Chapter 2
Ever since Ron had heard about Malfoy liking his little sister, Ron has been trying to kill him. Harry would have tried to kill him as well, but he was too busy trying to hold Ron back whenever Malfoy would walk by, a large smirk on his face as he bragged to Crabbe and Goyle about his new girlfriend. One day in Potions, Malfoy had sat close to Harry and Ron and said out loud that he had plans tonight involving a lovely red head and empty classroom. Ron had jumped up so quickly, not even Snape had noticed Ron punched the boy in the face and knocked him off his chair. That was mostly because a lot of people had jumped up at the same time in the shock of the moment.
"Ron I can't believe you! Your sister isn't so dumb that she'll actually let Malfoy do anything to her!" Hermione yelled that night in the common room as Ron sat in a chair with an extremely stubborn look as he slouched deeper into the chair.
"You wouldn't understand, 'Mione. Besides, what does she see in him? He's just a stuck up bastard." Ron said and Hermione glared at him.
"Listen Ron, if I hear any more about you trying to ruin your sister's love life, I swear it'll be over between us." She yelled and grabbed her things, stomping angrily out the room. Harry watched her leave and turned to Ron, who didn't take his eyes off the fire.
"You wanna play some wizard's chess?" he asked but Ron didn't say anything. He was probably still trying to figure out if Hermione would really break up with him for fulfilling his older brother duties. He sighed and looked up at harry.
"You're lucky you're an only child." He muttered and looked down at his old chessboard. "Yeah, maybe we should play." He added. As they played, people began to go up to bed and Hermione had returned, not saying a word to Ron.
"Still mad are we?" he asked and she glared at him. Feeling that they should be left alone, Harry quickly excused himself and went up towards the boys' dorm. On his way, he expected to here some yelling, but he didn't, so he crept qiuetly back down the stairs and looked over at the two. Hermione was now sitting in Ron's lap with her head lying on his chest as she whispered to him. Ron was wearing a very pleased grin, but wasn't talking. Harry found it funny how two people w ho could argue so much could be so meant to be. As he watched them, Ron now wearing a very satisfied smirk, the portrait hole flew open and Ginny came walking in, her face hidden be her arm.
"Ginny, what's wrong?" asked Hermione, quickly jumping out of Ron's lap and going over to her. She made Ginny pull her arm away and Harry noticed she was crying. Ron had now came over to her and she threw her arms around his neck and went into tears.
"Please kill him!" she announced, burying her face into her brother's shoulder, crying even harder. Curious to know exactly what was going on, Harry got up and went up to them. Ron was patting Ginny on the head as Hermione tried to get some kind of story out of her.
"What's going on?" he asked, feeling for his wand in his pocket. Ron looked up at him seriously.
"Malfoy." He said and Harry narrowed his eyes. "You wanna go with me so we can handle him?"
"Don't have to ask me twice." Harry answered and Ginny turned to cry in Hermione's arms.
"Listen to me you two. I don't need either of you getting expelled. so be careful. And don't make two much noise when you're killing him." She suggested. They both nodded and got ready to leave, but Ginny quickly stopped them both.
"Don't do anything to him. not yet anyway." She said. Both boys stared at her in shock and obvious confusion. "When I'm ready, I'll send Fred and George after him. I don't need to have either of you getting into any more trouble than you're already in." she said.
"Ginny, we can't just let him get away with what he's done." Announced Ron but she glared up at him.
"Listen, I think he may be suffering a lot after w hat I've done to him. So we'll just leave it there tonight, ok." She said and Ron smiled cheerfully, patting her on the shoulder.
"Wow! We have taught you a lot at him haven't we. I suppose all those wrestling matches we got into when we were little came in handy." He laughed and she grinned up at him Harry smiled at her. She was really beautiful. It was hard to believe he had taken so long to notice this though. She grinned happily up at her brother.
"Actually, it was just a little swift foot moment Fred and George told me comes in handy when a guy is trying to take advantage of you." Ginny informed him, and they grinned widely. They obviously had a close relationship with each other, Harry thought as he watched them.
" Well, we had better get to bed then." Said Hermione cheerfully, and put an arm around Ginny's shoulder. "I wanna hear all about how you kicked Malfoy's butt." Ginny grinned and they went on their way to the girls' dorm, but she stopped.
"Ron, don't tell the twins just yet, ok?" she asked and he nodded. She smiled gratefully and was about to go back up the stairs, but stopped again and smiled at Harry. "Good night." She said and followed Hermione up the stairs. Ron turned to Harry with a smirk.
"Nice job Romeo." He teased.
