You and Me
Chapter 8:Revenge and Christmas Break
Hey guys I'm sorry it has taken this long for me to update.. I started a new job and I went on vacation..so with out further adu I give you the next installment.
Keep sending me your thoughts I take them in great consideration!
In the next coming days following Rita's article Harry and his friends are thinking of ways to get revenge.
"Well you could always go straight to one's in charge of the Daily Prophet and tell them you are sueing if they don't fire her"
"They won't fire her and you know it"
Harry looks at Ron "if they don't they better put her in her place and make her keep her mouth shut". Everyone just looked at Harry in shock. "What I'm being serious here. She has butted into my life too much as it is and I want her to stop."
Cedric hugs him "calm down love we believe you. I'm sure Sirius will be able to help and the all of us will help you too".
Fred and George look at each other "well you can't do anything without us". For the next couple of hours they all sit there and think of different ways to ensure that Rita either changes her ways or she never writes again.
The next day is time to leave for Christmas break and Harry finally is excited because he gets to spend it with Sirius and everyone he loves. Harry is upstairs in the boys dorm finishing packing and humming. Neville walks in "why are you so happy Harry?"
Harry turns "huh? Oh I just get to spend the holidays with family and my friends and not Hogwarts for once. Not that I don't love it here or anything".
Neville just laughs at Harry "I know what you mean Harry. I am spending the holidays with Luna this year instead of just my grams which makes it sound like I don't like too. But to honest my gran does scare me sometimes you know".
Harry laughs too and puts his hand on Neville's shoulder "this is the beginning of a new life for us you know. It won't be perfect but hey at least it will be better than before." Neville agrees will Harry and the two of them finish packing and head out to the carriages that will take them to boats that will then lead them to the train.
Ron is outside in the common waiting for them "come on you guys we don't want to be late".
Harry just shakes his head "we are coming. We just had to grab a few things". The three of them make it to the carriages and Hermione is there waiting "lets go boys we haven't got all day."
They just look at each other "some things will never change" they all laugh and get into the carriage. The rest of the journey goes without incident but not without excitement. The train reaches platfor couple of hours later and all the students are getting their things and meeting their families outside. The gang are going their separate ways for the beginning of the Christmas holidays then they will all get together for Christmas and give presents even though they all said there wouldn't be any.
Harry stepped out of the train and saw Sirius and smiled big and ran and hugged him "Sirius!"
Sirius laughed and hugged Harry back "hello Harry it's good to see you"
Harry saw the Mrs. Weasley and hugged her "hi Mrs. Weasley"
"Hello Harry its good to see you not looking to thin" Harry just smiled "thanks". Everyone promised to write to each other until they all got together. Harry had to say his goodbyes at Hogwarts since he had to go back to Durmstrung.
*with the Weasley's*
The Weasley's had all just arrived home when Molly noticed that something was not right with her son Ron "Ron dear is everything okay?"
Ron took a deep breath and looked at his mom "there is something I need to talk to you about"
Molly had a worried look on her face "come sit in the kitchen and I will make us some tea". Ron and Molly went into the kitchen and Ron sat down while Molly started to make their tea.
A few minutes later their tea was finished brewing and Molly poured them two cups and handed one to Ron "now dear tell me what's wrong"
"I've been having these strange feelings for a couple of months and I'm not sure what they mean"
"What kind of feelings are they dear?"
"I'm finding myself staring at someone and have butterflies in my stomach when I am around them."
"That just means that you have feelings for this person. There's nothing to feel ashamed or embarrassed about"
"But mom if that's true than I have a crush on a guy not a girl" Ron was afraid of his mom's response and thought she was going to scream and yell at him.
"Oh Ron dear there is nothing wrong with that either. Being gay isn't uncommon in the wizarding world. It wouldn't happen to be to Draco Malfoy would it?"
Ron was shocked "how did you know that?"
Molly just smiles "your family including Harry have been keeping me informed about you. They were worried and could tell you were hiding something. I don't care who it is as long as you're happy" Ron hugs her "thanks mom"
*With the Diggory family*
Mrs. Diggory was getting dinner ready "so Cedric how has school been going so far other than the tournament"
"Um it's been busy none of the professor's are giving any slack to the students. Which is fine with me but I mean other than that good"
"So what about this mystery boyfriend of your's how is he doing?"
Cedric blushes "Mom!"
"What it's just a simple question is all"
Amos steps in "dear he just got home let him get settled first"
"Thanks dad" Cedric is proud of his dad because he has come a long way since Cedric first came out to his parents. He is glad his dad is so accepting it will be easier to tell them who his boyfriends are.
"No problem son but I did hear that there were two of them. Is that true son?"
"Dad! You're just as bad as mom. But yes it's true I have two boyfriends"
Mary puts the dinner on the table "well who are they?"
End of Chapter 8

Do you agree with the way Molly accepted Ron coming out?
