Our Always: Harry and Hermione

Chapter 4: The Three Broomsticks, Two Breakups, One New Couple

     "Excellent I need some sweets anyways. And I also could use some butterbeer,"Ron said. We ate dinner and went up to Gryffindor tower. Once there I grabbed a table and summoned my homework. I had graphs to chart and essays to write so I got started right away. After half an hour in my corner Ron came up behind me and started bugging me.

      "Ron stop please. Ron stop. Ron. Ron. Ron stop!"I yelled at him.

     "Okay sorry mione. I just wanted your attention,"he replied.

     "WELL I'M NOT GIVING YOU MY ATTENTION BECAUSE I NEED TO FOCUS ON MY HOMEWORK. YOU KNOW HOW MUCH SCHOOL MEANS TO ME. SO LET ME BE!" I screamed at him.

     "Oh so I'm not that important anymore I see."

     "No Ron I didn't mean it like that I -"

     "Well you now what Hermione if I'm not that important anymore then we are done."

     "Ron please don't do this to me. Your the only family I have left. Please Ron." By the time I had finished begging him he was on the other side of the common room snogging Lavender. As I began to cry I gathered my things and apparted to my common room. With a flick of my wand my things were in my room. I lit the fire and cried on the sofa. He practically left me without a family. I am alone and orphaned.

     Five minutes later Harry came in and sat next to me. He put his arm around me to comfort me.

    "Hermione. Ron was just out of his senses. He'll come around soon. I left Ginny so that she could straighten him up. Everything will be okay,"he said reassuringly. Five minutes Harry let Ginny in the door.

     "I can't do anything now, he did the unbreakable spell with Lavender that they would be together. I'm so sorry Hermione,"she said. She came over and sat on the other side of me and put her head on my back. After half an hour of just starring at the fire like that Ginny got up kissed Harry's cheek and walked out. It pained me to know what she had done and yet she still hasn't told Harry.

    "Harry, how much do you love Ginny?" I asked him with my head on his shoulder while starring into the fire.

   "Well if she were dying I would go through the whole war again for her. That's how much I love her. Why?"he replied.

   "Oh I was just making," I lied. A tear ran down my face knowing that she didn't feel the same way. "I'm gonna go to bed. Night Harry."

    I got up and gave him a kiss on the cheek. I could trust Harry with my life and still feel safe. I open my door and walk to my bed. I start crying more on the fact that Ginny didn't like Harry. It broke my heart to know that he loves someone but they don't feel the same. I had something and it slipped through my fingers. Out of the tiredness I drifted into a dreamless sleep.

      Harry must of came in because my door was closed and I had a blanket on top of me. I woke up and got dressed in my usual Friday attire of a grey skirt, a white short sleeve button up, with the daily Gryffindor tie. I walk down to the common room and I see Harry on the couch with his head down.

   "Harry, what's wrong?" I ask. I walk to him and see that he is asleep. I pushed him a bit and he woke up.

     "What? Oh morning Hermione. What time is it?"

    "Almost eight. We could probaly get a small breakfast then to our first class."

    "Okay. Thanks." I walked out of the common room and apparted to the Grand hall. I didn't care much anymore. What happened last night was in the past. I couldn't do anything now because our time was over and he had already moved on. Now it was time for me to do the same. I walked in and as soon as I did I wanted throw a bomb. Ginny was kissing Dean again for the third time that I've seen her this week. I walked over to her and taped her shoulder. As soon as they stopped kissing I told Dean to scram and sat down next to her.
