"Do you always have to be so critical?" asked Harry after Beth had criticized his attempt of a potion.
"I didn't mean to," replied Beth upset. "I was just trying to help you. God damn it, that's all I was doing. And do you always have to a freakin asshole?"
Beth ran off from Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Marissa.
"She was right Harry," spoke Hermione first. "She was just pointing some things out. And you are an asshole, but not all the time."
"You're agreeing with her?" asked Harry surprised.
"Yes," replied Hermione. "Come on Marissa let's go make sure she is okay."
"Can you believe that," said Harry after Hermione and Marissa left. "Hermione just agreed with Beth."
"Um…" said Ron unsure of what to say.
"You agree don't you?" asked Harry. "What did I do?"
"Yes I agree," said Ron nervously. "You are really harsh. Actually it seems like you always are mean to her. You've been that way since you met her. It's like you resent her for no reason."
"She has no right," replied Harry. "It's not like we are family, so she couldn't and even id she was she still wouldn't be able to be critical."
"What the hell did I ever do to him," asked Beth as soon as Hermione and Marissa came in. "I was just trying to be freakin helpful. He was doing the damn potion wrong anyways. And I just saved his ass from receiving a zero. He could've thanked me instead."
"You have a point," said Hermione. "But, you also got to remember that Harry has been independent his whole life. He had to find ways to survive with the Dursleys."
"Yea, I guess that's true," replied Beth. "But he always asks you for help on homework or asks you to see if something is right and he never gets pissed off at you. It's like he has some sort of resentment towards me."
"She's defiantly right, Hermione," spoke Marissa in agreement. "He only gets pissed off at her."
Um, well we are in agreement…" spoke Hermione hesitantly. Could we declare a truce? I'm sick of us fighting because you cut in on me or I cut in on you. Could we maybe become friends?"
"I'm sick of fighting, too," replied Beth. "And yes to the truce and friendship, on two conditions. One, you have to become friends with Marissa too. And two, you gotta help us figure out what the hell is Harry's problem with me."
"Agreed," replied Hermione.
"Agreed," replied Marissa.
The three girls then walked out of the dormitory due to the fact it was dinner time. Beth and Harry did not speak to each other throughout dinner and continued that for two months.
