Chapter 8

"I would have loved to have told you that Draco and I are going out." Loca told Hermione.

"Yeah. I kinda guessed that much." Hermione said with distaste.

Nat shot an evil glance at Hermione over the top of the book Everyone fell into silence. Harry and Ron walked in the room talking about the new

Captain of the Gryffindor Quidditch team.

"Hey guys. What have you two been doing today?" The girls asked with great curiosity.

"Ron, why don't you tell them. I really need to talk to Hermione about something. Its quite important." Harry said while pulling Hermione away from Nat and Loca.

In the Boy's Dormitory...

Hermione sat down on Ron's four poster bed right next to Harry's.

As Harry sat down, he blushed a little bit and smiled. Then he said, "Hermione. We've known each other for six years. Being together like we have in that time, I've watched you grow into the most beautiful, wonderful, smartest girl I've ever known. I have also grown. I've grown to love a beautiful, wonderful, smart girl."

Hermione's jaw dropped. "Harry what are you saying?"

"I'm saying, that I want to go out with you Hermione."

"Harry, I don't know what to say. I mean..."

Harry cut her off, "...you can say yes."

"...as I was saying...you never asked me anything."

"Hermione, will you go out with..." Harry looked up at the recently opened door.

Ginny was standing there gapping at the pair. "How could you Hermione?" Ginny ran out of the room crying.

"What was...?" Harry asked getting up.

"To answer your question, yes. Though I need to get Ginny, and find out what's wrong with her. Can we talk about this more later?"

Before Harry could answer, Hermione ran out of the room looking for Ginny.

In the Girl's Dormitory...

Ginny was crying so hard when Hermione came walking in.

"Gin..."

"Get the fuck out of here! I don't want to see you ever again. How could you Hermione? You know that I've been interested in him since I first met him. You just steal him right from under my nose. What is your problem?"

Hermione just stood there looking at Ginny. She wouldn't dare move closer because she was in fear of getting punched.

"Hermione?" She heard Loca from around the corner.

"Not now!" She whispered.

"If you're not going to talk to me Hermione, LEAVE!" Ginny said still in tears.

Hermione walked away without question, but thinking of what she had done.

Harry's POV...

After Hermione left I stayed where I was. I had to figure out what Ginny was talking about. Then it hit me. Ron had told me before we came that both Hermione and Ginny like me.

"Harry?" Nat came in and sat down where Hermione had sat just minutes before. I wonder what's wrong.

"Do you know what's wrong with Ginny?" Just making sure I'm not wrong. After all I am a hero. Hero's can't be wrong. Or can they.

"Loca went to find out."

Hermione's POV...

How could I have done that to one of my best friends. She trusted me and I betrayed her.

I left the common room to go to the library so I could think better. There really was no use being the common room when people hate me there.
Walking to the library was something I loved doing. The pictures greet me by my name. Hogwarts has been my home away from home for the past six years. There was almost nothing that didn't know who Harry, Ron, or I were. The first year girls look up to me for many reasons. The two that I can think of right now are because I'm Harry's best friend, well girlfriend now. The other would have to be because I'm a prefect and I'm bound to be Head Girl after all.

These thoughts process through my head as I walk through the door to the library. The library was empty. It was just the way I loved it. There's nobody to interrupt me at all. I walk towards my favorite bookshelf when out of the corner of my eye I see a bookshelf that says "MUGGLE READINGS". I wonder what kind of books they have. I run my finger over the books, but there weren't any that I would like to read, so I pass up the opportunity, and head back towards the Common Room.

R&R plz
