Chapter Twenty-Six: Hormones
The next morning, Harry, Ron and Hermione made their way down to the Great Hall, only to hear sounds coming from around the corner. Hermione knew who it was at once and stepped out in front of the boys, holding up her hands.
'Guys, guys, why don't we avoid this area, you know, go around another way to the Great Hall?' Hermione asked nervously, throwing looks over her shoulder constantly. Harry and Ron raised their eyebrows at her and kept walking. She tried to make them stop, in the end, she had to grab both their arms and march them down the other end.
'Hermione! What the hell?' Ron yelled. Hermione only had one thought in her head, at least now they will know how close they came to Ron seeing them.
'We can't go down that way.' She said simply, hoping it would be a good enough reason; but she underestimated her friends.
'Why?' Ron asked, 'that seems like the most stupid thing ever. Look, I'm hungry, and that's the quickest way to the Great Hall.' Ron said. He pulled away from Hermione and started down the hall again. Hermione gasped and pulled Harry's arm, for he had started to walk away too.
'Harry! Ginny and Blaise are the ones making all those noises around the corner!' Hermione hissed at him. Harry's eyes went as wide as saucers and his mouth fell open.
'Shit!' Harry whispered. Hermione nodded furiously and they both took off after Ron.
'Ron!' Harry yelled as the boy rounded the corridor and stopped dead. From what Hermione and Harry could see Ron was just as red as his hair.
Hermione and Harry stopped right beside him, both completely out of breath. Harry looked up and was nearly transfixed by the sight of Ginny and Blaise going at it the way they were. Hermione, who was much more conservative of their privacy than the boys, averted her eyes and focused her attentions on first waking up Harry, who was quick to break out of his stupor, then Ron, who was much harder.
When he did break out of it though, he exploded.
'GINEVRA WEASLEY!!' He screamed. Hermione and Harry winced and blocked their ears. When they looked up though, they noticed that Ginny and Blaise couldn't hear Ron. Ginny, being the clever one she was, probably put a spell around them that didn't allow them to hear anyone, but they can hear them. That was the one flaw in the spell. Hermione noticed and started giggling. That was definitely the wrong thing to do.
'What the hell Hermione! How can you be laughing at a time like this! That bastard has his hands all over my sister!' Ron yelled. Hermione rolled her eyes, shot him a look and put her hands on her hips.
'Ronald Weasley, if Ginny didn't want Blaise all over her, then she wouldn't let him. She loves him, Ron. Get over your stupid big brother complex and let her live her own life!' Hermione ended in a scream and marched off down the hall, on a beeline for the Great Hall.
Harry even shot Ron a look.
'You really shouldn't have got a pregnant Hermione angry. She's bad enough at her time of the month, let alone now, when she's pregnant.' Harry said.
'He has his hands on my sister!' Ron yelled.
'Calm down, Ron! Hermione has a point you know, if Ginny didn't want Blaise touching her, she wouldn't let him. Come on, let's go down to the Great Hall, I'm starved and I need to talk to Hermione. I'll try and calm her down. Draco will probably do a better job, but I'll have a try.' Harry said, walking away and leaving Ron standing there fuming with Ginny and Blaise standing there behind him, still not noticing that anyone was in the hallway.
Soon after though, Ron left too, and headed for the Great Hall.
As for Hermione, once she entered the Great Hall from leaving Ron and Harry behind, she walked angrily over to the Slytherin Table and up behind Draco. He looked up at his beloved with curious eyes.
'What's wrong, love? You look angry.' He said compassionately. Hermione huffed and sat down on his lap, resting her head on his shoulder and wrapping her arms around his middle. Draco kissed the top of her head and wrapped his arms around her too.
'Alright, what happened?' He asked her. He noticed some of the Slytherins shooting Hermione glares, and he glared right back at them, who then cowered and went back to eating their breakfast.
