Harry pulled Candi aside after lunch.

"Do you have a free period now?"

"Yea, why?"

"You have to help me with Hermione, now that Ron's out of it." Harry whispered urgently. Candi shook her head.

"Harry, that's a brilliant plan...with one tiny flaw."

"What?" Candi turned his head to the small sea of Gryffindors, and pointed out a long-haired red-head.

"Ginny Weasley. Your girlfriend."

"Oh." Harry turned red. "Well....."

"Harry, I told you not to get into a relationship with Ginny. Now what do you plan to do?" The bell rang and students shuffled to their classes. Harry looked around.

"Let's go up to the Tower so we can talk." Harry pulled Candi's arm and took her to Gryffindor Tower. "Truffles."

"Correct." The Fat Lady said, and swung open. They sat down on the chairs closest to the fire.

"Harry, why did you get together with Ginny?" Candi asked right off. "After knowing full well what it could cause?"

"I didn't know that Hermione and Ron would break up!" Harry defended himself. "You can't blame me for everything."

"No," Candi sighed, "I can't. But that doesn't make the situation any better, or easier to solve. Now, are you serious about your relationship with Ginny?"

"Of course not. But Ron will kill me if I break up with Gin just to date Hermione."

"You have a bigger problem than that Harry." Candi warned. Harry looked puzzled.

"What?"

"what if Hermione says no? What if she isn't ready for another relationship?" Harry hung his head.

"Candi...why do you have to be so negative?" Candi laughed gently. Harry looked up and smiled thinly.

"Not negative....practical. Honestly, didn't they teach you English at that muggle school you used to go to?"

"No, I kept getting beaten up. I learned alot of swear words though." Harry added slyly, and Candi laughed.

"Good thing McGonagal can't hear you. She hates swearing." Harry cursed, and Candi laughed harder. She stood up.

"Mr. Potter, that kind of language is not permitted at Hogwarts." She said primly, sounding almost exactly like the stern professor. Harry clutched his side and fell over, laughing wildly.

"Th-that w-was amazing." Harry gasped. "Wh-who else can y-you do?"

"I hate Harry Potter." Candi said grimly. "He's just like his father. Too bad I can't poison him, Dumbledore wouldn't be pleased. He might make me...take a shower!" Candi fell over and twitched at the floor.

Harry almost died from laughing. "Snape would love to poison me!" He roared with laughter, and Candi joined him. Just then, the bell rang.

"Over already? Time flies when you're mocking professors." Candi looked at the clock.

"Don't be late to class children It's important!" Professor Flitwicks voice squeaked from Harry's mouth, and they burst into giggles. They picked up their books and hurried to class.

Candi made plans to go to Hogsmeade with Hermione that weekend. This gave her the perfect opportunity to talk with her about Harry. They met outside the castle.

"Got your permission slip?" Candi asked her. Hermione held it up. "Good, cause I'm shopping till I'm dropping!"

"But you do that anyway." The girls laughed and entered the small wizarding town. Candi pulled Hermione to about 10 different little shops, coming out with more and more bags. Hermione laughed when she couldn't pick them up anymore.

"Maybe you should take a break Candi."

"Break from what?" Candi huffed, trying to carry all her bags at once. Hermione laughed and helped her out. "Thanks."

"From shopping. You should really find some place to put them. Wanna send them back to Hogwarts?"

"Nah, better mail them to my apartment." Candi headed over to the owl post office.

"You have an apartment?" Hermione asked amazed. Candi nodded and picked out a rather large owl.

"When you live by yourself, you have to stay somewhere, right?" She asked Hermione, paying 5 sickles for the owl. She tied some of the parcels to the owls leg, and it flew off.

"I suppose, I just never really thought about it." They left the office, Candi's arms much lighter. "Wanna stop at the Three Broomsticks?"

"Sure." They made their way down the street and entered the cosy bar. It wasn't too full at the moment, the weather wasn't too good outside.

"Butterbeers dears?" Madam Rosmerta came over and seated them at a table near the window.

"Yes please." Hermione said. She clicked away.

"Hermione, we need to talk." Candi began, a little hesitantly.

"About what?"

"Um...Harry." Hermione almost fell out of her chair.

