Chapter 4

Very early the next morning, Hermione, Ginny and Parvati who shared a room together found themselves sitting in a circle on the same bed, enjoying some girls talk.

Parvati first talked about her summer. She told them about Anthony Goldstein and Michael Corner, both Ravenclaw boys. She became really close with them last year, after spending a lot of time in the Ravenclaw common room with her twin sister. Hermione wasn't surprise at that statement because she always saw them together. Rumours even said that both boys were in love with the same Patil twin.

"This summer I spend all my time with them, but not at the same time. I saw Anthony alone, then Michael alone. And then again, and again. And that went like that all summer." said Parvati hiding her face behind her hands.

"And where is the problem? You are allowed to see your friends Parvati." Said Hermione curious with this sudden shyness. Shyness that wasn't at all part of her personality usually.

"I know that Mione, but there is something else. And I am really ashamed of it. Please don't judge me girls. I need your advice and support on this" said Parvati solemnly.

"You know that we would never judge you Pav! And to prove it to you…" Ginny answered with a reassuring smile before standing up and putting her wand on her chest "I swear on my wand that you will always have my support and friendship no matter what scandalous, outrageous or disgraceful thing you did!" Said a very serious redheaded. Parvati laughed at that.

"And I swear the same!" added Hermione repeating the same ritual.

"Okay, okay" said Parvati with a smile "I am very reassured now. So, the thing is Anthony thinks that we are together and that we must not tell anyone because Michael has feeling for me. And Michael thinks that we are a couple and that we must keep it a secret because of Anthony's feelings. So, I have two boyfriends at the same time and neither one of them knows about it!"

"Oh fuck" said Hermione in chock.

"God this is a really bad situation you are in" added Ginny.

"You have no idea how THIS is a fucking shitty situation. Ans girls I think I have feelings for BOTH of them, I can't decide who I love MORE!" chirped Parvati completely desperate. "What can I do? I need you on this! The only person who knows is Padma and she sucks at giving advice".

Ginny and Hermione looked at each other completely overwhelmed by their friend's despair. Parvati started crying when none of them answered.

"Oh god I am so afraid that I would lose them both. That's terrible, I love them both so much!" whinged desperately Parvati.

Hermione hugged her friend and patted her on the back "Don't cry sweetie, we will find a solution don't worry"

"But how?" said Parvati between two sobs.

"Well you have two options» said Hermione "First you have the harder way; difficult first but it would eventually become easier with time. And then you have the easy way; it is indeed easy at first, but it probably will become really difficult to handle afterward." explained Hermione still patting Parvati's back.

"How do you mean?" asked Parvati wiping her tears from her face.

"Well, you have to make a choice» continued Ginny, "A choice between telling them the truth or keeping lying to them. In the first case you can't really know how it will turn out. You could maybe end up with no-one left to love. Or one of them. Or both of them and you would have to take the time to choose who you love more. This is inevitable."

"And if you choose the second option, you would stay in this current situation until everything blows up one day. And then you would certainly loose them both." Said a sorry Hermione.

"This is a terrible dilemma" concluded desperately Parvati, "But you are right girls, I have to make a choice and deal with the consequences of my actions. I think, I need some time to think about it. Thank you for helping me" she added hugging both her friends. "Meanwhile, please don't tell this to anybody and especially not to Anthony and Michael".

"I swear!" Hermione and Ginny both said together.

"Okay, now that we talked about Parvati's drama, I want to know more about Ginny's!" said Hermione enthusiastically.

"What drama? I don't have any drama to share!" said quickly Ginny.

"Oh, there is definitely drama here!" insisted Parvati, "I can sense it when you lie love!".

Ginny blushed and matched with the red Gryffindor curtains behind her.

"And I know who the main character of this drama is!" added Hermione with a wink to Parvati. "Ginny has a crush on the boy who lived!". Hearing the news, Parvati was split between chock and excitement and that made Hermione laugh harder, and Ginny blush redder.

"NO WAY! HARRY POTTER?!" shouted Parvati.

Ginny throw her hand on the twin's mouth to silence her "Quiet! I don't want all fucking Hogwarts to hear about this!"

«So, you are admitting it then." said Hermione with the devil's smile on her face.

