All ten of them where having their lunch, talking about anything but not the sex part happening between them. He didn't know when it become an unsaid rule, but they won't talk about that when they are all together.
The boys talk within them, about their progress, like how dean and astoria are in a make out session, how him and pansy done nothing more than kissing and touching, he even listened to draco Informing what he and ginny done during their initial period with gritted teeth, in which after Ron almost killed the blond, fortunately they are too still in the same stage as him.
But a surprising thing is, today when the guys started teasing how ron can't even look at Hermione straight in the eyes, he strangely tensed, every time he would laugh awkwardly, but not today. So we probed him to spill the details and he did. 'Ron And Hermione kissed'.
Seriously, I didn't know they two had it in them. From the speed they were going, I thought they will have sex at old age or something. Not so funny, I know...
But looking at them, he don't know whether to sigh or laugh. From morning they are not looking at each other, if they did, they blush or laugh awkwardly before turning away.
They are so much behaving like newly married or something.
Now he was sitting between Hermione and ron, who the latter forced him to sit between them, watching them avoiding each other's direction.
"Harry, did you and him prepared for your maths test or not" Hermione asked him interrupting his thoughts.
He scoffed "Mione, please. You have been asking me the same question from the morning, if you want to ask him, you can talk straight to him, you know... he have a mouth of his own". he whispered.
She glared at him for a moment before getting back to her food.
She know she could, but she hasn't talked to him, since morning. 'This is ridiculous' she thought.
Honestly, it's not like he loves you Hermione. Just because you have a little...so tiny...tiny (or big) crush on him that doesn't mean he should return your feelings.
Suddenly there was a gasp from across her, she looked up to see ginny her eyes wide and draco, who had his hands around Ginny's shoulder quirk an eyebrow at someone behind her.
She swallowed and looked up to see viktor krum standing over her, beaming.
Oh no, not again... after some time of normal chatting, viktor started going praise me, saying I'm a princess and all. On one hand, it does flattened me, but on the other i don't want it. I already said to him, I'm not interested and he wouldn't just leave me alone.
Sitting everywhere beside me and hooking his hands around my shoulders, I don't know... How to deal with him.
Like expected, viktor pulled a chair from near table (shouting at the junior year guy, whom she recalled terry boot to give the seat and scaring him off in the process) and sat beside me, again hooking his arms around my shoulders.
Oh, please...No, not again!... Oh shit, ron is here too. God help me, she wanted to shout at him to shove off. But she really liked his friendship, he may flirt with her, but there is so advantage in having a senior as your friend, especially viktor krum.
Her friends all sat wide eyed looking at them amusingly.
"Hey mione, why didn't you pick up my call yesterday. I missed your voice" Viktor said smugly, Oh please as if that was true.
It is partially true that she would answer his call, but as soon he started his flirting, she would make excuses to cut it.
Harry chocked on his food and viktor glared at him.
She looked over at ron, who was sitting on the left of harry.
His face was red, he was holding his spoon tightly, knuckles white and from the expression on his face, he is gritting his teeth... he seemed furious.
What had happened to him, Hermione wondered.
"I'm sorry viktor, but I had some busy work to do yesterday, sorry" she said. Oh yeah, that's right a bit of make out, is my busy work now, she thought.
"Ah, it's alright babe"- babe?- "We'll talk today, make up for our lost time" he said loudly, almost making the entire canteen to hear.
She doesn't want any of the others (especially someone with red hair) to get the wrong idea.
So, she took Viktor's hands from around her shoulder "Um, viktor. If you made your point. I like to have some private time with my friends here".
He smiled awkwardly before getting up "Yeah...Yeah, anyway we have today night all to ourselves, so... bye" he said and walked away all the while glaring intently at Harry.
"Mione?... Mione? Seriously Hermione! That name is reserved for the people so close to you, only ginny, ron and I are allowed to call you that, when did you give him permission to call you that. Please say you are not with him" harry said pleadingly.
"I'm n..." She was interrupted.
"Did you just heard what he said?... he called you mione and babe. Hermione he is in love with you" ginny said excitedly.
Suddenly there was the screeching sound of chair pushed backwards. Everyone looked up to see ron getting up, lifting his bag.
