"Can you just leave me alone for two minutes!" Hermione nearly screamed, turning all of the great Hall's attention towards her.
Everyone was staring at the fuming brunette with wide eyes.
It was the first time Hermione had an public outburst like this, even McGonagall was staring shocked at her favourite students actions.
"I... I'm sorry" Hermione said to no one in particular and ran out of the great hall with tears in her eyes.
Fred was just going to follow her, got up from the table, but harry caught his hand "Fred, no. Leave her alone, she needs to be alone..." Harry said quietly.
The great hall was extremely silent, except the sniggers coming from the Slytherin.
The gryffindor's all turned and glared at them, who glared back at them with venom.
"I don't know what to do harry, She hasn't even talked to me since... since then" Fred said.
"I know, she'll come around. Give her some time" harry said equally worried for his best friend.
"And I also worried about ron, he is nowhere to be seen, the Slytherin actually guard the place, no one is letting out the information of his whereabouts"
"It's okay fred, if anything happened to your brother, then I'm sure snape will be taking actions" Harry said not even an one bit of care for the red head snake.
It had been two days since the days of Hermione levitating ron incident.
"Poor Hermione..." Harry thought.
She was actually on her way to the headmasters office on that night. But he wasn't present in his office.
Unfortunately, the incident was noted by none other than the two demons of their house snape and umbridge.
She got punished for the act of whatever that git of a red head by sacrificing her prefect badge and an reputation of bad student.
Ron weasley had not been seen since that day. He never comes to the classes not even the great hall for food.
There were many rumours that made him and fred get angry.
That Hermione actually loves ron, but she got her brother instead and got angry when she saw him with another girl.
Another one, ron was trying to rape Daphne green grass and Hermione saved the poor girl from his abuse, but got punished.
Then another was Hermione used her power as a prefect to just gets revenge on a Slytherin, that too Ron weasley, one of the main and humiliated him.
And another one and one, oh god... it goes on and on...
Since then she was a mess of emotions anger, sadness, angsty. He never so her like this.
Fred never got a chance to even sit with her, if he even touched her she snaps at him, but he is a good guy he understand what is going on.
So he let her vent it out in her own time not disturbing her, but seeing her from a distance, keeping an eyes on her like him and the rest of his house mates.
He lookes down the dining table to witness the rest of the Weasley's George and Ginny playing with their food.
He never saw those two like these, cheerless.
He know what their feelings would be like, while of the rest of his house were worried about only Hermione, they both had also to worry about Ron.
He sighed, picking his bag and marching out of this place filled with all these angsty people to his next class potions, where he knew Hermione would probably would be.
... but are you sure. Won't that be a bit for you" Umbridge asked looked quizzical.
For the umpteenth time in the last ten minutes ron took a deep breath and trying hard to be as calm as he can he replies "I'm sure Madam"
"I believe you , but are you comfortable with Granger being there"
He smirked "I'm perfectly alright with the mu... Granger there. After all it's all part of the plan, isn't it".
"Okay, you two can leave now, tonight everything will be arranged"
"Thank you" Ron said and started to walk out of umbridge office, followed closely by a scared Draco, who was watching him speechless.
In all these he watched or known ron, he never really felt like this for his best mate.
He's really outright scary now, after the incident, ron cried in his dorm room, which only he witnessed.
But on the middle of the day, he vanished and came back late in night, followed closely by Daphne, begging him to just talk to her.
The next day, he left even before the others awake and came back early morning the next day.
He don't know what to think of this, ron will not talk to anyone, even him. Draco arranged the elf to bring food for ron and he shared his notes too, poor guy humiliated by the bookworm, her nerves!
The whole Slytherin guarded his room and him, not letting any other house to talk with him. Daphne was miserable, she thinks ron and she had something. But now because of the bitch Granger, everything is gone.
He could understand with the sadness of his best mate, but what he couldn't understand is the way he had changed, the usual cheerfulness of him is gone.
Replaced by a chillness of snakes, he don't know why he changed the plans so suddenly, maybe he really don't want Daphne anymore or like he said he could have a closer look at them.
But whatever it is it's not good for the mud blood.
The potions class was going on in it's usual speed, everyone listening and not making any sounds not to lose marks or worse get a detention with him.
The door to the class opened and entered Ronald Weasley, followed by Draco Malfoy.
Snape didn't asked them anything, he just let them in.
Seamus finnigan laughed quietly at ron, while Draco sneered at him.
"10 points from gryffindor for laughing in my class"
Ron took a seat with his best mate, where to their right Hermione was sitting.
He looked at her once and saw her smirk at him, he looked at with a blank expression and then turned to listen to the class.
It is the midnight feast, Hermione got better now, but still in a sulky mood.
Fred was holding her hand, occasionally kissing her temple, they both smiling at each other. After she apologized to him for her earlier outburst.
Everything was returning to normal...Until
"I have selected the respective head students from the 5th year..."
Gryffindor's groaned already knowing who it will be and about their plans.
Hermione looked over at the Slytherin table to see sharp blue orbs looking pointedly at her.
She felt a shiver run down her spine at the piercing look and quickly averted her eyes.
"The head boy from the 5th year is Ronald Weasley from Slytherin..."
Slytherin cheered and patted ron on his back, while every other table just clapped lightly.
"The head girl from the 5th year is Hermione Granger from Gryffindor..."
The whole hall broke into hushed whispers, everyone was shocked mainly the gryffindor table.
Hermione was sitting there with wide eyes, not knowing whether to happy or sad.
If she is the head girl that is a superior position than just a prefect, just after she lost her badge, but that also means she have to spend the remaining year with him alone in a big room. She looked at Ron weasley to saw him smirk smugly at her.
