Hey, Diary!

Chapter 12 - Yelling and a realisation for Harry

"What? Ron! What the hell are you…?"

"Me? You! You're the one with some guy and haven't been speaking to us!"

"Ron, calm down, it's not what it looks like."

"It isn't! How can you say that! You're supposed to be our friend and you didn't tell us you were dating this guy!"

"Excuse me, I do exist," Sirius interrupted Ron's outburst.

"You know what? Shut up and keep out of this, it has nothing to do with you," Ron shot back. "Hermione, how could you do this to us?"

"To you? To you!" Hermione looked livid. "How dare you come in here and start yelling at me? This has nothing to do with you so keep your grubby little nose out of my business!"

"Who are you?" Harry asked Sirius quietly, blocking out the loud eruptions from both Ron and Hermione. "I've seen you somewhere before."

"Umm…it might be better if I didn't tell you. I mean, you're friend's gone over the top and he doesn't even know who I am, so it might be better if you didn't…"

"Didn't what? Know who my best friend is going out with?" Harry asked shooting a glare at Hermione, but saying nothing to her.

"Harry, it's not like that. It's just…" Hermione started but Ron cut her off.

"Just what, Hermione? Just that you don't want us mixed up in your love life? Well, I'm sorry that I want to know something important about my best friend. You know what? I don't care anymore. You are now dead to me." Ron started to walk away but a hand on his shoulder stopped him dead in his tracks.

"Don't you dare talk to Hermione like that. She deserves better from us. How can you say that when we've seen so many people die?" Harry asked, his voice shaking.

Sirius just stood there. He didn't know what was going on, what they were talking about or why Harry was so emotional. Looking at Harry, he couldn't ever imagine James acting like that, or even looking like that. Harry was so different from his father that Sirius couldn't believe it.

"Guys, I'm sorry, ok? I just didn't know how to tell you. I didn't want a situation like this. I guess by avoiding it I caused it. I'm really sorry." Hermione bowed her head, feeling ashamed. She wasn't supposed to feel like this over a guy. She wasn't supposed to be torn between her friends and a boyfriend, but she was.

"I'm sorry too, Hermione. I guess I just blew everything out of proportion. I shouldn't have. I apologise," Ron muttered to the floor.

"Now that we're all sorry for whatever mistake we made, can we get some questions answered?" Harry asked.

"I guess so," Hermione answered, glancing at Sirius.

"Are you sure? Because I don't want to ask something and not have it answered." Ron said staring at Sirius.

"I can't tell you who I am. Anything else, you can ask." Sirius answered before Hermione could say anything.

Harry stared at Hermione, before asking "How long have you been going out?"

"A week or so," Hermione answered, sitting down on the couch.

"Have you…ummm…you know?" Ron asked, suddenly very interested in his shoes.

"No!" Sirius and Hermione answered quickly. Hermione glared at Ron as Harry asked his next question.

"Where did you meet?"

"Umm… well, we met… a while ago, but didn't really start talking to each other until about two or three weeks back." Sirius replied, glancing at Hermione to make sure that his answer was appropriate.

"And how have you been talking? I've never seen you before," Ron added, thinking aloud.

"The diary," Harry answered quietly. Both Hermione and Sirius turned to him, looking astonished.

"How the hell do you know that?" Hermione hissed. Sirius placed his hand on her arm calmingly while still watching Harry. Harry shuffled nervously before answering to the floor.

"In transfiguration today I saw you writing, 'Mione, so I sort of read over your shoulder. I'm sorry, I know I shouldn't have but I wanted to know why you were acting so… odd."

"Ok, you are starting to freak me out 'cause you are nothing like Ja…" Sirius suddenly stopped talking glancing at Hermione, who looked like she was going to kill him.

Something clicked in Harry's head. He ran forward, towards Sirius, and pinned him to the wall by his throat with his left hand, his right pointing his wand at the defenceless Sirius.

"WHAT THE BLOODY HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING!" He yelled.

A/N omg! I am soooo sorry! I know I haven't updated in over a month, but I've had serious homework and coursework problems (like the fact I have any for a start, hehe lol). I know it doesn't really help that I've left a sort-of cliff-hanger but, it was written in the Great Plan. Have a great Christmas, or just general holiday and, since it is the time of good will, leave a review and tell me what you think.

Oh, and for those who told me to go for either the trip or laptop: the trip was cancelled due to lack of interest and my parents are getting me a computer, which is in my room atm without internet, though.

Lul, J
