I've decided to reply to reviews here now for the previous chapter. So here it is:

Reply to reviewers:

First off, I just want to thank you for your reviews on the last chapter, I appreciate it a lot. I like to know your thoughts on my story.

KansasMac said: "Ron and Hermione have one fight and Hermione responds by jumping into bed with George? ... George seems like kind of a scum bag in this story ... I just feel so bad for Ron, being hurt or betrayed by pretty much everyone he cares about."

To tell you the truth, Ron is one of my favorite characters in Harry Potter, however, everyone has to have a bad day every now and then. This just seems like it is his bad day. However, be sure to give it time; circumstances have a way of changing.

GoodbyeYBR said: "Wow. I have to consider this more of a love Pentagon?"

I think you could take it that way. In all honesty Fred or George weren't supposed to come into the story at all, but every time I write I change my mind about how I want the chapter to flow (I think that's why situations keep getting worse instead of better), and yes, once I brought George into the story I think it does deserve to be called a love pentagon instead of a square.

The characters aren't mine, only the story. Now read it...

CHAPTER 9

Taking a Break

"Tell me what mate?" Harry looked curiously at Ron.

"Now's not the time to be asking me questions," Ron spat. "Just get your clothes on, and get the hell away from my sister!"

"Ron, she came onto me," Harry defended.

Ginny decided here was a good point to throw in her two cents, "And I wouldn't have had to if you didn't force me to!"

"You mean that you did this because Ron forced you too?" Harry said as he turned his head towards Ginny, looking at her filled with curiosity.

"No," Ginny replied. "Don't get me wrong, I definitely wanted to."

"But what?" Harry asked knowing there was another part to this story.

"But nothing!"

"Well...if you wanted to, then why are you placing this as being Ron's fault?"

"Yeah, Ginny...if this was at your own free will, how come you are making it my fault?" Ron asked in agreement with Harry.

"Ron! I know you know how this is because of you, or at least that it happened today!" Ginny exclaimed. Just bloody tell him already! He knows something is up, and it's too late to take anything back now! Just tell him so this whole situation can be fixed."

This made Ron kind of separate himself from what was going on around him, and the questions being thrown at him. The words Ginny had just said to him had given him a sudden realization. A lot had happened today, and a lot of mistakes had been made, including on his part. The words kept ringing through his head, 'it's too late to take anything back now.' All morning all he could think about was taking everything he said or did back. He wished he could take back yelling at Hermione, he wished he could take back hurting his brother (even though he still thought he deserved that), because it was his fault. If he had been honest with Harry in the first place, there would have to be no hidden emotions between himself and Hermione, and if there were no hidden emotions, Harry and Ginny wouldn't be here in this position. As well as Fred and George wouldn't have discovered them outside in the yard that morning, and that might have even changed the course of all events for the day. This also made him think about Ginny's words about how all he could do now was just fix the situation.

"Ron?" Harry questioned as he, as well as Fred and Ginny stared at Ron with worried faces. "You okay mate? You seem kind of out of it."

Ron had come back from his daze and answered Harry, "Yeah, sorry mate. Were you saying something?"

"I was only asking if you could fill me in on, what clearly everyone knows about except for me?"

"Get some clothes on and we'll talk. I think I need to go fix a current problem I have. I'll be there to talk to you about it later."

---------------------------------

It had hardly been a minute ago that George had kissed Hermione when he pulled himself off of her and sat back up on the bed, listening. "Clearly something happened between Harry and Ginny, and from what I can tell by all the yelling, Ron has just discovered them," George said as he gave a slight laugh.

"What are you talking about, George?" Hermione asked.

"I heard Ron yelling at Ginny and Harry. Me and Fred were listening in on the two of them earlier this morning, but they were just using sweet talk to talk about orange juice."

"What?"

"Don't worry about it, we just made fun of them from the other side of the door when Ginny walked out and discovered us. I'm just guessing that Ron found them talking about something other than orange juice."

"I still don't understand."

"You will probably find out later, but listen, I need to talk to you."

"I need to talk to you as well. Would it be alright if I went first?" George nodded in agreement and she began. "I–"

However she got cut off by a sudden knock on the door. The door opened and Ron stuck his head through and peered around as he asked, "Hermione, can I talk to you?" His eyes then fell on George. "You son of a bitch, get the fuck out of here!"

"Listen, it's not what you think, Ron," George said in effort to calm his brother.

"It doesn't matter what I think, I told you to stay away from her, and now I find you here with her all alone! Just get out; I need to talk to her!"

George wasn't going to argue, he just stood up, walked out, and closed the door behind him as Ron walked in and sat down by Hermione. "I'm sorry," were the first words muttered from Ron. "I shouldn't have yelled at you, and I'm sorry I did. Will you forgive me?"

She thought about this for a second, she really liked that he was being the bigger man here, but she wanted him to fight for his forgiveness. "Ron, it's not that easy. I ran out of the kitchen crying, and you didn't decide then that you were sorry! I came in here wanting someone's shoulder to cry on, and no one was here! Fred and George came in, and even though I told them to go away, George stayed. He knew he was part of this situation and came to comfort me. I know I flirted with him, something I regret, but I still don't think I deserved what I got from you! Now tell me why I should forgive you!" It was evident that she was once again fighting back tears.

"Because, well, we've only hit a bump in the road, and we need to work things out between us."

"Is that what you think this is, a bump in the road? I know I am not guiltless here, but you crossed the line and tore me apart! I think this a little bit more serious then just a bump in the road! When you have a real reason to ask for my forgiveness then just a simple apology for yelling at me, then we can talk things over."

"So what do we do in the meantime, break up?"

"If that's what you want..."

"Fine!" Ron stood up and stormed out of the room, headed down the stairs and told George, "Well...whatever you did, it worked, we're over, and you can have her back now!"

To be continued...

It's short, I know. I'm sorry, I just got tired and wanted to update tonight.

Reviews are chill.:)
