The Yule Ball (Harry & Hermione)

Their conversation

Harry's POV

After I heard what Ron had muttered, I just couldn't take it anymore. I felt anger boiling up inside me and this time I knew I wouldn't be able to keep it inside. I stormed my way towards Ron and yanked Ron by his shirt into a nearby room. I didn't want Hermione to see what I was about to do but I still wanted to make sure that Ginny wouldn't hurt her.

What an idiot I was, to make friends with this Weasel. As I pushed him into a nearby room, I punched him hard in the face. He stumbled back by the impact and held his hand to his eye, where I had punched him. "Argh!" he yelled out as he put his hand down. There was a dark purple bruise covering his eye which did not look very good.

I knew that he was an idiot that totally deserved that, but I wasn't a monster like my uncle. I took out my wand and pointed it at him. "Pl...PLease don't hurt me..." Ron stuttered as he stepped back in fear.

"episkey" I muttered and Ron's eye went back to its original colour. He seemed shocked and brought his hand up to his eye, touching it and gasping in amazement.

"How did you do that?" Ron asked me.
"It's called a healing spell Ron, if you actually paid attention in class you would know what it is." I replied, rolling my eyes.

Ron still seemed in shock. "Why did you do that? Why did you heal me?"

"Because I am not that kind of guy that will hurt people for the fun of it. Although you really deserved that eye, I'm not going to be a monster like my uncle. Now hurry up, I want to check on the girls." I said, as I turned around, heading towards the door of the room.

As I was about to exit, I saw Hermione standing at the door, smiling at me in pride. I grinned back and she reached out to hold my hand. I grabbed hers and we both walked away from Ron and Ginny and to the lake. The lake where Hermione and I shared something special.

Hermione's POV

We walked and talked about many things. I can't remember the last time I laughed so much. Just the sound of Harry's voice made me smile and forget about all the troubles and problems life may bring me. His smile just makes me get all fluttery inside. I just can't explain the feeling, it's an amazing feeling, like nothing bad will ever happen. However, all good things must come to an end...

Author's note: Hey guys! Thanks to those who are reading again. Feedback is always welcomed. I'm so sorry for the incredibly short and crappy chapter. I'll write a longer one next time.
