Hermione was quite nervous. Sure, she and Ron had been best friends for
years now, but things were different now. They just seemed to keep fighting
and fighting, and now Ron was being sent love letters. Okay, she could
admit it, she was jealous, but as Hermione was fuming at the thought of
having to sit next to Ron on this ride, Ginny tapped her on the shoulder.
"He's not being sent love letters" Ginny said quietly.
"What?!" Hermione said a bit louder then she wanted.
"He lied. He wanted you to get jealous. He and Harry have been scheming all summer, but they haven't gotten very far, in my opinion."
Hermione blinked.
"Jealous? Jealous! Ha! Why, I out to-"
"Hermione, Ron likes you a lot. I bet he loves you. He got really upset when you were with Victor Krum. Harry told me that he found a Krum model broken into pieces after the Yule Ball. And you got really jealous when Ron was admiring Fleur" she said calmly.
"Then why didn't he tell me?" Hermione said, exasperated.
"Oh, come one, Hermione. You know Ron doesn't like to be up-front-and- center with emotions. It's just not him. But he's had a crush on you ever since you guys first met."
"But he said-"
"He was in denial. I know. Oh, and you know that bunny costume? Well, I kinda made a deal with Ron not to tell you about this and help him win you over, but in return, he has to be my slave for the rest of the holidays."
Hermione widened her eyes at Ginny, and they grinned. Ginny had changed so much over the summer, it seemed. She had a new sort of attitude, like a spunky teenager girl in life just to have some fun. It suited her quite well.
"Still, you've gone back on your promise" Hermione said sternly but being playful.
"Yeah, I know. But this is just going to help even more. No point in having you two angry with each other. Where will that get us? 5 steps back, more like."
Hermione nodded.
"So, I'll sit with Ron, and you sit with Harry. Who knows? Maybe…"
They both giggled and Harry and Ron turned to see what was so funny. Ron looked green at this point, and Harry looked quite uncomfortable with everything around him. He thought having to fight a dragon was bad, or going up against a basilisk…going up against girls seemed to be even more difficult then all of those things combined.
Ron wished he could get some advice. He'd never loved anyone before Hermione, let alone have a crush on. How was he going to handle this? She was so special, so smart, so clever…Ron was just, well, Ron.
I have good qualities! Ron thought to himself. Like what? A voice said in his head. I'm…well…I'm a good friend…a good person…
With a bad temper… the voice said.
Ron sighed. He followed Harry's gaze. He had some sort of expression Ron had never seen before, and he was looking at Ginny…
Wait a second Ron thought in amusement. Harry fancies Ginny? No way! I mean, she's my sister! Well, they'd probably look cute together, but Harry likes Cho…or has that ended already? Well, I'd better not say anything. I might mess things up…
Like you usually do the voice finished.
They finally got out of the queue line and onto the ride. Harry and Ginny got in a red compartment, and Ron and Hermione got in a green compartment.
Ginny bit her lip. She was actually with Harry, but now what?
"So, uh…" Harry said, wondering what to say.
"It's a nice day, isn't it?" Ginny piped up, being a bit squeaky in the voice.
"Oh, yeah! See the clouds? Hey, I think I see a broomstick…"
Ginny and Harry started watching clouds and pointing out shapes, but their conversation was ended quickly since the Ferris wheel began to move. They were screaming their heads off.
When the ride had first started to move, Ron was a bit scared. Slowly, it kept gaining speed.
"Don't worry, Ron, this will be fun!" Hermione said.
"Hmm" Ron said, his eyes wide open.
It kept going faster and faster, and suddenly Ron realized something had clung onto him for dear life…Hermione.
Ron suddenly forgot what was happening and grinned. Not bad…
They started screaming their heads off…the Ferris wheel had reached maximum speed, but that was really fast.
Harry, Ginny, Ron, and Hermione were all laughing, having the time of their lives. There had been so little to laugh about this summer…what with all the terrible things going on around them. They all needed a time out. This was the best thing for them.
Sorry that it's a bit short but the next chapter will get even better! Who knows, maybe 2 certain people will snog each other…hehe ;) No promises, though! It might be something you'd never expect…I'll decide in a bit. Anyhow, the next chapter is going to be quite funny…if you want the next part up asap, I want a whole bunch of feedback! I know there are people out there who are reading what I write but don't want to post! (Not that I haven't gotten a lot of feedback already, and many thank you's to those of you who encourage me to write () I'm picky, I know, it's just that last time when I usually get 10 replies I got 5. I'm picky with feedback. Anyhow, thank you again for reading my fic, and remember, the next chapter is gonna be GOOD!!!
