Chapter 3- Family Understanding
The next morning Ginny was woken up by her brother. She was shocked that he was in her dorm; a girl's dorm. Then she realized that he wasn't very happy. In fact, he was downright mad. She could guess why he was mad even before he said anything.
"Ginny! You told Harry about Hermione and I. I'm your brother, how could you have chosen to tell him instead of keep my secret? After all of the years we've grown up together, how could you have chosen his side over mine?" Ron sounded a little hurt, along with his madness.
"Ron, you know I would have stuck by you if you had done something that I believed was right. If you truly believed that what you were doing the right thing then I would have stood by you. But I know you better than anyone, and I know that in your heart that what you did was wrong. And not telling Harry was even worse. So I had to take things into my own hands."
"I guess you're right, but Harry's avoiding me now, he won't look at me, or talk to me. I want to apologize, but he won't let me get near him," Ron said.
"Can you really blame him? What you did was unforgivable," Ginny reasoned.
"I guess you're right, but I just wish there was something I could do."
"You have to give him time, he's not going to heal overnight."
"You always were the one who knew people, weren't you Ginny?" Ron asked.
"Yeah, I think so."
After hugging Ginny, Ron left. As disgusted as she was with her brother, the fact still remained that he was her brother, and she felt bad for him, no matter how wrong a thing he had done. For a long time Ginny sat on her bed thinking about everything. Finally she realized that she was late for breakfast and got dressed and ran down in time to grab some toast. Ginny didn't see Harry, Ron or Hermione and wondered were they all were. If she were to guess, Hermione and Ron were off somewhere together, and Harry was in the library, but she didn't have time to find any of them, because she had to get to her first class.
Harry wandered out of the library in time to make it to his first class: Potions, which meant seeing both Hermione and Ron. And Ron happened to be his partner. The last thing he wanted to do was talk to Ron. Harry would have rather be partnered up with Malfoy, but he knew that he wasn't that lucky. He arrived to class and took a seat moments before class started.
"Hi," Ron said, but Harry didn't reply. "Look, I realize that you are mad at me, and you have a right to be-"
"You got that right," Harry said, cutting Ron off. "I don't want to talk to you. Hermione is the only one I need to talk to. Once I have a word with her, she's all yours. You two deserve each other." Harry walked up to Snape's desk and requested a new partner. Snape, happy with the fact that Harry and Ron weren't getting along, agreed. Ron made no attempts to talk to Harry the rest of class, though he did whisper to Hermione a lot.
