Chapter 5
The truth was, Hermione was terrified of heights. She hated it as much as she could possibly hate anything or anyone. Yes, anyone.
She looked over at the broom the twins were pointing at. The broom was just standindthere. It looked safe, but in Hermione's eyes it was the key to ultimate death. Y'know, Having your best friend playing Qudditch since first year wasn't the ultimate friendship. It wasn't that she hated Quidditch, in fact she would have liked it...it instead of batting balls in the air it would be on safer dry ground. In first year Harry almost got dropped from his broom by his own broom. Second year he got his arm broken by a Quaffle and 'fixed' by Gilderoy Lockhart himself, and actually got it fixed by Mrs. Pomfrey. Third year actually dropped about 50 feet and hit the ground, not to mention the only thing left from his broom was pieces. Fourth year...wow...probably nothing bad from Quidditch, as well as fifth year.
She looked back at the twins,
"You want me to get on that?" she asked them pointing at the broom and herself
"Yeah, why not. In fact if you think that one is not secure enough, you could use mine or George's" said Fred pointing at his brother
"Or what Hermione? Are you scared of heights? Are you a chicken?" Fred asked, but it sounded more like a statement then a question
This drove Hermione bananas. She couldn't let anyone know that she was scared of heights nor saying that she was a chicken!
"You two are so rude! Of c-course I'm not scared of heights. I-I'm just..." she said looking for something in her mind "I'm just trying to see if I could act as wellas people say"
The two twins looked at each other then at her then back at each other. She looked at them and rolled her eyes. They didn't believe her...of course they didn't belive her. She shot her nose up in the air and walked over to the broom. She snatched it from the tree it was resting on, and put her leg over it. She breathed deeply as she felt her heart beat louder and faster. She was probably going to fall off, but she could think of something weird that could've 'happened'. She kicked the floor as slowly as she could. She closed her eyes and breathed deeply. She felt the broom go up as slowly as she had kicked it before. She leaned a little bit toward the stick of the broom and it went faster. Too fast. Hermione squealed when she opened her eyes and saw the floor below her. She looked up and saw Harry and Ron still above her loking at her.
When she finally reached them, after a lot of near deathexperiences (which was a lie...but not according to Hermione), she let out a breath she didn't know she had been holding. After al that screaming who would have any air left on their lungs? Anyways, she looked at them, and they looked at her. This stare continued for about ten more seconds, before Hermione chuckled and they all laughed.
"Was it easy?" Ron asked her taking a deep breath
Hermione rolled her eyes and turned to Harry.
"I need to talk to you" she simply said
"Ok...follow me" he said moving away from Ron and the twins who were now up in the air with their brooms
Hermione followed him, or at least tried, until he stopped about 50 feet away from the Weasleys. He turned around and smiled at her trying to stop her broom safely. When she finally stopped, she looked at him and smiled.
"Well?" he said raising his eyebrows
"Oh...errr...oh yes! Ginny...she...uuhh" she started
"I don't care" he simply spat out, this made Hermione frown and he continued, "See, she even had the guts to tell you to come talk to me!"
"How is that so bad?" she said blushing slightly
"She could've come herself to talk to her boyfriend!" he said and Hermione looked away a little hurt, "But, let me correct that. Her ex-boyfriend" he said making her turn to him suddenly causing her neck to crack
"What? She told me you were going to break up with her"
"Well she's right then! I wasn't going to stay with her after what she did to me" he said whispering furiously
"Wait...what did she do?" she asked flying next to him (A/N: It feels so funny to even write that!)
"Oh right! She didn't tell you of course!" he said but got cut off by Hermione
"No but can you tell me?" she said getting closer to him
"Well maybe if you let me!" he screamed as she mumbled under her breath a simple 'sorry'
"Well, she told me we were going to have a 'romantic dinner tonight after everyone went to sleep. So I started imaging it-" he said but stopped to look at her
"Harry? What exactly were you imagining?" Hermione asked backing away to her starting position in front of him
"Well..."
"Well?"
