RON'S PERSPECTIVE
"What!" I shout. "How could she? She admitted to liking me on the train. She couldn't just come crawling over to you all of a sudden!"
Harry gives a smug smile that I want to slap off his face. "She did. She said it just some time ago, 'Harry, oh, Harry! You're the one I want, not Weasley.'"
I growl and pull out my wand. "Liar!"
He continues to smirk. "No. Just accept it Ron. Katie likes me. You're just not good enough for her."
Suddenly, it's all too much. Tears burn my eyes and I'm forced to turn around.
"It's okay, Ron. You can cry." Harry says. I can still hear the smugness in his voice.
Then there's a click and footsteps on the stairs. I'm not sure who it is, but then there's a hand on my shoulder. "Ron? What's wrong?" Katie says next to me.
I turn to her. Tears are still in my eyes and I can see the shock on her face. She's about to ask something when I stop her, "Don't. I don't want to hear whatever stupid crap you give me about caring. You don't care for me you care for him. I'm obviously not good enough for you."
Tears have left my eyes but now I see they're in hers. All to late I realize my mistake. She doesn't love Harry; Harry was just playing me. How could I have been so stupid? "No! Katie wait! I-I didn't mean it. Wait! Come back!" Katie goes racing off into the girls' dormitory with tears falling down her face.
Katie turns around at the top of the stairs. Tears shine on her face. "No, Ron. You meant every word." I collapse on the floor as she closes the door behind her.
HARRY'S PERSPECTIVE
So the outcome didn't exactly go as planned since Katie came down, but hey, Ron blew up at her. What I really didn't want, were the tears streaming down her face. I've never seen Katie cry before, but I heard she did when I blew up earlier this year. It seems to me that her tears are caused by me.
Ron looks at me. "How could you?"
"I don't know. I wanted to hurt you, not Katie." I answer.
"Well, Katie's obviously hurt!" Ron shouts.
"You don't think I noticed? What's worse is I caused her to hurt!" I yell at him.
"You caused her pain before! Don't you remember the incident after the troll?" Ron yells back.
I turn my head away. "I know. I've regretted it ever since and it nearly killed me that she got close to you!"
Ron sighs.
"What happened?" Hermione comes up from her study corner in the room.
"We had a fight, some words were exchanged between Ron and Katie and Katie is now upset and crying in her room." I answer. Ron just bows his head in shame.
"Again?" Hermione doesn't seem surprised. "You guys just can't stop fighting can you?" She turns and heads up the doors
KATIE'S PERSPECTIVE
I ran immediately to my bed when Ron started his yelling spree. I know Ron was played but I can't forgive him for some reason and it hurts.
There's a click and I already know it's Hermione. "Katie? Are you all right?"
"No." My voice is faint "It hurts Hermione." I keel over in the pain I'm imagining in my chest.
"Heartbreak." She whispers to herself. Then she leaves and flips through a book on her bed stand. She sighs in frustration then leaves the room.
HERMIONE'S PERSPECTIVE
I go to Fred and George who I see talking with their ol' pal, Lee Jordan.
"Hey. I need to speak with you." I look at Fred and pull him away from the group. Out of the twins, I know Katie is closest with Fred. "Katie is suffering. Do you think you can get Ron and Harry distracted while I get Katie to Madame Pomfrey?"
"And what do you think Madame Pomfrey can do?" Fred asks. Oh, yeah. There's no potion that can help heartbreak.
"Then, can you help her get over it? She's suffering, Fred! You're one of the few people who haven't turned on her! She needs you!" I whisper fiercely. I can see Ron and Harry try to listen in.
"What's she suffering from?" Fred asks in the same hushed voice.
I look around to see if there are eavesdroppers. "Heartbreak."
Fred seems shocked. He just looks at me. "George!" He yells to his brother. They look at each other and share this weird brother moment before George nods. "Okay. I'll be in my room. Girls can enter the boys' dormitories. Bring her to me."
I nod in return then head off to fetch Katie.
KATIE'S PERSPECTIVE
There's a click and Hermione enters the room again.
"Hey! Katie, come with me." she says trying to pull me up.
"What? Where are you taking me?" I ask quietly.
"Fred." She whispers. Instantly I pull back The last person I wanted to see was a Weasley.
"No." I say firmly but quietly.
"Katie, Fred wants to see you. He's the next closest friend you have." She gives me a sad smile.
"No, Hermione. My next closest friend is you." I don't look at her.
"Then Fred is next in line. Now, c'mon Katie. Come see Fred." She pulls me up and I oblige.
We walk for about two minutes before entering the boys' dormitory. Hermione opens the door, pushes me inside, and leaves while closing the door. I'm now stuck in here with Fred.
"Katie. Are you all right? I'm so worried about you." Fred says pulling me into a massive hug. I hug him back. I can't stand it anymore and tears flow out of my eyes. Fred pulls away. "Katie? Katie! Are you okay? Why are you crying?"
I shake my head. I can't bear to give my problems to anybody.
"Katie, I need you to tell me so I can help you."
"Heartbreak." I whisper. For a moment I think he couldn't even hear me.
"Oh, Katie." Fred pulls me into another hug.
"Fred." I murmur. I hug him back.
FRED'S PERSPECTIVE
I've never seen Katie so beaten up before. It kills me to see her this way. When she pulls away from my hug, I'm reluctant to let her go, but when she smiles at me and says it's okay, I have to let her go. I practically beg her to stay with me but she won't have it.
She just leaves.