"Sure...what about Harry?" She righted herself. Candi accepted the butterbeers from Rosmerta.

"Well....what about him?"

"Like, what do I think about him?" Candi nodded. "I guess I see him as a good friend."

"That's it?" Candi was rather disappointed for Harry.

"Well, if you promise not to tell...."

"Promise!" Candi leaned foward, her butterbeer forgotten.

"Sometimes....I get the strangest feeling that I like him...alot. It was happeneing when I was with....with Ron. Is that bad?"

"No, I don't think that's bad. But I don't know if I should tell you this..."

"Oh, c'mon Candi! Let me in! I'm practically your best friend, next to Harry!" Hermione begged. "Don't hold anything back from me!"

"If you promise not to tell Harry I told you." Candi said firmly. Hermione nodded. "Well....Harry likes you Hermione."

"Alot?" Hermione's face lit up slightly.

"Yea.....he got really jealous when you and Ron started dating." Candi admitted. This wasn't necessarily true. He got jealous only the beginning of this year. But if Hermione didn't know, then whatever.

"Oh wow...thanks for telling me Candi." Hermione couldn't stop smiling. They left Hogsmeade an hour later, a smile still on her face.

Candi and Hermione were back at the Common Room just before dinner. Harry noticed Hermione's smile, and Candi pulled him aside.

"She likes you too Harry. A lot."

"Really?" Harry's eyes lit up. "How did you ever find out?"

"A girl has her ways. Now c'mon, I'm starving." She linked arms with Harry and escorted him to the Great Hall.

An explosion met them there. In the middle of the hallway stood Hermione and Ron at opposite ends, one looking ready to kill the other. Harry and Candi exchanged nervous glances. This didn't look so good.

"So you were out the whole day, and didn't even let me know?" Ron roared at Hermione. She looked ready to cry, but held her ground.

"I DON'T HAVE TO TELL YOU EVERYTHING RONALD WEASLEY! WE'RE NOT DATING ANYMORE, REMEMBER?"

"THAT DOESN'T MEAN YOU CAN'T TELL ME THINGS FROM TIME TO TIME!!" Ron shot back. Hermione lost it.

"I DON'T BELIEVE YOU! YOU GO AROUND AND TELL ME WHAT TO DO BEFORE WE'RE DATING, WHILE WE'RE DATING, AND NOW I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU HAVE THE AUDACITY TO TRY IT WHEN WE'RE NOT!! STOP TRYING TO RUN MY LIFE RONALD! I'M SICK OF YOU! I CAN'T BELIEVE I WAS EVER YOUR FRIEND!"

Hermione burst into tears and ran from the hall. Ron, caught off guard, looked stunned for a few minutes. Harry looked at Candi. She nodded, and mouthed, I'll take care of Ron. Harry threw her a grateful smile and rushed after Hermione. Candi went to Ron and took his arm.

"C'mon, before the whole school comes over...like they haven't already." She led him into the Great Hall. They sat down, and Candi saved a place for Hermione and Harry.

"Why for Hermione?" Ron asked grumpily.

"Cause she's still my friend. And as her friend, I think I have a right to know: Why did you guys fight anyway?"

Ron looked away. Candi looked at him. "I....I thought...she was with...Harry." He finished miserably. Candi looked at him, shocked and slightly disgusted.

"Why do you care? You two broke up."

"I didn't...she did." Ron said quietly. "I never stopped loving her."

"But she doesn't love you anymore, does she?" Candi asked him, a little more tenderly. Ron shook his head sadly. "Well, I can't say I blame her for blowing up at you."

"But-but-" Ron spluttered.

"No Ron. You have no right to get mad at her. She was with me the whole time. If you guys were still talking, then you'd know."

"But she-"

"No Ron, you stopped talking to her when you and I had that fight. Don't lie." Candi warned him, and Ron fell silent. Candi looked at the doors. Where were Hermione and Harry?

*****

Harry raced after Hermione as soon as he was given the ok from Candi. He had a rather hard time finding her, but finally found her in the Charms hallway, crying silently.

"Hermione?" She flinched. "It's me, Harry."

"HARRY!" Hermione cried out, and Harry embraced her. For a brief, shining, moment, they were the only two students in the school, the whole world. Then she broke away from Harry.

