Chapter 31 - The Foolish Fight

Ron, Hermione and I were walking back to our common room. Worried looks on our faces, well, except for Ron, he looked rather rigid and angry.

"What the hell was he thinking?" Ron said as rage fueled his words.

"What!? Do you really think that he put his name in there, Ronald?" Hermione snapped, clearly worried for her best friend. We stopped in our tracks, when Ron said, "Yeah, how did it come out then?"

"You are so stupid to think that he would do it" Hermione said as she pulled my arm and we went to the common room.

"You go, I'll talk to Harry" I said as I took a place on the couch. It was after curfew and Harry still hadn't returned, the common room was empty, only me reading and waiting for Harry to come back. I was so engrossed into reading that I didn't hear Harry come in as he slipped through the boys' dormitory.

"Do you ever stop reading?" he asked as his ankle rested on the knee of the other.

I snapped out of book, scared slightly. "Blimey Harry! I didn't see you come in. And when did you come in? You're not in your robes."

"Yeah, about 15 minutes ago" he said as he chuckled lightly.

"Harry..." I said and he cut me off, "No, I didn't put my name in, Liv!" he said harshly, raising his voice at me.

"Sorry" he said as soon as he realized he raised his voice at me. I nodded.

"Do you have any idea how it might've gone into the Goblet?" I asked scooting closer to him.

He shook his head. "Don't you think Dumbledore would get you out of it? I mean-" I asked placing a hand on his hand, hoping he would say yes.

"Tried it, already. Mr. Crouch said that it's a binding magical contract. I will have to do it" he said as he stared into the fireplace. Ron came down and sat beside me, mumbling something.

"What?" I asked looking at him.

"Did he tell you how he did it?" he replied back with a question.

"Did what, Ron?" Harry snapped back.

"Never mind, might've let your best friend know, though" he said rolling his eyes.

"Let you know what?" Harry asked as he sat properly on the couch, with his elbows on his knees.

"You know bloody well what" Ron said harshly. I was squeezed between the two boys.

"I didn't ask for this to happen, Ron. You're being stupid" Harry said standing up.

"Yeah, that's me. Harry Potter's stupid friend" Ron said, now standing up to Harry height.

"I didn't put my name in that damn cup" Harry yelled, I had never seen Harry yell at someone. I quickly put a muting spell around us. The boys were now neck to neck.

"Yeah, says the one who craves for eternal glory" Ron snapped back. Before Harry could say something, he would regret, I quickly came in between the two boys, facing at Harry.

"Harry, look at me, look" I said as he looked into my eyes. "Go to your dorm, I'll talk to him, just please leave, before this gets out of hand" I said placing a hand on his chest. He grabbed my hand roughly and shoved it down. He shot a look at Ron and left the common room. I knew he was angry, that he would never do that to me. He would never be harsh with me.

"Ronald, how could you be rude to your best friend like that? At times like these, he needs us" I said as I turned towards him.

"What? You really believe that he didn't put his name in? How gullible are you? Or are you so blinded by your affection for him? Or are you too busy snogging with Cedric? Or Rafael, so that you can't see through his act!" he said harshly looking down at me. I was furious, how could he talk to me like that? I was trying to help them and he was being an utter ass. My eyes quickly filled with tears, before Ron could say something, I ran out of the common room, to The Astronomy Tower, with the book in my hand.
