I, Ronald Bilius Weasley, am an idiot.
I laid on my bed, wiping away the small tears that escaped my eyes every few minutes. I bet many of you are wondering what's going on with me and I will be completely honest with you.
I have no clue.
I know I know. "Ron how can you be upset and not know why?", Again I have no clue. Actually, I did know one reason. Apparently I wasn't good enough to be Harry's friend. This day has been so confusing and I just wish someone would clue me in on why I was suddenly an asshole.
*Flashback: 2 HOURS BEFORE*
I was relaxing in the common room when suddenly Lavender rushed in from the portrait hole. "Won Won!", She squealed as she jumped on my lap. I tried to ignore the urge to flinch at the sound of her screech and put on my best grin. "Hey Lavender, what's up?" I asked. She giggled as she nuzzled my neck. "Nothing much, just missing you." She said in a baby voice. I had to again resist the urge to roll my eyes at my girlfriend. Honestly, we are in sixth year, why did she still act as though she was an infant.
I looked down at the blonde in my lap and was surprised to see anger mixed with hatred in her eyes. I was about to ask her if someone had upset when the Fat Lady swung open. I turned my head just enough to see pretty much everyone in Gryffindor rush in before Lavender yanked my head back and kissed me. Roughly.
I sat there, shocked and confused as Lavender stood from my lap, smirked at everyone and walked up to the girls dorm. I turned my head to look at my friends and was even more shocked to find Harry at the front, crying. Like a flash of lightning I was up and at Harry's side, pulling him into a hug. "Harry mate, what's the matter?" I asked as I felt him cry into my chest.
"It's nothing Ron.. I'm just gonna go for a walk." He said softly as he pulled away. I watched him walk out, slightly hurt he wouldn't tell me what had happened. I stood there for a few minutes before a voice pulled me from my thoughts. "You are an utter wanker Ron Weasley." It said. I turned to find it was Dean who had spoken. I was about to ask where that came from when I noticed almost every pair of eyes in the room were now glaring at me, apart from Hermione who looked conflicted.
"How could you be so heartless?" Patil Twins.
"How could you do that to your best friend?" Sheamus.
"You're a bigger prat than we thought, Ronniekins." The Twins.
I felt my blood boil but also I felt my heart dropping. It was my fault Harry was upset? I felt my heart tighten like a vice in my chest. Everyone's voice started to get louder and louder and I reached up to grip at my hair. Hermione saw my distress and instantly tried to get everyone to be quiet.
Louder and louder they got, causing my heart to clench even tighter till I thought it would burst. I almost started to cry when one sentence was said louder then the rest.
"You never deserved Harry in your life, never deserved to be his friend.", I had no idea who said it, but it felt like someone had casted the Cruciatus Curse on my heart.
"I'm sorry okay?! I never meant to hurt Harry! I don't even know what I did but I'm sorry! I would never purposely hurt Harry, he is my best mate! So thanks everyone! Thanks for making me feel like a piece of shit for hurting my best friend on accident." I yelled, feeling tears prick at the corner of my eyes. I wiped angrily at my cheeks as I felt my tears spill over. I stormed up towards the dorm and once I reached the room, I spelled the door locked and threw myself onto my bed.
I truly never meant to hurt Harry..
*END OF FLASHBACK*
I stared at my ceiling, clenching my fist. I just wish I knew what I did to upset him so much. A sudden tapping at the door shook me from my thoughts. I sent a glare towards the door and turned on my side. "Ron..? May I come in?", Came the soft voice of Hermione. I sighed softly and unlocked the door. I watched as my poofy haired best friend walked into the room, re-locking the door. She came over and sat on the bed besides me and looked down at me.
I wiped my face clean as I sat up to face her. She looked at me for a few minutes, as though she was studying for an exam. After a few minutes of silence she spoke up. "You honestly don't know why Harry's upset do you?" She asked in a soft voice. "No Mione. I really don't know what I did." I said.
Hermione looked me again, thinking once more. I just sat there, letting her have her thoughts. Again it was a few minutes before she spoke. "Ron.. Did Lavender just randomly show up in the common room before we showed up?", She asked. I thought for a moment before answering, "Actually, yeah she did. She kinda just barged in and she was acting weird before you and the others walked in and she almost broke my neck when she forced my head around to kiss me." I confessed.
I watched as Hermione nervously chewed on her nail, staring out the window. "What is it Hermione? If you know something please tell me." I pleaded. She took a deep breath as she turned towards me again. "It's Lavender's fault Harry is upset." She told me in a stern voice. I looked her, dumbstruck. How..? At my confused stare, she continued. "Before we came back to the tower, we were in the great hall when Harry told us he had an announcement. I guess when he was telling us, Lavender over heard and came rushing to you before we could." She explained. Once again I just sat there in confusion. What could Harry have announced that made Lavender want to hurt him? I mean I knew she never particularly liked Harry, but why would she hurt my best mate like this?
"Hermione, what did Harry tell you all that made Lavender react the way she did?", I asked her slowly. Mione bit her lip, looking out the window once more. I reached over and gripped her shoulders. "Hermione what did Harry tell you?" I demanded. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath before looking me in the eye.
"He's in love with you Ron."