'Ron saw Ginny and Blaise snogging in the hall, and when I noticed that Ginny had put a spell around the place that meant that she and Blaise couldn't hear anyone, but we could hear them. Then, when I laughed at how smart Ginny was, he rounded on me and started yelling at me about how Blaise had his hands on his sister, so I pointed out to him that Ginny wouldn't let Blaise touch her if she didn't want him to and that he should drop the big brother complex he has and stomped off.' She explained. Draco knew she was crying about it from the wet patches he could feel on his shirt.
'Shh, don't worry. Ron's just upset that Ginny would let someone touch her like that. You can't blame him; she is the youngest in the family, and the only girl, so he does have a right. But it wasn't right of him to yell at you like that. You were only sticking up for your friend. You obviously know a lot more about Ginny's love life than he does. But you have to remember that Ginny is his sister, and he won't take kindly to other boys, or men, when she's older, touching her.' Draco explained. He felt Hermione nod into his shirt and he hugged her tighter to his body and kissed the top of her head again, sighing.
'He just cares about her, as do you, I don't doubt that, but he is her brother. He considers it his job to protect his only sister, probably the same as the rest of his brothers. They want to see their sister happy, yes, but they won't like to see her with men, the way that Ron saw Ginny and Blaise. Okay?' He said. Hermione nodded again and hugged him tighter.
'Are you okay, now?' Draco asked tenderly. Hermione looked up and nodded, and Draco wiped the tears from her eyes and cheeks with the pad of his thumb, before Hermione got up from his lap and smiled at him. Draco smiled back and brought her face down for a quick, sweet kiss, before Hermione smiled again and walked over to the Gryffindor table to grab breakfast.
By this time, Harry had reached the table and was helping himself to his own breakfast when Hermione walked up. She sat down opposite him and started to pick at her food. Harry took a moment before looking up at her and caught her eyes.
'Are you alright Hermione?' He asked her. She smiled at him weakly and looked back down at her food again.
'I'm okay, Ron just annoys me the way he turns his anger on one of us when he's angry with someone else.' Hermione complained. Harry chuckled.
'You know, we could always just get Pansy and him in the same room, lock it and he'd come out happier.' He joked. Hermione smiled up at him and laughed lightly.
'We could, but then he would see Ginny and Blaise again and go back to being his usual angry self.' Hermione retorted.
'You are so negative.' Harry said. Then he looked up as the doors to the Great Hall opened again and Ron walked in. He swallowed hard and faced back to Hermione.
'Don't look now, but the King of anger himself is coming this way.' Harry said. Hermione groaned, but just kept picking at her food. She felt Ron sit down beside her, but she didn't say a word. Ron sighed and looked at her.
'Look, Hermione, I'm sorry I snapped and yelled at you back there. I was just angry at seeing Ginny and Blaise like that, right in front of me. Forgive me?' He asked hopefully. Hermione sighed and smiled up at him.
'I can't stay angry at you, Ron. Yes, I forgive you.' Hermione said. Ron smiled really brightly and they hugged, before breaking off and eating breakfast.
About ten minutes later, Ginny and Blaise walked in, red in the face and a little scruffy. Hermione saw them and started giggling. Harry looked up and choked on his pumpkin juice and Ron looked up and turned a brilliant red. He saw them kiss gently, before Ginny turned to the Gryffindor table smiling and Blaise turned to the Slytherin table smiling. When Ginny saw Ron though, all happiness melted out of her. She looked wearily at them and walked over slightly embarrassedly. Ginny sat down next to Harry as she looked from her brothers' red, angry face, which was looking down at this plate while attacking his food angrily, to Hermione, who was looking down at her plate and giggling silently. Ginny shot her a look.
'What's wrong with you?' Ginny asked.
'Don't worry; I'll talk to you about it later.' Hermione said. Ginny just rolled her eyes and continued to eat. They sat in awkward silence for the rest of the meal. Ron was still fuming, but he didn't want to make a scene in front of the whole school.
Blaise and Draco watched the tense silence over at the Gryffindor table; Draco with amusement, and Blaise with fear.
