Disclaimer: As pained as I am to admit it, I do not own anything related to
Harry Potter.
A/N: This was the first fic I ever published! And it used to be really really bad! But now I fixed it...it's not perfect....but it's MUCH better than it used to be! I hope you guys enjoy! Oh, and this takes place in their sixth year.
An Open Window
Chapter One: A Light Breeze
Harry ran down to the Great Hall to meet up with Ron and Hermione for breakfast. As he approached the Gryffindor table he could hear Ron and Ginny fighting again.
"Ginny! What has gotten into you?" Ron lectured for what seemed like the millionth time. "Okay, tell me again, what number is this one?"
"Honestly, I have only had one boyfriend this year. Ron, you are in your sixth year! I would've thought by now you would have gotten over the fact that I'm growing up!" Ginny was getting angry at Ron for being...well himself, an over protective big brother.
"But, Ginny, I haven't had a single girlfriend in my life, and you have already had three boyfriends!"
"You're just jealous!" Ginny shot back at him.
Taken aback Ron tried to defend himself. "I am not jealous!"
"It's not my fault you haven't plucked up enough courage to ask out H...." Ron's hand flew over Ginny's mouth.
"No one! Er...yes no one, that's right Ginny I don't like anyone at the moment." Ron said quickly while looking around to make sure that no on heard what Ginny had almost said. Ron let Ginny go after Professor Flitwick looked at him strangely.
"Sure, whatever," Ginny said giggling and turning an all-too-familiar shade of red. Ron and Ginny continued to fight for several minutes. Harry took this opportunity to ask Hermione something that had been bothering him for the past few days.
"Hermione, do you have feelings for Ron?" Harry said casually trying not to attract attention to the question. Hermione blushed a deep shade of red. Seeing Hermione's embarrassment Harry added, "Because everyone know that Ron likes you...well...except for Ron."
Hermione looked as if this had all come as a surprise to her. "No, he's always...He...Really?" Hermione looked as if she had just won the lottery.
"Would I lie to you about something like that?" Harry said while thinking about something Ron had hidden in a lose floorboard in their dormitory titled "Reasons Why Ron Loves Hermione". Harry didn't know much about Ron's shrine to Hermione, but from what he could tell there was a whole section dedicated to Viktor Krum. Harry noted that many pictures of Krum looked as if they had been scorched.
"Well...that's some useful information...um...Harry if you don't mind I'm going to take a walk with Ginny." Hermione rushed off to Ginny. Harry was pretty sure that she was going to bombard Ginny with questions about Ron.
Harry turned around to join Ron, but he was nowhere in sight. As Ginny and Hermione walked past him, Harry asked where Ron was.
"Ron? Oh, you mean the same Ron who harasses me about my social life? He saw you and Hermione talking, and then he just kind of ran away. I think he might be in his dormitory." Ginny said, obviously still angry about the fight that they had had.
Harry made his way back to the dormitory. When Harry got there, he found Ron ripping apart one of his books. The ripped pages were being carried out the window by a light breeze. "Ron, have you gone mad?" Harry asked as he approached Ron.
"What do you think?" Ron shot back at him as he tore another page out of his book and threw it behind him.
Harry watched it fly out the open window. "Is this about Hermione by any chance?" Harry said guessing.
"No, I like ripping things up for fun," Ron responded sarcastically. "Of course, Harry! Don't you see it? She hates me! She must like Krum, or—you! You were talking to her, alone! Hermione looked all pleased...and...and you asked her out! That's it! And right now you're about to tell me that she said yes. Now our trio's down to one. It's just me because you two are planning to spend the rest of your lives goggling over each other...and....and...MY LIFE IS OVER!" Harry was quite sure at this point that Ron had gone mad. Ron stood up and tore the last pages out of the book. Harry had never seen Ron this angry before; it was almost scary the way he was acting.
"Ron you've got it all wrong..." Harry stopped short. He just now noticed that the book in Ron's hands, or rather the cover of the book whose contents were now scattered all over the grounds, was labeled "Reasons Why Ron Loves Hermione".
"Ron, is that your book...er... you know the book that..." Ron finished Harry's sentence.
"That if Hermione ever found I would throw myself out a window while holding my wand to my head, and then swim to the bottom of the lake in January? And if any other person besides Hermione found I would run away from home and live a life of crime? Yes, that would be the one." Ron said as if it was memorized.
"Oh yes, well..." Harry ran over to the window and looked around outside. "Yes well..."
"Spit it out Harry!"
"If you haven't noticed the pages of your book 'if Hermione ever found you would throw yourself out a window while holding your wand to your head', is currently in a rather large pile at the foot of the tower. Oh, and if you don't do something quick there is a slight chance that Hermione will stumble across them because," Harry got up and looked out the window, "Hermione is going to find your papers in approximately 160 meters walking at a brisk pace."
Ron stood there clueless for several seconds. Out of nowhere Ron ran to his trunk and pulled out his broom. "Harry can I barrow you Invisibility Cloak, I'll give it right back?" Ron raced towards Harry's trunk.
"Sure, I guess...what are you doing?" Harry watched Ron pull out his Invisibility Cloak and throw it over himself.
"I'm going to cover myself in your cloak, fly out the window, and retrieve all of the pages of my book before Hermione sees them." Ron said determinedly as he mounted his broom and flew out the window.
"RON!" Harry yelled out the window after him while waving his arms wildly," RON! THE SUMMONING CHARM! USE THE SUMMONING CHARM! YOU KNOW, ACCIO PAGES!" As soon as Harry performed the spell a couple of the pages flew to him. Hermione and Ginny appeared to be walking ever faster now. "Ron is too dense for his own good," Harry muttered to himself as he ran to go distract Hermione and Ginny.
A/N: So...what did you think? Chapter two should be up within a week!
