Platform 9 3/4

~3~

A/n: this is a continuation from the last chapter :p

As Ron started to walk away I looked up to see my best friend I've ever had standing in the door of the great hall.

As she started to stammer and run off, I ran after.

"Hermione!" I called after her as she ran up the stairs.

I finally caught up to her as the stairs were Turning different ways she had no choice but to talk to me.

"Hermione- p-please." I took breaths in between as I was out of breath.

"What."

"I saw you and Ron in the great hall snogging!" She emphasized 'snogging'.

"I wasn't snogging him!" I yelled back.

"So I'm guessing your going to the hall with him?" She retorted back.

"No, I'm going with- Malfoy." I say a bit disgusted.

"What-?" She flipped around to look me in the eyes.

"I would never want to hurt you Hermione, your my best friend and I love you."

"Okay, I was never mad at you. I was mad at Ron."

"What did Ron do?" I ask with a please-don't-take-that-the-wrong-way face.

"He got my hopes up."

"I'll talk about him asking you." I say with a soft smile implying that I never meant to hurt her.

"And if he doesn't want to go with me, you can take him." She said back.

"I know for a fact your not going with Draco Malfoy of all people!" She said with a light laugh.

"You should have seen their faces when I told them I was going with Draco!" I say laughing as we hop off the stairs and into our dorm.

Luckily we had a free day today so we were able to relax and not worry about exams.

-time skip-

As me and Hermione were talking about exams in the common room. We both shifted our direction to the portrait hole to see Ron and Harry.

We both looked away quickly.

As they both sat down, it was very awkward silence.

"Hey Ron, can we talk in private please?" I say breaking the silence.

I gave Hermione a head nod to let her know it will be okay.

"Yeah sure." He says back with a smirk.

We walk out of the portrait hole and walk through the castle and into the garden.

"So, Hermione wanted to know if you would-."

I was cut off by the sudden hand pull me closer to him.

"Hermione?" "Why are we talking about Hermione?" He asked with a questioning look.

"She wants- s-she..  s-she wants to... know if you could go to the ball with her." The last part I spit out as breath of relief flooded my body.

A sigh escaped my lips feeling as the hard part is over.

"I thought Hermione was going with Harry?"

"What?" I say with a very surprised look.

"Yeah she's been talking about it forever."

"What do you mean, she wants to go with you. She likes you, Ron."

"We'll I don't like her like that." He says with a sad expression.

"Well then Ronald, who do you like then?" I ask kind of figuring out the answer.

"Lavender brown." He says with a bright smile.

"Oh." I say as my happy smile decreased to a, what-the-fuck face.

"Yeah she's liked me for awhile so I though I might as well give it a try."

"Yeah, I've got to go..- plan my outfit with Draco!"

That was the biggest lie I have ever said.

"Okay!" He said casually.

"So what happened in the great hall..." I ask with hope in my eyes the light bulb in his head would click.

"Well you know, I know you don't like me, so I need to move on."

"Oh.." I say as I just walk away. Tears flooding my eyes as I look down to wipe them I hear foot steps behind me signaling me to move faster.

I cried as I ran up the steps to my dorm.

As soon as I reached the portrait hole I said the password and stepped through. Still crying.

"Harry I'm sure she's fine-." I hear Hermione say as she looked over and ran to me wrapping her warm arms around me.

"Y/n! What's the matter?? Did he hurt you??" She asked getting angrier by the second.

"N-no." I said as more tears fell from my eyes.

"Then what happened?"

"He's taking lavender to the ball, and he doesn't like me, and he doesn't like you." I say crying into her shoulder.

"He's even happy for me and Draco!!" I say crying even more.

All I heard was face palm from Harry in the background.

As I look back at Harry I saw out of the corner of my eye was a tall red haired boy leaning on the door frame.

"Ron I think you should leave." Harry said getting up from his spot on the couch to walk over to him.

"Fine, I'll leave but y/n just know..." but before he could finish he walked off into his dormitory.

A/N: sorry it's short I'm trying to work on a plot but I know the next chapter will be the ball :))
