Chapter 6:

Aftermath

After the chess tournament, the year continued on. Harry had to put up with accusations of opening the chamber of secrets, students were petrified, and the truth about Gilderoy Lockhart came out. Harry faced Voldemort again and saved Ginny, with the help of this story's hero, Ronald Weasly. That summer, with the money Ron won and the money Mr. Weasly won in a contest, the Weaslys took a much-deserved vacation to Egypt. With the extra money Ron won, they stayed in the finest hotels and saw the whole country with their eldest son, Bill. A chess tournament took place every year for Harry, Ron, and Hermione, which Ron won each year. Over first through seventh years, Ron finally realized his feelings about Hermione. Now that we know this, I will jump ahead to Ron, Harry, and Hermione's seventh year.

At Hogwarts, the sixth annual chess tournament had taken place that November day. Once again, Ron defeated every opponent with ease and earned enough money for his family to indulge in a very nice summer vacation. It was extremely chilly, as at lot of winter nights at Hogwarts are. He and his friends Harry and Hermione sat in the Gryffindor common room, discussing the day's events in front of the relaxing fire.

"Ron, do you know you have won that tournament every year since it started?" said Harry in amazement. "They should rename the tournament 'The Ronald Weasly Annual Hogwarts Chess Tournament'" Harry joked.

Hermione smiled at Ron. "I'm very proud of you," she said.

"Thanks," Ron replied. Winning the tournament was not a big deal to Ron anymore, but Hermione always seemed to act extremely proud.

"C'mon, Ron. You can act a little more excited than that. You've just won the tournament for the sixth year straight!" said Harry. He gave Ron a soft, playful punch in the arm. Harry grinned. "Hermione seems really excited…"

"Shut up, Harry!" Hermione replied, blushing slightly.

"Hermione, why exactly did you lose to me un purpose in second year?" Ron asked.

Now, Hermione blushed bright red. "Ron, I don't like to talk about that…"

"Oh come on Hermione, you confessed your love to Ron years ago," Harry replied with a laugh.

"Oh be quite Harry!" Hermione and Ron said simultaneously.

"Now back to the subject of why you lost to me," said Ron.

Hermione blushed red as a human can see. "I had a hard time confronting my feelings then,"said the Head Girl at Hogwarts.

Harry stood up. "Maybe I better leave," he said. Ron and Hermione weren't listening. "Goodnight!" he said loudly. They finally acknowledged him.

"Maybe I'd better go to bed too. It's pretty late," said Ron. Hermione let out a very noticeable sigh.

"Yeah, you're right. It is really late. I'd hate to have Filch catch us," she replied.

"Goodnight all," Ron said. Everyone murmured agreement and went off to bed.

"You're so unromantic, Ron," Hermione joked with a smile.

"Shut up Hermione. I'm tired," Ron groggily replied.

"Fine, then," replied Hermione with a hint of anger as Ron left for the boy's dormitory. 'Uh-oh, they're gonna have another fight,' Harry though. The 17-year-old wizard smiled though. 'They'll make up again. They have fought like this for seven years, and they have never had lasting anger.'

"Harry, do you that that fight we had could of hurt our friendship? I don't want to be thought of as a slimy git," asked Ron when the two boys reached their dorm.

"Definitely not. You'll have fights like this and end up friends again 'til the end of time," answered Harry with a smile.

"Yeah, you're probably right," said Ron.
