The Big game...The bigger Heartbreak...

HP.O.V

Oh I do love Quidicth season it's so fluffy! Anyway today is the big game between Gryffindor and slitherin, in three words: I'm so excited! I mean I know I and Ron haven't exactly been on happy terms but that doesn't make me want to see how well or bad he does. You see Ron has already had his first match and it didn't go to well, thanks to malfoy. He decided to pull the most cruellest prank he's ever done. Basically the match began and it was all la-de-da, until Malfoy started singing (rather badly in my opinion) a stupid song about Ron, and from there it just got a bit messy Ron started messing up and as he did the versus got louder as molfoy got the whole of slytherin involved and then the whole thing just fell apart.

You know what I'm not going to just sit here and take Ron's stubbornness I'm going to go up to the Gryffindor house table and sit next to him even if we don't talk. I was just marching into the isles when I saw her...lavender in my seat (that's next to Ron) chatting happily to him. That girl is really starting to annoy me, and she's delaying my plans no way am I gonna sit near her so I'm just gonna sit next to Seamus (whose opposite Ron.) I slid in and Ron doesn't even glance at me, pftt didn't even want to look in your annoying arrogant... lovely sky blue eyes anyway! And to my luck lavenders just wrapping up her little convo with Ron.

"-Oh and by the way Ron, good luck" she said standing up and winking before turning and walking away.

" Yeah bye" Ron said in a strange tone like he was annoyed, and just at that moment Mr Stupid head notices me!

"Hi "I say in a sarcastic way "finally clocked have you?" I say

"Yeah Hi" he says err he's such an idiot. I decided to ignore Him for the rest of breakfast until I saw something that caught my attention. Harry was getting out a small tiny golden bottle of something that was unmistakably Felix Fenics AKA luck potion ( harry won it in potions-much to Snape's annoyance) and pouring it into Ron pumpkin juice Omgosh he's gong to make Ron score by cheating I had to say something.

"Harry what are you doing?" I said eyeing the potion as he slid it out of sight Ron and Harry looked up at my voice. The corners of harry's mouth suddenly twitched like he was about to burst into laughter but then controlled himself what is that boy up to seriously?

"Nothing" he said I roll my eyes.

"Sure I just saw you take out the you-know-what!" I said Ron sniggered

"First of all it's you-know-who...and second I sure Harry won't have him in his pocket!" Ron said and the boys chuckled.

"Well if you must know" I say eyeing Harry "Harry just slipped something into your drink" is aid Ron frowned and glanced at his drink. Harry was still trying not to laugh.

"As a matter of fact I did" Harry said.

"Exactly! You put-"I glanced around to see if anyone was listening and said "- in some Felix Fenics!" I whispered. Ron gagged on a bit of sausage he was nibbling ha serves him right for being such a jerk, and I'm glad that he agrees with me about not cheating and h-

"You wasted some of that potion just for...me?" Ron said suddenly to harry it was my turn to gag.

"No Problem mate it's no waste at all I want you to do well!" Harry said smirking. I was so furious how can Harry even think of doing this?

"Ron you can't actually like this idea seriously! Its cheating if you get caught you will both get in serious trouble!" I said trying to keep my panicky voice down. Ron glanced at me then at Harry then at the orange pumpkin juice. He suddenly looked up at looked me straight in the eye are eyes met and for a second I was entranced by those shocking blue eyes.

"If you can do what you want I can do what I want...just stop bossing me around" Ron said darkly and with one gulp drained his goblet and marched out of the hall leaving me and Harry shocked. Well I was certainly not entranced by his eyes now! How could he say that to me...why would he say that to me? I looked at harry and was pleased to see that that smirk was smacked of his face, what had he been thinking! Trying to win the match by cheating the idea is has bad as any slyithrin! I was suddenly angry, angry at both of them!

"Well" I turned to Harry "I hope your little plan works!" I say sarcastically and I ran out the hall determined not for harry to see how upset I was.

RP.O.V

I marched all the way to the Gryffindor boys changing rooms and collapsed on one of the benches. Damn! Why the bloody hell did I just do that?! I've just hurt the girl of my dreams all because of a stupid drink! I've got to go apologize- now! I started to trot back to the Hall when lavender brown bumps into me.

"Sorry" I say by my voice she seemed to be hit by a stunning spell, seriously why does she always do that it's starting to creep me out.

"Oh!" she says in a voice higher than usual "It's fine! I was just oh gosh I was just passing by!" She said going all coy. I suppress an eyebrow raise, she's so peculiar.

