Belle of the Year

Author's Note: Hey! Sorry for such a long wait for an update! I've been really busy, and I had had this chapter all typed up, but when i went to save it, my computer froze, so i couldn't save it! And i couldn't remember what had been in it until now, so Sorry! Anyways, thanks for all the great reviews:

broadwaychick07: Okay, I will. In fact, that's what occurs in this chapter, so I hope that you enjoy it!

EmO-pEaNuT-bUtTeR-cUp: Yea, i really like them, too. My favorite song of their's is "I write sins, not tragedies". No, I don't have the CD, but my stepsister does. Thank god for Limewire! Anyway, Victor will be in this chapter, so enjoy it!

luckycharm04: Good idea. That will be in the first half of the chapter.

mike tike tofu: No, i don't think that you're weird! Cho is a good idea, so she might be in either this chapter or the next.

mesaqt: Thanks. I hope that you enjoy this chapter!

chelly223: Well, I'm not sure if I'm going to do that right away, but it WILL be in a future chapter. I just have so much going on in this chapter that there's not enough room for that! But, it will be in a future chapter, so don't worry.

Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter. All I own is the plot. I wish I owned Cedric, though!

On with the story! Also, this chapter takes place before Harry and Ron had the big fight, so they're still friends.

Chapter 8: The First Fight

Hermione hurried down to the library so that she could meet Cedric for the lesson. She was really proud of him, because in the few months that she had been helping him, he had gotten really good at it. She knew that the lessons would have to end soon, because she had taught him all that she knew, and they had gotten as far as the class was right now.

When she got to the Flobberworms section, she smiled. He wasn't here yet, so she had some time to set up for the lesson. She didn't know that Viktor Krum was in the library at the moment, either. She smiled and hummed a little song that she had heard over the summer.

She was having so much fun, she didn't notice that Viktor was right behind her until she felt a hand on her shoulder. She quickly turned around and gave him a big kiss on the lips. She pulled away when she heard some books fall on the floor. She saw Cedric standing there and was shocked.

"Cedric? If you're Cedric, then who?..." she looked at the person in front of her and gasped.

"Victor! What are you doing here?"

Viktor looked at her uncomfortably. "Vell, um...you see, I vas just coming over here to talk to you, but I didn't expect such a hello from you."

Cedric just looked from Hermione to Viktor and said, "I'll, erm, just be by the door if you need me." Then he turned and walked away.

Hermione looked at Viktor and said, "I'm sorry, Viktor, I thought that you were someone else. I have to go." She walked over to where Cedric was standing and sighed.

At the sound, Cedric looked up at her angrily. "Done with Krum, are you?"

Hermione flinched at his tone. "Cedric, I can explain!"

Cedric got up and started walking out. "I don't think that I really need an explanation after that! It's obvious that you would rather be with him than with me!"

Hermione sighed and grabbed his arm. "Cedric, listen! I was getting ready for the lesson when I felt a hand on my shoulder. I thought it was you, so I turned around and gave Viktor a kiss. It wasn't until after that I realized..."

"I don't care, Hermione! It's obvious to me that I'm not wanted!" Cedric interrupted, pulling his arm away. "You could have at least LOOKED before you kissed him! Now, get back to your Common Romm before I tell Dumbledore!"

Hermione turned and walked away from him, tears in her eyes. I wish that he could have at least listened to me! she thought angrily.

When she got back to the Common Room, Hary and Ron immediately noticed that something was wrong with Hermione. They walked over to her, and Harry said, "Hermione, what's wrong?"

Hermione shook her head and said, "It's nothing. I'm going to bed."

Ron stopped her and said, "C'mon, 'Mione! It's obvious that you've been crying. Now what's wrong?"

Hermione turned to him and snapped, "I said it's nothing, Ronald! Now leave me alone!" Then she stormed upstairs to the girls dorm to sleep.

The next morning, Hermione walked down to the Great Hall with a smile on her face. "Good morning, Harry, Ron." she said as she sat down. "All ready for Potions today?"

Harry and Ron groaned. "You're actually happy about going to Potions?" Harry asked.

"Well, why shouldn't I be? It's just a class, after all." Hermione replied.

Harry and Ron looked at each other. They were both thinking the same thing: Something's up.

Harry looked at Hermione. "Say, Hermione, where's Cedric? Doesn't he normally sit with us at breakfast?"

Hermione's smile turned into a scowl. "That prat! I'd be surprised if he DID sit with us today!"

Ron noticed the tone and said slowly, "Hermione, nothing...happened yesterday, did it?"

"What? No, of course not! Why?" She snapped. "Well, actually, something did happen." she said softly.

"What happened, 'Mione? You can tell us." Harry said, and Ron nodded.

Hermione sighed before speaking. "Well, you see, I was in the library last night, getting ready for the lesson, when I felt a hand on my shoulder. Naturally, I thought that it was Cedric, so I turned around and gave him a big kiss. Well, it turns out that it was Viktor Krum coming over to talk to me, and Cedric walked in just as I kissed Viktor. We got in this HUGE fight about it, and he wouldn't even listen to my side of the story. And now, I think that we're breaking up. But, the thing is, I still love him, so I have no idea whether I should support Harry or Cedric in the tournament. And now my life's just one big mess!" she took a deep breath. "Now do you understand?"

Harry and Ron nodded. "Listen, I'll try to talk to Cedric about it, okay? Maybe he'll listen to me." Harry said, taking Hermione's hand. "It'll be okay, I promise."

Hermione smiled weakly and sighed, "I hope so, Harry. I hope so." Then she got up and walked to Potions.
