The next day, Hermione woke up as chipper as a bird. But when she went down to the common room, what she saw almost broke her heart in two. Harry and Ginny were kissing. Tears were falling down her eyes rapidly.
"So I guess this is how you love me Harry?" she said
Harry pushed Ginny out of the kiss and she landed on a nearby couch.
"Hermione, it's not what you think." Harry said facing Hermione.
"Oh yeah. So, I didn't just see the guy who said he loved me so much only a few weeks ago, kissing the bloodly daylight out of my supposedly best friend." she said as she threw a dirty glare at Ginny.
"It's over Harry. I never want to see you again."
And with that she ran out of the common room only to bump into Jesse.
"Oh. I'm sorry. Didn't see where I was going." she said
"No, it was-" He saw Hermione's puffy eyes and tear-stained cheeks.
"Hermione? What's wrong?" he said
"Oh, nothing. I just found my best friend and my supposed boyfriend snogging the bloody daylight out of each other. And you wanna know the worst part? They didn't even bother to explain, or run after me." she said as the tears came back to her eyes.
"Don't cry Hermi. It isn't worth it. He doesn't deserve you as a girlfriend, and that Ginny of yours doesn't deserve you as a friend." he said as he wiped her tears away.
"You're right. I should stop crying and move on, right?" she said looking at his sky blue eyes. Either it was her or their faces were moving closer and closer together.
"Yeah" and with that he captured her lips with his.
He and Hermione were enjoying the kisses but when he tried to enter her mouth, she snapped back into reality.
"I'm sorry. It's just to soon." she said regretfully
"No, don't be sorry. I'll wait, and when you're ready, you know where to find me." he smiled. He kissed her forehead lightly and went on his way.
"This working better than I thought." he whispered to no one in particular. He smirked at his accomplishment.
Hermione stood there, dumbfounded and kept rewinding the kiss in her head. How can I feel the same about two guys? But Harry, that jerk, was kissing Ginny. What do I do?
-------------------Back In The Common Room--------------------
"What the hell just happened?" Harry demanded Ginny
"I'm sorry, Harry. Ok? I'm sorry. I was never over you. I was heartbroken when we broke up, and to top it all of, you and Hermione started dating? Do you have any idea how that makes me feel?" she cried
"That doesn't mean you have the right to try and sabotage my relationship." he said softly not wanting to get her upset. Ginny was on the Qudditch team, and she really knew how to throw a bludger. Imagine what she could do to his face!
"And besides. You're dating Jesse, remember?"
"No I'm not. It was all a lie. The plan was for Hermione to get jealous, which she did. But the all of a sudden she was okay with us 'dating'. So that's why me and him were kissing after class that day. And you guys were still okay with it. So that is how I kissed you, Harry." she said not looking into his eyes.
"But you were still with Dean when you kissed Jesse."
"I tried to end things with Dean numerous times, but he wouldn't accept it. So that was a way of saying I meant business." she cried
Harry was shocked. A whole bunch of things kept flooding into his mind. But all he could say was....
"You're not Ginny. You're not that wonderful kind girl I once knew. I-I've gotta tell Hermione this." As he was heading out the door, Ginny said
"Harry, if you and I don't start dating, I have to marry Malfoy!"
This made him turn around instantly, and forget about him and Hermione.
"What did you just say?"