'Oh shit. I am going to get killed. I can just tell that he saw us in the corridor when he walked down here.' Blaise was twisting his hands in fear and was looking around worriedly. Draco watched the boy with amusement, seeing just how much he worried about Ron meeting him in the corridor.
'Don't worry about it, mate. Ron will come around eventually. You guys are friends, and if he wants to hang around Pansy, he needs to hang around you too, and Pansy won't let him hurt you.' Draco assured. Blaise still looked worried though. Draco smiled and shook his head.
'Come on, let's get to class. Potions first.' He said, getting up out of his chair and pulled Blaise with him. They walked over to the Gryffindors with Draco in the lead and Blaise walked along awkwardly behind him.
When they reached them, Draco touched Hermione on the shoulder and kissed her cheek.
'Ready for class, love?' He asked. Hermione grinned up at him and nodded.
'Yeah, let's-' Hermione started to say, and then she saw Blaise standing behind him and got up in a hurry. She leaned in closer to Draco and whispered in his ear harshly.
'Ron is about ten seconds off killing Blaise in front of the whole school. Why did you bring him over here?' Draco looked at her apologetically and held her waist. Hermione still didn't look all that impressed though. Draco sighed.
'I didn't exactly tell him to follow me, he could have waited somewhere safer, like outside, but he didn't, that's not my fault.' Draco whispered back to her. Hermione shook her head and picked up her bag.
'I'll see you guys later. I'm going to head off to class now.' She told the others. She took Draco's hand, walking away. On the way, she grabbed Blaise's arm and pulled him towards the door along with Draco.
'Why did you follow, Blaise? You know that Ron is going to blow up on you and it's only a matter of time until he does. You're just lucky that he didn't see you and was concentrating on killing his already dead food.' She said, pulling them along. Draco and Blaise flinched.
'We really shouldn't get her angry when she's pregnant.' Blaise muttered to Draco, who nodded.
'I heard that Blaise, and Draco, if you say one word about it, I'm not coming anywhere near you for a week; baby, or not.' Hermione added. Draco pulled Hermione's hand and she fell flush against him. He snaked his arms around her waist and kissed her neck tenderly.
'You can't stay away for that long. You'd die.' He whispered huskily in her ear. Hermione felt her breath catch, but she knew that she couldn't show Draco that he was getting to her. She rolled her eyes and pulled his arms away from her.
'You aren't getting through to me Draco Malfoy. And yes, I can stay away from you for a week.' She said, and kept walking. She had let go of Blaise when Draco had pulled her to him, so she kept walking without her hold on either of them.
Draco smirked and walked up behind her. He put his arm around her and rested it on her hip. Hermione rolled her eyes at him again, and took his hand in hers.
'Fine, I can't live without you for more than a couple of moments. Happy now?' She asked. Draco smirked and kissed her passionately.
'Yes. I can't live without you either.' He said. Hermione smiled and they both walked off to Potions, with Blaise walking behind them, shaking his head.
-
At the end of the day, Ron, Harry, Hermione, Draco, Pansy and Sierra all walked down the hallway towards dinner, after just having dropped their stuff off at their rooms. They all laughed and talked in their own conversations when Hermione and Draco stopped dead. They turned pale and their eyes went wide.
The others noticed and looked back at them. They looked like statues to everyone else. That was when Sierra heard it too. She also stopped and turned pale with wide eyes. Harry looked at them all confused, but then he also heard it.
Luckily, Ron and Pansy were too hooked up in talking to each other to notice what the noise was coming around the corner.
'Oh no, not another repeat of this morning.' Hermione muttered. This outburst broke Draco out of his stupor and he turned to Hermione.
'We have to get Ron out of here.' He muttered. Hermione nodded and they dragged Sierra and Harry back to the universe of the living and told them of their half-formed plan. They nodded and turned back to Ron and Pansy, who, thankfully, had stopped walking to talk.
'Hey, guys, I want to check something around the other way to the Great Hall. The others are coming, you should too.' Draco called. He hoped beyond all belief that Ginny and Blaise could hear and were running off to the Great Hall.
