Harmione fanfiction

Chapter 4

Hermione's PoV.

The song ended and I turned back around but Harry's hand stayed in mine. He turned me round to face him again, took one look at me, and kissed me.

I was stunned, but pleased. I had fancied Harry for years and all this time, he had liked me too? I realised that neither of us had pulled away yet,and that there were wolf-whistles emitting from the crowd. I hastily detached, but smiled at him to show that I didn't want to.
Everyone filed out, getting dreary eyed. Everyone but Ron. I inwardly groaned. I forgot about him liking me, but I assumed that he had stopped long before he started going out with Lavender. Ron looked completely murderous as he looked at Harry and I holding hands.

"Do you like our new common room?" I tried feebly to get a normal conversation going instead of a shouting match. "Yes, Hermione, it's lovely. And YOU-" he turned to Harry angrily but was immediately cut off. 

"What's wrong now Ron? What have I done yet again to get your wand in a knot?"

"Well, there's the betrayal of kissing the girl you know I have a crush on and have done for years to get us started."

"WELL, IF YOU ARE GOING OUT WITH SOMEBODY ELSE, I'M OBVIOUSLY GOING TO THINK THAT YOU DON'T LIKE HER ANYMORE." Harry shouted.

"YOU MUST HAVE KNOWN THAT JUST BECAUSE I WAS GOING OUT WITH LAVENDER IT DOESN'T MEAN THAT I DON'T STILL LIKE HER." Ron pointed his wand at Hermione whose eyes widened with horror.

"DON'T YOU DARE LAY A SINGLE WAND ON HERMIONE. LEAVE HER ALONE." Harry shouted in a warning tone and pulling her closer towards him with one arm. 

Ron looked at them in disgust. 

"WHAT HAVE I DONE TO DESERVE THIS?" He roared at the room in large. I'VE ALWAYS STOOD BY YOU, I HAVE NEVER BEEN UNHELPFUL-"

"OH YEAH, YOU WERE LOADS OF HELP WHEN YOU JUST IGNORED ME FOR HALF OF THE TRIWIZARD TORNAMENT AND LET ME GET ON WITH IT MYSELF." 

Harry concluded his shouting and proceeded to a quieter tone, "Ron, Hermione's the one who has always stuck by me for everything, she's the one who was most worried about who sent that Firebolt for my safety. She's the one who believed that I didn't put my name in the Goblet of Fire."

Ron brandished his wand and pointed it at Harry's chest. 

"I thought you were my friend. Well not any longer. Sectumsempra!"

"No!" Hermione screamed and jumped in front of Harry. A second later, she crumpled to the ground and gashes appeared everywhere on her body. 

"Maybe next time you'll think before you betray your 'best friend'"

And after another grimace at Harry kneeling at Hermione's side, Ron closed the door behind him.
