Butterbeer, Broomsticks & Nargles

Awkwardness & Horcruxes

** This chapter is set in the same time as the last, they happen at the same time but in different areas ** 

*** Ron Weasley *** 

Just when I started to think, that something might happen between me and 'Mione, they both started acting all weird -- Hermione and Harry I mean, I know I left them and I shouldnt have gone but I was angry and the horcrux made me weird. It was like neither of them understood what its like to worry about your family every day, to think about life without them. 

I was harsh, brutal I shouldn't have said half the stuff I did, but I apologised to Harry and saved his life, I kinda thought I would be a hero in Hermione's eyes for that - seeing how highly she regards Harry and all that. 

But it's not the same, neither of them talk since I've come back, its like Hermione will edge around Harry like he's a bludger waiting to knock her out and Harry will dart around her like she's a snitch and he doesn't know which way she will go. 

"Here was me.. hoping we'd have a bit of fun of this trip.. like we used to the three of us." I plonk myself down in the large gap between my two friends -- why is there such a large gap?-- and I wrap my arms round both of them and pull them in close "good job i brought some firewhisky for us eh?" I smirk, I see a glint in Harry's eyes and he smiles at me "well it would be nice to forget just for a evening and be happy - 

"NO." Hermione jumps up like I've suggested setting fire to the tent. "I've had it with you two messing around... creating fire inside the tent --- don't act like you didn't know I saw you!! and NO firewhisky not until we sort out where the cup is and how we plan to get it and --- and well Harry you shouldn't really have any firewhisky it makes you awfully truthful." She stormed out of the tent and into the dark woods. 

*** Harry Potter ***

I jumped up and so did Ron it was like she'd stunned us into silence, so many times before, Hermione had moaned at us, yelled and shouted but this was different. "Urm... maybe one of us should go after her?" Ron suggested. I nodded, we both moved at the same time bumping into each other "you first mate." I smiled sheepishly gesturing to let him past. Ron looked at me worried. "So why cant you have firewhisky? did I miss something while I was away between the two of you?." 

I shifted anxiously, glad that Ron had his back to me while i lied "nothing mate, nothing happened at all." I stared into the darkness, hopeful that Hermione would be found safe and Ron would never find out what happened when I drank too much firewhisky.
