What's wrong with me?

Disclaimer: I own nothing.

A/N: I just broke up the first chapter because it was way to long for me, and probably for you to read so it's still the same.

Summary: All Hermione wants is to be noticed by a certain guy. But growing up with no mother and being raised by only her dad might make it a little harder then she thought. With Harry Potter being the most popular guy in school, he shows no interest in a regular girl like Hermione. When his girlfriend, Cho Chang breaks up with him on the way to school for someone else, what will happen when he turns to someone he least expects?

Chapter one

The floor was shaking, back and forth, back and forth, back and forth. He felt sick. The room was spinning, his heart beating hard and fast against his chest. He put his hand against the wall to balance himself so he wouldn't fall. He couldn't believe this was happening, he felt weak, ill even. When he least expected it, he lost his balance and fell.

She ran to his side, her long dark hair in front of her face. She called out my name and then again. What was happening to me? I opened my eyes and looked into hers. Slowly, I sat up on the ground looking at her. How am I supposed to live without her? She's my everything. She then walked away from me, leaving me here, alone. Rain hit against the windows, running down as if the would had felt my pain. She was gone, nowhere in sight. I stood up finding it hard to breath, and then a hand touched my shoulder. Thinking it was her again; I smiled and turned around, my smile now gone. "Oh…it's you?" the voice of Harry Potter said to a red headed kid.

He gave Harry a weird look then said, "Well, it's nice to see you to?" Ron Weasley said, "What's up with you?"

"Cho." Was all he could say.

"Your girlfriend of course, I should of known it was about her. Cho this and Cho that." Ron said.

"She broke up with me." Harry said and Ron stopped. "For some other guy…and she wont say who it was." Ron's eyes went wide and Harry looked away. "I know shocking right? I mean, what's wrong with me?"

"Yeah kind of…um…but I bet it was only for the best right mate?" Ron said, and Harry looked up at him. Ron's blue eyes wondering around, not looking at Harry. "I think maybe we should go and find a compartment, don't you?" he asked, trying to change the subject.

"Yeah…whatever." Harry said, pushing himself off of the wall and then begun to walk down the hallway. After about twenty minutes of searching, they just gave up and found a compartment with one person in it. Ron opened the door and they both walked in, sitting down on one side with Harry sighing as he did it.

The girl on the other side just continued to stair out the window. Her light brown wavy hair came down to her shoulder blades; and her bangs perfectly framed her face. Her dark brown eyes were clouded over with water and she still did not look at them. She brought her hand up to her face and wiped away her tears, her face now red and stained from crying. Ron and Harry just looked at her.

"Hard day?" Ron asked her. She turned her head and looked at them but did not say a thing. "You're not the only one then." He continued to say. "Poor Harry here just got his heart broken. Cho broke up with him about a half hour ago or something." Harry turned his head towards Ron, just looking at him. "For some other guy too." He added.

For some reason Ron couldn't stop talking about Harry and Cho. Hermione turned her head back out the window watching the rain hit against the windows. She smiled to herself so no one else could see it. She felt good inside but she also felt bad for him. The guy she's been dying to date is finally single.

'I wonder if he even notices that I'm in here with him.' She thought to herself. 'He probably doesn't so why does it matter.' Harry slouched down and put his feet on the side she was sitting on. He looked at her as he put a pillow behind his head. She turned her head and looked at where he set his feet then she looked at him.

Harry looked back at her when he felt someone staring at him, and she quickly looked away. He smiled to himself then closed his eyes, drowning out Ron's voice as he fell asleep. Hermione however spent most of the train ride hearing Ron talk about his and Cho's relationship, annoying the hell out of her. She was relived when he went to go change into his school robes. Right after he left Harry woke up. He sat up and looked around, seeing no Ron and only Hermione. Hermione of course was looking out the window and didn't seem to notice Harry awake until he said something.

"Ron left?" he asked getting her attention.

"Yeah…he went to change…unfortunately he'll be back." She replied then looked at him when she heard laughter. "It's not funny at all, he's spent this whole train ride basically talking about you and Cho. It's quite annoying actually."

"Yeah…well sorry about that." Harry said then got up. He went to the door and locked it. After he did that he turned back around and sat down.

"Why didn't I think of that?" she said.

"Don't know really, has that smartness of yours wore off over the summer?" he asked in a sarcastic voice. All she did was look back out the window. "I was joking."

"I know." She said, in a sad voice.

"What's wrong with you?"

"Nothing." She lied.

"Ok." He said looking at her.

