Good evening (even thought, at the time I am writing this, it just happens to be morning. 9:12 am to be exact.)

Ok, I have a warning for LIGHTNING BUG, this chapter contains some shippy- ness between Hermione and Ron, but, it is nothing major, they just talk!

And you will also notice that in this chap, instead of saying Fred and George I have said George and Fred. This is because GEORGE RULES AND FRED DROOLS.

*******************

Ron awoke to the hot morning sunlight hitting his skin. Dancing colours from the stained glass window casting contrasting light and dark shadows across ths still sleeping teenagers.

Ron went to sit up, but there was something pinning him down. There was something pinning his body to the ground.

He was just about to freak out, and then, he realiesed. Hermione had thrown her arm across his body, hugging him to her.

Ron grinned to himself. So many adolesant fantacies being played out in his mind. There had been so many times he had dreamed of waking up beside Hermione like this.

So...all he had to do... Ron rolled over carefully, trying hard not to wake Hermione. She moved slightly, but then, she sleepily threw her arms around his neck, and rolled closer to him.

He nodded and silently congradulated himself.

Ron layed there for a few minutes, just watching her sleep, until he realised something else.

The patch of floor beside him was bare...Ginny was gone.

He sat up quickly, waking both Hermione and Harry in the process.

"What, Ron, what's wrong mate?" Harry asked, sitting up and rubbing his eyes. Harry searched around for his glasses and put them on, giving his eyes time to adjust.

"Ginny's gone" He replied. Hermione and Harry both sat up to and looked around.

"No, there she is" Hermione replied, pointing to where Draco and Ginny were still asleep in each others arms.

Hermione thought that would calm down Ron. Knowing that his little sister was safe and had not been stollen through the night by Voldermort. But she was wrong. From where she was sitting, she could feel the anger running through his veins.

"Ron, calm down" Hermione said, stroaking his arm softly, but he wasnt listening.

"Yeah, come on Ron, dont do any thing you will regret" Harry told him, but it was to late, Ron was already standing, moving his way over to the sleeping couple.

"Think we should stop him?" Hermione asked, ywaning.

"Yeah, maybe" Harry replied, standing and helping Hermione up.

"Get up Ginny" Ron said. Ginny's eyes snapped open and she looked around the room.

"What time is it?" Ginny asked, but no one answered her.

"What are you doing over here Ginny?" Ron asked

"I was sleeping..." Ginny told him.

"With him" Ron spat, Ginny rolled his eyes.

"Beside him, it is not what you think, and any way, I have a right to sleep beside my husband" Ginny told him. Ron winced at the word husband. Ginny noticed this and smiled.

"That annoys you doesn't it? Husband, Husband, Husband, Husband Husband, HUSBAND" Ginny smiled at her brothers discomfort.

"Stop it Gin, I am warning you" Ron began

"What, what will you do Ron? will you tell mum and dad? well, good luck, we have to get home first" Ginny reminded him.

"Yeah, and when we do get home, I will tell them" Ron told her.

"No you wont...I know you Ron, you make empty threats. But it doesn't matter, I am going to tell them first" Ginny replied.

"They wont let you get away with this" Ron replied.

"What is your problem? Cant you see that I am happy?" Ginny asked, Ron just glared at her.

"That's it isn't it? You cant stand that I am happy and you arn't" Ginny accused.

"That is bull and you know it" Ron exclaimed.

"You are jealous of me...I know when you are jealous Ron, and you are jealous of me now" Ginny replied.

"Why the hell would I be jealous of you" Ron yelled.

"Maybe Ron wanted to marry Malfoy" Harry whispered to Hermione, but he said it a little to loud. The fighting Weasleys both shot him an evil look. Harry smiled his appology and then hid behind Hermione.

"You are jealous because I am loved. I know you never felt loved Ron, but dont take it out on me" Ginny screamed, then she turned, and stormed out of the church.

Ron moved to follow her, but Hermione held him back.

"She wont go far Ron" Hermione told him.

"Screw this" Ron muttered and then turned to walk out the back door of the church.

*****

Ginny sat on the front stairs of the chuch trowing peices of the crubling stairs onto the ground in front of her.

She sighed, having brothers was both a blessing and a curse. Today was deffinately a day that it was a curse.

Ron had issues. Ginny knew that, Ginny knew that from early on in life. Ron seemed to be the one most in controll, but truthfully he wasn't.

