16 || Confusion

The next day, Hermione acted like absolutely nothing had happened. Ginny kind of glared of you a bit whenever you saw her. You felt a bit sorry for leaving her like that so you sent her an apologetic smile but she ignored it.

You just went on about your day, still seeing Hermione a bit less. Now you had no clue why she decided to disappear after every class and then appear a bit late to the next one. You could swear her tie was a bit undone every time too.

You walked through the courtyard, planning on finding Harry, Ron, or Hermione, if you could find her, to help study for the potions exam. And that's when everything made sense. A few feet away from you, you saw Hermione snogging the brother of the Weasley you were just snogging with last night.

"You've got to be kidding me. There's no way she's with Ron now. Ron, out of all people." You said to yourself. You turned and left the courtyard but not out of jealousy. It was out of pure confusion.

You plopped onto the fireplace couch, in utter disbelief. One of your best friends was already sitting there, his attention shifted to you once he saw your shocked and confused expression.

"What happened now." Harry asked, a bit tired of the ongoing drama in his life.

"I just caught Hermione making out with Ronald Weasley." You were kind of disgusted.

"You're joking. Ron, out of all people?"

"That's exactly what I said. Don't they literally hate each other?" The more you thought about it, the more it didn't make sense. "Nothing that those two say or do to each other scream 'I secretly like you and I'm in love with you',"

"Yea, it's weird. And are you okay about it?" Harry looked at you, a bit worried.

"What?"

"I am not dumb, Y/n. I know damn well you still like her. And Ginny tells me all the time how your literally drooling over her. I mean didn't you chase after her and literally left Ginny half naked in the library."

"Okay Potter, I didn't know Ginny was telling you all of that." You buried your head in your hands. "Yes, maybe I do still like her. But I'm more confused than jealous, to be honest."

"I don't know, maybe it's to make you jealous." Harry shrugged. That statement caught you by surprise.

"What do you mean by that? Why would she want to make you jealous?"

"Honestly, Hermione was pretty torn up when you two weren't talking even when she was with, who she thought at the time, the man of her dreams. Maybe, just maybe, she could be into you too. Hey, but that's just what I think. Now if you will, I need to read this book and digest that my two best friends are now dating." Harry turned back to the dumb potions book he kept with him since the beginning of the school year.

"Sure... see you." You left the common room, unable to take in the amount of information you've just been thrown at. Hermione and Ron apparently dating now, Ginny telling Harry about your nights together, and Harry telling you that he thinks Hermione likes you. It was way too much to take in and it just left you more and more confused.
