Ron and Harry were circling each other. Hermione clicked her tongue at them and stepped in the middle. "Grow up Ron!" she pushed Ron back into the chair, he was glaring at Harry who was still reluctant to lower his wand.
"What is going on?" Harry asked.
"Ron, please, it is not Harry. There is no-one else yet… I just don't feel the same anymore."
"But we are good together." Ron sighed putting his head in his hands. Hermione sat on the arm of the chair beside him and put her arm around his shoulder.
"We were good together."
"That was the hardest thing I think I have ever had to do." She sighed, "it broke his heart and nearly caused a huge fight." Draco put his arm around her and took a sip from his butterbeer.
"You have me now, and nothing is ever going to come between us." He smiled at her and then kissed her cheek.
Harry awoke, he could hear Ron sobbing to himself. He didn't want to go over as he knew Ron had waited till he knew the others were asleep, and didn't want to cause him any embarrassment. He heard Ron moving and closed his eyes pretending he was asleep. Ron walked straight past Harry's bed and out of the dorm door. Harry lay there staring at the dark ceiling for a while until he heard someone shouting. The lights around the dorm were lit and everyone was awake, the noise was coming from the common room. Everyone got out of their beds and headed down the staircase where they saw Ron on his knees at the bottom of the staircase to the girls dorm, begging Hermione to take him back. Lavender was standing at the top shaking her head at him.
"Get Hermione!" he wailed.
"I
have told you Ronald, she hasn't come back yet." She explained.
"I need to tell her that I love her, I will take her back, I
forgive her."
"She isn't here!" Lavender shouted and turned back to go into the dorm. By now Ron had attracted quite a crowd, they were all just standing staring as Ron lay on the floor crying. Harry stepped forward and picked him up off the floor.
"Do you lot have nothing better to do!" he yelled and the crowd started to move. Harry dragged Ron over to one of the arm chairs and sat him in it.
"Are you ready to talk?" said Harry sitting down beside Ron.
"There is nothing to talk about." Ron pulled his knees up to his chin and hid his face. Harry stared into the fireplace, and put his arm around Ron's shoulder.
"I know that you and Hermione aren't together anymore, but it is not the end of the world Ron. You will find someone else, a lot of things have happened in these last few months Ron, I just think she has changed."
"But I love her!" Ron said looking up at Harry. "I breathe my ever breath for her. I feel as if my heart has been ripped out of my chest and thrown into that fire." He said gesturing towards the common room fire. "I don't feel like going on with my life." Ron got to his feet and walked out of the common room. Harry sighed and went for a bath.