He had anger managemant problems and a short fuse. Every one knew that, and no one was safe when he was angry.

But the truth was, Ginny loved him, he was her big brother and she would always love him. Ginny had suspected Ron would go off his rocker about the whole marrage thing, but Ginny thought he would take it out on Draco and not her.

Ginny was so lost in her thoughts that she didn't hear the heavy door of the church opening and closing, or the person walking down the stairs towards her.

"You ok?" Draco asked as he sat beside her, pulling her into a hug.

"Yes...no...I dont know?" She replied.

"I am sorry about all this, it is all my fault." Draco told him.

"No, this is not your fault, there is no way in the world this is your fault" Ginny told him.

"yes it is" Draco replied sadly.

"No it is not...this is Rons fault" Ginny replied, she stood and began to pace. "Ahhh, he infuriates me beyond belief some times"

"I know that you feel that way..." Draco began.

"He thinks that just because he is older than me he can boss me around all of the time...dont do this, dont do that, Stay away from there, dont marry him. Gees, he is not even that much older than me...19 months is not that long!" Ginny ranted as she paced. Draco decieded that it was best if he just let her get it all off her chest.

"And he thinks that just because he is best friends with Harry he is some thing special. I am friends with Harry to, but that doesn't mean any thing to him, he still gets to boss me around" Ginny added.

"But you love him cos he is your brother" Draco told her. She stopped pacing and then sat down beside him again.

"Of course I love him. I know he is just being over bearing because he is my brother and he loves me" Ginny smiled sadly. "But I am 16 years old, soon I will be 17, legal wizarding age, and he still thinks of me as a 6 year old who used to beg him to take me flying...he needs to see I ve grown up, I am not a Weasley any more, I am a Malfoy, and he is going to have to accept it" Ginny sighed

"But I think you should go a talk to him" Draco told her, stroaking Ginny's cheek softly. "Tell him how you feel"

"I will, but I am going to give him time to calm down first" Ginny smiled, and then Hugged Draco.

And together they sat, watching the towns folk set up their daily stalls in the cobblestoned square.

*****

Ron walked around the small back garden of the church, looking at all of the beautiful plants and flowers.

"Are you ok Ron?" Some one asked from behind him. Ron turned to see Hermione in the door way of the church.

"I am ... thinking" He replied, she smiled at him softly and ventured into the room.

They stood in silence, not even looking at each other for a few minutes while Ron gathered his thoughts.

"He is to old for her" Ron said suddenly, Hermione turned to him.

"Ron, she is 16, he is 17, it is not that bad" Hermione smiled.

"Then they are two young to get married" Ron replied.

"Ok, I agree with you on that one" Hermione told him. Ron nodded and ran his hand across a flower petal.

"They are making a big mistake" Ron muttered.

"You thinks so, And in some ways I thinks so, but they dont think so" Hermione reminded Ron.

"What would they know?" Ron snapped.

"They know themselves, and they know their hearts, they know each other" Hermione told him, Ron shook his head at her.

"That is not enough..." Ron began.

"And why is that not enough? Are you telling me, if you were given the opportunity, you would not marry the woman you love?" Hermione asked

Ron just stared at her. If she only knew...

"I guess, I dont know...but I would never be daft enough to fall for an enemy" Ron replied.

"The heart doesn't see the lines of good or bad, light or dark, the heart has no enemies" Hermione replied, Ron smiled at her. She was calming. it was some thing he had always known about Hermione, she had the ability to calm him down, just with a simple look.

"The heart should have better judgement" Ron muttered to himself.

"Ron...when you fall in love, you your mind shuts down, it is useless, there is really no point in having a brain when you are in love" Hermione explained.

"I know...I know what it is like to be in love" Ron gazed at her intensely, she smiled and then looked away.

"In love...but never loved?" Hermione questioned quietly

"What?" Ron asked

"Well, Ginny said....Ginny mentioned...when you and Gin were fighting she said..." Hermione began, but she could never quite get the words out right.

"She said that I never really felt loved" Ron filled in for her.

"Yeah...why did she say that?" Hermione asked

"Well, it is the way I ve always felt" Ron sighed.

"But why...it is not true" Hermione asked. She sat on one of the tables, but he continued to walk aimlessly around the room.

