So here's chapter two guys. here does nothing.
"um, I'm sorry I didn't order this." Rosie spoke politely to the bartender of the local pub. The bar was busy tonight, people piling in and out, and they were less then civil. Drunkenly shouting orders and sneering rude remarks about not yet receiving their drinks. Rosie didn't want to add to the poor mans troubles.
"I'm sorry miss, compliments of the gentlemen at the end of the bar."
The bartender pointed down the bar while trying to balance a tray of drinks. Rosie looked and saw a very sophisticated looking man surrounded by cohorts, toasting his glass in her direction. Ron turned to get a look at her admirer and chuckled.
"Must be hard. Being a bloody goddess." he joked.
Rose rolled her eyes. They had been having a perfectly good time, and of course another cheeky womanizer had to put Rosie in an awkward position with his tacky attempts to flirt.
Ron was one of the two men in Rosie's life that she was glad to never receive comment on her looks from, and his little crack made her cringe. It was usually awkward for Harry and Ron to point out Rosie's beauty, they were her two best guy friends. Of course there was no arguing that goddess was right in the ball park when it came to describing her. Rosie was voted most eligible witch of the century by the daily profit. And she certainly hadn't needed the help of being in with the famous Harry potter to put her on the cover of the paper. No, Rosie's daring eyes and seductive pout could part a crowd at first glance. She tossed back her blondish brown hair and folded her hands over her long, luxurious legs.
"so."
she wanted to change the subject and forget about the snooty man still eyeing her. " We haven't talked much since the start of this case, you me and Harry. I mean it's only been a week but…"
Ron took a long swig of his drink. He didn't like thinking about the case. The dead muggles. Hermione's life at stake. He cringed at the thought. "I know...I know it must be hard."
Rose offered a sympathetic smile. Ron shrugged. " what's hard? Everyone trusts that Malfoy bloke to protect Hermione, and I can't go two feet near her without doing something wrong, even though all I've wanted to do is help."
Ron made a face, speaking the situation made it feel worse then tossing it over and over in his mind. "You are helping." Rosie said. "by working to find the killer." Ron smirked.
"huh. Yeah, catching the bad guy and fucking up any relationship I might have with Hermione forever. I'm a real hero."
Rosie sighed. Things would be so much easier if Ron would only do what everyone wanted, which was get over Hermione. REALLY get over her. But Ron hadn't been much for caring what others thought. Especially about him and Hermione. His mind was set. Something about Rons stubbornness Rosie oddly admired. She wasn't sure what, but something.
"look Ron, I can sit here and tell you over and over to just move on, but I'm wasting my breath unless you start to realize that this is the way things are."
Ron pretended to be interested in a bubble floating in his glass, then spoke. "...there's no one else Rose. There won't ever be anyone else."
Rosie didn't know what to say. Ron had never been the serious type. Even now that he'd grown up. Hearing him profess his emotions so strongly was a little more than strange. Rosie thought for a moment.
"I know. But I just want this to be as painless for you as possible." Rosie felt for Ron. How he could stand loosing the girl he loved, she wasn't sure.
"Ron?"
Ron looked up to meet Rosie's eyes. " I hate seeing you like this. You deserve better. I want you to be happy Ron please just-". Rosie could hear herself pleading. Why was she pressing so hard? Ron seemed to noticed and stared at her curiously. She sighed. " I just want everything to turn out ok. but for now, I suppose the plan you've got is what's best for the case. Pretend to be over Hermione. Now everyone can focus on the killer instead of drama. But try and get through this. For... Herminone. For the sake of her safety. Oh and please and don't let Malfoy get to you."
Rose still laughed at the thought of Malfoy protecting Hermione. He was more civil, but hadn't changed much over the years. With his new job, Malfoy didn't hesitate to state his opinion about Ron and Harry. What was worse was Hermione almost seemed to take his side. At least when it came to Ron. "...Ok yeah your right. Ron reasoned." I need to focus on what's important." Ron swallowed the last of his drink. Rosie smiled, thankful he agreed with her.
" And I'll be here when you need me."
Ron smiled back. Slowly, but a genuine smile. Something about that made him feel hopeful.
" I know you will be Rosie."
Whoo ok. Again, I hope im not boring you to death, hope this didn't suck too bad. For now Ron's main conflict will be juggling his emotions, and trying to figure out what he's going to do about Hermione. Should he apologize, being on good terms with Hermione, but never really being happy. Or should he just leave the situation the way it is, and focus on the case. He's not sure what to do. Thanks for reading, and again, if that review section's lookin lonely, you know what to do. I'll wait for at least one review before I keep going. fair? Ok guys, bye.