"It's ok really." I Said "Any ways it was nice talking to you but I really got to go somewhere" I said my mind diverting back to Hermione. Lavender frowned.

"But why? We only just met now let's go to the pitch seeing that your already changed!" she said errrrr I don't want to!!! Ok think!

"I really need to...go and...Talk...to...H-Harry!" I stutter damn! Lavender frowned even more.

"Oh ok then I-I understand" she said in a voice that made you think that she was gonna cry errrrr damn again!

"I'm sorry lavender you can come catch me...after the game if you want to!" I said tactfully. Lavender immediately cheered up.

"Oh ok Ron seeyas!" she said, waved and bounced off. Erm Quidicth is about to start I better just go to Hermione afterwards I thought. The just as I was about to go to the changing rooms to wait for the rest of the team a thought suddenly popped into my head. Hermione kissed Krum. My world shook at the thought what is the point! Why should I apologize? I'm just going to wait for the team and maybe actually consider my meeting with lavender after the match. Another thought then popped into my head. Do you really want to do that? I thought for a moment I like Hermione maybe even...Love. But if she can kiss Krum I can...kiss lavender and make her feel horrible. Then that same question came to my head. Do you really want to do that? I thought again but then a straight answer came to my head.

Yes.

HPOV

I'm still fuming about those stupid boys! Now if we do win the match its only going to be because we cheated! I'm so stupid I should have been more firm I should have even grabbed the bottle out of Harry's hand if I had to! Ok that's a little crazy, but still! What's more is that me and Ron's friendship is going even more and more down the hill. Well I better go and go to the Quidicth pitch.

I sprinted to the pitch and settled just in time for the open commentary.

"Well it has been a rocky road for all teams the year but now we face the decided the one...the play off!" Jordan lee said dramatically. This is already getting exciding and even though I'm not speaking to Ron and harry at the moment I know that deep down I how they do well...especially Ron-even if he is cheating.

"And Angelia's got the ball passing it to Katie, Katie's swerving round heading towards the goals comes on you can do it! And she's still going shooting now and...SCORE! 0-10 to Gryffindor!" the crowds cheered with relish and I clapped too, at least Katie wasn't cheating!

"Flint has captured the ball and it zooming towards the goal...hope he falls of his broom." Jordan said with an undertone filled with dislike unluckily for him Professor Magonal heard.

"Jordan keeps your comments to yourself!" she shouted Jordan turned to her.

"Sorry Professor G won't happen again!" he said as professor magonall's lips twitched as though fighting a smile at his nick name. "Angelina's in possession of the quaffle." Jordon continued "she's heading towards the goal hopefully for a second goal and what's this flints on her tail his and-what the heck is going on flint gas snatched the ball out of her hand and is heading towards the Gryffindor goalpost Mr Ron Weasly on post quite new to the team-not a very good start from him on his last match –least see how he does." Ron was looking nervous and even though I knew what was going to happen I just hoped it went well-well obviously it is I thought sourly.

"And Flints ready to strike and-I don't believe it Weasly's blocked it!" Jordan shouted in surprise all the teams except for Slytherin (of course) stood a standing ovation for Ron who had a grin plastered to his freklely face. Oh now I'm not worried and sure enough the game went as smooth as newly buffed ice Gryffindor cheered for every goal-but mostly every save. Gosh I'm really annoyed now of course I'm happy but knowing that were in the lead because of cheating is eating my insides! The game was going on for a long time scoring and saving scoring and saving until Harry suddenly made a dive the crowed eyes followed him like a shooting star and.

"HARRY POTTER'S CAPTURED THE SNICTH. GRYFINDOR WINS!!!" Jordon shouted the all three house's excluding Slytherin erupted into applause and screamed like a volcano for Gryffindor had won the cup. And only I Harry and Ron knew how-cheating. Like I said before I was pleased that we won but there was no justice in it. I don't care what Ron dose but I'm going to have a word with him.

I fought my way through the crowd and safely into the dressing rooms where the "Hero" will soon be. I thought sarcastically. And sure enough the team came in got out and I waited until they had left until there were just me Harry and the cheater.

"How could you Ron" I said Ron knew I was there and so did harry but they didn't say anything "I'm talking to you Ron and you harry and speaking of you harry why did you do it?" I said to my utter astonishment Harry turned around and with it a huge smile that was almost too big for him was stretch across his face.

