One Last Chance (Harmione Story)

Chapter 5: Protego

*Harry's POV

- Ron broke up with me and didn't even have the guts to do it face to face! - she said, crying and handing me the note - look at this!

It said:

''I'm sorry it had to end out the way it did. I don't want to be with anyone right now so I'm leaving you this note... Ron

- Wait a second! - I said running up the stairs to our room, to look for him but he wasn't there. I headed downstairs, slowly, thinking about what I could say to Hermione, to clear her head a bit. Of course I knew that wasn't really going to happen given the circumstances... As I was doing so, I felt the air was cold, almost like a dementor was haunting the place, but there was no one there except for the two of us, thankfully.

Hermione must've noticed it too because when I reached the end of the steps she was kneeling next to the burned out fireplace, piling logs. I walked towards her and when I got close to her I heard her whisper...

*Hermione's POV

- Incendio - I whispered. The logs piled on the fireplace burst out bright red flames. I suddenly felt warmth, contrasting with the cold I felt before. To my surprise it was coming from inside, the the fire. Harry had put a comforting hand on my shoulder. That simple gest made me, suddenly, feel a bit better.

I walked backwards, towards the couch, sat on it and laid my wand on the table behind it. Harry sat beside me. At this moment I realized something, the simple move of him laying his hand on me made me feel better, such a simple move had such a powerful, magical effect.

We sat there for a while before we heard someone come in. It was Ron. His face said everything: he had been hoping no one would be there at that time, much less either of us. I stood up and faced him, trying to contain my anger, my disappointment, only I couldn't, not any longer.

I reached behind the couch, to the table were I had left my wand but, I noticed, shocked, that it wasn't there! My wand was gone!

I looked up to see Ron ripping out his wand and immediately pointing it at me!!!

- Stupefy! - he yelled furiously, putting all his own anger into that spell.

I closed my eyes, expecting to be flung backwards by the stunning charm. Only I didn't... There was a low 'woosh' and a loud crack and then, nothing. I opened my eyes and before me stood a light blue, transparent wall. By my side stood Harry. He had obviously conjured a protego charm. That wasn't surprising, what was was the fact that we was wielding my wand. He then turned it towards Ron and said, with all the calm in the world:

- Expeliarmus.

Ron wand flew from his hand to Harry's. Seeing as Ron was disarmed, I rushed to him, ready to punch him straight in the face when I hit my face on the blue barrier, which had expanded going all the way around me. Ron rushed towards me as well and faced the same blue barrier.

- For Merlin's beard, will you two calm down!? - Harry shouted.

- How do you expect me to calm down after what that idiot did?! - I shouted back.

- Well... We ain't going anywere by fighting and not until I remove those barriers sooo. Will you calm yourselves?

None of us answered, we limited ourselves to grunt in disaprovement.

- First of all - Harry satrted - why were you fighting in the first place?

- Are you seriously asking that, you bloody traitor! - Ron protested.

- Explain yourself!!

- You're dating, aren't you?

- No, we're not. And if that's what this is all about, you might as well stop it now. You should start by apolagising to each other.

- Okay... - Ron sighed - i'm sorry for anything I said to you Hermione - his tone was rude but he meant it, well, most of it.

- Now you Hermione...

I didn't say a word. I wasn't going to for a while, not to or for Ron. Instead, I turned to Harry and stared at him for a bit. He seemed to get what I meant and noded lightly, comprehensively. I then turned around and headed for my room withoput saying a word to either of them, leaving Harry to explain himself to Ron. I need to clear my head before I head to class.

*Ron's POV

- What?! You're just gonna let her get away like that?! Aren't you going to make her apolagise?! - I said.

- Well... If I were in your shoes I wouldn't be expecting much more from her right now. You said something you realy shoud have not. Besides, she did apolagisse, in a way...

I looked at Harry, completely confused and caught off guard by that statement - What in the neme of Merlin happened to both of you?!
