Ron's POV

I fucking hate Hermione. I hate how she's always right. I hate her bushy hair. I hate her dumb cat. I hate how she drives my crazy. I hate her for going out with my brother. She could've liked any other bloke but no, she had to like my brother. My own fucking brother. But I think I hate myself more. I hate myself for falling for her, I hate myself for even thinking I had a chance with her and I hate myself for screwing things up with her. Fred and Hermione, should've seen it coming. They'd always been close but I'd always like to think we were closer. Apparently not. Seeing them holding hands and acting lovey dovey makes me sick. Just the thought of them together makes me sick. I wish Fred would just go die in a hole (I'd gladly dig it up for him). I know Fred's the likeable one. The funny one. The one that girls fall for. But I was kinda hoping that Hermione would fall for me and not Fred. Then again, why would she like me when Fred was always there for her?


The whispers followed Fred and Hermione everywhere the went (They had been together for nearly 2 months now). They didn't mind though. The only had eyes and ears for each other. So they didn't notice the dirty looks Ron was throwing them and they didn't notice how his hands would clench whenever they held hands or kissed and they didn't notice the pain in his eyes. But Angelina Johnson did and she understood what he felt because she felt the same way. Her heart wrenches whenever Fred kiss Hermione and her mind would scream "HOW DARE YOU STEAL HIM AWAY FROM ME? HE'S MINE!" But even though her heart was broken, she had a plan and she needed Ron Weasley to help her with it.

She sent him a note during breakfast saying "Meet me at the common room tonight. Wait until everybody is gone. This is important" Ron caught her eye and gave a subtle nod. She grinned evilly and left (cue maniacal laugh)


The day seemed longer to Ron. He was very much anxious to know what Angelina Johnson wanted from him. They were never actually talked to each other and that made Ron even more excited. If she wanted to meet up with him then it must really be important. All sorts of things ran through his head the whole day, each idea more unlikely than the last. After dinner he went straight to the common room and sat in his favorite armchair, only half listening to what Harry was saying. When there were only a handful of people left, Harry left and went up to bed.

Soon, it was only him and Angelina in the common room.

"What's up?" he asked nervously

"I know that you have feelings for Hermione and I know you know that I have feelings for Fred" she said, never meeting his eyes. Ron was confused. Where was this conversation heading? Of course he knew Angelina liked Fred. Everybody knew that. He sat down beside her. "And I reckon you don't like them together" Duh. Ron nodded slowly.

"And?" this conversation was making him uneasy

Angelina studied him for awhile before saying "I have a plan to get them to split up but I need your help."

"What is it then?" Angelina told him the whole plan. When she was finished, Ron looked at her in shock. This girl should have been sorted into Slytherin he thought. He weighed the pro's and the con's of the plan. Fred would've hate me for life if he found out! He won't find out. Hermione won't be with Fred and you might have a chance with her a small voice at the back of his head said

"I'm in"


The next day Ron approached Hermione during dinner. She was talking and laughing with Fred and they were holding hands and Ron had to use all of his willpower to stop himself from strangling Fred. It was a good thing Harry was there with him or he would've killed his brother. Ron tapped Hermione on the shoulder then cleared her throat. Her eyes widened in shock when she saw him "Ron?"

"Look Hermione, I'm really sorry for being a jerk to you these past few weeks and for telling Harry not to talk to you and for calling your cat stupid"

"Please forgive us Hermione. I missed talking to you." Harry added. Hermione grinned and hugged them both. Fred beamed at them, glad that the trio had made up.

"Can I talk to you outside?" Ron asked

"Yeah sure. I'll see you later Fred" she said. Angelina watched the scene and smiled. Everything was going right as planned

Once they were out of the Great Hall, Ron pulled her into a broom closet. He quickly cast a locking, silencing and enlargement on the closet.

"What's wrong Ron?"

He looked at her nervously. As much as he wanted Fred and Hermione to split up, he just can't watch Hermione get hurt and if she was happy then he was happy. He tossed and turned all night. "Angelina is planning to steal Fred away from you"

"Wh-WHAT?" she spluttered. "That's ridiculous Ron!" she studied him. He seemed serious, but then again, you can never tell if Ron was serious with something

"She told me all about Hermione! And I was planning to do it but I can't. Angelina told this Hufflepuff girl who had a huge crush on Fred that he really likes her and he was planning on breaking up with you already and she convinced the girl to set up a picnic there and she sent a note to Fred but she didn't put a name and told him go to the tower. Angelina told the girl to kiss Fred when they were there and the idiot girl would believe anything Angelina says and when she kisses Fred you were suppose to see it all then..I don't know what would happen but Angelina assumed you would break up" he looked at her, eyes pleading. She had to believe him

"I believe you" she said quietly. Ron let out a sigh of relief and checked his wristwatch, he was suppose to bring her up any moment now.

"What do we do?"

"We go up there now" she said and grinned. Grabbing Ron's hand, they ran to the Astronomy Tower
