One Lover's Love
Summary- Harry and Hermione are both involved in a relationship, not with each other. Neither are harry unless their around the other
Authores Note- This takes place, let's say, during their sixth year. Cedric is mentioned, so obviously, he didn't die. Just a test chapter, to see if it works out.
Chapter One- The Yule Tide Ball
The Great Hall glistened with gold and silver. Streamers and lights hung from every inch of the star lit cieling. It was beautiful. There was a Yule Tide Ball every year now, but each one seemed to be more breath taking as the last, with new surprises each year.
Hermione sat alone on a bench against the wall. It had been set there, away from the dance floor, obviously for those who werent dancing. While she was one of those people, she didn't have to be. Hermione had a date, she had a boyfriend, and while she was the only one sitting there, she'd be back.
" Hey beautiful" she looked up at the comment, it was Harry. She couldn't help noticing how handsome he looked that night. His emerald eyes and adorable smile only added it it.
" Hey handsome" she smiled, " where's Cho?".
" Oh" he glanced behind him, " dancing with Cedric" she smiled, " where's Seamus?".
" Dancing with Ginny".
He laughed, " mind if I join you?".
" Not at all".
Not that he was sitting to close or anything, but every time as much as a jacket sleeved brushed across her bare arm, Hermione felt chills run up her spine. She thought it was just something in her head, until he offered her his jacket.
" Thank you" she said as he placed it around her shoulders.
" You're welcome".
Hermione sighed, " so, next week is you and Cho's anniversary" though she overheard him telling Ron earlier that day, she had really been keeping track since day one.
" Yep, Wednesday".
She grinned, " that's really sweet"
" What about you and Seamus?".
She shrugged, " about two months, nothing like three years".
" You'll get there".
'' Yeah right" she muttered.
Harry glanced at her, " what?".
There she was, ready, ready to express every dark feeling, every scared thought she had about Seamus. Everything, that he had done to her. To the one person that she could trust with all her heart, she glared at him, his eyes growing darker with the look on her face that she could feel. Hermione opened her mouth to speak, when who should appear but the devil himself. To Hermione, that's who Seamus really was.
" Ready to go back?" Seamus asked, though it really sounded more like a demand rather than an offer.
She nodded and slipped the jacket back to Harry, " thanks again". He watched her walk back to the dance floor in Seamus's grip, like a slave being hauled away. It's how Hermione looked, scared like she was about to be murdered.
Harry was about to go after her, just for the sake of making sures she was alright, but Cho found him first. " Come on!" she sounded giddy, smiling as she dragged him back to the dance floor. It was a slower song, compared to what sounded like swing music that was playing earlier. He had the advantage of leading their dance steps, and used it to turn around every chance he had, so he could see her. Expecting to see Hermione in the arms of Seamus, she was running for the large doors at the end of the hall, leaving her red beaten boyfriend alone.
Without thinking, he broke free of Cho, and went after her.