"Well, I am a guy, Hermione" he said using something similar to what Ron used on the fourth grade
"I've noticed that, thank you for reminding me" she said smiling
"Well, so we had discussed we would have it that night," he said as Hermione almost chocked on her own saliva, but motioned him to continue, "well, so yeah...we had planned this at the starting of this week...and she just blew it off! Like if it was something so unimportant!" he said raising his hands up in the air
"Is that all? You are going to break up with her because she didn't want to have...it...with you!?" she screamed making the other boys around them turn to them
"Well, but it wasn't just like th-" he tried to say but got cut off by Hermione
"Is that all you boys care about!? Sex?!"she said making the other boys approach them with a confused look
"Harry, mate, are you planning to cheat on Ginny to have sex with Hermione?" Fred said pointing at her
Her mouth dropped wide open. Tears tingling in her eyes.
"You boys are perves!" she screamed choking back the tears
"No...you don't get me 'Mione!" Harry said looking at her
"What don't I get?" she said quckly wiping a single tear from her cheek, luckly no one noticed
He looked over at the other boys and with his eyes told them to leave. They left with a huff and an eye roll. Harry rolled his eyes and shook his head at them.
"Well?" Hermione said crossing her arms in front of her.
"It's not that. It's the thought that counts! I mean she said it like if she didn't even want to be with me! She even said it!" he said trying not to scream
"Are you sure?" she said looking at him carefully trying to spot hints of him lying
'Why in the world am I helping them get together?! That's it! I am so going to make this relationship last no longer...'she mentally kicked herslef
"Yes, I am sure!" he said a little quieter
She looked at him trying to think of what to say next, because it had to be good enough to fool anyone.
"Well, she didn't say that" she simply said and flied down, or tried to fly down, to the floor
Harry quickly followed her. She looked back at him before reaching the ground. After she set her broom down she felt a little dizzy because of being so much time up in the air. She ignored the feeling and walked, smiling, to Their Hiding Spot. She could feel Harry approaching her. He grabbed her wrist slightly and spun her around slowly.
"What did she say?" he asked her letting go when she snatched her hand back unsuccessfully
"So you do care about 'whatever she says'?" she responded using quotation marks in the air
"Well, yes because-" he said but stopped when Hermione put a hand in front of her
"I don't need any explanations...because...I am not your girlfriend...right?" she said
'Oh God am I acting good? Is he buying every single word I'm saying? Or is he just going to dissme off and tell me to tell the truth?' these questions were racing in her mind as quickly as you could say yes or no.
--
"What did she say?" Harry asked her letting go when she snatched her hand back unsuccessfully
"So you do care about 'whatever she says'?" she responded using quotation marks in the air
"Well, yes because-" he said but stopped when Hermione put a hand in front of her
"I don't need any explanations...because...I am not your girlfriend...right?" she said
'What? What in the world is she talking about? Is she telling me that I'm an idiot for not asking her out instead of Ginny? Because if it is that, it wasn't my fault Ginny kissed me on our sixth year...'
"Hermione what are you talking about?" he managed to spit out
Instead of saying anything she rolled her eyes and walked where she was walking before. Harry followed her as quickly as he could. He grabbed her wrist forcefully but this time without letting go.
"Answer me" he said almost in a whisper
Hermione didn't say anything back. Instead she kept trying to break free from his grasp. He rolled his eyes and pulled her closer to him. He shook her a little.
"Hermione tell m-"
"Let go of me!" she said wiggling in his arms
"Not until you tell me" he simply said
He crossed his arms in front of him, still holding her wrist. So her hand was intertwined between his chest and both of his arms. She wiggled as much as she could. After deciding that she should stop trying she turned to him.
"Fine! But let go of me!" she screamed almost to his ear
As soon as he let go of her, she quickly grabbed her wrist between her hands and massaged it slowly. He looked at her in a questioning look and she rolled her eyes, and turned away at tuth Hhe same time.
