A/N: heyyyyyyyy I'm back! er, this chapter is kinda odd…. It's maybe a
little OOC but hang in there ne? thanxs to everyone who has put up with my
insanity so far and especially those who have reviewed. *wipes a tear* you
make me so happy!
"So when do you plan to start?"
"Start what?"
"Harry!"
"What?"
"Honestly! What do you mean start what?"
"Er…"
"The dare you git."
"Oh yeah…"
Ginny sighed. Were all men seriously like this? There was no hope for anyone. She had enough with her brother at home. She hadn't planned to take this game very seriously, but given the fact that Hermione had gone to sleep with a bump on her head the size of a golf ball, told her maybe this was about more than that silly game. She was going to play match maker for her best friend. She had a very good excuse.
"What's your first plan?" she asked Harry again
"Do I have to have one already?"
She glared at him.
"She'll be here in a minute, just getting dressed." Said Ron emerging from the girls dormitories. It was a good thing that all the other Gryffindor student's that were staying over for Christmas were all boys.
"Do you consider yourself jealous?"
Ginny turned to Harry. Where did that come from? Ron seemed as confused as her.
"What?"
"Do you?" Harry asked again
"Um… may I ask why you want to know?"
He grinned and just shrugged
Ginny caught on, 'oh no! Harry don't go there! You well know the answer to that question.' She turned to Harry and mouthed a very clear 'No!' he only grinned. Ginny dropped her face to her hands. This was going to get nasty.
"What's it to you?"
"Oh come now Ron. It's just a simple question. I would simply like to know how you would react if for example, you cared for a girl, right? then someone else would come and take her away from you , and even though she would still be your friend, you wouldn't have the same relationship. And you noticed you cared deeply for her all along and now that she's gone… would you go after her and tell her to leave this guy?"
Ginny was rubbing the bridge of her nose with one hand while the other still covered her face. Couldn't have he just spelled it out in fluorescent ink? Opening one eye she saw the face she was least expecting to find on her brother. His mouth was practically gaping and she had never seen his eyes quite so wide.
"Oh my God!!!!!! Harry!!! Why didn't you tell me you were dating Ginny?!?!"
'WHAT?!?!?' Ginny's red face fell through her hands and she barely caught herself before her face smacked against the table. Harry had literally fallen out of his chair. 'Where the hell did that come from?!'
"Are you mental?! I would never ask you and Ginny to stop seeing each other because of me! I am a bit jealous of her but come on Harry! It is after all her life and I have no right getting into that… er, aspect of her life. And she has liked you for quite some time now, I mean come on everybody knows that. Besides the fact that I trust her to you."
Ginny was on the verge of exploding. Half of embarrassment and half from frustration. Clutching what was first at hand, which happened to be a quill she snapped it in half, smacking her other hand against the table and getting up to make her way towards Ron.
"How can a person be so bloody thick?!?!?! And what's all this about you trusting me to him?!" she pointed at a barely recovering Harry clutching the table as if for dear life "Do you suddenly own me?!"
She growled several times, looking up at her brother as if not deciding whether to slap him, of just plain out punch him in the nose
"What?" he asked backing away from a very scary looking Ginny
"Arrrggghh! I am NOT going out with Harry you prat!! I don't know how the hell you got to that conclusion! It was a hypothetical question!"
Ron stayed silent for a while, looking form his very angry sister, to a blushing Harry readjusting his glasses. Then he said a simple "Oh…"
Ginny growled louder and finally smacked her brother on the back of the head.
"Ow!"
"Ow yourself!"
"Good morning to all." said Hermione stepping into the common room. She tilted her head a bit looking at the scene before her. Read all over the place. Ron's ears were bright red, he was busy rubbing the back of his head. Ginny's whole face was red, Hermione couldn't tell if it was from embarrassment or anger, but by the was she was scowling at her brother, she guessed Ginny felt more anger, than anything else. And Harry! If her eyes didn't deceive her, he was blushing. On very little occasions had she seen him do that.
"What did I miss?" she said to no one in particular.
Ginny sighed and finally stopped glaring at Ron, to which he seemed utterly relieved.
"Nothing much…" she said to Hermione "Nothing that you couldn't see anytime, just my idiot brother being more stupid than humanly possible"
"Hey I'm sorry! Geez! I didn't know you would get so offended! I thought you still liked Harry. Give the guy a break he's not that bad a prospect is he?" defended Ron
She could have slapped him. Harry was back on his chair, his face in his hands, shaking it slowly. It wasn't the fact that her being with Harry made her angry, or even slightly upset, but the fact that her retarded brother could be so thick to everything related to emotions. Especially his own for goodness sakes!
