In Dreams
(A/N: me first try at a romance. STILL SOME COMEDY!)
Chapter 1 September 3Recently Hermione, one of my best friends, became interested in meditation. Not just the stupid Muggle voodoo, but real magic stuff.
I'm Ron Weasley, and Hermione Granger and Harry Potter are my best friends here at Hogwarts.
I met Hermione in my first year while on the Hogwarts Express. Back then she had a massive overbite, intelligent brown eyes, and REALLY bushy hair. Well, she still has the hair, but she lost the overbite (thankfully). But she looked like a geek. And she proved it too, by being the top of every class.
I was hostile toward Hermione at first, but it was only because I was jealous. And drawn to her. Which makes no sense. But then again, I've never made sense, have I?
Then, when me and Harry saved Hermione from a troll, and she lied(to a TEACHER, btw) to save our skins, I decided I liked Hermione.
In our second year Hermione was petrified, and I was devastated. Yes, I realized I had started fancying Hermione.
In third year my leg was injured and Harry and Hermione went off to go save Sirius, leaving me in the Hospital Wing, feeling insanely jealous. I mean, it's not as though I thought Harry and Hermione were going to end up together, but just that Harry got to spend more time with him was driving me mad. Grrrr…
Fourth year- got in a fight with Harry. I have all these brothers who have all left their mark at Hogwarts, and I'm expected to compete with that? I don't wanna be 'that kid who was Harry Potter's friend.' And it didn't help when Hermione took Harry's side. I mean, I had already decided to apologize to Harry, but then Hermione goes off with him, and I'm angry again.. Then I make up with Harry. Mainly because I missed Hermione…
It's hard for me to talk about my feelings. I could have just told Harry why I was so upset in 4th year, but I didn't. I could've told Hermione I loved her but NO! This year's my last chance to tell her, and I've already wasted two days! AHHH!
Later, still September 3Well, there's not a lot to say about what I did today, unless you want a blow by blow account of how I ate dinner…
Reading over what I wrote about Hermione this morning, I realized two things.
I can describe my emotions to this little book, but not to anyone else. Weird.
I didn't explain Hermione's new interest in the mind.
She's been absorbed in this meditation book ever since we got here. She's barely said two words to me. I hope this phase doesn't last long, because I REALLY need to talk to her.
September 5Okay, I'm really concerned now. She's putting her HOMEWORK on hold to read that book. I think she's seriously ill.
I tried to have a conversation with her, but she just brushed me off.
"Ronald," she said, "I'm busy." I got angry.
"What's so interesting in that stupid book that keeps you away from your friends?" Hermione slammed the book shut and looked at me.
"You know the Horcruxes Harry told us about? I think someone hid one at Hogwarts."
"What?" I asked incredulously. "Wouldn't someone have found it?"
"No one found the Chamber of Secrets, did they?" she quipped. "We need someone who knows the castle like the like the back of his hand. This book describes how to bring someone from the past here for three days." My eyes widened.
"The Marauders," I breathed. Hermione nodded.
"We wouldn't bring Peter, of course," she said.
"Hold on, what makes you think a Horcrux is here?"
Remember the note that was inside the fake Horcrux, signed R.A.B.? I think it was Regulus Black. He didn't like the killing and wanted to quit. He knew he couldn't back out, so he decided he'd help the Order before he died. He found out about the Horcruxes and stole one. Then he hid it where Voldemort couldn't find it: Hogwarts. Then he made a big show of being a coward and trying to break ties with Voldemort, even though he knew he would die. But he also knew that he couldn't tell where it was hidden if he was dead." I goggled at her.
"That's bloody brilliant, Hermione! But how would Regulus know about the Horcruxes?"
"I think he might have been a Seer and had a vision about it, but I'm not sure." That was the end of our conversation. Hermione had started reading again.
In other news, Harry stuffed Blaise Zabini down a toilet today. Even after
last year, most of the Slytherins are still here. Even Malfoy's here. He says he was under the Imperius Curse. No one believes him, but the stupid new Minister of Magic, Rufus whatshisname declared him innocent. How that happened I will never know. Maybe Rufus is the one under the Imperius Curse? As soon as we heard Malfoy was coming back, Harry, hermione and I dropped our plans of moving to Godric's Hollow and came back to keep an eye on him. Now, though, Slytherins don't have house points or Quidditch teams. Hehe.
Anyway, Zabini was making fun of Ginny, and Harry happened by (he fancies her) and he got angry. So he stuffs him down a toilet. Bloody genius. Incidentally, it was the same toilet Montague was found in after Fred and George shoved him into the Vanishing Cabinet. I couldn't stop laughing.
