A/N: This is a somewhat long drabble about what was going on through Ron's head in Half Blood Prince when Harry kissed Ginny for the first time in the Gryffindor common room. First person P.O.V. and lots of over-protective brother-ness!
It was madness. It seemed like the entire house had crowded into the Gryffindor common room. I felt so alive, I might as well have been electrified! We had won the Quidditch Cup! Ginny had done brilliant as seeker, and we had won, even without Harry! Speaking of Harry, I saw him enter the common room, a look of suspense quickly being replaced by a huge grin.
"We won!" I yelled to him, holding up the Cup just in case he couldn't figure this out himself. "We won! Four hundred and fifty to a hundred and forty! We won!" I watched as Ginny ran towards Harry and they embraced. That's odd, I thought. She must just be really proud that she won the game. Surely she doesn't fancy him anymore. It's been ages since she showed any signs of that. Then, right before my eyes, Harrybent down and kissed her! Right on the lips! I blinked several times. Apparently, this was not my imagination. My best mate was snogging my little sister in front of at least 50 people! When did this happen? I demanded silently. Have they done this before without my knowing? Oh, Harry is so dead! I don't care if he's supposed to defeat the Dark Lord and save the wizarding world! We'll just have to find someone else to save us. If he doesn't take his grubby hands off of my baby sister right now-
That's when I realized something. Ginny was kissing back. Rather intensely, too. Oh, great! I screamed with rage, though no sound came out. First, Neville asks her to the Yule Ball, then Dean starts snogging her in a deserted corridor, and now Harry! What is with the boys in my dorm dating my sister? Seamus seems to be the only one I can trust... for now! And then there was that thing with Michael Corner! Why does Ginny keep falling for older boys? Well, obviously Harry has poor, naive Ginny under his spell. When I get my hands on him, he is going to wish he'd never been born. He may be better at spells than I am, but if I attack him from behind, he'll never suspect a thing. Plus, I am bigger than him, so I could probably just knock him around for a while.I was deep into my planning as to how I would punish Harry for this treachery when I noticed a few things. First of all, Hermione was absolutely beaming. Had she known about this? How could she have betrayed me like this? Okay, I certainly hadn't been there for her to talk to this year, but still! She could have mentioned that our best mate was seducing my baby sister! Second, Dean looked like he was about to crush something, while Romilda Vane looked like she was going to throw a fit. While it was nice to see those two rats miserable, I was still upset. It was the third thing that stopped me dead in my tracks. Harry and Ginny seemed to be grasping at each other, holding on for dear life. Ginny looked exactly like she had when she had flown on her own broomstick for the first time. Like her dream had finally come true. Like she knew that Harry would never hurt her, and she yearned to be with him for the rest of her life. Meanwhile, Harry looked more at peace than he ever had, and this really hit me. I've seen Harry asleep, and even when he's not having a nightmare, he never looks peaceful. The only other time I've ever seen Harry look so untroubled was when he was flying, and it looked like Harry would choose this over flying any day.
Finally, after what seemed like hours, Harry and Ginny broke apart. Harry looked around for a second before meeting my gaze. After a brief hesitation, I nodded my head very slightly as if to say, "If you must." Harry's face brightened, and he motioned for Ginny to join him as he walked out of the portrait hole. Alone. I may have just given my best friend permission to date my little sister, but now they're going out, alone? I force myself to stay seated. I'll let them have their fun for now. However, I'm going to have to have a talk with Harry when he gets back. A long, awkward talk that Harry might just survive, if just for Ginny's sake.
A/N: So, what did you think? This is actually my first Harry Potter fanfic, and I love the over-protective brother Ron angle, so I figured this would be as good a place to start as any. I've been thinking of continuing this as a series of drabbles about Harry and Ginny's relationship, at least through Half Blood Prince if not until the end of Deathly Hallows/until Harry and Ginny get married, as seen through Ron's eyes as an over-protective brother. I was thinking of the next chapter being about Ron giving Harry the big brother talk, and I have a few ideas after that, but if any of you have any ideas, I'd be glad to consider them. I am planning on doing this chronologically, so once one area of time is done, I will probably not be going back. Thanks for reading, and please review with feedback/ideas!