"I just hate it that all people see in me is smartness. I mean…there's more to me then that." She said, getting his full attention this time.

"Really?" Harry said sitting up. "You mean, you don't just spend your time in a library? You actually do normal things, like act like a human being?" All Hermione did was look at him. Water now filling her eyes; she turned her head away from him as tears ran down her cheeks. Harry sighed, "Hermione I didn't mean it like that."

"Oh really? Well that's how it sounded." She said not looking at him. He got up and went over to her and crouched down in front of her. "Listen I know I may not be the most exciting girl out there but that doesn't mean that I'm not human."

"I know I'm sorry, I should of thought first before I said something." Harry said to her. "Listen I know what its like to be alone, and trust me I don't like it."

"Alone…what has it been a couple of hours?" She said to him. "Yeah right, if anyone knows what its like to be alone, you're the expert right?" she said now looking at him, she didn't even care that her eyes were watery and that her face was red. "Well I've been alone all my life basically so why don't you tell me who knows what is like?" she said tears running down her face. "You can get any girl in the world to date you but yet I cannot get a boyfriend. You have everyone that's a wizard that loves you. But then again I have hardly anyone that loves me. My dad hardly looks at me because it's my fault my mother's dead. She died there right in front of him at the hospital because the doctors saved me first and not her. So why don't you tell me what its really like to be alone."

"Hermione…I'm sorry…I, I didn't know." Harry said looking at her. "Listen maybe we could both help each other?"

"What do you mean?"

"I mean help me get over Cho, and I'll befriend you. Talk to you and help you whenever you need it." Harry said.

"I don't want to be your friend." She said to him.

"Well then you don't have to be, I could just be a person talking to you." He said, "Please unless you want to hear about how miserable I am and how lonely I am?" Harry asked and she looked away. "Come on…what's wrong with me?"

"Nothing's wrong with you, I just…well…that doesn't really give me a choice now does it?" she said looking back at him. When she did look at him, he had his hands together as if he was praying and his bottom lip curled out.

"Please Hermione…I'll do anything?" he said, begging her to death.

"Fine!" she finally said and he smiled. "Just leave me alone…and let him back in," she said pointing towards the door as Ron tried to open it. Harry laughed and stood up. He walked over to the door and unlocked it. Ron opened the door and looked at Harry.

"I thought it was unlocked when I left…oh well." Ron said coming in as Harry sat down. "Well, you might want to change Harry, were almost there." He said to him as he sat down. Harry sighed again and stood up grabbing his school robes and walking out of the compartment, leaving Hermione alone with him. Ron looked at her and she looked back at him. She gave him a weird look then looked away. "What?" he asked her when she looked away.

"Nothing." She simply said, he looked away and then rolled her eyes turning her head back towards the window.

"Did you just roll your eyes at me?"

"No."

"Yes you did, I saw you do it…out of the corner of my eye, I saw you roll your eyes so don't tell me know you little lire."

"Excuse me?" Hermione said to him as he was starting to raise his voice.

"I don't like being lied to."

"Well sorry honey but I don't like your attitude."

"Oh, what are you my mother now?" Ron said then stood up, towering over Hermione. She said nothing; all she did was continue to stair at him. "That's what I thought." He said then sat back down.

"Tell me something?" she said looking at him. "Why do you have to be such an ass?" she said and he gave her a nasty look but before he could say anything she continued talking. "Oh, and another thing, you have lipstick on your cheek." She said pointing to a spot on her cheek to give him an idea of where it was. "Let's just say that its not your color." She said smiling as he started to wipe it off. "So I take it you have a girlfriend that you want no one to know about?"

"That's none of your business!" Ron yelled at her.

"Hey, I was just saying, we all have our little secrets, and some of them might hurt our friends if they find out." Hermione said, seeing right through him. "So I take it you're the guy Cho's going out with now, right?"

"No, I hate Cho Chang with a passion! Even ask Harry! He knew how much I hated her but yet he still dated her! I would never ever date her!" He yelled at her.

"I was just asking a question." She said as Harry walked back in the compartment. "You didn't have to scream at me, and if you weren't you sure are getting quite defensive over her!"

"Over who?" Harry asked sitting down.

"No one." Ron said giving Hermione a death look. "…And I wasn't getting defensive over her." He shot back at Hermione.

"Really, so you would mind I…oh maybe asked Harry's opinion would you?" Hermione said looking at Harry now who had a really confused look on his face.

"Am I missing something?" Harry asked them.

"No, I guess you just came back at an inopportune time." Hermione said looking at Ron.

"What the hell does inopportune mean?" Ron yelled at her.