"How are you?"

"Completely awful." Hermione hitched a breath. "I should have told Ron where I was going-"

"No." Harry said firmly. "There's no reason too. You don't tell me everything, why should you have to tell Ron?"

"I.....I....I don't know." Hermione trembled, and Harry pulled her towards him. She pulled back, but then fell against his chest, sobbing.

He pushed her back slightly, so they were facing each other. Harry put his hand under her chin, and lifted it up so their eyes met. He bent down, and Hermione didn't resist.

Their lips pressed together, and they were clasped in a whirlwind of excitement and passion. Harry plunged his hands into Hermione's golden brown hair as the kiss deepened. Hermione broke away and gasped for air, but went back for more.

This is how Ginny Weasley saw them as she was walking from dinner.

There! Your kiss-scene!

Ginny hid behind the corner when she saw Harry and Hermione talking to each other. It wasn't like she didn't trust her boyfriend, it was just.....she could see a spark between them, and it was begging to be ignited. She peaked around the corner.

"Oh no...." She whispered. They were kissing each other! And it wasn't a friendly peck on the cheek. Her eyes filled with tears, then a rage overcame her.

They embraced, and walked off. Ginny ran up behind them and was careful to be as quiet as possible.

"You know, you're still dating Ginny, aren't you?" Hermione asked shyly.

"I suppose....but I could easily break-up with her. Ron didn't approve of us going out anyway."

"And naturally, that makes it ok to break-up with me?" Ginny burst out. Harry and Hermione jumped 10 feet in the air.

"GINNY!" Harry yelped. "I-I didn't see you there."

"Well, I saw me here....and I saw you over there." Ginny pointed behind her. Hermione turned bright red.

"Gin...I-"

"Save it Hermione!" Ginny cut her off. "I know what you're expecting. You want me to get angry and break-up with Harry, so you don't have to worry about sneaking behind my back."

"Gin-" Harry began.

"NO! That's not going to happen. We're still together Harry. You were just comforting Hermione. Natural. These things happen. So we're cool."

"Ginny, please, listen to him." Hermione begged.

"Hermione, stop it. Harry, let's go." Ginny clutched at Harry's arm and led him away.

"Ginny, what was that all about?" Harry wrenched himself away as they came back into the Common Room.

"Harry, you and I are dating, not you and Hermione. You just forgot that, I understand." She explained patiently.

"Don't patronize me Ginny. I love Hermione." Harry said angrily. Ginny paled, her face sharply contrasting with her firey red hair.

"So....you never loved me? It was...just to get Hermione's attention?"

"It didn't start out that way Gin. I did admire you, and like you alot. But I see you more as a little sister, not as a...a....a lover." Harry blushed.

Ginny stared at him for a few minutes. Then slapped him across the face. Her handprint stood out, bright white, then red. She ran up the stairs, crying.

"Gin, wait!" Harry ran after her, but slid down when the stairs changed into the slide. Hermione came through the hole and ran to him.

"Harry, what-"

"She's gone Hermione. I hurt my best mate's sister." Harry said, full of remorse.

"Harry, it's not your fault, it's mine. I should not have given in. Then you two would still be together."

"Hermione, I wanted to kiss you. Because I happen to love you." Harry stood up and embraced her.

*****

"So what do you think I should do now?" Ron asked Candi as they made their way back from dinner.

"Tell her you're sorry you yelled at her. It wasn't your place to interrogate her about where she's going. You don't do that to Ginny, do you?"

"No." He sighed. "I'm glad you're my friend Candi. I need one right now."

"Harry's still your friend Ron." Candi reminded him. "And Hermione wants to be as well."

"Really?" He looked up, hopefully.

"Of course." She took his arm. "You're a cool guy when you're calm."

They laughed. Ron held open the portrait hole door and Candi stepped through. She stared at the sight before her.

Harry and Hermione was lying on each other on the couch, arms wrapped tightly around themselves. Harry was kissing Hermione's neck, and Hermione was stroking his hair. Ron's face exploded once more.

He coughed loudly. They both jumped.

"Hey Ron." Harry said casually. "Congradulate us, my good man."

"For what?" He asked, a little too loudly. Candi kept her arm on him, in case he lost control.

