Rooming with Pansy was easier than Hermione thought. She always sprayed a potion that smelled like lavender that was to reduce stress. She kept a everything tidy and looking good. She also never bothered Hermione when she was busy. She was also good with giving her privacy when Harry was over to take care of their plant. Hermione even tried helping her get along with Ron.

Astoria also spent time with them in their dorm. Pansy was trying to be more open with both of them but they understood her struggles.

It was Friday and their classes had just ended when Ginny knocked on the door. Hermione opened it and allowed her in. Pansy and Astoria looked at each other before going inside the bedroom and closing the door.

"what do you know?"

Hermione raised an eyebrow, "pardon ?"

Ginny sat on the couch, "what do you know about Harry?"

"I've known him since we were 11-"

"Hermione don't play dumb. Do you know why he didn't write? Look I live him, I've always wanted to date him. If I know why he didn't reach out to me then maybe I can fix things." Ginny looked desperate for answers. She wanted to know there was nothing wrong with her.

Hermione took her hand, "I don't think I know the full details to this Gin. He doesn't want to be a celebrity crush that someone managed to date. Maybe you should talk to him, figure things out."

Ginny nodded, "you need to talk to my brother. He's awfully sorry about what he said. Maybe we can all start again and date."

Hermione tried keeping her smile up for her, "I think you should find Harry right now. He must be with Draco and Blaise. I really must get back to work."

Once Ginny left Hermione went to her bed and plopped down on it. Astoria went over to her, "what happened?"

Hermione groaned, "she wants me to date her brother. She wants to get back together with Harry."

Astoria ran her fingers through her friend's hair, "what do you want?"

Hermione whined, "I don't know and it bothers me that I don't know. I don't even know why I'm pissed at this. I shouldn't."

Pansy chuckled giving Astoria a knowing look. Astoria nodded, "what if we have a sleepover tonight? I can sneak us some food and we can just unwind. That will take your mind off of problems and you'll think more clearly in the morning."

Hermione glanced up, "sound good."

Pansy grinned, "then let's prepare everything."

There was another knock on their door. Pansy went to open the door and saw Ronald standing there. "What do you want?"

Ron rolled his eyes, "to talk to my girlfriend obviously."

Pansy laughed, "dear weasle, you are single. Your girlfriend isn't here because you don't have a girlfriend. Please leave before I report you for coming to the girls dorms."

Ron glared at her, "I just want to talk to Mione."

Pansy shook her head, "I guess you want to be reported. She isn't here nor does she want to talk to you at the moment. Now leave before I call an elf to report you."

"fine!"

Pansy closed the door, she wasn't going to let anything ruin their girls night.

-----

Harry and Draco were talking about quidditch when there was a knock at the door. "it's probably Blaise" Draco said standing up. He opened the door, "you're not Blaise."

Harry looked over and saw Ginny standing there. "I want to talk to Harry."

"we're kind of busy right now Weaslette."

Ginny looked into the form, "he's right there."

"I didn't say he wasn't, I said we were busy."

"it's fine Dray." Harry stood up and went to the door, "let her come in."

Draco shrugged, "I'll go find Blaise." He turned to Ginny, "try not to destroy things with your hexes."

Draco left. Harry stood there awkwardly with his hands in the pockets of the hoodie. Ginny sighed, "what did I do Harry? How can I fix what's between us? I want us to work it out."

"you did nothing Gin. I just don't feel that way anymore." Harry looked down at his feet, "I'm sorry. I know you like me but I just don't feel like that. It's nothing you did or didn't do."

Ginny slumped her shoulders, "you don't think we can fix it?"

Harry placed a hand on her shoulder, "I think you deserve something better. Someone who feels the same way about you."

"I hope Mione has better luck with Ron." Ginny gave him a forced smile, "I better go."

Harry sat on the sofa as ginny left, what did she mean with Ron and Hermione? Hermione said she didn't feel that way about him, was she lying? Then why would she go and tell him that the kiss was an in the moment thing? Did she tell Ginny something?

It didn't matter. He was going to be there for Hermione no matter what. But still, he couldn't help but feel like he just went through a crusiatus spell. He needed to stop thinking like that. If she was happy then he would have to be happy, they were best friends.