"Well she said that she knew you were going to break up withher but didn't know when...so I told her why, and she told me because you called her a-...the b-word" she said adding a little spice to the truth
"What?! I have never ever called her that!" he said running a hand through his hair
Hermione turned around and kicked the ground accidentaly, this move brought Harry's attention back to her. He looked at her suspiciously...making her look at him with the same look.
"Hermione?...Are you...by any chance...lying to me?" he asked her, his friend was never a good liar
"Ahh...no...no, no! Of course not! Wh-why would y-you say th-that?" she said looking away
"I don't know...maybe because..." he said looking around, but the next part he said it so fst he even used his fingers to count it off, "you stutter when you lie, you don't look at me when you lie, and you simply don't know how to lie"
"Harry you are a Silly Billy" she said fake laughing
"Tell me the truth Hermione! Are you lying to me?!" he screamed looking at her in the eye
There was about a five second pause that seemed to go on for hours. Harry didn't know if she was lying or saying the truth. Her face showed no emotions, but hurt. She shrugged it off and raised an eyebrow.
"Maybe..." she mumbled
"Maybe?" he asked her crossing his arms
"Fine! Yes I lied to you! She only said that she knew you were going to break up with her!" Hermione screamed
"Why did you lie to me?!" he asked pointing at himself
"Because I didn't want you to go off everytime and kiss her like if it was the last time! Because I didn't want you to say she was your girlfriend! Because I didn't want her to have you!" she screamed anger flowing through her veins
"You lied to me because you were jealous of your own friend!?" he screamed at her
"I was jealous because...because I didn't want you to be her Harry!" he looked truly confused so she continued, "I wanted you to be my Harry!Not anyone elses'! MINE!" she screamed walking off to the tree that was in Their Hiding Spot
Harry looked confused and thoughts came in and out of his mind as he stared into the nowhere. Whenhe realized what he was doing and how he was just standing there. He ran after her. When he reached her she was just sitting down facing the tree and staring at it, as if it were going to give her everything she wanted. She started at it with such intensity that it gave Harry the chills.
When he reached her, he stood in between the tree and Hermione sideways. He looked at her looking at the tree. It was so annoying that he decided to stare at the tree to. Maybe it was going to give him some sort of an answer...hey! After all it was a wand he used!
"Hermione?" he asked squatting in front of where she was sitting
No answer.
"Hermione?"
Still no answer.
"Hermion-"
"What!?" she said getting up and turning around from him
"What did you mean back there?" he asked looking at her back
"Never mind! Forget I said anything Harry!" she said still not facing him
"I WON'T FORGET IT! Tell me what the bloody hell did you mean back there?!"
He had screamed at her. He had screamed at her like never before. His screaming at her this way surprised him. But he wasn't the only one surprised. Hermione spun around in her heels so fast she almost lost balance and almost fell. Her brows furrowed at once.
"Well?! Answer me!" he screamed
This made her close her eyes and wrap her arms around her body and turned around again. Ignoring him with anger.
"Hermione! Turn around and tell me what y-!" he said but got cut off by Hermione
"STOP BLOODY SCREAMING AT ME!!" she said turning around and revealing tears running through her face
"But-"
"I don't care! And to answer your bloody question I meant everything I said back there! Wether you like it or you don't!" she said walking towards him
But Harry noticed this quick and moved away from her. Turns out she wasn't going to hit him or anything similar, she just kept walking away from him. He turned around and followed her.
After racing up to her he grabbed her by the arm, spun her around, and pinned her against a tree. She avoided his look in any way possible, but his face was so close to hers, it made it almost impossible. She stopped trying to look away, to hit him, or kick him. He looked at her and hissed the next,
"What do you mean?"
"Do you really want to know?" she asked hissing back and looking at him
"Yes" he hissed
"Really?"
