broken heart show through, and Hermione trying to act like breaking up with Kyle was what she really wanted. Both knew they were lying to themselves, but they couldn't let anyone else know the truth.
When dinner time came around, Hermione decided to skip it and read in the common room. She couldn't bear to encounter Kyle and his fan club again.
Kyle chose the same option, he was sick of all the girls following him around and he just wanted to be alone to think. He walked into the common room and it was almost empty save for one beautiful Gryffindor girl by the name of Courtney. She smiled at him and he returned it graciously. He sat down on the couch without a word.
Courtney was delighted by the fact that they were alone, and slowly made her way to his side. "What's on you mind love?" she asked
"Nothing, It's just been a long day."
"Let me help." She soothingly started to rub his shoulders. No matter how uncomfortable this made him, he couldn't deny that it felt very relaxing. Before he knew what was happening, she had thrown herself across him and was forcing his lips on to hers.
Hermione reached the portrait and stepped through....clunk. She dropped her books on the floor. Kyle tore his face away from the girl on top of him to see a shocked and angry Hermione staring at him. She tried to hold back tears but she couldn't she ran to the portrait hall and started running down the hall as fast as she could never turning to look back. She felt a hand grip her arm and whip her around gently. Her eyes were filled with tears and her vision was extremely blurry, but she knew those eyes anywhere.
"What do you want Kyle?"
"To talk..."
"You know, I knew that you enjoyed the attention, but I didn't actually think you would jump on the first whore that came along." She turned to walk away but he reached out once more.
"Mione, it wasn't what it looked like..."
"Oh really? What were you doing then? Playing Chess? No, wait—let me guess, she just forced herself on you..."
"Well, actually she did."
"Yeah! Right! And a strong man like you couldn't get out of her grasp?"
"I was just about to when you walked in."
"Whatever, it doesn't really matter anyway since we aren't even together." She stated
"We could be..." he pleaded
"No, Kyle, it's impossible."
"Oh, yeah, I remember—it's too bloody complicated because I'm not from this time and it is all pointless. Am I right?"
"No, it's IMPOSSIBLE because you care too much about yourself and your reputation that there is no room left for me. Just go back to your time so your life won't be so damn difficult anymore. We'll be just fine without you." She spat harshly.
Kyle's breath caught in his throat, and his heart plummeted into his stomach.
"Alright then..." he whispered and walked away.
Hermione clutched her chest; her breathing was erratic and unsteady. She couldn't believe the words that came from her mouth. The truth was that she wouldn't be fine without him; every minute that she failed to gaze on his face caused the whole in her heart to widen. She made her way back into the common room and threw a glare at Courtney. Courtney saw this and a look of horror came over her face. "Hermione, I'm so sorry, I thought you two were over."
"We are over."
"Is it because of what just happened?"
"No, Courtney, it's fine, really..."
"Good, because I never would have come onto him if I knew you were dating."
"Wait—you did come onto him. So you kissed him?"
"Well, yeah, he actually didn't even kiss me back..." she glanced to the floor embarrassed by her actions.
"Oh my God...." Hermione whispered and fled from the room.
She looked in The Great Hall, but he wasn't there. She searched the hallways, several classrooms, and the grounds. Then she saw a long stick beside the Whomping Willow—the shrieking shack! She ran to the large willow and grabbed the stick, she prodded the knot at the base and the limbs froze. She scampered down the dark, dank passageway that led to the shrieking shack. She broke into a run until she reached the room with large room. The room was even more of a disaster than normal—tables were overturned, chairs were smashed, and Kyle was sprawled across the bed. His head was buried into a pillow and Hermione's heart broke at the sight of him breathing heavily while he cried lightly into the pillow.
"Kyle?" she said
His head shot upward. His eyes were puffy and his cheeks were trailed with tears. He didn't speak, but rather just looked at her.
She walked toward the bed and sat by his side, "I'm so sorry."
"No, I'm sorry. I'm sorry that I thought that we could overcome the challenges around us and maybe have something—I was wrong."
"You don't mean that..."
"Oh, I don't?"
"Kyle, I'm sorry; I was just scared."
"You were scared? I'm here in a time not my own. I'm seeing things that I've never seen before, knowing things that I should never know, and feeling emotions that I've never felt before. You have no idea about what it is like to be scared."
This infuriated Hermione, "I've been through more than you can ever imagine! I've lost friends that I loved deeply! I've faced horrors that you can't even begin to fathom. I have faced some of the scariest things in this world, but I feared you leaving me here, alone in this time and heart broken more that all of those combined. I'm scared too..." She broke down into tears and sobbed.
Kyle's eyes opened in shock. He wrapped his arms around her and she buried her face into his shoulder. "I'm sorry Mione, I'm so sorry."
"No, I'm sorry. I was so scared by my feelings. I didn't want to fall in love and then lose you forever."
He tilted her chin up till their eyes met. "Mione, look at me. I don't know how this is going to end, but Dumbledore said that I'm here for a reason; the letter said that I decide the ending to this story. I can't think of a better reason to be here than you, and every story needs a happy ending, right?"
Well! That's all for this chapter, I know, I know....fluff! I couldn't help it. I had to get that conflict resolved to move on in the plot. I have one question... Hermione and Kyle are about to get very close and I was wondering if my readers think that they should have sex. If they did, I wouldn't make it a graphic sex scene at all, actually there will be hardly any detail (unless you all really want some), but I need them to be very close and intimate, so should they have sex or just get close? Let me know what you think...but keep in mind that I need them to get intimate no matter what, it's just a question of whether they go all the way or not. Thanks for reading, I hope you enjoyed. Please review, and let me know what you all think. Thanks, Brittany.
