"He's just been avoiding me all week! I don't know what to do. Ever since...uh, oh um...nevermind."

"Ever since what, Dean?"

It was amazing how that girl could get things out of you without you even realizing it.

"Oh, nothing, Hermione. It was nothing."

She gave me that look. She knew I was lying. Merlin, I hate that girl!

"it's just...Well, it seemed...as if...he was coming on to me...but it's Seamus! I mean, he was joking...But then I accidentally--and he--and I told him, I didn't mean it like that--but he--didn't--and then--he walked away... And hasn't spoken to me since."

She was nodding her head.

"I expected something like that."

How in the world did she know what I was talking about?? I mean, even I could tell that that made no sense.

"Bloody hell, Hermione! How do you do that?!"

She just gave me a knowing look.

"You need to talk to him." And with that, she left.

"Uhhhhh!" I groaned and flopped backwards on the sofa.
