Chapter 9: Nothing is fair in this war

Few moments after Hermione had dressed up, she remembered the list that they made earlier, as she took the piece of paper out of her pocket, placing it on her drawer, why she didn't show Ginny the last thing on her list was her own little secret, but that didn't mean she also believes in the 'perfect guy' because there really isn't in this world and talk about amusing,

a list? How totally naïve! I should have known better, Hermione said to herself, but I did promise Ginny I'd try…she sighed and waited outside for Ginny next to the fireplace as she sat down on the couch, placing her feet up, as she starred at the fire, the flames growing bigger and smaller, lost in her thoughts before someone sat down beside her

"What are you doing here by yourself? Isn't class starting in about 5 minutes?" Harry asked not looking at her but staring at the fire as well

"Actually am waiting for Ginny…" she explained as she didn't even move a muscle

"Listen…Mione…I.."

"Harry…don't! Don't say anything…" Hermione said almost shouting as she finally starred at him, she can see the hurt in him, just by looking at his eyes, the war coming nearer it hurts to see him like this, and he was going to do anything to keep everyone safe from it all, even if it meant his own life in return

Harry suddenly stood up in front of her "What am I suppose to do then Mione? Watch and wait for something to happen? Am not like that! I can't take it anymore! I just got to get these feelings out before who knows what happens to me after the war!"

"Shit Harry! Don't even say that!" Hermione said as she stood up from the couch, starring at his eyes

"Why can't I? Damn Mione! Am only saying it because it's the truth! No one knows what would happen after the war! No damn person!" he said as tears filled his eyes filled with anger, fear and sadness at the same time

"Harry…" Hermione said as she placed her hands on his eyes whipping the tears from his cheeks, "I just don't want to see you get hurt because of me…don't you think am doing this because I only want what's best for you!" she added as tears fell from her eyes,

Her heart couldn't handle what was happening; it was filled with so much sadness

Harry lifted her chin up for him to face her as tears rolled down her cheeks, then he gave her a quick hug, it was tight like it was the end of the world, she didn't want to let go, she didn't want him to leave her; the war didn't make anything fair for anyone

"uhm…Excuse me! Am I interrupting anything here?" Ginny asked as she cleared her throat as she saw them still in a hug

"Ginny!" Hermione said as she pulled away from the hug, whipping her tears and quickly fixed her hair

"Shall we go then?" Ginny asked as she took a small piece of hair from her cheek and tucked it behind her ear

"Yeah…su-re" Hermione said unsurely as she looked at Harry and headed towards Ginny

"What happened back there?" Ginny asked as they got out of the common room and were on their way to class

"What? Oh, you mean the hug? Nothing…we just wanted to…uhm…" Hermione said trying to find an excuse

"Mione…are you and Harry uhm…how should I say this? Together or anything?" Ginny asked as she opened the door

"What?! Of course not!" Hermione said looking at her surprised "How can you say that?"

"Well…I just thought that maybe…you two were…"

"I don't want to even hear this Ginn…" Hermione said as she raised her hand signaling her to stop

"Well…okay then…if you say so Mione…" Ginny said as they took their sits

Harry came in, glancing over to Hermione before he could say anything Ron shouted from the other side of the room

"Harry! Over here!" Ron shouted to Harry, signaling him to sit next to him

Harry just smiled and walked to where Ron was, sitting next to him as they talked about something

After class Hermione and Ginny stayed in the common room for the night, trying to study but all Hermione could do was keep thinking about Harry, what he had said earlier

"Mione, you okay?" Ginny asked as she stood up from the floor almost tripping from all the books on the floor, sitting next to Hermione on the couch

"Am okay…I guess am just a bit distracted…" Hermione explained as she tried concentrating on reading the book

"Okay Mione, this time am not taking any of your excuses…" Ginny said as she held the book down from Hermione's face, trying to get her attention

"Ginn…I was reading that…"

"Oh really? Then tell me what were you reading?" Ginny

"Potions…" Hermione said in confidence not knowing what she really was reading about

"Yeah right! Then how come this book says Transfiguration?" Ginny said as she pointed to the cover of the book

"Big deal? So am not able to concentrate on my studies at the moment…" Hermione said as she backed away from the couch and heading to the balcony

"Mione, I only want to talk…after all…" Ginny said as she followed Hermione into the balcony

"I know Ginn…I know you only want to be there for me…but right now…I kind of don't feel like talking…I hope you understand…" Hermione said as she starred at the ground

"Yeah, I understand you Mione, just know that am here when you need me…" Ginny said as she gave Hermione a hug and went back inside, leaving her to her thoughts, as the wind blew through her face and hair her heart ran fast she knew something was coming and it isn't good at all, when she was about to go in something went through her head, as she fell to her knees "Harry…be safe" she said to herself as tears rolled down her eyes
