WWiBL? Chapter 10

"Sshh!" hissed Lily. Hermione, Ginny, and Lily were sneaking up the steps. If they weren't quiet, Percy would hear them and blow their cover.

"Okay!" Ginny hissed back. She was giggling and she couldn't help it. She had never spied on any of her brother's before, much less three of them at once plus the guy she had a 'secret' crush on.

"We're at Percy's room now, be very quiet," whispered Hermione. She knew as well as Lily that they needed to be really quiet. Percy would hear them if they made the slightest noise and then Ron, George, Fred, and Harry would be sure to know the girls were coming.

"Phew, made it past!" whispered Lily triumphantly. The only had two more flights of steps to go before they were at Ron's room. They finally made it and, luckily for them, the door was slightly cracked. Lily, Ginny, and Hermione kneeled in front of the door and listened in.

"So, Ron. When will you and Lily be announcing the engagement?" they heard Fred say. Lily's face turned red but it wasn't with embarrassment, it was with anger.

"Fred, shut up. Just because I like her doesn't me she likes me or anything. Why would she like me?" said Ron. Hermione and Ginny nearly busted out laughing then and there. They threw looks of excitement at Lily and she glared back.

"Shut up!" she mouthed. They quit looking at her and stared through the crack in the door. Next they heard George and Harry get into a conversation.

"So, Harry, when will you be making your first appearance in Ginny's Fan Club?" asked George, jokingly. Harry turned around and threw a glance that meant, "Shut up if you know what's good for you," while Hermione and Lily took their turn to look at Ginny. She had turned bright red.

"Just joking Harry, just joking!" said George. He knew not to mess with Harry when it came to the subject that he was famous.

"Well then, let's go down and see what's for dinner," said Ron while turning towards the door.

"Let's go, they just said they're going downstairs!" hissed Hermione quietly. They ran down the stairs as fast as they could without making any noise. After they had left Percy's landing, they heard the door open and Percy started telling Fred and George not to be so loud and not to go so fast.

"But we weren't being loud or going fast! We just now got to your landing!" said Fred defensively.

The girls burst into Ginny's room and had a laughing fit so immense it ended in Ginny bursting into tears from laughing so hard and so much. "Well, Lily, do you like Ron?" asked Ginny once her fit had receded.

"Er, do you really want to know?" she asked. She wasn't sure if she wanted to let out a secret like that to people she had just met. "Well, they are my best friends," she thought.

"Yes!" Hermione and Ginny yelled at the same time. They sat there staring at her for about five minutes before she decided to tell them.

"Well, yeah. I guess I do. I mean, he's cute, funny, and nice," she said. Ginny and Hermione burst into giggles again but Hermione quit in a few seconds.

"Why don't you tell him?" she asked. Lily looked at her as if she were crazy.

"What do you mean, tell him? I'm going to wait till I know, er, I mean till the time is right!" she said. She had almost said till she knew him better but knew she shouldn't say that since he was her best friend.

"Well, now that we know the answer and we have a new romance going on, let's go downstairs to help Mum with dinner," said Ginny. She had finally gotten over the second laughing fit in ten minutes. Her face was extremely red and she had a slight line down her cheeks where she had been crying and laughing.

"Okay, but first you might want to rub off those tear lines on your face. You look as if you've been in a fight or something!" exclaimed Hermione. She helped Ginny find the lines and get rid of them while Lily thought, "Hey, this might not be so bad after all!"
