Chapter 3:

An Unfortunate Request

Dear Diary,

.

Sometimes I may seem a little nervous or even uncontrolled. But please don't judge me based on that, Diary. This is not who I actually am; it's just that I may occasionally lose control because I sometimes have really good reasons to do so.

I don't know what happened to me or why I ever did what I did. But I did do it. I didn't give a thought to my attitude and yes, I've called upon the worst person who I could ever call. God, I've gone mad! Maybe I am a person who enjoys suffering.

Right now, I am sitting in the shade of a tree near the lake. It is so calm here. It's just what I need after a terrible day like the one I had today! The sun is going down… but that isn't what I want to tell…write.]

To begin with, my classes passed very pleasantly, I took advantage of them as I always did. I had such a good time. Besides I could reobtain 70 points for Gryffindor. Isn't that amazing?! I correctly answered all the questions in History of Magic, Transfiguration, and even Potions, though Snape did not give me any points!

Well, it all started fine, but, I'm afraid to admit that it just started well. After classes were over I headed for my precious library, bent on fulfilling my latest promises. I feel delight just seeing those thick, ancient and heavy books.

I sat down in a corner table in the edge of the room. But, when I opened up the first book I heard an irritating voice coming from behind me.

"Granger." Malfoy said softly.

Just breathe slowly in and out, in and out, Hermione. I though.

"Malfoy", I answered with a well-acted calmness and ignored him.

"Do you really think that you'll be able to recover the points of Gryffindor and keep up with Syltherin?" he inquired, sitting down in from of me. How does he dare?

"Malfoy, what I think is none of your business", I said coldly. He seemed to ignore my tone as an open smile spread across his face. I was getting very angry and I guess it was quite possible my neurons were trying to kill each other inside my head.

"Listen to me Granger", he continued, leaning closer to me. "Why don't you just give up? Leave the play, I don't want you to die of blushing in front of the school in order to be named Head Girl. You know, I'll win the bet anyway", he stated lightly amused.

I was seething in anger. That was the moment I've been waiting for. The moment when I could finally cast a Cruciatus on him. Although, a small and insignificant question was running through my head; Where the hell was my wand?!

"Get out of here Malfoy. I don't want to see you besides in the theater or when monitoring the castle",

"What? Do you want to make a fool of yourself in front of the entire school?" he asked looking expectantly at me.

At first I was shocked! But then a thought occurred to me. That was my turn to grin. "Are you worried about me, Malfoy?"

"Would you mind if I were worried about you, Granger?" Malfoy asked raising an inquisitive eyebrow at me.

It took me by surprise. I stared at him for a while, unblinking. I didn't have a clue of what he meant by that. Was that scum bag provoking me? Was he playing me? I've never heard such nonsense! Was he, that insufferable creep, worried about me? Fat chance. Loathsome worm! I didn't have the time to waste with another stupid plan of that idiot Malfoy! I stood up and stepped towards the door.

"Where are you going?" he inquired, getting up and blocking my way with rapid strides.

"Any place where I can't smell this stench of you." I declared, angry.

"I've never hear such claims before!" He said, smiling slightly and giving me a coquettish wink. It was incredible how he seemed to ignore my anger! Oh, how I hated him!

-"So don't go out with brainless girls" I let out, trying to pass without success. "Now, if you allow me..." I tried again.

Nothing. He didn't let me pass. Why Merlin is he so mean to me? I was just asking him to let me pass. It is not asking too much. But something even more disastrous happened.

"Do the girls who I go out with bother you, Granger?" He asked grabbing my arm and let out a victorious grin.

I was speechless. STRUMOUS SERPENT! Does this word exist? I don't care, I meant that scum Malfoy!

"I don't blame you for be jealous of me, Granger. I know I'm too handsome and it isn't surprisingly that another girl has falling in love with me."

"You should be surprised now!" I said, and slapped him in the face.

I think as I enter in the Common Room I must be piggybacked and gain a Nobel Prize or trophy for "Special Services to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

"Are you mad, Mudblood?" He shouted, taken back.

I couldn't help laughing.

"Malfoy, I'm NOT in love with you, and you'd better get used to it," I clenched out.

Instead of getting angry he softened his expression and then smirked at me. I wander if I haven't slapped him strong enough.

He surrounded me and I stepped back till I feel the shelves behind me.

"I'm telling you, Granger, before the end of the term you will fall in love with me, or better, you will admit that you love me!" he declared, amused.

I'll KILL THE DAMN-FOOL WHO HAD STOLEN MY WAND!

"You... great... idiot!" I hissed, but he just laughed again. "Stop laughing, you twit!" I was seeing red. He stepped backwards, still grinning.

"Mark my words, Granger!" he said lastly then turned and walked out of the library. The place that used to be my favorite.

.

I rested my diary down by my side and slouched against the tree, settling myself in. My eyes sore and I needed relax before heading for my Theater classes. His words still run through my mind. Would you mind if I were worried about you, Granger? I'm telling you, Granger, before the end of the term you will fall in love with me, or better, you will admit that you love me!

"Idiot!" I exclaimed, my eyes shut.

"I'm sorry Mione", Harry said walking away from me, kind of bemused by my behavior.

My eyes widened as I realized that I wasn't alone.

"N- no, Harry!" I spluttered. "Sorry, I was just thinking aloud...it was not about you," I managed to say but then I saw his face and got worried. "Are you ok, Harry?"

He looked down at his shoes so I asked again.

"Harry, what's going on?" I asked, scanning his face.

"Hermione... I've... I've done... something unforgivable! I don't know what happened with me... I just..." his voice trailed off.

"Calm down! Sit here near me," I said watching him. "Now, tell me what happened."

"I'm a worthless person, Hermione. I wasn't able to refrain my feelings... I... I... I love her so," he stammered.

