Chapter 4 - Shock
It was at times like this that Hermione appreciated just how good of a friend Ginny was. She was really the only girl she could relater to, and she'd been there whenever she needed her.
It was also at times like this that Ginny showed uncanny similarities of her brother and especially- her mother.
"You prat!" Ginny said emotionally, "You and Ron broke up for a stupid reason like that!" she finished with her hands on her hips.
"Well…err…yes," Hermione said weakly.
"Are you serious? You've wasted seven years of your life sulking instead of thinking because you felt sorry that you were stupid enough to dump him in the first place!" Ginny said high pitched.
"Well-" Hermione tried to defend herself.
"Now that you've actually started to think again, like the Hermione I know, you've finally realized that there might b e some hope in this world!" Ginny finished.
"Well, yes," Hermione said looking at the floor.
The silence echoed around the room.
"Are you done?" Hermione asked tentatively.
"For now," Ginny sighed.
"Would you like some tea?" Hermione asked with a grin.
Ginny looked at Hermione trying to suppress her grin, but ended up bursting out laughing. "Of course I would like some tea," she said.
They sat in the kitchen, enjoying a warm cup of tea, chatting away like teenage girls. Hermione had turned the news on to have something going in the background. They talked about their days at Hogwarts, and things that Hermione had missed during the past seven years. She found that there had been no signs of either Ron or Harry and many were concerned about her well being.
They chatted away, practically oblivious to their surroundings when a news story that flashed across the television screen caught Hermione's eye. Her jaw dropped and she motioned Ginny to turn and look at the screen.
A soccer coach was being interviewed by the local news station after his team had won the league title.
"We weren't the best, the most talented, or the smartest," he said proudly, "but we worked the hardest and best as a team."
The two young women were in shock.
Why was Ron Weasley on the muggle news?