"I didn't do anything." He said smiley then burst into uncontrollable laughter which was clearly what he wanted to do ever since this morning however I was still confused.

"What do you mean you didn't do anything?" I said and Ron had finally turned around due to curiosity "I clearly saw you tamper with Ron's drink!" I said starting to get annoyed.

"Don't you get it Hermione?" Harry said like it was the most obvious thing in the world. "Well this was the plan" Harry continued not bothering to wait for a reply. "I knew Hermione that you were secretly paying attention me and Ron "I flushed of course how the heck did he know? Gosh sometimes I wonder if me and harry are actually brothers and sisters he knows me so well I mean Ron dose as well but harry that how could he know that! " I knew that you were watching us because every time we made a joke or a funny moment you would smile or frowned at any scheme to get Molfoy kicked out of school" Harry said answering my unspoken question seriously how does he do that!? "Anyway getting back to eh point I knew that you were looking so I pretended to slip some Felix Felics into Ron's drink and I knew you were going to blab so it was the perfect plan!" Harry Finished.

a million questions were going through my mind why did he do it? Why didn't he tell us before why did he have that smug smile on his face? So is he didn't put it in Gryffindor didn't win by cheating! I was so relived it felt like an hundred tone mammal had been lifted off my shoulders like all the guilt had gone away and that I didn't help Gryffindor cheat by not telling anyone. But I would never tell anyone though Harry and Ron are still my best friends! But at the same time as this weakening relief I was still so confused. I glanced at Ron his expression was the exact same as mine like a million questions were going though his mind too!

"Why?" we said in unison I blushed a bit but I don't think anyone noticed.

"Well wanted you to tell Ron that I had put the potion in the drink so he would think That he was filled with luck potion cause I also knew he would drink it but instead of luck he was filled with confidence instead, so the luck potion didn't win the game...you did mate!" Harry said beaming at Rona and clapping him gently of the shoulder. "I knew you could do it all you needed was a little self- esteem!" He said wow that really is a good plan.

"Wow" said Ron suddenly "I did it all by myself?" he questioned and Harry nodded. Ron beamed and I was certainly happy too but the Ron turned to me.

"see you thought I couldn't do it hurt coloured his tone. I was stunned.

"What? What do you mean "You thought you couldn't do it?"?" I said I was quite surprised how much hurt coloured my tone. Suddenly my hurt turned to anger. I was half responsible for getting him on the team! I confunded Cormac Mc Laggen so he would miss the 5th goal and Ron would take the lead and be on the team! I stood by him all these years! I've let him copy my homework God only knows how many times!

"How can you even say that!" I spat "I believed in you right for the very beginning and I told you about the potion because I cared about you not being kicked out of school!" I shouted Ron's face flickered form anger to forgiveness for a second but then something that I don't know what made him turn back to anger.

"So have I Hermione!" He shouted so loud that it made me cringe slightly I've never seen him his angry before only with Molfoy the thought made a lump in my throat appear. "I stood by you all these years to you know! When I thought Grawp was dangerous and he picked you up I was scared... for you!" Ron face flickered again but the anger returned again but much quicker this time like a ¾ of a second. " also when Victor" he infer sized his name more then necessary "Asked you to the Yule ball I made all sorts of excuses because I cared... and if he hurt you I would never forgive myself for not doing something." He said my anger lessened at this. "But I doubt you would care you would protect your little victor!" Ron shouted and cringed at something as though remembering something horrible. I was shocked but then my anger returned what had victor got anything to do with this? I laughed bitterly.

"What has victor got to do with this?" I shouted back "and I'm not protecting victor believe me I just wanted to know why, why your acting like he's a bomb waiting to go off!" I said. Ron paused for a minute is anger ebbing away but hurt filled his eyes...why?

"A lot" he said in a low voice and left me confused and hurt just like breakfast.

I couldn't believe it I turned to Harry he looked just as shocked as I did I had nothing to say to him I was too full of emotions... special hurt. It looked like he did though. He hesitated the looked at me with a sad expression.

"I'm sorry." He said quietly and left me in the dressing Rooms...alone. Why would Ron do that anyway why? Why? Why!? It was like victor was planted in his brain and made him think that he was the cause of destruction I had to see Ginny...Ginny! I had no Idea why but something was telling me that Ginny had the answer to Ron's behaver.

I raced up to the common Room determined to find out what was up and at the moment my Ginny senses were tingerling. I flew up the stairs and shouted the password a little too loud.

"Are you all right dear?" The Fat lady questioned I was startled by her question and racked my brains for an answer.