As Ron and Draco talked about what Draco had to look at, Hermione passed beside them and looked around the corner, spying Ginny and Blaise still in the embrace. She shook her head and realised that she should have told Ginny that her spell was crap.
Meanwhile, Draco was doing a very bad job at convincing Ron and Pansy to follow them.
'What do you have to go back for? I mean, you always have everything with you. You never forget anything. Hermione has had a bad influence on you.' Ron said. Draco snatched a quick look at Hermione and saw her roll her eyes around the corner. He knew instantly that the other two hadn't heard them. He started to think quickly.
'Well, on a wall somewhere, I saw something that looked a little suspicious. Come and have a look if you don't believe me.' He said. He knew from experience that the golden trio was very curious, sometimes too curious for their own good.
Ron gave Draco an odd look and started to back slightly down the hall. Most people thought that Ron was stupid, point is, he was just plain lazy. He knew that they were trying to keep him from seeing something, and he would find out what. Somehow, he had the idea that it had something to do with Ginny and Blaise. He really needed to know.
Draco saw at once that Ron was heading back towards the corridor where Ginny and Blaise were snogging. Ron was just about to bump into Hermione when she ran out of the way.
'Ron, no-' Draco called, but Ron turned around and looked down the corridor. You could see from behind that his face had gone red, as well as the back of his neck and his ears. Hermione started to back away from him slowly, as she could feel that he was about to blow. So could the others and they started to back away too. Pansy walked up quietly behind Ron and took his arm, but he shook himself out of her grasp and walked forward. Draco, Hermione, Pansy, Harry and Sierra all watched in horror as Ron went up and tapped Blaise on the shoulder. Hermione silently took down the spell that Ginny had cast, allowing noise to reach their ears. In the process, she cast a silencing spell around them so that they couldn't hear Ron yelling. And that is exactly what he did.
'BLAISE ZABINI, HOW DARE YOU TOUCH MY SISTER!!' He screamed. None of them could hear him, but judging by the look on Ginny, Blaise and Ron's face, it was bad. They all winced and Hermione buried her head in Draco's shoulder. Draco just had a sad look on his face and took her into his arms.
'He had to find out at some point. I just wish that it wasn't so bad.' He said. Hermione nodded her head into his shoulder.
Blaise stood there, absolutely speechless; but Ginny had turned red in anger at his outburst, and slapped him across the face so hard that his head swung around sharply.
The ones, who couldn't hear, winced as she struck him.
'That would have hurt.' Harry muttered under his breath. They all nodded in agreement.
'Ronald Weasley, you have no right to say what anyone is supposed to do with me! I'm old enough to decide that for myself thank you very much!' Ginny screamed back at him. Ron turned pale and swallowed deeply.
'I don't want any boy touching my little sister! Including my friends!' At this, Ron shot a particularly nasty glare at Blaise, who withered under his stare.
'I don't care what you think. I can make my own decisions!' She yelled.
'You're my younger sister! I'm always going to protect you no matter what!' Ron yelled back. He had now gained some colour on his face, except for the huge red mark that Ginny had given him.
'Well, thanks, but I don't need your protection! I get protection from all of my stupid brothers, but that only makes me want to do it more! Don't you see? I hate the way you all fawn over me and try to take control over my life just because I'm your only sister! My life is mine and you have no say in it!' She screamed. Ron went bright red after she finished and tried to speak a couple of times, but by then she had already stormed off.
Hermione looked after her as Draco took down the silencing charm. He walked over to Blaise and Harry walked over to Ron.
Blaise looked at Ron and smiled apologetically.
'I'm sorry Ron. I probably should have asked you if I could see your sister first. I really didn't think you'd be so protective of her. I can see why though. Every guy in Hogwarts is after her. I'm sorry mate.' Ron just shook his head and looked longingly after his sister.
'I shouldn't have gotten so angry. She won't talk to me ever again now.' He said sadly. Draco shook his head.
