It seemed as though Hermione and Ron's friendship was forever over. They were both so angry with each other that he and Y/N didn't think they'd ever make up.
Y/N was mad at Ron too. Since they were already like siblings, they just got pettier. She had expressed to Harry and Hermione:
"What did that prat think would've happened?!" she said angrily one day, sitting with Harry and Hermione while Ron had detention with Flitwick for...god knows what. "Crooshanks is a cat! There are other cats in this godforsaken castle - why doesn't that fuckwad hate them?"
Ron was absolutely outraged that Hermione wasn't taking him or Scabbers seriously. Hermione was fed up, pointing out that the ginger hair could have been there since Christmas.
When Harry pointed out that it was likely that Crookshanks ate Scabbers, the two girls stopped talking to him, too.
"Okay, side with Ron! I knew you would," Hermione said shrilly, getting up from her seat. "Just - leave us alone, Harry. We've got tons of work to do!" She grabbed Y/N's hand and dragged her to the staircase to the girls dorm.
Harry's eyes found Y/N's. She mouthed an, "I'm sorry," and left with Hermione.
Though he was near the fire, it felt colder with her gone.
Harry went and joined Fred and George, who were huddled in a corner and Ginny who was sitting in the armchair near them. The first thing they asked was, "Where's Y/N? Have you upset her?"
"Wasn't me," Harry mumbled.
Just then, Ron entered through the portrait hole and scanned the room, probably looking to see if Y/N and Hermione were there. When he deemed it clear, he came and plopped down beside Harry and the twins, sporting a gloomy expression.
"Come on, Ron," Fred said bracingly. "You were always saying how old Scabbers was! Plus, he's been off colour for ages. It was probably better for him to snuff it quickly - didn't feel a thing."
"Fred!" Ginny said indignantly. "You can't just say that!"
"All he did was eat and sleep and shit," George reasoned, causing Harry to snort a laugh.
"He bit Goyle for us once," Ron said miserably. "Remember, Harry?"
