Chapter 11: A Sort of Love Shape.
"Hermione, are you alright?" Harry asked
"Yeah," Hermione sighed, "I'm fine."
"Well," Harry smiled "Do you think dancing would help?"
"We already danced Harry, I'd rather not."
"Maybe we could dance again?" Harry suggested.
"I guess so…" Hermione sighed and Harry took her to dance. She slowly wrapped her hands around his wrist and he put his hands on her waist. Hermione blushed and Harry abruptly raised his hands.
All the world just stopped now
So you say you don't wanna stay together anymore
Let me take a deep breath babe
If you need me
Me and Neil'll be hangin' out with the dream king
Neil says hi
By the way I don't believe you're leaving
Cause me and Charles Manson like the same ice cream
I think it's that girl
And I think there're pieces of me you've never seen
Maybe she's just pieces of me you've never seen well
All the world is all I am
The black of the blackest ocean
And the tear in your hand
All the world is dangin'...
Dangling'...Danglin' for me darlin'
You don't know the power that you have
With that tear in your hand
Tear in you hand
Maybe I ain't used to maybes
Smashing in a cold room
Cutting my hands up every time I touch you
Maybe maybe it's time to wave goodbye now
About midway through the song, Hermione broke apart from Harry.
"I'm sorry Harry," Hermione said not looking him in the eye. "I need a minute."
Before Harry said anything, Hermione turned and ran out of the Great hall. A few people turned and looked at Harry, but then went back to their own business.
"Potter looks hurt." Blaise said nudging Pansy. He, Pansy and Ginny had seen the whole thing from Pansy's "DJ stand"
"I know," Pansy said, absolute sincerity in her voice, "He looks so sad…"
Ginny had been silent the whole time and clung to Blaise's arm.
Finally Ron found Hermione in the Gryffindor common room staring out the window.
"Are you okay 'Mione?" he asked sitting down next to her.
"Yeah… I'm just feeling a little different..." Hermione replied gloomily.
"That's understandable," Ron said staring her in the face.
"You know don't you?"
"I found the recipe for Contentus Amor under your bed."
"Your not mad are you?"
"No, but Harry might be."
"HARRY KNOWS!" Hermione screeched
"No, but what he thinks is almost worst."
"How?"
"He thinks your cheating on him."
"With who?"
"Blaise Zabini."
"WHAT THE HELL!"
"Okay I made that up, he doesn't know but it really kills him."
"Shit."
"Hermione," Ron said moving towards his friend, "I think you should break up with Harry."
"But-"
"Hermione, I know you care about Harry… so do I, probably more."
"Ron! How dare you-!"
"No 'Mione not like that… It's more like… well…."
"Wait a minute." Hermione said sitting up, "Ron, are you gay?" Ron face became the famous Weasley red, matching his hair perfectly.
"Oh my god I'm right aren't I!"
"Aren't you always?" Ron sighed.
"You love Harry!"
"I think we established that." Ron and Hermione stared at each other for about five seconds and then burst into laughter. Then Hermione calmed down and stood up.
"Where are you going?" Ron asked
"To break up with Harry, you wanker!" Hermione said in a voice to happy for the occasion.
"So this is it?" Harry sighed looking at the ground.
" I guess." Hermione mumbled looking away miserably. She couldn't bear to see Harry face.
"Y'know Hermione," Harry said calmly " I'm not really sure how long this is supposed to last, but I think I'm over you."
"Oh?" Hermione asked, raising an eyebrow
"Yeah it's a little weird, I also feel kind of dizzy."
"Harry, I want you to know that I would be pretty insulted if I didn't have a suspicion of what's really going on."
"Well then what's really going on?"
"Contentus Amor."
"What?"
"Remember the love potion we made last year?"
"What does that have to do with anything?"
"I think someone slipped it to you."
"Your right!" Harry gasped" Maybe someone likes me and someone else loves them and they know about the other person liking me so they made me fall for you so they could get the other person!" ( A/N: That was supposed to be confusing)
"What?" Hermione asked giving Harry a squinty look.
"Basically maybe we're part of some sort of love shape that we don't even know about."
"Okay…" Hermione laughed, Harry joined her and another song started.
"Wanna dance?" Hermione asked
"As friends?"
"Duh." The two laughed and re-entered the great hall and danced.
Could you whisper in my ear
The things you want to feel
Ill give you anything
To feel it comin'
Do you wake up on your own
And wonder where you are
You live with all your faults
I wanna wake up where you are
I won't say anything at all
So why don't you slide
Yeah were gonna let it slide
Don't you love the life you killed
The priest is on the phone
Your father hit the wall
Your ma disowned you
Don't suppose I'll ever know
What it means to be a man
Something I can't change
I'll live around it
I wanna wake up where you are
I won't say anything at all
So why don't you slide
And I'll do anything you ever
Dreamed to be complete
Little pieces of the nothing that fall
Oh ,man put your arms around me
What you feel is what you are
And what you are is beautiful
Oh, man do you wanna get married
Or run away