'She'll get over it mate. I know she will. She can't stay angry at her brother for too long. I know she can't. It wouldn't be in her nature. She might hold a grudge against you for a long time, and do things to spite you, but she'll forgive you and your actions eventually. You just need to show her that you don't mind that she has boyfriends or male friends as much as you used to. Show her that you can be happy with whoever she chooses.' Draco said. Ron nodded again and watched as Hermione, Pansy and Sierra walked up.
'I'm going to find Ginny and try to calm her down. So far, she has always calmed down I talk to her, but I've never seen her blow up so badly. We'll just see what happens.' Hermione said. They nodded, apart from Ron, who only stood still, with tears gleaming in his eyes.
Hermione gave Draco a small kiss on the cheek and walked off, leaving them all to comfort Ron.
Pansy put her arms around Ron and rested her head on his shoulder and he wrapped his arms around her too. Draco patted both Blaise and Ron on the back and Sierra put her arms around Harry, who returned the gesture.
'Don't worry mate, everything will blow over sooner or later.' Harry said, putting his hand on Ron's shoulder. Ron shook his head from its place on Pansy's shoulder.
'Yeah, way later.' He muttered sadly. Harry shook his own head at the boy and closed his eyes.
'I'm going to go back to the Room of Requirement. I think I might avoid the Common Room for the time being until the scene calms down somewhat. I'll see you guys later.' He said. They all nodded to him and he gave Sierra a questioning look and she nodded, so they walked off to the rarely known room.
'Don't worry about it mate. If you show Ginny that your friends and still talking to Blaise, then everything should be fine again. I hope.' Draco muttered to himself that last part. He didn't want Ron to hear it. He wanted to fill the boy with hope, not fill him with discourage.
Meanwhile, with Draco trying to make Ron feel better, Hermione was trying to calm Ginny down. She was in such a rage. Her anger was just about to make the windows shake.
'Ginny, he just wants to look out for you! I would be angry if I was in your position too, that's why I'm thanking God that I don't have any other siblings, but really, you can't blame him for being protective of his only sister! Let alone the fact that you're the youngest in the family. Your brothers will always try and protect you, whether you want them to or not. Just, try to get used to them, they aren't going to change, just because you don't like it. It's a big brother thing. Ron does the same to me. So does Harry. They do it to me all the time. I'm amazed they let Draco anywhere near me! You just have to live with it. I have! Try not to worry so much.' Hermione tried.
Ginny plonked herself on the bed grumpily.
'I hate it though! I can make up my own mind about who I want to date and who I wish to be with! I love Blaise! Ron just doesn't see that.' She complained.
'You didn't see his face after you left.' Hermione said softly. Ginny looked up at her with a quizzical look on her face. Hermione sighed and rubbed the bridge of her nose a bit before looking up sadly into Ginny's eyes.
'He looked heartbroken at what you said to him before you left. It looked like his heart had snapped in half, now he doesn't think that you'll ever talk to him again. And when I say never, I mean, not again, literally, in your life. He even thinks you'll disown him. That was his basic point. He likes to think he has some sway in your life, and he likes to think that his say on things in anyone's life is taken into account. He just wants you to know that he always wants you to stay his little sister, the one he's watched grow up, and the one he loves with all of his heart. I don't think he loves any of his siblings more than he does you. You have to realise that.' Hermione spoke softly, but determinedly.
Ginny's head drooped and she put it in her hands.
'He thinks I hate him. Really, truly, hate him, doesn't he?' She said. Hermione shook her head.
'No! Well, kind of. He still thinks you love him. Just, not as much as you did before.' Hermione said softly. She could see the tears starting to shine in Ginny's eyes and took the younger girl in her arms.
'Just show him that you still love him. I think that's the best thing that you could do. And when I left, Ron and Blaise were talking civilly. That's a start.' Hermione told her. By this time, Ginny was all out bawling on Hermione's shoulder. The older girl pulled a face over Ginny's shoulder, but soon changed it back.