"It means like an inconvenient time, bad time, mistimed, unfortunate time. Don't you know anything?" Hermione said looking at him.

"Yes I do, and unlike you I don't have to spend my whole day in the library!"

"Oh well believe me, I think you do. Because compared to me your stupid. How are you going to get anywhere in life?" Hermione said and Ron's eyes got really wide.

"I am not stupid!" he yelled getting up and grabbing Hermione up out of her seat. "Take that back now!"

"Or what, you'll hit me, curse me…what a gentlemen you truly are!" Hermione yelled and Harry stood up. "Go ahead, I dare you, do it, hit me…because I only said the truth! No lies just the truth!" Just as Ron was about to hit her, Harry grabbed him and through him backwards onto the seat.

"I cannot believe you were about to hit her! What the hell is wrong with you, never in my life have I saw you about to strike a lady!" Harry yelled as Hermione sat down. "What the hell is the matter with you? Ever since we got on this train, you've been different…like you changed or something."

"I haven't changed, I'm just pissed off from a certain somebody." He said looking at Hermione.

"Well it's not like you have to stay here, by all means leave, I wouldn't care." Hermione said crossing her arms against her chest.

"No, I think I'll stay." He said in a nasty tone.

"Are you two done now?" Harry asked them still standing above both of them. Neither of them said anything Ron looked out the door and Hermione looked out the window for about the hundredth time today. "I'll take that as a yes." Harry said then sat down next to Ron but across from Hermione now since Ron had taken his seat. He looked out the window; seeing the rain hit against the glass, as if it just happened. The one thing in life that he will never forget. Harry closed his eyes, replaying the whole thing again.

"Hey Harry, I was wondering if we could talk for a sec?" Cho said as they walked on the Hogwarts express. 'She was so beautiful.' He thought to himself as they both climbed on the train. Her long black hair, and her dark brown eyes, he just smiled again.

"Sure." Harry said still smiling at her and she helplessly smiled back. "So how was your summer?" he asked as they moved off to the side, so people could pass them.

"That's actually what I really wanted to talk to you about." Cho said as the train started to move.

"It is?" Harry asked.

"Yes." She said. "Listen when I was in Hawaii this summer with my parents, I rain into an old friend of mine down there. Well he was only there for about a week or two since his family really doesn't care for the muggle world all that much, except his father…he's fascinated by them." Cho said smiling. "Anyways, that's not the point. See when he was there he…well he wanted to have a good time and he really didn't want to spend everyday with his family…so we spent just about everyday he was there together." she said watching Harry's expressions carefully. "Does that bother you?"

"No…why should it, you were just helping a friend out I suppose." Harry said, and she sighed. "It was just you helping a friend out wasn't it?"

"Um…listen as the days went on we just started having more and more fun. Doing things we've never done before and before we knew it…we…um…started kissing each other." She said and Harry just looked stunned. "I'm um…Harry I just like him more then you. I have more fun with him and I really didn't want to hurt you or anything."

"So basically you told me you had, key word 'had' to go to Hawaii with your parents and spend everyday with them but yet you managed to spend everyday there with your boyfriend." Harry said to her.

"Well I did spend everyday with my parents, they just let me do whatever I wanted to the last two weeks we were they so it just kind of worked out like that." Cho said.

"Okay, but I didn't hear you correcting me on saying that he was your boyfriend?"

"Well…he kind of…is." Cho said.

"Last I checked, we were still dating each other. Before the summer came we were still dating, you were my girlfriend. But now you come back and tell me that you cheated on me and that you have a new boyfriend. I thought I was your boyfriend, Cho? I thought you loved me?" Harry said in disbelief.

"Harry I just fell for someone else is all…okay I'm sorry I cannot control my feelings for other people!" She yelled.

"Did you sleep with him?" he asked her.

"Excuse me?" Cho said to him.

"Did you have sex with him?" he asked her again.

"No." Cho yelled.

"Yeah, well that's so convincing. I almost believe you." Harry said now pissed off.

"So what if I did, what are you going to do?" Cho said.

"So you admit it, you admit that you slept with him?" Harry asked.

"Yes, Harry I did, and I loved every second of it." Cho said. "Is that what you really want to hear?"

"If it's the truth." He said in a calm voice.

"It is." Cho said to him, and then she said the words he really didn't want to hear. "I'm sorry Harry, but I'm breaking up with you. I've found someone else who I love more then you and if you don't like it tough." She said then walked away.

A/N: Okay all I did was break up this chapter, so its still the same, I should be updating it soon though. So please R&R.
