Hermione Granger, girlfriend of Harry Potter

Girlfriend of Harry Potter

Girlfriend...

WHAT !

Ron lay in hisbunk reading the day's Daily Prophet, and sat up straight reading the second paragraph down. His heart beat erratically and his mouth felt dry. The birds flew past the window, whistling their morning call, and Ron's brow furrowed.

Well, Hermione does get on better with Harry than me. Even when Harry and I fell out a few months ago over who put his name in the Goblet (yes, I feel stupid about that now), Hermione would split her time between the both of us, but whenever she came near me, I would see the smile she shared with Harry disappear. She seems bored around me most of the time, unless Harry's there. Are they really going out? Like boyfriend and girlfriend? I would have noticed something ,wouldn't I ?

His heart sank as he thought of Hermione and Harry holding hands around him, going on dates together, kissing around him. And his heart growled. No way! They can't be, how wierd would that be?

Am I okay with it if they are ?

Well, I mean, if they both love eachother, I mean, they do get on quite well . Hermione is so much more comfortable with Harry than me. She thinks I don't see it, but I do. When ever it's just me and her, the uncomfortable look she wears, the way her eyes flick towards the door, as though she thinks she could run out of the room and wouldn't notice. Imagine what life would be like though, they'd want to spend all of their time together, leaving me out, I'd probably have to be the third wheel, the gooseberry.

But Hermione and Harry kissing ! I doubt that. Anyway, we all know Harry's got eyes for Cho Chang (a long shot if you ask me). And who gives Harry the right to go kissing Hermione, don't either of them want to ask my opinion on it? Don't they want my permission, does my view not matter at all!

I can't just sit here wandering, I need to go and see this for myself!

Ron got up, putting on his maroon jumper and his jeans, ruffling his hair, and thanking God it was Saturday as he would be considerably late for lessons, rushed down the stairs and stopped dead as he observed the Common Room.

Hermione was sitting on the comfy chair by the fire, and Harry was on the floor, leaning against it. To an outsider, they would look like a couple, right ?

"Hey" Ron said, walking over, seating himself on the sofa.

"Afternoon" Hermione replied. Ron looked at the clock, nearly lunch.

"Sorry, must have been tired"

"Well, not your up, me and Harry have to ask you something"

"Oh?" Ron swallowed. This is it! This is where our friendship goes two ways, where I will be forever alone whilst they enjoy cuddling and kissing and being together! But they aren't really that close, thought Ron as he observed. Hermione's legs were crossed, angling towards Ron, and Harry was leaning towards the fire. Still, why isn't he sitting on the sofa?

"Aren't you uncomfortable on the floor Harry?"

Harry looked up from his book "Nope, I'm good" he smiled.

"Right, well-" Hermione began

"Do you want to go to Hogsmeade later?" Ron interrupted. Hermione looked confused and she shared a glance with Harry.

"Um.. sure, Ron are you alright?"

"We wont have another one for a while, the next one falls on the last task, so I thought it would be good for us all to go is all"

"Okay, well, me and Harry were wandering..."

"Did you hear Lavender and Seamus got caught snogging in a broom cupboard by Professor McGonagall?"

"No, I didn't , now Harry and I-"

"Fred and George have started their own brand of hair care products you know, lets you grow your hair to what ever length you like just for one hour, any part of your body"

Harry laughed seeming interested "Really?"

"That's fascinating Ron, now will you please-" Hermione began

"I dont want you to say it!" he said quickly standing up, panicking.

Hermione and Harry shared a confused look once more.

"Well, honestly Ron you haven't heard our suggestions yet, you are only 15 once!"

"I - what?"

"Your birthday, its next month and me and Harry were thinking about having a small get together, maybe some cake- why do you look so surprised?"

Ron blushed and looked down at the floor. He turned and walked up to his dormitary, bringing back the daily prophet. Hermione took the newspaper, her eyes questioning, and began to read. As her eyes flickered down the page, her expression got more and more angry.

"That dreadful Rita Skeeta, she's at it again...boyfriend...honestly..."

"I was just- I mean, you two would tell me, right, if you were"

Harry and Hermione looked confused, and then Hermione started to laugh.

"Oh Ron, no offense Harry, but you really aren't my type" she guffawed once more.

Harry took the paper and read it. His eyebrows raised as he took in the second paragraph "Oh for gods- I hope Cho hasn't seen this, what's she going to think !"

"Nothing, seeing as she's Cedric Diggory's girlfriend" Hermione muttered. Harry shot her a glare "Sorry"

"Well, when you said you needed to tell me something, I thought maybe it would be this" said Ron defensively "I mean it makes sense, Cho's way out of Harry's league -"

"Hey!"

"- and you're already friends, why wouldn't you!" Ron said, his anger flaring up.

"Don't be so stupid Ron, now, are we going down to lunch seeing as you missed breakfast, or not?" Hermione said, getting a bit irritated.

"Yeah, yeah, come on then"

Harry went first, walking down the steps to the portrait, but Hermione pulled Ron back.

"Besides, Harry's way too scrawny" she said, her arm resting on Ron's arm. She squeezed lightly, Ron's eyebrows instantly shooting up.

"Oh, I get it, none of us can be bloody Viktor Krum you know, with his toned -"

"Oh shut up Ron!"

Hermione rolled her eyes. It seemed it would be a long while before he finally got the message.