"Err I'm f-fine just in a bit of a hurry" I said in a rush the Fat lady nodded and smiled.

"Well ok then dear" she said "You g go right on in" and with those words she swung open her portrait door and I clumsily stumbled inside. I looked around at the jam-packed room full of beaming smiley faces, Ginny and Harry were standing when I spotted them and for Harry wasn't staring at Ginny all goo-goo eyed as usual in fact he wasn't staring at her at all they were both staring at something and by the looks of it, the thing was creepy them out grossed out actually. I dropped all my worries for a second as my curiosity got the better of me ooooo I want to see! I got close enough to them fighting my way though the crowed just in time to hear Ginny say "It looks like he's eating her face, doesn't it? " to Harry, Harry nodded call me weird but I think it would be fascinating to see someone eat someone's head even if it does make me want to throw up. I turned on the spot to see this and expecting to see a fascinating but horrific sight instead something much,much worse came face-to-face with me: Ron and Lavender Brown we sat in a chair doing something that closely resembled kissing except more vicious like. It was disgusting.

I felt as though my world came crashing down at that moment and as though I could almost hear...my heartbreak, right down the middle. A lump appeared in my throat and I found it difficult to swallow but I managed. I closed my eyes and turned on the spot and opened them again not wanting to see anymore I ran out of the room not daring to glance behind fighting tears the whole way.

I bolted into the first deserted classroom I could find not caring if the door was ajar or not. I ran into the corner of the room, sunk to the floor and completely broke down...just like my world. . The sight of Lavender and ... R-Ron still fresh in my mind.

I just sat there for what felt like hours, but it was probably just a few minutes just crying and thinking about what I could possibly do next. How could he do this was he really that clueless didn't he even suspect the I like him...maybe even love him? I questioned myself the answer came in a flash: it's because he doesn't like you... And cruel voice said ...he never did...he likes lavender...with her flirty smile and... Her perfect hair! I looked at my hair and back at my knees yeah perfect hair I have! I thought sarcastically. Then suddenly without warning another thought crashed into my head: The Ice-Skating Tournament. I stopped crying for a second as I thought bitterly what was point...He probably only accepted dancing with me because he felt for a stupid, pathetic, bushy headed girl,... like me.

Without really knowing what I was doing I bursted into to tears again and pulled out my wand, and created some yellow canaries I watched them float around my head they made me calm down a little., until I was crying out the last of my tears onto my already tear-stained face. I must have looked really pathetic 6 bright yellow canaries flying around and around my head I probably looked like those smuggle cartoons I used to watch when I was 8 or 9 years of age I used to love them they were called "The Looney Toons" and when they used to get hurt or hit on the head by an over-sized baseball bat a huge lump would appear on the head and birds of all different colours would fly around there heads until they'd re-changed conciseness which was always pretty soon. Sometime I miss being little because everything was so less complicated...but I would never regret becoming a witch, that was the greatest day of my life finding out that I Hermione Granger the Know-It-All had magical powers and for once in my life I felt more than just the dentist daughter I felt...special.

I was too engrossed in my thoughts too notice a certain black-headed boy walked through the wide-opened door. I looked up -startled I quickly tried to wipe my eyes on my sleeves but even so this did not help for my puffy eyes and red nose gave it away. Harry sat down beside me and startled me again by suddenly speaking.

"Nice birds" he said gently at these words my anger towards him straight away I was never able to stay mad at him for so long.

"Thanks" I said just as gently. Harry then did something that I would never forget that day: he reached towards me and hugged me him a gentle brotherly hug I broke down all over again.

"It's ok" he said and gentle patted me on the head I laughed softly Harry is a good friend. And he gently slid away ad looked at me. "Don't worry about Lavender your worth ten more then she is." He said gently yet again I smiled

"Thanks Harry" I said softly and patted his head too with laughed quietly. All of a sudden we heard a noise and Harry tensed beside me as Ron flew in the door laughing and pulling Lavender with him I stared in horror and before I could stop myself I pointed my wand at Ron overcome with anger and shouted.

"Oppungo!" I shouted the tears were coming again and I rushed out the door only to catch a glimpse of Ron being attacked by my canaries I felt a teensy bit guilty but Ran out the classroom never the less leaving Ron... with his girlfriend.

Thanks for reading a bit of a sad chapter that one but the next won't be quite that sad as Hermione turns to her stress reliever: Ice –Skating! Seeya!

Luv Lil'Hermione34
