Getting Past the Pain

Ok, im aware that some of you guys thought Hermione was a bit OOC last chapter, so lemme address those of you that pointed that out.

1.) I know that some h/hr shippers can't grasp why Hermione would ever go out with Ron (I can't either), but when you're a hormonal teenager, you tend to think differently and experiment; after all, that's what these people are: 16 year old kids.

2.) Another point some reviewers made was that Hermione would never let Ron 'control her that way,' and I agree. However, if they were going out, they would spend more time together and if they had plans before hand then Hermione would follow through. It wasn't like Ron commanded her to go. She went willingly.

3.) I don't think she totally blew Harry off either; it wasn't as if she had said 'yea, so Harry, my boyfriend is waaay more important than talking to you.' She had intentions of talking to Harry later like she had said. She just didn't know the full importance of why he had to speak to her right then and there.

4.) For the people who said that Hermione would definitely notice that something was wrong with Harry's mood or attitude, yes, she normally would. But she has been spending more time with Ron and less time with Harry, so she hasn't really been able to pick up anything. Yet. Stress on the word 'yet.'

To tell you the truth, I was surprised you all had a problem with Hermione's OOC-ness and not Malfoy's, because when I wrote this I definitely thought he wasn't in character and that people would say something about it.

I'm not angry either at the people who pointed out what they thought, after all I did ask for the input of the reviewers. I'm just addressing what some people had problems with. I tend to sound angry when I answer things, mostly because I'm crazily sarcastic, so yea, just wanted to say no hard feelings to these people. I'm glad they said something, just shows that now everybody thinks like I do. Thank god; the world would not be ready for that.

Anyway, enough of this crap, on with the chapter.
