Will You Think of Me, Harry?

By Hermione Potter

Chapter 4: True

               “Hermione, are you all right?” Ron asked. She nodded with a soft smile. “Why wouldn’t I be?”

               “Herms, I’ve known you for a long time. You don’t have to put up an act for me,” he replied. Hermione couldn’t help but smirk.

               “Why, Mr. Weasley, when did you get so smart?” she laughed.

               “Hey, I had to get smart someday,” Ron grinned goofily.

               “But are you really considering going to Beauxbatons?” he asked.

               “Yes. I mean, I’ve always wanted to teach. But at Hogwarts. Maybe someday I can come back and face the truth. The truth that Harry was never mine to begin with. He’ going to propose to Isabelle. He asked me if I could help him pick out a ring,” Hermione whispered.

               “That doesn’t mean you’re too late. I mean, in all he’s the dolt. And I can’t believe I’m saying this, but Malfoy was right. Harry is a moron,” he said, shaking his head.

               “Hey, what’s that supposed to mean?” Draco’s voice said behind them.

               “Oh hey Malfoy! I mean Draco. How are you on this fantastic day!” Ron asked merrily.

               “Ha ha. I heard you so stop trying to cover it up. You’re bad at lying. You couldn’t lie for beans,” Draco grinned.

               “Where’s Gin?” Hermione asked.

               “Ah, she’s gone to talk with Luna. Really, I don’t know what’s with the girl talk. What’s the point of it all?” he asked.

               “Well we wouldn’t expect you to understand. You’re just a boy. Boys don’t understand the concept of girl talk. Unless you’d like me to turn you into a girl. Don’t worry, I’ll make you look pretty. You never know, maybe Ron will have the hots for you!” Hermione laughed.

               Ron’s face turned green along with Draco’s. “Honestly Hermione. I can’t believe you just said that,” he replied disgusted.

               “Well, it cheered me up quite nicely. Wow, it’s going to be so boring without you guys at Beauxbatons,” she sighed.

               “So stay with us! We’ll make sure to keep Harry out of your way,” Ron said.

               “Thanks Ron. But I think I should. It’s the only way. After I help Harry get his engagement ring, I’ll leave. I promise to owl you guys and say goodbye,” Hermione added.

               “It can’t be goodbye Hermione. Goodbyes mean that we’ll never see you again. It’s just a “I’ll see you around,” Ron said.

               “See what I mean? You’re wise beyond, well I don’t know what you’re wise beyond,” Hermione giggled.

 

THE NEXT DAY AT HOGSMEADE WITH HARRY AND HERMIONE...

 

“I need something perfect. Something she’ll love,” Harry explained.

               “Any girl would be insane not to love something from you,” Hermione sighed.

               “Thanks Hermione. That really cheers me up,” he smiled.

               “Only the best for you. Look, let’s go in here,” Hermione pointed to the inside of a jewelry store. Harry nodded in agreement and walked inside.

               “Is there anything I can help with dears?” a young woman said behind the counter.

               Oh. No. We’re just browsing for a bit,” Hermione smiled.

               “All right. Call me if you need help with anything. Hang on, aren’t you Harry Potter and Hermione Granger?” she asked.

               “We are,” Hermione replied.

               “This is an honor! You two are together! Amazing. I have been waiting a while for that,” the woman exclaimed.

               “Oh no. We’re not together. Harry’s already got someone in mind to propose to and he’s looking for a ring,” Hermione explained.

               “Oh. How disappointing to me. Well, here’s our section of rings. Which do you like?” she asked. Harry looked at them intently.

               “Oh Harry! This one would be beautiful. Isabelle would love it,” Hermione sighed softly, showing him a silver band with a dark purple amethyst in the middle of two blue topazes.

               “That would be perfect for her. It’d match her eyes. I’ll take it. And could you put it in a box?” Harry asked.

               “Of course. That will be 20 galleons,” the woman charged. Harry handed her the money and started walking out.

               “Be careful of what you seek and what you see. For the one important thing you have will disappear forever from your eyes,” she warned. Hermione’s eyes widened.

               “I’ll never let Isabelle go. I love her,” Harry grinned.

               “I’m glad for you Harry. I can’t wait to hear what happens.” she smiled sadly.

A/N-Guess who’s back? Hehe. How’ve you all been these lovely weeks? Well I’ve been pretty lazy lately. Sorry some of these updates are really slow. Ladies and gentlemen, please leave me some reviews! Or you don’t get the chapter! And I know how much you people like this story! And as a treat, here’s a teaser from the fifth chapter.

               “Miss Granger?” Professor Dumbledore asked, coming down the stairs from his library.

               “Professor. I came to ask...when can I leave?”

               “Whenever you want,” he answered simply. Hermione nodded, starting to walk out.

               “We will miss you, Hermione,” Albus commented sadly. She didn’t say anything, then walked out.
