Seeing Love Differently

Don't Worry

I hoped that Harry didn't hate me because of what I did. I waited anxiously on the couch. Soon the boys came in with Ron's mouth open in shock (he probably saw me kiss Harry) and Harry just looking normal but kind of shaken, like he was recovering from shock. I opened my mouth desperately -

Don't worry about it, Harry gave me a look, catching my eye.I closed my mouth again.

"Anybody hungry? It's lunchtime!" Molly said, bustling in. Grateful for the distraction, we all ran into the kitchen to see two tables full of her delicious dishes. Ron started stuffing his face immediately. The only people in the house were Ron, George, Molly, Arthur, Harry, Luna, Charlie - on a break from training dragons - and me.

I was whispering to Harry about the job thing again, wanting to hear him laugh because of me again. Charlie wanted to hear it, and was struggling not to laugh.

"Ffatt var fu fwe fuiffuring fabouf?" Ron asked suspiciously with his mouth full of food.

"Don't talk with your mouth full, Ronald Weasley!" Molly scolded him.

Ron swallowed hard and 'repeated' "What are you three whispering about?"

"It's none of your concern, mate." Harry said with a grin.

Charlie had a mouthful of Butterbeer and sprayed it into Ron's face. "Sorry Ron. Harry, that is hilarious."

Ron made a pouting face. I laughed and high-fived Harry.

After lunch I thanked Molly and Harry and I helped washing the dishes using magic and decided to have a dueling game out in the backyard. It was just Harry, Charlie, Ron and me because the adults were inside and the others didn't want to duel each other. Harry was dueling Charlie, and Ron was dueling me. Harry had a good opponent but he had conquered the most evil wizard of all time. I am so going to win this duel. It lasted 15 minutes, and I won.

"I went easy on you - you're a girl." Ron whispered, rubbing the burn on his arm shakily. I nodded sarcastically.

"Yeah you totally did Ron. And that was pathetic!" Yelled Charlie and dragged Ron by the ear so that He and Harry could duel next.

This one was longer because both of them are really good. but after 1 hour and 30 minutes of dueling, Harry won with one last spell. Then I had to fight him, the winner determining the Dueling Champion of today. I may be in love, but that didn't mean I would go easy on him! After 2hours and 45 minutes, I was conquered. Still, I put up a good fight. Arthur, who had come to watch half-way through, looked at Harry. He said that if Harry can beat him, he will take all of us to Hogsmeade to drink Butterbeer, his treat. Harry grinned and agreed.

And so, the duel began.

Charlie used magic to heal our wounds and we watched. Harry was not doing so well until he used his partronus, his corpeal Stag partronus that charged Mr. Weasley down.

At that point, Charlie yelled "You can't beat Harry dad!" Then at the end Harry won the 3 hour and 50minute-long duel with the disarming spell. He did really well. Then we all apperated to Hogsmeade and walked into The Three Broomsticks. To our surprise we saw Neville and Cho and Professor McGonagall. Harry saw Cho and immediately went over to hug her. He didn't really have a crush on her anymore but they were still really good friends.

Professor McGonagall came up to each of us in turn shaking our hands and said, "Good afternoon Arthur, Misters Weasley, Miss Weasley, Miss Lovegood, Miss Granger and Mister Potter. Fancy seeing all of you here. I was just having a nice chat with Mister Longbottom and Miss Chang."

"Good afternoon Professor we were just going to get a drink of Butterbeer each Mr.Weasley's treat." I said politely.

"Would you mind if we join you?" Harry asked quickly.

"Oh no." Cho perked up quickly, eyes widening in pleasure. "Of course not. We would love the extra company." So Harry sat next to Cho and I sat on the other side of him. And Ron sat next to me. On the other side of Cho was Ginny and next to Ginny was Neville. And on the other side sat Luna facing Ginny and Mr. Weasley facing Ron, and Professor McGonagall facing me. Charlie was facing Neville and George sat facing Harry leaning in to tell him a joke. My eyes were just on Harry the whole entire time. And soon Harry laughed out loud at his joke and Cho was leaning against his shoulder and whispered something in his ear. He then smiled and let her lean on his shoulder.

I felt a pang of jealously. But then I found out. If I tell anyone or if anyone finds out about my feelings for Harry, it could hurt a lot of people. Harry might be hurt because he loves Cho and maybe Cho might be hurt because she might have already developed feelings for him after Ced died. And Ginny... what about Ginny? She has had a crush on Harry since our first year even when she wasn't at school yet. Then I noticed that Ron was staring at me.

"What?" I asked defensively, troubled from my thoughts.

"Nothing, never mind." He said hurriedly, and glanced away. I looked around and saw everyone else talking to each other, lost in my own thoughts.

"Hello? Hermione . . . ? Earth to Hermione!" It was George. He was trying to get my attention. He might have wanted to say something to me. But everyone was done so we all stood up and since it was like an old reunion we went all over Hogsmeade. At one point we all split up. I was about to follow Harry, Cho, Ginny and Ron when George pulled me so that I ran into him. I stepped back awkwardly.

"Is something on your mind, Mione?" He asked, steadying me with both hands.

"No." I said softly, trying to avoid his penetrating eyes. "Of course not."

"Hey." I looked down. "Hey." He pulled my chin up with a finger. "Hermione Granger, look at me. Don't you dare try and lie to me. You are like a sister to me. Tell me what's up."

I sighed shakily. "It's silly really . . . "

"If it bothers you, I'd dare say its not silly."

I looked into his eyes surprised as my eyes burned. "You - you saw me kiss Harry today George, I love him. I really really love him. But what can I do?" I whispered miserably. "Harry likes Cho and she seems to like him back . . . I would hurt both of them if I told them - and - and your sister, Ginny. You know she has had a huge crush on Harry since when? My first year?" And I don't know why but I broke down and started to sob. I covered my eyes with my hands, and tried not to let him see.

He pulled my hands away with a look of disdain. "Hey." He pulled my head into his chest and hugged me. I cried, and he hugged me. "You know, Mione...
