I ate the cookie on my way back to the common room. I had no clue what time it was. It was still light out, so it wasn't late.

I found out that it was 7:30 when I got to the common room. I had already finished my cookie, but I was still hungry, and I had missed lunch and dinner.

I saw Hermione sitting on the couch, reading and watching Harry losing a game of wizarding chess against Ron.

Hermione looked up and saw me entering the Common Room, and said, "Hi."

"Hi." I said weakly, forcing a smile.

Harry then looked up from the game to me and said, "Hi."

Ron just continued to look at the game he was playing, not even realizing that I was in the room. Hermione kicked his foot. "Owww!" He said in pain, but still not looking up.

"Ronald, say hi!" She loudly whispered to him.

"Hi." He said, still not looking up from his game. I was still walking towards the stairs to the dormitories. I didn't respond. Clearly he didn't care enough to even say hi to me without being encouraged to by Hermione.

I walked more quickly towards the stairs, not looking back.

I quickly went up the stairs but stopped at the top. I put my back up against the wall, and slowly slid down it, so that I was sitting on the floor. I could still hear them talking.

"Who was that?" I heard Ron ask.

"That was your sister, you thick-headed prat!" Hermione said, furious.

"No, that wasn't Ginny. That couldn't of been Ginny. That girl looked like she was a minger, with that disgusting dirty brown hair and bloodshot eyes. And she looked sickly thin, probably anorexic or something. She was so ugly I couldn't even look at her." Ron said, with a laugh. "So, seriously, who was that?"

My heart stopped. I can't even describe words for what I felt. Timed seemed to slow down, it was almost as if I was under the Cruciatus Curse again, but instead of physical pain, I was suffering with emotional and mental pain.

"Ronald!" Hermione and Harry screamed at him at the same time.

I got up quickly and ran to my year's dorm room and slammed the door closed. I didn't care who heard me. I was so angry and mad and hurt that it honestly didn't matter.


Hermione's POV-

I watched as Harry and Ron playing a game of wizarding chess. Ron was winning, per usual. I saw, out of the corner of my eye, Ginny entering the common room. She looked awfully pale and thin, her eyes were bloodshot, and her hair was so dull, it looked brown. I barely recognized her.

Ron had looked up at her too, for a moment, but he didn't say anything, and looked back down at his game.

"Hi." I said with a smile, hoping that maybe she would stay down here with me, I was getting lonely.

"Hi." She said, weakly, with a forced small smile.

"Hi." Harry said, looking up at her.

Ron was still staring at the game, not even caring his sister, or anyone else, was in the room. Why can't he just take a second to look up and say hi to his sister. I could tell that Ginny was hurt by this, so I kicked him. "Owww!" He called in pain, still not looking up from the game. "Ronald, say hi!" I whispered angrily.

"Hi." He said, still not looking up. Ginny didn't respond or turn around. She just ran upstairs. I could tell that she was hurt by what Ron had done, along with everything else.

"Who was that?" Ron asked when Ginny was gone.

"That was your sister, you thick-headed prat!" I said, angrily.

"No, that wasn't Ginny. That couldn't of been Ginny. That girl looked like she was a minger, with that disgusting dirty brown hair and bloodshot eyes. And she looked sickly thin, probably anorexic or something. She was so ugly I couldn't even look at her." Ron said, with a laugh. "So, seriously, who was that?

"Ronald!" Harry and I scolded him, at the same time. Harry seemed just as angry as I was about it.

A door slammed shut upstairs.

"I didn't believe that you could be this thick, Ronald! And Ginny heard you! You git!" I yelled at him. I was furious. How could he do that to Ginny, his own sister? Especially at a time like this. I then got up and stormed upstairs, hoping that I could possibly undo the damage that Ronald had done to Ginny.
