Hogwarts RPG Name: Sylvannas Quickspeed Sixth | Chapter 17 Ginny hid behind the corner when she saw Harry and Hermione talking to each other. It wasn't like she didn't trust her boyfriend, it was just.....she could see a spark between them, and it was begging to be ignited. She peaked around the corner.
"Oh no...." She whispered. They were kissing each other! And it wasn't a friendly peck on the cheek. Her eyes filled with tears, then a rage overcame her.
They embraced, and walked off. Ginny ran up behind them and was careful to be as quiet as possible.
"You know, you're still dating Ginny, aren't you?" Hermione asked shyly.
"I suppose....but I could easily break-up with her. Ron didn't approve of us going out anyway."
"And naturally, that makes it ok to break-up with me?" Ginny burst out. Harry and Hermione jumped 10 feet in the air.
"GINNY!" Harry yelped. "I-I didn't see you there."
"Well, I saw me here....and I saw you over there." Ginny pointed behind her. Hermione turned bright red.
"Gin...I-"
"Save it Hermione!" Ginny cut her off. "I know what you're expecting. You want me to get angry and break-up with Harry, so you don't have to worry about sneaking behind my back."
"Gin-" Harry began.
"NO! That's not going to happen. We're still together Harry. You were just comforting Hermione. Natural. These things happen. So we're cool."
"Ginny, please, listen to him." Hermione begged.
"Hermione, stop it. Harry, let's go." Ginny clutched at Harry's arm and led him away.
"Ginny, what was that all about?" Harry wrenched himself away as they came back into the Common Room.
"Harry, you and I are dating, not you and Hermione. You just forgot that, I understand." She explained patiently.
"Don't patronize me Ginny. I love Hermione." Harry said angrily. Ginny paled, her face sharply contrasting with her firey red hair.
"So....you never loved me? It was...just to get Hermione's attention?"
"It didn't start out that way Gin. I did admire you, and like you alot. But I see you more as a little sister, not as a...a....a lover." Harry blushed.
Ginny stared at him for a few minutes. Then slapped him across the face. Her handprint stood out, bright white, then red. She ran up the stairs, crying.
"Gin, wait!" Harry ran after her, but slid down when the stairs changed into the slide. Hermione came through the hole and ran to him.
"Harry, what-"
"She's gone Hermione. I hurt my best mate's sister." Harry said, full of remorse.
"Harry, it's not your fault, it's mine. I should not have given in. Then you two would still be together."
"Hermione, I wanted to kiss you. Because I happen to love you." Harry stood up and embraced her.
***** "So what do you think I should do now?" Ron asked Candi as they made their way back from dinner.
"Tell her you're sorry you yelled at her. It wasn't your place to interrogate her about where she's going. You don't do that to Ginny, do you?"
"No." He sighed. "I'm glad you're my friend Candi. I need one right now."
"Harry's still your friend Ron." Candi reminded him. "And Hermione wants to be as well."
"Really?" He looked up, hopefully.
"Of course." She took his arm. "You're a cool guy when you're calm."
They laughed. Ron held open the portrait hole door and Candi stepped through. She stared at the sight before her.
Harry and Hermione was lying on each other on the couch, arms wrapped tightly around themselves. Harry was kissing Hermione's neck, and Hermione was stroking his hair. Ron's face exploded once more.
He coughed loudly. They both jumped.
"Hey Ron." Harry said casually. "Congradulate us, my good man."
"For what?" He asked, a little too loudly. Candi kept her arm on him, in case he lost control.
"We're going steady now." Hermione announced proudly.
"And...what about Ginny?" Candi asked.
"We're not together anymore. We....erm...kinda had a row. But that's in the past now." Harry concluded, and got up. He went over to Ron. "We still friends?"
Ron looked at his hand, then at Candi. She raised her eyebrows, and nodded. Ron took Harry's hand and shook it, then went upstairs without another word.
