We had Defense again today- this time we had it in a classroom, discussing tactics of attack. I was already familiar with these, so I used this time to covertly study Little Miss Perfect's study habits.

I want you to know, that I'm happy for you
I wish nothing but the best for you both
An older version of me
Is she perverted like me
Would she go down on you in a theatre
Does she speak eloquently
And would she have your baby
I'm sure she'd make a really excellent mother

Cause the love that you gave that we made wasn't able
To make it enough for you to be open wide, no
And every time you speak her name
Does she know how you told me you'd hold me
Until you died, till you died
But you're still alive

What did I learn? She didn't voluntarily participate- but when she gave an answer, you could tell it was well thought-out. She was like Blaise, quietly taking notes or listening intently.

And I'm here to remind you
Of the mess you left when you went away
It's not fair to deny me
Of the cross I bear that you gave to me
You, you, you oughta know

You seem very well, things look peaceful
I'm not quite as well, I thought you should know
Did you forget about me Mr. Duplicity
I hate to bug you in the middle of dinner
It was a slap in the face how quickly I was replaced
Are you thinking of me when you fuck her

Pfft, they are perfect together. They work the same way, talk the same way- it's like they're kindred spirits.

Cause the love that you gave that we made wasn't able
To make it enough for you to be open wide, no
And every time you speak her name
Does she know how you told me you'd hold me
Until you died, til you died
But you're still alive

And I'm here to remind you
Of the mess you left when you went away
It's not fair to deny me
Of the cross I bear that you gave to me
You, you, you oughta know

Maybe I should just give up on waiting for him. It's useless, seeing Little Miss Perfect as, well, perfect. There's no way he's giving her up for a cranky, short, bushy-haired Gryffindor.

Cause the joke that you laid on the bed that was me
And I'm not gonna fade
As soon as you close your eyes and you know it
And every time I scratch my nails down someone else's back
I hope you feel it...well can you feel it

And I'm here to remind you
Of the mess you left when you went away
It's not fair to deny me
Of the cross I bear that you gave to me
You, you, you oughta know

I blew a stubborn bit of hair out of my eyes and got to work.

Ron and I had a bit of a spat, and before we could resolve it I stomped out of his and Harry's dormitory. It was so ridiculous! He was talking to his classmates, and after I was introduced I decided to go ahead into the dormitory.

"Hermione, what did you do that for?" he asked angrily.

"Do what Ron?" I asked, brow furrowed.

"Oh you know what you did! Why didn't you stay there with me?"

"Oh, while you were talking with your friends? Well, I decided that since you had already introduced me, there was no need to stick around," I said defiantly.

"Well, you were supposed to stay with me! Didn't you think of how stupid I looked alone? Will you remember that next time?" he said, getting in my face.

Being Hermione, I didn't back down.

"I'm not a trophy girlfriend Ron! I wish you knew that, and that I'm not bloody Lavender!"

I stormed out without a backward glance.

"Hermione-" he called, but I quickened my pace and soon, broke into a run to my dormitory.

Just what does he think I am, a doll on display? We've been best friends for seven years and that's what he thinks of me?! He's mental!

When I entered our dormitory, I slammed the door so hard that Faye jumped.

"What's wrong, honey bunny?" she asked me.

Don't bother asking about the honey bunny thing.

"Ron feels I should stick by his bleeding side all the TIME!" I said angrily.

"Well, you know.. he's being possessive; he's been waiting a long time for you, and now that you guys are together he doesn't want to let you go," she explained, sitting down beside me on our sofa and rubbing my back.

"Of all the things I can take, this is the one thing I cannot," I told her. "I don't like this, feeling like I'm something to be owned."

"Why don't you tell him then?" she asked wonderingly.

"Ron's Ron," I said simply.

She looked at me questioningly, but I shook my head.

"Let it go," I told her. "It'll be better in the morning."

As I turned out the lights before going to bed, Faye asked me something.

"Hermione?"

"Hm?" I asked as I climbed into bed.

"Was.. Blaise like that with you?" she asked, lying sideways on her bed, facing me.

"What are you talking about?" I asked her, sitting up.

"It's pretty much obvious that you two had been together before you and Ron.. you really hadn't?! I thought you just weren't telling me!" she gasped at my shake of the head.

"We hadn't.. and no, he didn't act like that around me. He'd show it in other ways though, but not like that with Ron," I said slowly.

"I just wanted to know," Faye said, settling into bed. "Thanks Hermione, and goodnight."

"Goodnight," I said before falling straight asleep.