"We're going steady now." Hermione announced proudly.

"And...what about Ginny?" Candi asked.

"We're not together anymore. We....erm...kinda had a row. But that's in the past now." Harry concluded, and got up. He went over to Ron. "We still friends?"

Ron looked at his hand, then at Candi. She raised her eyebrows, and nodded. Ron took Harry's hand and shook it, then went upstairs without another word.

Ron had been distant from the happy couple, and Candi knew why. It was something that Ron had said to her they day they started going out. He said he never stopped loving her. Candi felt it was her duty to do something about this. His appetite was failing, and he was doing even worse in his classes, if that was even possible, because he wasn't asking Hermione for help.

Her chance came Easter break. Hermione was going home, and Harry was going with her. Ron chose to go home, but stayed when he heard that Candi was staying.

"My parents can spend a week without me, they'll live." Ron excused himself to her when he took his name off the 'going home' list.

"Were you going anywhere?" Candi asked as they walked outside.

"We usually spend Easter with Charlie, but I never liked going to his house anyway. His maid is terrible. Muggle, you know?" They went over to the Lake and sat down.

"Yea....I wish I could remember an Easter with my parents." Candi said sadly.

"Why can't you? Surely you guys had an celebration. What about your other family?" Ron questioned her.

"I never knew my other family. We were always on digging sites, and anyway, mom was the only one who really cared about me. The only time I ever made my dad proud was when..." Candi fell silent.

"Yes?" Ron pushed her gently.

"There were a few other kids at the sites, you know? And sometimes, we'd play games. And then we'd get into fights." Candi seemed to struggle. "I beat this one kid up."

"Why?" Ron was shocked that such a gentle person would attack another kid, especially at their age.

"It was something stupid I'm sure. I can't even remember. But I remember mom cleaning my lip. I busted it wide open. I could hear her crying, and my dad talking. He said something like 'that kid's going to kill someone someday'. And mom was mad when he said that." Candi stopped talking.

Ron looked at her. It was like he was just getting to know her. Almost a whole year, and he still knew nothing about this strange girl sitting next to him. He reached out, and put an arm around her. She looked at him.

"Consider this comfort and an apology. I shouldn't treat you like a stranger anymore." Ron said, and Candi nodded. She leaned into him, and they stared out into the water.

"So where do you go for summer break?" Ron asked a few moments later.

"My apartment."

"You have an apartment all to yourself?" Ron was amazed.

"Yea, why?"

"Doesn't that cost alot?"

"Yea, but my parents left me quite a bit of money before they died. They were pretty famous. Dan and Molly Summers?"

"Oh yea, they were on the news last year!" Ron exclaimed. "They were reported missing."

"That's because we were away. I was taking care of them." Candi murmered, hardly noticing he was there anymore. "We must have been gone for 4, maybe even 5 years. Seems longer."

"I'm sorry they're dead." Ron tried to comfort her.

"I'm sorry.....my mom's dead. I hated my dad. Hated him!" She cried out, and slammed her fist on the ground. "Nothing I did was good enough for him. NOTHING!"

"I'm sure he just didn't know what to do." Ron said, but Candi shook her head.

"No...he hated me since the first time he saw me, I'm sure. One, because I was a girl, two, because my name was Canderia, and three, it was because I even existed."

"Candi-"

"NO! He never liked me. Ever." And just like that, she started to cry. Ron took her in his arms and hugged her. She hugged him back, her body racked with sobs of hurt and anger.

"When did they die?" Ron asked, stroking her head.

"Just this past summer. It took me a while to get back to London, about three weeks. I'm all alone Ron." She looked up at him. "I'm the only family I have."

"Candi....you've got me as a friend. And you can borrow my family. Lord knows I have enough." Ron smirked, and Candi gave a weak smile.

"Thanks Ron. That....means alot." They got up and walked back to the castle.

"Wanna hang out over break?" Ron asked her before they stepped into the portrait hole.

"Ew, with you? No way." Candi laughed at his expression. "I'm kidding! I'd love too!"

"Great, I'll owl my parents and tell them we have a new member of the family." Ron smiled, and went to get his owl. Candi looked up at him.

Why doesn't Hermione see what a great person Ron is? She asked herself.