"He's not you git, and he never will be, for anyone. Come on Harry let's go get breakfast." She said making her way towards the portrait hole. Harry looked from Ron to Ginny and decided it was best if he didn't question her ways right now.
He got up and sprinted to catch up with her, passing the fat lady with a surprised look on her face. "Don't ask." He said to her running over to Ginny.
She kept walking in long pace's obviously still upset. He rarely saw this side of her. She would only get mad on few occasions that were well worth it, and he found it hard to stop looking at her when her eyes narrowed or her chin tightened. And even though he absolutely hated to admit it. He was glad Ron had asked if she really didn't like the idea of her and him together… and very relieved that she had said it wasn't because of him.
He realised that he was staring at her, only when she took her eyes of the carpet to look up at him, no longer fiery with spirit, but soft and sweet as they always were.
"What is it?" she asked
"Nothing…" he suddenly found the various portraits on the wall very interesting. Shaking off his troubled thoughts.
"I swear, if my brother could be any thicker… he'd be wider than the Atlantic ocean."
He snickered at her comment, knowing it was true. Ron may be very smart in school (although kind of lazy) and with a very keen sense of strategy and courage, but when it came to matters of the heart.... They entered the great hall where a few students were coming and going, all chattering of Harry knows what. One thing Harry liked about the Christmas holidays, was it's Malfoy-less-ness. Also the fact that everything seemed calmer. Only a few people here and there. It was a lot more private.
"So…" said Ginny once they were seated
"What do we do now?"
"I can't believe we're actually going to try and get through his thick skull to his tiny little brain and help him realise." She smiled
"Put the poor guy out of his misery…"
Ginny smiled.
"I have a plan…" Harry said smiling back
"You worked up a plan in ten minutes?"
"I'm a smart guy…"
"Aha… and would you let me in on this master mind plot of yours Mr. Potter?"
"Jealousy…"
"Oh Harry… I don't thi---"
"It's simple, all we have to do---"
"We?"
"aw come on Gin! You can't leave me alone in this I---"
"Ok calm down, I was only kidding."
He glared at her with a smile. "Fine… so we get Ron into thinking that some one is after Hermione, he'll get mad obviously, and do everything and anything to get him away from her, even… confess. but the thing is, he won't ever know who this person is…"
"and why is that?"
"Because it's going to be me…"
"Oh Harry… I still don't like this… what if he finds out? What if he ---- you have no idea how aggressive can be."
"I know Gin, relax, he won't ever know. Besides, it is my dare… and since you didn't give me details…"
"Very well, but I still think this is too r---"
"shhh incoming!"
Ginny looked up to the door, to find her brother with Hermione tagging along. He looked annoyed.
"Oh forget you! I'll just tell Ginny to tell me!"
Hermione came up to the table and sat beside Ginny. "What did he misunderstand? That was all he told me."
"Hermione, what doesn't my brother understand? He's a boy for God's sake."
"Hey! I resent that." Said Harry
"Sorry Harry, not you." Ginny smiled back at him. And again he found herself starring at her, even after she turned back to Hermione. 'Dammit!' this was getting annoying… why did he keep staring at Ginny? She was just… a girl. And Ron's kid sister to top it off…. Just a friend… a friend… he sighed and decided to finish his breakfast.
"Of course Ron would get jealous." said Hermione after a while
Ron, along with Harry turned to look at her.
"Oh come off it Ron! Of course you would! If you get jealous of Ginny, and of your friends how could you not with the girl you like?" she asked him
"I do not! When have I been jealous of you guys?"
Harry made a coughing noise that sounded an awful lot like *Krum*.
"Ron just answer the question… would you, or wouldn't you?" asked Ginny
he stayed silent for a while. "I would probably be angrier at myself, than at the guy in question. For not saying anything to this girl that is…"
Harry smiled. "Well I'm done… I forgot we have a lot of Transfig homework so I'll be off to the library. Ginny will you join me? I need some help with, er, stuff…" he said getting up.
"Sure…" she got up and both walked out of the Great hall…
Hermione looked back at them with a raised eyebrow. They were acting very strange. She looked back to Ron ho was still in deep thought.
"But then again who knows, maybe I would go and punch this bloke to the next century…" he finished
~~~~~*°*~~~~~
A/N: heyyyyyyyyyyy! Exams are over!!! ¬¬ and I'm gonna fail half of them. But I got a 9 in math! So I'm happy! :P hope this chapter had some meaning to it… :P and sorry for the delay! I ask you to forgive my grammar because I'm not British… or even American… I'm Mexican! *yay me!* (:P para las personas que querían saber. *wink*)
As always for Ever. -^^- XD
