Harry Potter Fanfic-Chapt 2
" Oh Harry!D'you think she'd call?"
" Of course she'll call you dummy! She has to call to tell you whether she'll accept or will not accept!"
" Shhhh! Don't curse me with 'don't accepts'!"
" ok, ok!" 21 year old Harry replied. Ron was driving Harry crazy with his "has she called yet?" questions. Ron was pacing restlessly around the Weasley's fireplace. His red hair in a harassed position as Ron had run his hands fustratedly through his hair a thousand times and his hand was wringing in his pocket. Ron ran his hand through his hair harassedly through his hair again. Beads of sweat covered his forehead. Harry was slumped tired in a stuffed armchair. Ron had made sure Harry was awake the whole night to keep him company…Just in case she called in the night. Ron's pacing was absouloutely dizzying him to the core.
" Oh goodness Ron! For heaven's sake! Stop pacing about!You'll wreck the floor if you keep stomping about!" Mrs Weasley said as she came down the stairs with a feather duster, " you're 21 already and you still don't understand? Stop pacing about!" Mrs Weasley grabbed Ron's arm, Ron stopped abruptly.
" What's the matter with him Harry?" Mrs Weasley said, apparently amused at Ron.
" Oh nothing," Harry replied with a smile," Just a simple call will get him out of this."[ Ron gave him a warning glance]
" Well, he's been picking up all the phone calls we've had ever since and still he still seems the same as he is right now!"
" Ohhh….don't you worry…a Special call will do the trick."
Mrs Weasley looked confused for a second, then her face contorted into excitement as she soon understood what Harry meant by ' special call'. Her eyes grew wide with excitement.
" You..you..mean Ron has…a.. a!"
Harry made sure Ron was looking elsewhere before he nodded his head. Mrs Weasley squeeled with excitement which made Ron turn around and look at his Bright red faced mother with suspicion. Mrs Weasley looked at Ron and smiled.
" Don't worry about the floor Ron!Go ahead…the call will come soon!" Mrs Weasley replied cheerfully as she hummed to herself as she danced into the kitchen. Ron stared at his mother and turned to Harry,
" What got into her all of a sudden? First stop pacing, then pacing! Outrageous!Even knows I have a call coming…dunno wh-" Ron's eyes grew wide.He glared at Harry,
" Harry! You didn't-"
" Don't worry !" harry said as he shrugged his shoulders. It's best to tell Mrs Weasley before she harasses him more when he's waiting for his call. Harry thought to himself.
" oh hoho!What's up Ron?What are you so excited for?" Fred Weasley said jokingly as he came down the stairs.Following him was George.
" The last time I saw him this excited was when everybody was clambouring around him just to hear what happened during the fight!The poor soul! Never had enough attention!" George said teasingly.
" You two keep out of Ron's way! Hurry along and go to your joke shop before the early birds come! Go on!" Mrs Weasley said as she shooed them out of the living room. Harry looked to wards Ron, Ron was still pacing near the phone, uttering under his breath. Suddenly Ron jumped to Harry's side,
" Harry! Do you think she'll-"
Harry gave him a tired and irritated look.
" Don't worry! She'll call! With good news as well! Stop being such a worrywart!"
" But we're talking about competition here Harry!! It's Malfoy we're competing against."
" YOU are competing against!"
" And you know that stupid slimy worm.."
" Oh Shut up Ron!," Harry suddenly hissed, he pushed Ron into a chair beside him , grabbed some ice on the dining table and pressed the ice to Ron's forehead.
" YEOW! HARRY! What did you do that for !!!???"Ron sputtered under the melted ice water.
" You'd better get relaxed!! Hey this is for your own good!" Harry said. He grabbed Ron's hand and put it inside the ice bucket on the table, and sat back down again.
"Sheesh Harry…" Ron replied.
