(A/N: EndlessChains once again. I'm so sorry I haven't updated Conundrum yet, but finals started and I'm getting hammered with homework. I'll be more regular after the next two days, and I'll probably have the next chapter up by the weekend.
Also, REVIEW! More reviews equal happy author, times suggestions plus more chapters squared!)
SLIGHT CONUNDRUM SPOILERS!

Harry Potter had a jealous streak a mile wide.
Hermione already had and inkling of that from the way he acted whenever she was around Ron.
But ever since Victor Krum had arrived at Hogwarts, his jealousy was through the magical, star speckled roof.
ESPECIALLY since Krum was showing an interest. It was driving him insane, and though she was sure it made her a bad person, Hermione was thoroughly loving it.
"It's just an invitation to Hogsmeade, Harry." she said airily, barely keeping a full blown smile off her face. "Nothing to get worked up about."
"That's not what Pansy and Hestia made it sound like," he growled, glaring darkly at something in the middle distance.
"I thought you didn't care for gossip. It's an OUTING."
"It's a DATE!" he snapped. "With THAT guy, no less."
"What's wrong with Victor?" she asked innocently. "I know he's your competition in the tournament, but he's not really that bad." Hermione countered, holding in her laughter with no small amount of effort. "You two could talk Quidditch!"
"With that prat?!" Harry yelped, scandalized. "He threw the cup, why would I-"
"Harry," Hermione cooed, moving in for the kill. "You make it sound like... Like YOU'RE interested, or-"
The reaction was instant- he cut her off suddenly and loudly. "HA! Ha ha ha, you're, y-youre hilarious." He left quickly after that, leaving her to shake her head and smile, as she so often did nowadays.
