Moonlight Shinning

"Oi! Gin? Are you over. . . . BLOODLY HELL!!!!!!!!" Ron screamed, rounding the corner of the sofa, closely followed by Hermione. She immediately clapped her hands over her mouth and let out a muffled squeal.

"Harry," He began slowly, advancing on the two, "Get the Hell off my sister or I will. . . ." Harry didn't need to be told twice. He jumped up, straightened his robes and ran a hand through is hair. Ginny tried to stand. As she did she noticed her silk nightgown had worked its way up just above her thighs. She quickly untwisted it and shoved it back down, but not before Ron noticed and glared at her. She stood up beside Harry and tried to straighten her hair.

"What do you think you're doing?!" He screamed. Hermione placed a comforting hand on his shoulder, but he shrugged it off roughly. "Hermione." He warned. She backed off. "What in Hell do you think YOU ARE DOING!!!!!" He asked again, becoming more and more furious.

"Er. . ." Harry fumbled for words.

"I'll tell you exactly what!! You're taking advantage of my little sister because you know she has a crush on you!" He yelled, getting right up in Harry's face. This wasn't difficult for Ron since he was several inches taller.

"Ron! Back off! I love Harry and he said he loves me!" Ginny yelled, glancing quickly in Harry's direction. His loving eyes met hers and she continued. "It's not your business!" She approached the two.

"Ginny, it is my business when my sister and my best friend, EX best friend, go around, go around, Urgh!" He shuttered.

"Ron it was nothing like that!" Harry protested.

"The Hell is wasn't!" He yelled.

"Please Ron," Ginny began.

"Ginny, do you have any idea what boys out age have on our minds?!" He yelled, taking her by the shoulders. Hermione giggled behind him, but he ignored her.

"Ron!" She sighed exasperatedly. Ron shuttered again and turned to Harry.

"Harry, if you ever come near my sister again I will personally re-arrange your face and turn you over to you-know-who!" He threatened, smiling mockingly. "Clear?"

"Ron," Harry began, "It really isn't any of your business." He said calmly. "Ginny does not need your protection, especially from me." He reasoned. "I mean, she's going to have to date sometime, and you know I'm a nice person right?" Before Harry could finish Ron punched him in the face. He fell backwards and landed on the floor.

"Ron!" Hermione screamed, running forward and holding him back. Ginny scrambled to her knees and knelt by Harry's head.

"Ron! I can't believe you!" Hermione cried. "What do you think you're doing?"

"Hermione, this has nothing to do with you." He snapped.

"Ron." Hermione began sternly.

"Hermione, it's okay." Harry moaned, lifting himself to a sitting position with Ginny's help.

"Leave him alone Ginny." Ron ordered. Ginny glared at him, daggers in her eyes. She stayed where she was as Ron glared back.

"Stay away from my sister Harry!" Ron finished, bending down and grabbing Ginny's wrist. He forced her up. "Com on!" Her ordered, pulling her away. She took a fleeting glance over her shoulder at Harry and allowed Ron to pull her away and up the Griffindor girl's staircase. Hermione remained to speak to Harry. As she approached him he stood and sat on the couch. His eye was already turning black and blue.

"Sometimes I could just throttle him!" Hermione fumed.

"I know the feeling." Harry winced, assessing the damage.

"You should go see Mme Pomfrey." She advised.

"Yeah, maybe I should." He agreed, though made no move to leave. "You should sleep."

"Maybe." Hermione hesitated. "Harry?" She asked.

"I love her." He nodded.

"I'm glad. I love Ron too." She smiled. "Now I must sleep." She said, standing up. "It's going to take all my strength to deal with Ron tomorrow."

"Goodnight. I'll go see Mme Pomfrey."

"Alright. Goodnight." Hermione headed to the girls dorm and Harry left through the portrait hole.
