Blue: Hello all, I have found a beta. And I would like to take time here to welcome me in starting the fic. Anything to say my friend?
I 'Heart':It's great to be here, YAY! And I'm going camping tomorrow, boo!
Blue: Anywho, I would like to let you guys know that when I ask for ideas I mean it! The questions aren't rhetorical! So…if the date chappie is crappie I blame you all.
Red: I don't think it's their fault…Blue: Yes you do. You're just one of the many voices in my head so you agree with me.
Red: Not true, I hear you argue with yourself all the time.
I 'Heart':Yeah! Go Red!
Blue: Stop teaming up on me! Here's the bloody story...
Harry looked into the mirror one last time. If there was ever a time to start looking nice it was now. He knew the whole school would be watching him, even more so then usual. Taking a deep breath he walked out of his dorm and down the stairs to a understanding-looking Hermione, whose arm was linked with a Ignorative Ron.
(I know Ignorative Isn't a word and I don't care. (blows rasbarry))
With another deep breath they walked out to the entrance hall where Harry was meeting up with Davis.
"Hey Davis," Harry greeted.
"Hello Harry, 'Mione, Ron."
After several moments awkward silence, due to the fact that they all knew of Ron's attitude towards the situation, Hermione spoke.
"Shall we then?"
"Let's"
Down in Hogsmeade things didn't improve. Along with the tense atmosphere the stares were worse then ever. They eventually decided on The Hogs Head instead of The Three Broomsticks, less of a crowd.
"So…" Hermione said trying to start a conversation. "How have you been Davis? I haven't talked to you in forever."
Davis grinned slyly before answering. "Oh, not bad, been doing homework mostly. Bugger Snape and McGonagall both, eh?"
"Can't argue there." Said Harry with a chuckle. "Just the other day Ron and I were talking about how we can't wait to get out of school so we can relax." Ron didn't remove the scowl he had been wearing since they'd gotten here.
"That's not funny Harry! The real world-"
"Blah, blah, blah, hard work, blah, blah, blah, we know 'Mione. 'This is just practice." Davis interrupted.
"Don't finish her sentences for her Jones." Ron said in a deathly cool tone.
"Hey Mate, what's with the surname all of the sudden?" Davis asked.
"Don't start with me Jones!"
"Ron, calm down-"
"Don't tell me to calm down Harry! He's the reason we're here instead of The Three Broomsticks! He's the reason-"
"What the hell is your real problem Ron? You didn't have a problem with Jones before, why do you have one now? Tell me the truth Ron!"
"I don't owe you an explanation Harry," His eyes darted between Harry and Davis. "I don't owe either of you."
"God damn it Ron! What did I do? Answer me! I don't give a damn if you think you owe it to me or not!"
"I'm sorry." Said a quiet voice; everyone turned and looked at Davis. "This is my fault, I'll leave now."
"Sit your arse down Davis, this isn't your fault." Harry said. After a couple minutes of more awkward silence Ron spoke.
"Come on Hermione."
Harry and Hermione's eyes met and she understood to go with Ron, no point in furthering the conflict.
"Sorr-"
"Don't be Davis. It had to happen sooner or later. At least now we can enjoy our date, eh?" Harry said trying to lighten the mood.
"Well, you want to say 'Screw it' and just go to The Three Broomsticks?"
"Might as well, it's not like its any better here." Harry replied; referring to the stares they were now receiving.
Blue: Ta-Daa! My first beta'd fic. What do you all think? Lovely beta, would you like to do the ending review yada yada?
I 'Heart':Of course. If y'all can't think of anything to say just type in1234 so that I know I didn't cause my spell checker to break down from all the misspelled words for nothing. -
Blue: (Sniggle) You said Y'all...
Red: You do the same thing-
Blue: Shuddup, i know. (blows another Rasberry)
