Chapter 3 Built Up Emotions

Harry slammed the door shut behind Ron and laid his head against it. What the hell happened to the school? The day started out normal, and then everyone started to go mad. Harry gave a sigh and turned back to his two friends. Ron was sitting with Hermione in his lap. Even with her face buried in Ron's shoulder, Harry could tell that she was crying by the way her body shook. Harry walked over and took a seat next to Ron and put his hand on Hermione's shoulder, trying to calm her. It seemed to only make her cry even more. Harry gave another sigh and began rubbing her shoulder. Ron tried to hide the jealous look on his face, but failed miserably. Harry sighed again and took his hand off of Hermione's shoulder and ran it through his hair.

I don't know why he's so possessive with Hermione. Harry thought while leaning his head back to rest against the wall. It's not like I'm trying to take her away from him. He knows I'm in love with Gin-

"Ginny." The name barely escaped his lips." I have to go find her. I can't believe I forgot about her. I'm like the world's biggest git right now."Harry jumped up and made his way to the door. At the sound of Ginny's name, Hermione had stopped crying and gave Harry a concerned look. She knew it would be pretty much impossible to stop him from going to look for her.

"Harry, you can't-"

"I can and I will. What I can't do is just sit around here knowing that anything could be happening to her. I left her out there." A single tear escaped his eyes."I can't lose her Hermione."

Hermione made her way over to Harry and gave him a comforting hug."I'm sure she's ok Harry. She's a smart girl-"

At that moment the door of the Room of Requirement burst open. The trio let out a yell and leapt behind a sofa that had appeared out of thin air. Foot steps were heard making their way into the room. The door was slammed shut and the room went quiet. A few whispers were spoken and then the foot steps approached the sofa.

Harry turned to Ron to tell him something that had been eating away at him every time he looked Ron in the eye."Ron, Ginny has been sleeping with me ever since the term started. The noises that you hear aren't me having nightmares. I thought you might want to know before we-"

Harry wasn't able to finish his confession, when Ron tackled him to the ground."What did you do to my sister?! You know what? Don't even tell me. I might just kill you myself."

Hermione let out a scream when three figures made their way around the sofa."Oh please don't kill us."

"Here. Take Harry." Ron grabbed Harry by the shirt and threw him on the ground in front of the three figures.

"Thanks a lot mate. I feel the love." Harry mumbled while he pulled himself off the ground.

The three figures closed in on them from both sides of the sofa. Ron grabbed on to Hermione and let out an earsplitting scream.

"Oh, honestly Ron." One of the figures said.

"Lumos." One of the other figures muttered. In front of them stood Ginny, Dean, and Neville. All wore marks from the chaos taking place in the school. Ginny's hair was disheveled. Dean had a cut above his right eyebrow. Neville's school robes looked as if they had been through a fire. When Ginny caught Harry's eye, she gave him an understanding smile. Harry immediately jumped to his feet and held Ginny as tight as he could without hurting her. He then bent down and took her lips with his. Ginny wrapped her hands around Harry's neck and slammed him into the wall. Harry ran his hands down her sides to her waist and squeezed her ass. Ginny let out a moan and started to take off her shirt before they were brought back to reality by a small voice.

"Uh. I hate to interrupt, but there are people in here with you."It was Hermione. Harry and Ginny separated and turned to their audience expecting the worse. Hermione wore a smirik that could challenge Malfoy's. Dean was trying his hardest to busy himself by polishing his wand.(A/N The one you do magic with people) Harry caught Ron's eye and was taken aback by the intense hate in them. Ron raised his wand and began to make his way across the room.

"Ron, don't! It's not that big of a deal!" Hermione had both arms wrapped around Ron's waist trying to hold him back. With his free hand, Ron grabbed Hermione by the throat and threw her to the floor. Hermione remained on the floor gasping for air.

"Ron, what the hell do you think you're doing?!" Harry yelled. He didn't know what was wrong with Ron, but hurting Hermione was crossing the line.

"H-Harry. I t-think he may be one...of them." Hermione managed to say while picking herself off the ground. A bruise had already begun to form around her neck.

"Reducto." Ron said barely above a whisper. The attack was so sudden that Harry barely had time to grab Ginny and bring her to the ground with him. The spell hit the patch of wall directly where Harry's head had been.

"Stupefy." Ron said again barely above a whisper. This time Harry was ready. He conjured up a shield in time to reflect the spell back at Ron. The spell struck Ron in the stomach, sending him flying through the air before finally falling to the ground unconscious.

"What the hell just happened?" Harry coouldn't believe he was the reason why Ron was lying on the ground unconscious.

"It's not your fault Harry" Hermione had already knelt down at Ron's side."He turned into one of them. Now I think I know how it happens. He was already angry when you told him about you and Ginny's "Hide the Wand" games. I think when he saw you two practically having sex against the wall, it pushed him to the limit. If I am correct, they turn into them when they are overcome by anger...Rage! I've heard about a curse that causes everyone in the vicinity to be easy overcome by rage! The only way to stop the rage is to knock the person unconscious or by putting the person to sleep. Only time can cure the Rage Curse. I think it best if we just let Ron sleep it off." With that said, she sat down on the sofa and pulled out a book. Harry looked at Ginny who look at Dean who looked at Neville. They all shrugged and took a seat on the sofa and decided to wait for Ron to awaken.