Harry sat down to enjoy a peaceful rest. Just as Harry sat down, the phone gave a loud ring! RINGGGGG!!! Harry jolted out of the chair. Ron grabbed and shook Harry so vigorously until his glasses came off.
"Could it be?…" Ron asked Harry excitedly. Harry put his hands on his hips and answered,
"Ron! The phone's ringing." Ron jolted out of his trance and with sweaty palms and a perpiration covering his forhead, Ron took a deep breath and grabbed the phone.
" Ronald Weasley speaking." Ron said excitedly.
" Hi, may I speak to Percy please?"
Ron recognised this voice, that voice had been calling Percy everyday and their conversations soooooo long. That voice was non other than Penelope Clearwater, Percy's girlfriend.
" One moment." Ron replied through gritted teeth. He shouted up the stairs.
" PERC! IT'S YOURS! "
Upstairs, Percy yelled back.
"TELL THEM I'M BUSY!!!!"
" IT'S PENELOPE!"
" I'M GETTING IT!"
" MAKE IT QUICK! I'VE GOT A CALL WAITING!"
Ron put down the phone when he heard Percy on the other end of the line. He then flopped onto the chair. Soon after hours Ron said with a sigh,
" Harry?"
" Yeah?"
"I don't think she's gonna call."
" Nah! She'll call."
" Harry…I…I…give up."
Harry immediately sat up straight. He looked astounded at the worn-out Ron.
" RON!Wake up! You can't give up now! She's gonna call any second now! She's-"
"HARRY! DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND? She's not gonna call. It's been sooo long and yet…I've answered all the calls we've received so far! She's not gonna call!!!!!!!!"
Harry looked panicking at his friend. He came over and gave Ron a good shake. Ron pushed Harry away.
" Harry, it's no use…I've…"
" come on Ron! You can't give up now. Look see it this way, she-"
RINGGGGGGG!!!!RINGGGGGGGGGGG!!!
Ron and Harry looked at each other.
" NO…I bet it's another of that stinkin' phone calls. Nope! I'm not picking it up…No harry…I'm not!"
" Oh come on Ron!" Harry said desperately, waving his hand to the phone.
" Ron! Just…just pick it up! You'll regret it if it was her! Think about it!" Harry said again to Ron. At that time the phone was fortunately, still ringing. Ron thought about it for a while and then looked helplessly at Harry.
"Ok Harry but I still think it's one of those stupid calls-"
Ron pick up the phone and had stopped short.
" H…h…hello?"
It was a girl and Ron stopped short. It is her! She called! Ron thought happily. He gave Harry a thumbs up sign. Ron was so excited he nearly dropped the phone, he wiped his sweat on his sleeve and pressed the earpiece to his ear. He replied,
" Hermione?"
There was a still silence.
" Y..yes."
" Hermione…I …ummm…have…have you decided?" Ron said in a rush at the last part, his heart pounding at his chest.
There was yet a still silence. There on the other end of the line, there was a burst of violent sobbing! Ron was so shocked .
" Ron…[sob] I'm…[sob sob]…I'm…so sorry."
Time stopped short for Ron. Harry looked at his friend as the colour drained from his face, his knuckles turned white and his mouth opened . There was still sobbing over the phone.
"H…h…her…hermione…Did you just say…"
" Ron…I'm..I'm..so..sorry." Hermione said between violent sobs and managed to whisper sorry.
Ron turned even paler, his hands were numb. He couldn't take it. Harry knew what the out come was from his friend's reaction. How could Hermione be so stupid!!How could she choose Malfoy!!!She's CRAZY! Harry thought incredulously. Ron froze and dropped the phone limply to the ground. Harry heard the violent sobbing over phone as it dropped on the hard floor.
" She said no." Ron whispered and dropped to the ground and sobbed into his arms.
" Oh Harry!D'you think she'd call?"
" Of course she'll call you dummy! She has to call to tell you whether she'll accept or will not accept!"
" Shhhh! Don't curse me with 'don't accepts'!"