"Where are you going mate?" Neville asked.
"Well... It's time for my class, I have to go" he said breathing hard, his face wore an expression of extreme fury and walked away.
"But there is still fifteen minutes left" harry said worriedly.
He knows they both liked each other, but had a doubt in Ron's feelings towards Hermione. But now, he has nothing.
"Well, someone is jealous" draco said, shooked his head and started eating his meals.
'Is that right?... Ron is jealous?' She felt a giddy feeling on the thought of ron getting jealous of seeing her with other guys.
"Why didn't you come yesterday?" Hermione shrieked as soon as she saw ron at the parking lot of the campus.
"I was busy" he said simply with a blank expression and walked past her.
She followed him all the way glaring at him.
"You were busy?" She said unbelievably. She was so eagerly waited the whole night for him to visit her as usual and they could continue from where they left off, but he didn't... Which hurt her so much.
He turned towards her "What can't you believe it, I'm not just a lazy ass, just simply wasting time by playing video games and all" he said hotly and continued walk again.
"I didn't say that. But if you were busy, you should have informed me, I called you twenty times yesterday". She wasn't lying there, it's so often she misses spending time with him, when he is not around, she always wants to spend her time with him, but it was bearable in the past, but after the kiss they had... she called him so many times, until viktor started to call her, she become irritated with him calling and ron not picking up, so she just switched off that damn thing and went to sleep feeling frustrated.
"Well, I don't think you missed me much. Dear ol' vicky must have kept you company didn't he?" He snapped and started to walk fast.
Hermione froze for a moment, is this what his problem is? Is he jealous? She couldn't avoid the smile that grazed her lips. She then ran to keep up with him "Is that why you didn't come yesterday? Because I talk to Viktor?".
That did it, ron turned angrily to face her "Seriously Hermione, I had a heavy day yesterday at the shop, I don't know from where did so many people came in...I couldn't even look at my phone, so I couldn't answer your calls and why in the world would I care if you snog Vicky or not?" He asked heatedly.
"Yeah... why would you care? we are just friends with benefits right?" She scoffed angrily and walked away without even giving a second glance, not wanting to show the tears that threatened to fall to anyone.
Dean was walking on the opposite side of the parking lot, he saw Hermione walking away fast as she could from a red faced angry Ron, so he avoided going by that side.
Seriously those two are at each other's throat all the time, he thought and laughed to himself.
Well... atleast they have each other. He sighed. Nowadays, it's like he misses something, but what could he possibly miss? He have a lot of friends nowadays right?
Eating at canteen, weekend trips with them, some fun sexual education with astoria in evening at his home. What could he possibly miss! The answer to that question is seamus.
He groaned, well he have to accept himself that now. He misses Seamus...terribly. But why? Don't ask that... he himself doesn't know that.
He was walking past the old restroom now, that when he saw two guys kissing each other passionately at the back side, the common hiding place for most of the couple.
He turned around immediately, like he saw something he shouldn't, he took a few steps away from them, that's when the face of one of the two people started to get clear in his head. Is that... is that Seamus?.
He turned around and looked at them again, there was seamus with a handsome guy, who he reckoned Michael corner from his chemistry class, sucking each other's face.
Something inside him bubbled up and he felt himself getting extremely angry, he shouted "Seamus" before he could stop himself.
The couple jumped away from each other's embrace and looked around, Seamus looked at his direction and eyes gone to the size of saucers, he waved awkwardly not before looking down.
Dean went near them, with a tight lipped smile and asked to seamus "So... Can you explain, what you two were doing here?" Corner replied for him "Isn't it obvious?" He asked smiling smugly.
He ignored him and stared intently at Seamus and the corner guy again tried to get in front of Seamus, like he is ready for a fight.
"We were doing nothing much Dean, we were just kissing, it's common between couples who date" Seamus said as a matter of factly.
Dean's mouth dropped open 'Dating?... No way'
"Are you serious?" .
"Why is that a big shock to you?... just because he don't want me. It doesn't mean others are not interested in me... and say hi to astoria for me" seamus said before grabbing corners arm and dragging him along with him.
Dean stood there watching them walking away with a open mouth and the feeling of anger and sadness mixed together enveloping him.