"When you have 6 siblings there will always be a competition for love. Bill was first born, so he was loved, Charlie was an overachiever, Percy is the smartest, George anf Fred get in trouble the most and Ginny is the youngest and the only girl...But I am just me, not much to be proud of" Ron told her, his eyes never meeting hers.

"You know that is not true" Hermione told him, he nodded.

"I know, but I am not smart enough to be a prefect, I am not good enough to be on the house quidditch team, I dont blow things up all the time..." Ron began.

"But think off all the good things you have done...you risked your life so Harry could get to the philosophers stone, you helped Harry close the chamber of secrets, you held your own against wormtail when you had a broken leg..."

"Crazy hero stuff...my mum loves me less every time I do some thing like that." Ron told her.

"Ron, your mother loves you" Hermione told him.

"Well, she hates it when I risk my life to save others...I think on some days she even wishes I never met Harry" Ron replied, He had almost spat the word Harry. Hermione looked at him, begging him to go on with every thing that was bothering him. She was more than willing to listen.

"Do you think it is odd...that my mother treats Harry like a son?" Ron asked.

"No, not really, Harry hasn't had a loving family." Hermione replied.

"But some times, it feels like he has replaced me in my own family. She sends him gifts, and she writes him letters, I only ever hear from her when I am in trouble, Harry just gets letters to see how he is. Mum sends him clothes and ... you think I am crazy and jealous dont you?" Ron asked, Hermione shook her head, and then nodded as well.

"It may feel that way to you, but that is not the way that it is. Your mum loves you, she is proud that you and Harry are fighting for the lives of others, she may be scared, and she may wish you didn't risk yourself, but she is proud. She loves you and your brothers and Gin all in different ways, but she loves you all equally." Hermione told him. Ron nodded.

"But then there is you..." Ron began, Hermione looked at him.

"Me?"

"For a smart girl, you must be pretty daft if you dont know what I am talking about" Ron told her, Hermione looked down at her feet. She knew what he was talking about.

"I know what you are saying." Hermione whispered. Ron picked a flower from one of the pots and then moved to Hermione, tucking the flower behin her ear.

"I have liked you ever since that first day on the train when you were looking for Neville's toad, abd I think I have loved you almost as long..." Ron began softly, Hermione was still staring at her feet.

"Ron, you are my best friend" Hermione began, Ron put his forefinger under her chin and raised her face so it was even with his.

"And you dont want anything more than friendship" Ron completed for her. He moved away, but felt her hand on his shoulder.

"I love you" She told him.

"but as a friend" he finished for her

"Yes"

"Well, I love you...but I love you as more" Ron replied, and then turned, and walked back into the church.

*****

Ginny stood as Ron re entered the church. They looked at each other, and then Ron began to approach.

"Ron, I want to tell you some thing...I am not a little..." Ginny began,but Ron cut her off.

"I am not happy about the situation, but I guess if you think you have made the right choice, then I am ok with it all" Ron said, and then moved to the back corner of the church where he sat in order to think.

Every one was so caught up in the drama of the Weasley's, that no one saw the slight movement from the front of the church.

Goyle's dead body moved its hand.

Ok, ladies and gents, the next chappie.

REVIEWERS MESSAGES -

MIDNIGHT ROSE - I know they are twins, and I know they are exactly the same, but I have a favourite, and my favourite is GEORGE, GEORGE WEASLEY FOREVER. Sam I am is just a tripper!!!!!

SAM I AM - You are tripping' girl...I am writting this note to tell you I will have a rebuttal soon. I need time to research (and to steal my books back off of my friends)

NUPIL - Girl, we are like Kindred Sprits!!!!!

1. we both love Lupin (LUPIN FOREVER)

2. We both love Alan Rickman (although I dont like him as Sevie baby...where do you come up with these names.)

3. We both prefer GEORGE in stead of Fred.

Ok, other stuff for you Nupil - The character in R&J you are thinking of is Rosiline. And I was thinking of Having Pansy as her. But, in the play, Rosiline is only ever mentioned, never seen, so unless I was to change to play so we see Pansy, it never would have worked.

And no, I did not hear the Rumor about Christian Bale playing Remus. The only Rumor I heard about Remus was that Ewan McGregor (the new Obi Wan Kenobi...and that guy from Moulin Rouge) was going to play him. Which would be so cool, I love Ewan!!!
