Short Summary: Feelings get out of control while diaries, journals, and heartbreaks get in the way of friendship.
Chapter 2- The Weasleys
Mr. Weasley picked Harry and Hermione up and drove them to the burrow. On the way there,
Harry and Hermione told each other about their summers and talked about what they would do at Ron's house, they told jokes and shared stories until they finally arrived at the burrow. Ron and Ginny were waving madly at the doorway. When Harry and Hermione walked in Mrs. Weasley hugged them and said how nice they looked and how glad she was they came. Ron and Ginny were jumping up and down, clearly excited. Ginny took Hermione to her room, which made Ron mad. He believed Ginny was always trying to steal his friends, like Harry for instance, with her "crush" on him, and now Hermione, but Ginny took hold of Hermione the minute she walked in the door. They went to Ginny's room and Ginny closed and locked her door. They sat on Ginny's bed. Hermione was a bit confused. "What's going on Ginny?" Hermione asked. "Well, have you noticed anything weird about Ron lately? How he's acting around you?" Ginny asked, grinning mischievously. "I didn't really see Ron yet, but why would he be acting weird?" Hermione asked. "Oh, no reason. If you haven't caught on then there must not be anything between you two." Ginny said, sounding disappointed. "What are you getting at? What are you trying to say?" Hermione asked, curious. "Nothing, nothing, just forget about it." Ginny said. "You better go meet Ron and Harry before Ron gets really mad and barges into my room, he does that you know." Ginny continued. "Well, okay, are you sure there's nothing I should, uh, know?" Hermione asked, puzzled. "Nothing, Nothing, goodbye now." Ginny said. Hermione left. Ginny lay down on her bed. "I'll just see what happens, destiny can't be wrong, I guess." Ginny thought to herself. "Now I sound just like mum, I better stop now." Ginny thought to herself and she fell asleep.
*Meanwhile, in the Weasley's backyard*
"Ginny kept talking about how strange you were acting." Hermione said as she fidgeted with a blade of grass. "Ginny's always trying to make a fool out of me or get me in trouble, the little pest never stops." Ron said madly. "Whatever she's up to better not involve me, or I'll-" Ron was cut off by a loud explosion noise. "Let me guess, Fred and George?" Harry said. "Let's see." Ron said as he got up and started walking towards the sound. Harry and Hermione followed. When they got to the front of The Weasley's house, they saw Fred and George experimenting with something on a small table, probably something no good. They walked closer. "What're you guys doing?" Ron asked after he tapped Fred on the shoulder. "We're making a new Zonko's product! They're called, **Breakfast Blowouts.**" Fred said and grinned mischievously. "I don't think I want to know." Ron said, backing up 6 inches just in case something else exploded. Hermione looked interested and she asked, "What do they do?" "Glad you asked that question Ms. Granger." George said in an imitation of a western accent. "You see, you serve this little tablets for breakfast or lunch. You eat a tablet and it fills you up right away." Fred said. "In other words, you loose your appetite looking at them." Ron said as he examined the rather disgusting looking brown tablets on the table. "When we're millionaires we're not giving you anything." George said to Ron. "How is that a Zonko's product?" Hermione asked, still curious. "Vell, Ms. Granger, I am very glad you asked zat question, you see, my associate Fred Veasley shall tell you zee answer to zat." George said, trying to sound French. George's fake accent reminded Ron of Viktor Krum, he flinched at the picture in his head of Hermione and him at the Yule Ball. Hermione looked so nice, and she was with Viktor, "Why couldn't it be me?" Ron thought to himself. "Ron? Ron! Hello? Your in dreamland matey!" George said, trying to sound like a pirate. Ron snapped the horrible picture out of his head and saw George in front of him. "Anyway, as I was saying before I was very rudely interrupted." Fred said and he tried to glare at George but laughed instead. "You put one in your mouth really fast, and you have to do it fast because if you wait too long…" Fred continued and he took a breakfast tablet and threw it about five feet away. In less then a minute, "BOOM!" There had been a huge exploding noise but no explosion where he threw the tablet. "And you can't even see it blow up." Fred said triumphantly. "Genius." George said. "So, Ms. Granger, you understand?" George asked. "Yeah, I think I know a little more then I wanted to." Hermione said sarcastically. They knew she was kidding, Fred and George grinned, they both said, "Good" in unison and went back to, "Experimenting." "Let's go inside." Ron said. Harry and Hermione nodded their heads in agreement. They walked inside and went to the kitchen. They were going for the small assortment of every flavor beans that Fred and George "Specially Made," but then they remembered who made it and they weren't really hungry anymore. Ginny came down chewing on a Butterbeer every flavor bean and saw her brother, Harry, and Hermione in the kitchen, she went to the kitchen and sat with them. "Hi Ginny." Harry said brightly. "Uh, h-hi Harry! Nice to s-see you." Ginny said, swallowing the jellybean. Ron rolled his eyes. "What do you want?" Ron said to Ginny, annoyance in his voice. "Why? I can't sit at the kitchen table with you anymore?" Ginny said, sounding a bit mad. She tried not to get mad in front of Harry, she would always to be nice to Harry, but Ron was always ruining things. Ginny voluntarily got up from the table and went up to her room, she closed her door, but she tried not to slam it. "No wonder Hermione doesn't see anything in him, why would anyone?" Ginny said, under her breath. "He doesn't deserve her, he doesn't deserve anyone, he could lock himself in his room sobbing from loneliness, and you know what I'd say? I'd say, **If only would have been nicer.**" Ginny whispered. She went to her mirror and looked at herself. She heard Ron say something in the hallway outside her room, then she heard Harry and Hermione say something. She then heard Ron raise his voice and then Hermione storming downstairs. "If only he would have been nicer." Ginny said and she sighed.