'I don't - hick - want - hick - him to - hick- think that- hick - I hate him.' Ginny said, wiping the tears away from her eyes with the back of her hand. Hermione thought that she wouldn't have anymore tears left as they were all on her shoulder.
'Ginny, don't worry too much. I'm sure everything will turn out all right. Just talk to Ron, like a civilised person, and then things will be back to normal. You'll see.' Hermione said. Ginny pulled away and had shiny eyes because of the remaining tears in them. Hermione couldn't help but feel sorry for Ginny as she looked up at her like that.
Hermione sighed with a slight smile.
'Are you sure?' Ginny asked.
'Yes, I'm sure.' Hermione said, successfully cheering the younger girl up. Ginny smiled brightly and hugged Hermione tightly.
'Thanks Hermione, you're the best friend I could ever ask for.' She said. Hermione smiled warmly at her and Ginny looked at her in thought.
'You'll make a brilliant mother in a couple of months, I can tell.' She said. Hermione blushed lightly and looked down at her hands.
'I hope so. I wouldn't want to be a bad mother. That would be horrible. I wonder if Draco's going to be a good father.' She wondered aloud. Ginny giggled.
'I'm sure he will be. I can't see Draco being anything better.' She answered. Hermione smiled too.
'I know. I can't wait to be a mother, Gin. It just all seems so surreal.' She explained. She grinned at Hermione and patted her hand in a motherly way. Hermione chuckled.
'Everything will go along just fine. I promise.' She said. Hermione smiled back at the younger girl and sighed, before getting up off the couch.
'Well, we have to go and find a rather upset Ron and make him not upset.' Hermione said with a huge grin on her face as she pulled Ginny up and walked out the door, dragging the girl with her.
'Hermione, this is a stupid idea. Maybe we should wait until it calms down a bit, wait until tomorrow. That doesn't sound like a bad idea. I think I'll wait until tomorrow.' Ginny said, turning and trying to wrench her arm out of Hermione's grasp. This wasn't a good idea. Hermione was stubborn naturally, but in this case, she wanted all of this over and done with.
'Nope, we are putting a stop to this right now. If Ron isn't talked to today, he'll just go all depressed and even Pansy won't be able to break him out of it. So stop putting it off and get it over and done with.' Hermione said, still dragging the younger girl behind her.
Ginny just huffed the rest of the way. It was no good fighting with a pregnant Hermione. She would always win anyway.
They walked around for what seemed like hours before they found Ron sitting in a corner, with Blaise, Pansy and Draco sitting around him, trying to comfort the boy as he held his head in his hands.
When Ginny saw him, her heart broke. She hated seeing any of her brothers upset. But this was done by her own hand or mouth as it were.
She raced over to where her brother was sitting and wrapped her arms around him.
'Oh Ron. I'm so sorry I said all those mean things to you, but I really hate it when you blow up like that whenever I have a boyfriend. It's so stupid. You're friends with Blaise; you should trust him not to hurt me. Oh, Ron, I would never hate you, ever. You're my brother; my love for you is unconditional.' She told him. By this time, Ron had his arms around his sister too and had his face buried in her shoulder.
'I just don't like to think of any boy touching you. I trust him but my brotherly instincts for protecting my only sister keep getting in the way.' He said to her, pulling back and giving her a small smile.
Draco, Pansy and Blaise had backed away when Ginny had come to her brother, and were now standing a safe distance away.
Draco had his arms and Hermione from behind and his chin resting on her shoulder, while Blaise stood with his arms crossed leaning against the wall and Pansy was watching them both with fascination, but also had her arms crossed.
They watched for a bit of time while Ginny and Ron talked quietly to each other before Ron looked up and smiled at Blaise and beckoned him over. Blaise went over cautiously, and sat down beside Ginny. Ron gave him a thorough look.
'I give you permission to date and/or go out with my sister. But if you hurt her, you better watch out, you here me?' He said in a dangerous voice. Blaise just smiled at him and held out his hand for Ron to shake; which he took.
