This one was bad.

"This is really stupid you guys," Harry insisted. "Hermione you know Ron didn't mean what he said right?"

"Like hell he didn't! I have known Ron for years Harry and I think that by now I can tell when Ron means what he says or if he is just being a stupid prat."

"Yeah Harry. Quit trying to apologize for me. I'm a big boy. If she can't the truth then that's not my problem."

"The truth? You really are something Ron. After all that I have done for you, you have the nerve to treat me like this?"

Harry threw up his hands and sank onto the couch in their flat. Hermione and Ron have had their fair share of rows during the course of their friendship, but this one was big. Normally he could handle their petty arguments, but this one was not normal. In fact, this was quickly spiraling out of control. He had been trying for the past 20 minutes to defuse the situation, but for all his effort, Harry was failing.

It had all started earlier that day when Ron received an owl from his new girlfriend, Kara. Well, you could hardly call her his "girlfriend". She was just a witch that he had met in Ireland earlier that month. Ron had become quite the ladies man after graduation. His work for the ministry required that he travel a lot. It seemed that where ever he went, there were always a couple of girls who couldn't resist him. Ron was leaving broken hearts all over Europe. It was always the same; a one time thing. None of these women meant anything to him; they were a distraction for him. From what, Ron wasn't saying. Harry knew, but left the subject alone. It wasn't any of his business. Ron was an adult; he could live his life the way he wanted. Harry normally kept quiet, but those broken hearts were starting to interfere with his life as well. Harry, Ron, and Hermione shared a flat together in London. Lately, all the women that Ron had jilted were now sending angry owls to the flat at all hours of the day. Since Ron was gone often, this left Harry and Hermione to deal with the mess until Ron would come back. It was taking its toll, especially on Hermione. Harry knew that Hermione still held onto feelings for Ron. The fact that he was out shagging different women for no good reason than just to shag, was hurting her. It hurt him to see her face fall every time one of those letters came. She would put on a brave face and always defend Ron's action when he would mutter about it was all a misunderstanding. Then at night, Harry knew that she would sit in her room and cry. Then Ron met Kara. She wasn't his normal one nighter. She was different and fun. She definitely was not the girl he wanted to settle down with, or even start a real relationship with, but they had now been out four times, and for Ron Weasly, that was saying something. Ron still had his other flings along the way, but he still kept seeing Kara. He was planning on a fifth date for the weekend, when he got her owl.

"Who's it from?"

Ron scanned the front. "Kara"

"So what does she have to say mate?"

Harry watched Ron's face fall as he read the letter.

"Bloody Hell!"

"What is it Ron?"

"Here. Read it for yourself."

Harry started to read…

Ron,

Well, it seems that I have been a fool. A fool to think that you and I could ever have anything together. You would think I should have been smarter, I mean we did start all of this with a quick shag, but it seemed like it was becoming more than that. Wondering what I am talking about? I talked to a "friend" of yours today and she let me in on a few secrets of yours. Just exactly who haven't you shagged Ron? It seems you have girls all over the world. You disgust me Ronald Weasley! Go to hell!

"Tough one mate."

"A friend? Who has she been talking to?"

"Not me mate. You know I don't meddle in your love life."

"I know its not you, but bollcks Harry, this is shite! Someone is out there telling tales about me and I don't like it!"

"Calm down Ron. You didn't even like her."

"I sort of did."

Harry laughed. "Not enough to quit shagging anything that walked by you."

"Shut up Harry! Wait…she said she talked to a "friend" right? Hermione!"

"What? Are you serious? Hermione wouldn't do that to you. Most of the time, she defends your horrible behavior. She wouldn't have said anything to Kara."

"She had to have. Who else could it have been? I'm going to find her now!"

"Ron wait!"

Harry knew this was not going to be good. Hermione had been sick this morning, so he knew that she had stayed home. When he apparted back to the flat, it was already too late. Harry caught sight of Ron's robes as he turned the corned into the hall.

"Hermione!" Ron yelled.

"Quit it Ron" Harry yelled back. " She's sick. Leave her alone."

"Shut up Harry. Hermione!"

Ron threw open her bedroom door. Hermione was still in bed with a cold. She jerked up as Ron entered .

"Ron. Is everything ok? Is someone hurt?" Harry noted the concern in her voice.

"What the hell are you playing at?' Ron demanded

"What are you talking about Ron?" Hermione asked confused.

"You know what the bloody hell I am talking about Hermione. Kara? Does that ring a bell?"

"Ron I honestly don't know what you are talking about? What happened with Kara?"

"Oh come off it Hermione. I got an owl from Kara. She ripped me up and down because she said she talked to a "friend" of mine that let her know about my other extracurricular activities. You couldn't mind your own business could you?"

Hermione was getting angry now. She threw back the covers and got out of bed. Even though she felt like crap, she was not doing to lie there and let Ron accuse her of something that she didn't do.

"I have no clue what you are on about Ron. I have never even met Kara, let alone gone and had some conversation with her regarding your sexual habits!"

"Yeah right!"

"You honestly think that I would do something as bad as that?"

"Well who else Hermione? No one knew but you and Harry. I know it could not have been him because he has been with me all day. That only leaves you. How could you betray me like that? She will never talk to me again."

"That's not my problem now is it Ron. Maybe if you learned to treat women better instead of just using them to satisfy your own sexual gratification, then you wouldn't be in this mess!"

"And who are you to talk? Just because no one has used you for that purpose yet, doesn't mean that you need to go and ruin it for the rest of us!"

That was it. Hermione stopped cold.

"What did you just say?"

"You heard me. Just because you haven't had a bloke look in your direction for a while, doesn't give you the right to go and use your petty jealousies and butt into my business."

Harry knew that one hurt her.

"Ron that's enough! " he hissed.

"Screw you Ronald Weasley!"

"Oh I am getting screwed Hermione, or that was until you decided to mess it up!"

"Oh yeah, I forgot Ron. You are getting screwed. It seems that every whore in the whole of England has had a piece of you!"

"They're not whores!"

"Oh right, you're the whore! Let me see, how much do they pay you again?"

This was getting worse by the minute. Harry needed to do something fast.

"Guys, come on stop!"

"Stay out of it Harry!" Ron yelled.

He turned his attention back to Hermione.

"This was low of you Hermione. I thought that we were friends. Friends don't go messing around telling lies about each other."

"Low of me Ron? You come in here ranting about destroying some stupid and insane relationship that you supposedly had with some piece of arse and you have the nerve to say I'm low. If we were friends Ron, then you would now I wouldn't do that sort of thing!"

Hermione pushed him aside and walked towards the door.

"Just because you wish you were the one who was getting it instead of Kara." Ron muttered under his breath.

Hermione stopped and turned around.

SLAP!

"Go to Hell Ronald Wealsey!"

A/N : Well…. We'll see where this goes. Let me know what you think! Please!