I shuddered and filled up with pain. I heard everything I most feared. I tried valiantly to keep my tears at bay.

"Ginny", I muttered.

"Yes, Ron will...oh shit! It is not even half of the history…"

I closed my eyes, what could possibly be worse? After all the things I've gone through, I still have to experience an unrequited love. I gathered strength and continued.

"Tell me what happened, Harry," I said finally.

Flash Back:

Harry's pov

Harry was climbing the stairs looking for a certain red-haired girl who had darted away from the Common Room crying. She vanished from his sight but he knew quite well where she was going.

He walked into the Room of Requirement. Everything was silent, except the fireplace, which kept company with a crying Ginny.

"Leave me alone, Harry! I don't want to talk with anybody!" she said, hunched up, looking at the fire.

"What's going on with you?" Harry insisted and approached.

"I already told you to leave me alone," she begged.

"I can't go away! I'm worried about you," Harry tried.

"I don't want you to be worried about me. I don't need it!" she said looking down at her sensible lace-up shoes.

"So, what do you need?" Harry asked, looking straight at her.

Her gaze found his and they stared at each other for a while. Her blue eyes on his green ones. His eyes were gentle while hers were filled with hurt and bleared by thick tears.

"Just go away, Harry, please!" she said, fighting back tears.

"Just answer me one question," he said without believing in what was happening. He could feel in his bones that she was crying because of him, but it was too good to be true. He needed to hear from her. "Does it have anything to do with the fact I've kissed Lavender?" he asked, and blushed.

She looked at him, hurt at the thought of it. She stood up, trying to turn away from him with decisive steps. But that had answered his question. He kept up with her and grabbed her arm.

"Let me go, Harry! I hate you!" she exclaimed, struggling to get free of Harry's grip.

"No, you don't. You know it's not true" He said, trying to embrace her.

Ginny fell on her knees, crying as she never had before, although Harry was smiling and trying to hold her closer.

"You don't need to cry, Ginny," he whispered softly.

"How can you say that? I love my best friend and he only has eyes for that idiot blond and-" she was interrupted by his hand lifting her chin up until her eyes were staring right into his.

"I only have eyes for you! I love you, Ginny! I love you as I have never dreamed to love someone. I just went out with Lavender because I was sure I would never reach your heart. Plus, you're Ron's sister so I just thought it would be a lost cause. But now… now that you said that… you can imagine how happy I am.

"I've always loved you, Harry James Potter. I've always waited for you, but you never came to me. Don't try to deceive me with pretty words; you can't save me this time."

"All I'm asking is that YOU save me Ginevra Molly Weasley!" He leaned forward and pressed his lips to hers in answer.

He couldn't believe in what his body was experiencing with their closeness. It was an immense and uncontrollable desire. Harry pulled her closer. Their bodies lingered together and their kisses were deeper and deeper. He had bitten her lips for hours. And now they couldn't apart from each other or even think straight, both possibilities seemed absurd.

Suddenly they realized they were lying down on a bed which wasn't there before. Ginny called for Harry with her lips on his, pulling him closer. That was the only way of communication between them. Their bodies cried out from desperation to be linked.

Harry ran his hand along the tights of the red-haired girl who trembled all over just by the weight of his body on hers. He held her tight firmly with one hand and unbuttoned her blouse with the other hand.

She had already undressed his T-shirt. His already opened trousers seemed to be slipping down step by step. Ginny was wearing only her skirt and bra and Harry admired her semi-naked body for a while, afraid of never again see her like that.

"Ginny, do you really want to…?"

"I want you, Harry. Now more than everything!" she said, decided.

His lips sought hers while his able hands were unbuttoning her bra. Then he kissed her passionately and took their last clothes off. Harry slowly and gently entered cried out and groaned with him constantly. They moved in a well-synchronized motion all the afternoon until the both of them rested their exhausted bodies in each other's arms.

He caressed her again and then he planted a kiss on her forehead, snuggling her against his chest.

"I love you." Harry whispered on her ear.

"I love you too," she answered as they two fall asleep.

"WHAT? Have you slept with Ginny?" Hermione yelled, getting up.

"Shhhh. Can you just speak lower?"

"I can't believe that-" Hermione started to speak but her voice trailed off.

There was a pleading expression on her face. It was too terrible to her handle. Harry not only loved Ginny but had kissed her and slept with her. Hermione's face worked with sorrow and tears were prickling behind her eyes. She feels as if she would explode anytime, as if she would cry out.

"Hermio-" the brown-haired boy tried to say but was interrupted.

"Don't. Stop it! I don't want to hear... I couldn't possibly... Listen, Harry, I'm not feeling very well…I need to go to…" she couldn't even finish her sentence. She darted off, picking up her things, including her diary, and run across the corridors.

"Hermione, wait!"

Hermione locked herself into the first empty room she find and allow herself to cry loud and desperately, sobbing and making courses. A strong part of her, that she used to like, had been broken. And an excruciating pain emanated from her body, as IF she has been hit by several Cruciatus, all at once, and it was asphyxiating her.

Hermione couldn't go to her other classes so she tried the only thing that makes her feel better; her diary.

Dear Diary,

I've never felt so badly in my whole life. I've never ever felt such pain…

She couldn't write so she throw her diary back to her bag and run out of the room. She's stayed there for a long while and couldn't stand anymore that closed space.

She ran through the corridors of the castle without care about the glances people were casting to her. That was when she saw Ginny right ahead; she was standing there with the same worried expression as Harry.

Hermione felt her blood pressure go up, she as suffocating again. She turned around as her streamed down her face but then she into a blonde-haired-boy who held her tight, like a hug.

"Granger…what happened?" she heard his voice trailing off as his grayish-eyes fade before her. Then everything was dark.

To be continued.
