It had all started as this stupid thing.
"C'mon, 'Mione! I thought we were friends!" he begged, trying to play the guilt card. I rolled my eyes.
"We are, but I'm not going to write your essay for you. A true friend would never do that, or else you'll never learn!" I sighed. I was already feeling quite irritable that morning, due to not getting much sleep, and Ron was not helping.
"I will learn, I promise. I'll read through and memorize the essay, I just need some help starting, that's all"
"That's what you said last time, and you never looked at your essay ever again after I not only helped you starting, but after I finished it. The answer is no, Ronald. If you'd actually pay attention in class for once, your homework wouldn't be that difficult to you" Ron shot me an ugly glare, but quickly stopped and sighed in defeat, as he looked down at his essay with a complete miserable look on his face. I felt a stab of guilt, but I had to stand my ground. How else was Ron supposed to learn anything?
I took a sip off my coffee, thinking that it would be the best way to wake up after that dreadful night. I shook my head, trying to get the pictures from the nightmares out, before I picked up and read through the Daily Prophet. Not much interesting, but that was a good thing. I was enjoying the freedom now that Voldemort was gone for good. Nobody had expected Harry to point his own wand at his temple and shout the killing curse while Voldemort possessed him in the Ministry. But he did, and the result was that he killed the part of Voldemort inside him. Voldemort was now gone.
I was interrupted in my thoughts as I felt realized someone was watching me. I looked up, only to see Ron staring at me. I raised a brow in confusion
"How do you do it?" he asked. "How can you just sit there and drink your coffee and read? You do it every morning! Don't you think it's boring?" I chuckled, drank the rest of the coffee and put it down, along with the newspaper.
"Reading isn't boring" I commented lightly. Ron huffed, and looked over at Harry who chuckled. He was used to our quarrels, and had learned to enjoy them (as long as nobody got hurt).
"Honestly, 'Mione. No offence, but if it wasn't for me and Harry, you'd be such a bore" Ron commented through a mouthful of food, spitting breadcrumbs everywhere.
"Why? Because I like being able to write my own essay?" I retorted, brushing off the breadcrumbs that Ron had spilled on my newspaper. Harry snorted in his pumpkinjuice, and Ron shot me a nasty glare, but quickly calmed down.
"I wouldn't be a bore, right Harry?" I asked, raising a brow. Harry put his hands up in the air, not wanting to be dragged into it.
"Hah! See? Harry agrees with me!" Ron exclaimed.
"He didn't say anything!" I retorted
"A look can say more than a thousand words" Ron looked far too pleased as he watched me becoming more and more aggravated.
"To your information, I've done some badass things in my time" I said, trying and failing at sounding cool and collected.
"Well, yes, but like I said, you only did those things because of me and Harry" I sighed in frustration.
"Don't you have an essay to do?" I asked, now trying to ignore the boys.
"Changing the subject, are we? Seems like I actually won an argument with Hermione Granger, the cleverest witch of her age or somethinglikethat" he bragged, proudly. I scoffed.
"You haven't won anything. I just don't want to waste my time with stupid "what ifs". I know I'd still be badass without you" I barked.
"Prove it" said a voice behind me. I turned around, and saw Fred and George smiling evilly. I rolled my eyes.
"I don't remember inviting you to our conversation" I muttered, just loud enough for them to hear me, before pretending to turn my attention to my newspaper again.
"No, I like it. Prove that you're badass. Break a rule or something" Ron continued. Now both Ron, Harry, Fred and George were watching me with excitement and anticipation. I rolled my eyes at their childishness. Oh, the joy of having male friends.
"Come oooooon. You were the one just saying that you can be a total badass. All we want is for you to prove it" said George enthusiastically.
"Being badass and acting like a child is two things, but I wouldn't expect any of you to know the difference" I said, sipping on my glass of water. Ron scoffed and rolled his eyes, looking at the other boys and saying:
"I told you she was a bore" with an unimpressed look on his face. I felt my own face grow a darker shade. I put the glass back down on the table, a little harder than necessary, which caused water spilling everywhere and both Ron and Harry to jump. Feeling the anger bubble in my veins, I asked:
"Even if I did decide to prove myself, what would I have to do?" Evil grins found their place on every last one of the boys, and I immediately regretted what I had said.
