Chapter 5- Boy Troubles
A/N: I am acctually not allowed on the internet until Feb, so I'm having my friend post the chappies till then(the friends is Aks a.k.a. anonymuz).
Ginny POV
"Hermione!" I cried, throwing my arms around her.
"Hey Ginny!" she exclaimed, returning the hug.
"Do you want a butterbeer?" I asked. "I cane down here to get one.
"No, it's ok."
"Are you going to stay here?" I asked, glancing at her suitcase and parcels. She nodded.
"Tom! Can you please get a room for Hermione and make it near my room, Room 15?" I asked politely.
"Sure ma'am, Room 20is open."
"That will do," I said. "Can you put her stuff in it?"
"Yes, of course, ma'am."
"No! Don't take these," Hermione said., taking two cages from Tom and putting them on the table.
"Is she yours?" I asked pointing to a small golden owl.
"Yes, do you want to hold her?"
"Do I ever!" I replied, happily. "What's her name?"
"Athena," Hermione replied, handing her to me.
"Oh! That's a really pretty name. Isn't that the name of some Roman goddess or something?"
"Greek," Hermione corrected. "Athena is the Greek goddess of wisdom."
"That fits her perfectly. When did you get her?"
"I got her yesterday, along with my other stuff."
"Oh yeah, I remember you were here yesterday, when we came here."
"Hermione glanced around the pub quickly, almost afraid.
"So where are the boys?" she asked trying to sound casual, but failing miserably.
"They're at Quality Quidditch Supplies. Do you want to go upstairs?"Hermione nodded.
I took the butterbeer that the bartender handed me and started upstairs.
Hermione had always been the calm and collected one.
The way she was acting worried me.
What could have happened to make her come apart like that?
Maybe it was boy troubles.
Yeah, that sounded right.
That would answer why she wanted to know where the boys were.
"So, Hermione, what's wrong?" I asked concerned. "Boy troubles?"
Hermione gave me a small smile.
"How did you guess?"
"Hermione, I can read you like I can read an open book. So, what's up?"
"It isn't anything, really," Hermione stated, her voice quivering.
"Come on, Hermione, I know something's up. You trust me don't you?" I urged gently.
My head shot up when I heard a small sob.
"Hermione," I comforted softly. "It can't be that big of a deal."
"But that's the thing," Hermione's sobbed. "It is!"
"It's just a boy, Hermione."
"What do you mean 'it's just a boy' ? Now Ron hates me and it's not like Harry likes me that much either!" Hermione sobbed loudly.
"Why?" I asked surprised.
"I never told them that I had a sister until I really had to," Hermione replied between sobs.
"You have a sister?" I asked surprised, but not the least bit angry.
"You aren't angry?" Hermione asked, incredulously.
"No, Why should I be?I mean you must have had a reason to have kept in from us, and I won't ask you what it is." I informed her. "I'm you friend Hermione," I reminded her, giving her a tight hug.
"I guess Harry and Ron don't feel the same way,: Hermione replied wryly.
"Well, Ron you know has a bad temper, and I don't think Harry's that mad at you," I informed her.
"Really?"I nodded.
"Hi Ginny!" Harry exclaimed, not noticing Hermione.
"Hi," Ron greeted. "What's she doing here?" Ron questioned angrily.
Hermione ran out of the room, sobbing.
"Ron!" I said, looking at him accusingly.
"What?" he asked, like he hadn't done anything wrong. "You saw how much you hurt Hermione! Don't act innocent!"
"Who, her?" Ron asked.
"Yes, her? She never did anything to hurt you, did she?" I retorted angrily.
"Well, she did keep a huge secret from both of us," Harry burst out.
"What if you were in her position, huh? From what I gather she had no friends until you felt sorry for her and became her friends. In her position, I don't think anyone would ruin your friendship."
Harry looked like he was going to say something, but stopped himself and nodded instead.
"Ron? How about you?" I asked sharply. "What do you think?"
"I would still tell them," Ron replied grudgingly.
"Come on Ron!" I exclaimed. "If the fact that you were a Weasley would get in the way of one of your friendships, you would try to hide it!"
Ron shook his head furiously, "I would not! Even if I wanted my hair would give me away!"
"Well, what if this person was a muggle born, and didn't know about the trademark Weasley hair and freckles?" I asked, trying to be patient.
"I still wouldn't keep it a secret. Anyone who wouldn't like the fact that I was a Weasley shouldn't be my friend."
"Ugggh!" I screamed in annoyance. "You're hopeless!"
I stomped out of my room and ran to Hermione's.
Hermione was still crying.
"Hermione, oh, Hermione!" I comforted, pulling her into a tight hug.
Her sobs gradually decreased in volume until they stopped completely.
Hermione looked at me with her tearstained face.
"Well, I guess I was right," I tried to say cheerfully. "Harry isn't mad at you, and I think he'll be able to convince Ron...eventually."
"EVENTUALLY?! EVENTUALLY?! How long is EVENTUALLY?!?!?!"
"Soon," I whispered. "I hope."
A/N: Sorry it's a short chappie. I'll try to make the next one longer.