"Really"
"Don't say I didn't warn you"
The next happened so fast that Harry didn't have time to react. Hermione pressed her lips against his really hard. It suprised Harry but he kissed her back. She was kissing him with fury, passion and love. She hated that she had fallen for him. Not only 'The Boy Who Lived', but her best friend. Hermione ran a hand through his hair and when she got to the neck she pulled his hair back. When she did this he pulled forcefullyout of the kiss wincing in pain. She smiled a twisted smile at him, but he smiled back. This time she let go of his hair and pulled him into a more soft kiss. He responded to this quickly and forced his tongue into her mouth. They played and danced together for a while before Hermione pulled away frowning.
"Oh my God! No! No let go of me!" she said
She got away from him and started running away from him towards the burrow. She ran while more tears stung her eyes. When she got to the burrow, she finally looked back, but thankfully she didn't see Harry. She felt her lips hot but ignored them and entered the burrow. When she entered seh found every Weasley in the living room having a nice chat. When she entered the room everyone turned to her.
"Hermione! There you are dear! Where were you?" Mrs. Weasley asked
"Now, now, Molly! Don't mind her business" said Mr. Weasley
"Hermione, where's Harry?" asked a nervous Ginny, "Did you talk to him?"
Hermione's eyes fell to the floor, and she grew a sudden interest in her flip-flops. She shuffled her feet nervously thinking of an answer.
"Uhhh...he...err"
"I'm here" everyone turned around and saw Harry
"There he is! I told him what you told me to tell him and he didn't break up with you Ginny" she said in a whisper to her friend
Ginny smiled and threw herself to Harry. Harry hugged her back and smiled, but Hermione saw this. He had smiled at her, she turned away and went to Ginny's room.
"'Mione, aren't you gonna stay?" Ron asked her
"I-I'll be right back...I...uh need to get something from the room" she said half smiling at him
"OK then. See ya" he said going back to the conversation the they were all having before
When she was going up stairs she felt something on her arm. It was like a snake crawling. It hurt, and it made her feel dizzy enough to notice she wasn't feeling well. She turned around and looked at the people sitting in the living room. They weren't noticing anything.
'It has to be it...I have got to go somewhere safe where they can't find me...' Hermione thought
She walked dizzly to the burrow's door. When she tried to open it she felt the crawling go deeper in her skin. It felt as if a snake were crawling in with all its might. She felt her knees giving up on her, and tried harder to open the door but failed.
"Do you need help with that 'Mione?" asked Ginny looking at her weird
"Um...y-yess pleasse" she had hissed her 's's which made Ginny frown as she opened the door
"Hermione, I thought you were going to go to the room" said Ron
"Made up my mind" she said and with that walked outside
She walked outside with her knees trembling as she thought where she could go.
"I can't go to Our Hiding Spot...anyone could find me there" she said "Maybe muggle London, I might be able to apparate to Diagon Alley and walk to muggle London"
She went as far away from the burrow as fast as her legs could possibly let her. She winced here and there about the pain that something was crawling. She wanted to take the bandages away from her arm but it was too risky. When she thought she couldn't go any further she concentrated on a certain store on Diagon Alley to apparate.
'Stupid! I don't need to go to muggle London...I just need to apparate there...I know he'll be there' She thought still concentrating
--
After apparating in a Dark Magic store in Diagon Alley, she wondered around for a while there. The store owner was watching her every move carefully. She could feel his cold gaze upon her back, and she didn't like it. Right when she was sure the man was going to ask her something, she heard the door open. She swung her head to find Draco looking at her.
She walked dizzly over to him. She gave him a sheepishly smile and he gave it back. He went over closer to her and hugged her, she hugged him back.
"I missed you" he said into her hair
"I miss me too" she mumbled
OK...I think it was a little shorter, but good. What do you guys think? Short? Lomg? Oh and the Dark Mark she wasn't supposed to feel it yet, but I started thinking about it...then she is not going to be so used to it...so she might as well feel it now. Plus in the next chapter you will now why she felt it. After reading the part with Fred and George, I thought Hermione and the twins were a little closer then they are in the movies or the books especially. But don't think wrong, there is nothing going to happen between these three...not that I know of. Well I will upload sooner...I don't know when, since I am starting school next week and on Friday I have my Freshman Orientation...Oh well...