'Thanks mate. I promise I won't hurt her. If she wants to break it off, then she can do it, but I won't ever do it. Never have, never will.' He said. Ron nodded at him and all three of them got up. They headed over to where Draco, Hermione and Pansy, who were smiling brilliantly at them.
'So can we tell Harry that it should be cool for him to come back to them Common Room now?' Draco asked. Hermione, Blaise, Pansy and Ron laughed, but Ginny looked a tad confused.
'Why would Harry not go into the Common Room?' She asked. Hermione rolled her eyes.
'Because the Weasley temper is legendary and he didn't want to hear what would happen if it was multiplied by two.' She explained. Ginny grinned and took Blaise' hand.
'So where did he disappear to if he's not in the Common Room?' She asked. This time Draco rolled his eyes.
'He took Sierra to the Room of Requirement. I think I'll let those two come out on their own.' He said. They all laughed and made their way to dinner, only to find that everyone had already up and left.
'Damn. Why don't we head down to the kitchens? They should still have some food that they need to get rid of.' Draco said. They all agreed and made their way down to the kitchens instead.
Hermione tickled the pear and watched as it laughed, vibrated and turned into the handle they needed to get in.
Once in there, they found Harry and Sierra snogging on the bench. Quite passionately actually. Sierra was sitting on it, with Harry standing in between her legs on the ground, with his hands on either side of her hips.
When they saw this, Hermione and Ginny covered their eyes with mock disgust, Ron pulled a face, Blaise grinned and Draco rolled his eyes.
'We came in here to eat, not watch you two snog the living daylights out of each other.' Draco said from the door.
The noise of Draco speaking caused them to jump so far that Sierra fell off the bench and landed on Harry, who wasn't planning for it to happen, so they both landed on the floor with a thud.
The sight of them both on the floor was enough to put them all in good moods. All five of them roared with laughter at their friends' red faces. Draco only smiled slightly and raised an eyebrow at them.
'You'd think you'd find some where better to do that than the kitchen, where people try to eat and keep the food in their stomachs instead of throwing it back up.' Draco added. The others just kept laughing.
Harry hoisted Sierra up and then got up himself.
'Sorry Harry.' She muttered. Harry smiled at her and pulled her to his side.
'Don't worry about it love. I don't mind.' He said. Sierra smiled at him and put her arms around his waist.
'Shut up would you Draco. I've walked in on you and Hermione more times than you've walked in on me and Sierra.' Harry said. Hermione grinned.
'But that was just you, not everyone else with you.' She said. Harry shot her a playful glare.
'We just had dinner, when we came back from the Ron/Ginny fight, we walked down to the Great Hall instead, realising just after telling you that we were going to the ROR that we hadn't had dinner yet. When we got down there, however, we found the Hall deserted, so we came here instead.' Harry explained. They nodded and Draco told him what happened to them.
'So no more fighting then?' Harry asked when Draco was done. Ron and Ginny grinned.
'No Harry, no more fighting.' Ginny said. Harry grinned back at her and hugged the younger girl before clapping Ron on the back.
'Good, now I can come back to the Common Room and not have to put up with yelling coming from both directions.' He said. Hermione shot Ginny a look.
'Told you.' She commented. Ginny just rolled her eyes. Harry gave both of them confused looks, but shook his head and forgot about it.
'So you guys are staying to have dinner?' He asked them. They nodded in response.
'Well, we might make ourselves scarce. See you guys tomorrow.' He said, taking Sierra's hand and walking towards the door.
'See you guys!' Sierra said to them. They waved and said their goodbyes as the couple left the room. Draco caught the door just in time and stuck his head out of it.
'Harry, I want my cousin back in her dorm by midnight, I'll be sending Pansy to check.' He said down the corridor. Harry threw his head back and laughed.
'You got it, Draco.' He yelled over his shoulder as they walked away. Draco shut the door behind him and they all sat down to have dinner.
After a huge dinner (the house-elves over did themselves with the cooking as they always do and gave them WAY too much to eat.) they walked back to their respective common rooms and laid down to rest in their nice comfortable beds to have a good nights sleep.