"Rooh, yes I admit it! This summer was amazing, Harry was amazing, and I think I have feelings for him. Well no, I am actually nearly certain that I have feelings for him! Now are you happy, little ferret? How did you know about this anyway?"

"I am sorry, but you were really obvious Gin!" answered Hermione.

"Oh god, do you think he knows about my feelings then? I spend ALL my summer with him and Ron!"

"I don't think so. I realized precisely because I didn't see you for a long time, your shifting of behaviour towards Harry was easier to notice for me. And also, it's Harry, he wouldn't realize the entire school had a crush on him even if they painted it on the walls with red paint. So, you have absolutely nothing to worry about" reassured her Hermione.

"And I didn't notice!" said Parvati.

"Yes, but you were too busy thinking about two other very specific boys" joked Ginny and that made her earn a pillow right in the face.

"Seriously this is way too soon to joke about that" said Parvati pouting. "Also, you promised me not to"

"Sorry but I didn't say anything about making fun of you!" said quickly Ginny. This time she avoided the pillow by throwing herself behind Hermione. Hermione wasn't that lucky and received it right in the face.

Ginny and Parvati laughed hysterically at the look that Hermione throw them both. They laughed non-stop for a long time and Hermione had to threaten them to leave in order for them to recover from their giggles.

"Okay, okay we will stop we are sorry love" said a still widely smiling Parvati.

"And it's your turn to tell us about your summer drama Mione!" said Ginny jumping on her knees repeatedly with excitement.

"What is there to say?" asked innocently Hermione.

"BLAISE ZABINI is a lot to say!" answered Parvati and Ginny at the same time.

"Oh god, okay, okay, I will explain but I don't think there is much to say!" she told them. "This summer, you both know that I went to Italy with my parents. It turned out that we accidently rented a vacation house located just next to Zabini's mother's house, where he spends every summer. I stayed there three weeks, and we became really good friends. That's it."

"But he is prejudiced against blood traitors and Muggle-borns!" said Ginny in chock.

"I thought that too, but actually no. First, we didn't get along at all, but we started to talk and spend more and more time together until we ended up real friends. He even apologised to me for all the bad things he could have said or thought." Explained Hermione.

"This is so weird. I would never get used to it. You, being friend with a Slytherin and Blaise Zabini on top of that!" Ginny said confused making eye contact with Parvati.

"Yes, it's really weird. But I have the feeling there is something you are not telling us Mione!" said Parvati suspicious. Hermione slightly blushed, but it was enough to see that she was hiding something. "Oh my god I knew it! What is it? What happened between you too? Is there something else than friendship? Fuck, is he your BOYFRIEND?"

"God stop that a minute. He is not my boyfriend! Actually, we thought that we had feelings for each other at the end, and we kissed, but we realized that it just wasn't it." Answered quickly Hermione.

"OH, MY, FUCKING, GOD! YOU KISSED BLAISE ZABINI!" shouted hysterically Ginny and Parvati.

"Calm down girls! God you are both impossible! We both agreed that nothing could happen between us and that we were better and happier as friends!" said Hermione already regretting telling them all about it.

"I can't believe it! This so funny and chocking!" said Ginny still bemused.

"This was unexpected that's for sure, especially from you Hermione! But I guess you really have changed this summer and for the better I am sure." added Parvati.

"I hope so. Also please don't tell anyone!" pleaded Hermione "I already promised him I wouldn't and here I am spreading it like eczema".

"Don't worry we won't tell anything, like the three of us won't tell anything about everything that we just revealed to each other! Right? I want a wand's promise" asked Parvati.

They all stood up put their wand on their chest and swore on their wands that nothing said here would get out from their mouths.

"Perfect, now girls I am starving, should we get some breakfast before our first class?" asked Hermione.

They all agreed they were starving and went to the Great Hall to get something to eat and fast. As they entered the huge room, a lot of looks shot in their direction. This was weird. Did they have paint on their face or something?

Ginny accompanied Parvati to the Ravenclaw's table to say hello to her twin and Hermione headed to the other direction. As she walked to her seat at the Gryffindor's table, she realized that people were staring at her specifically. She sat next to Harry and Ron, and even at their table, people were either whispering or staring at her. Ron and Harry themselves seemed in chock. They gave her the newspaper open at the second page, she took it and read the title of the first article she saw. Her heart stopped. What the fuck was this nonsense?
