Hermione's POV
Why on earth did I fall in love with him? Sure he's cute and he can be so sweet sometime, but still. then again, who else would get detention for beating Malfoy to a bloody pulp because he told the entire school that I have cancer? Then again, why couldn't I have fallen in love with a boy who has a nice temper? Why not someone who would rather stay with me than ignore me calling them as they chased down someone who had been eavesdropping? Or how about a guy who would let me protect myself sometimes. And what ever happened to my dream of marrying someone even smarter than me, someone who works hard, is dedicated, studious, not interested in sports or other things considered 'manly'. someone just about the opposite of my fiancée in that way.
The only reason that I can think of is BECAUSE I FELL IN LOVE WITH RON.
It's not all bad, being in love with him. He always makes me feel wanted, and the fact that he'd risk anything for me is more than attractive, he's so sweet and so cute and just such a softy when we're alone. He's not afraid to cry and yet he can always see something good in a bad situation. All I see is the rain cloud (cumulonimbus, thousands of feet tall, can precipitate hail, snow, rain.) and he sees that silver lining everyone always talks about. And so what if he love quidditch, so what if it used to be all he cared about? He loves me more.
I guess as far as love goes I have nothing to complain about.
And he has a great family; I love them as I love my own. One day they'll be my family. Not yet though, I don't think that Ron has told them yet, he keeps 'forgetting' to send the letter. It makes me wonder sometimes. is he regretting that he asked me?
I think I should try to stop thinking about this so much; I'm here to study- OWLs are soon. I love this corner of the library, it's in the back- near the restricted section- and it has a big window. The window, however, doesn't look outside it looks into the hallway in front of Dumbledore's office.
Who's that coming out now?
Is that. it is! It's Bill!
He's going to be my brother.
Wait a minute! Bill's *here*!
(Hermione drops her things and runs into the hallway)
"Bill!"
"Hey Hermione. When did you cut your hair?"
"Oh, um. over Christmas Hols. What are you doing here? Ron didn't tell me you were coming."
"Well it was a last minute thing, I didn't tell Ron. I thought I'd surprise him. Do you know where I can find my little siblings?"
"Come on, lets go to the common room- Ginny's in the dorms studying for her big Transfiguration test next week."
"I see you're rubbing off on my little sister."
"There's nothing wrong with being prepared."
He laughed.
"Pixie dust," Hermione said to the Fat Lady. "Make yourself comfortable Bill, I'll go get Gin."
"Thanks, but one thing before you do?"
"Sure."
"Has my brother wised up yet?"
"What do you mean?"
"Are the two of you a couple yet?"
"Yes, we are."
"Good."
Ahh! That was. interesting. Ron definitely hasn't told him yet."
"Ginny, your brother's here!"
"And? That excites you, not me."
"Bill."
"What?"
"BILL is here."
"Bill?!"
"Yes, come on, he's in the common room waiting. I'll go find Ron while you two talk."
"Yeah, go find Ron- I'm sure it's torture to see him."
"Yes, well it'll be torture for him."
"Why?"
"I'm a bit mad at him- by the way, don't mention that I'm engaged."
"Why not?"
"Bill doesn't know yet and I plan on making Ron tell him."
"Ahhh, I am enlightened."
She's so cute. I really do love that whole family. Molly Weasley is so sweet and caring, but she isn't afraid of anything, and Arthur Weasley is so funny. Charlie and Bill are both very fun and they care about their family and friends a lot. Percy. I'm one of the only people who doesn't find him unbearable, but I think he's rather amusing. Fred and George are hilarious. Ron is Ron, and Ginny is so. unpredictable, but she's so lovable.
Where is that moron? There's Harry, maybe he knows.
"Oy! Harry!"
"Hi Hermione, what's wrong?"
"Where's Ron?"
"Ummm, the dungeon."
"WHY?"
"Detention, why?"
"Bill's in the common room."
"Really?"
"Yeah, give him some time with Ginny before you say hi, okay?"
"Yes'm,"
Stupid Snape, why did he make Ron serve detention NOW?! I'm going to go see Dumbledore. Maybe he can make Snape let Ron see his brother. . "Headmaster?"
"Yes Miss Granger, or would your prefer Ms. Weasley?"
"Ms. Granger is fine for now please."
"Well then, Ms. Granger, how may I help you?"
"As you know, Bill Weasley is here for the day."
"Yes, I am aware."
"Well, naturally, he wants to see his brother, but Ron is in detention with Prof Snape."
"I see."
"I was wondering if you could ask Professor Snape to let him off for now so that he could see Bill. They don't get to see each other much because Ron's here and Bill works in Egypt and."
"I understand Ms. Granger."
He walked to the fireplace and threw a handful of red dust into it.
"Professor Snape!" He called into the fire.
"Yes Headmaster?" Snape's head appeared in the center of the fire.
"I need Mr. Weasley."
"But sir, he's in detention for fighting."
"I am aware, I am also aware that there was someone else fighting who did not get a detention."
"Sir he attacked Mr. Malfoy."
"Serverus, I'm sending Ms. Granger to pick him up from your room. You will let them go."
Snape saw me in the office behind the headmaster and sent me an icy stare. I hate that man.
"Thank you headmaster."
"Think nothing of it, Ms. Granger, but I do have a question I'd like to ask you."
"Yes sir?"
"Are you asking to be called Ms. Granger because a certain Mr. Weasley is visiting and he doesn't know that you are to be his sister?"
"Yes and no sir, I would rather use my last name because I don't want all of my classmates knowing. However, Ron hasn't told Bill yet either."
"Well, I suggest you go deliver your boyfriend."
"Thank you sir." .
" Ms. Granger?"
"I'm here to get Ron. Ron, come on. wait till you see who's here to see you."
" Ms. Granger?" Snape asked, "Why is every other female student Miss and you, Ms. Granger are Ms.?"
I'm not answering him. I just took Ron's arm and pulled him out of the room.
"Minny! You're getting more outgoing by the minute."
"Well who knows how many minutes I have left," she responded bitterly.
"Don't talk like that! And you. you didn't even answer him!"
"Why should I? He has no right to know, your family doesn't even know."
"But they will, I just keep forgetting to write and send the letter. You know I have a bad memory. Well they're going to find out today."
"But it'll take a day for them to get the letter."
"You're not sending a letter."
"Hermione, slow down. And WHAT are you talking about?"
"Guess who's in the common room."
"What?"
"I got Dumbledore to get you out of detentions so that you could see someone. I said that I'd get you and I did. I don't want to start out on a bad note."
"Minny, who's here?"
"Guess."
He gulped, "Mum?"
"Nope."
"Dad?"
"No."
"Perce?"
"No."
"Charlie?"
"No, you have one sibling left who doesn't go to school here."
"Bill."
"Come on, he's waiting."
"Wait, Minny, are you mad at me?"
"Maybe."
"As your fiancée I think I deserve the right to know what you're going to get mad at me over."
"Don't give me that fiancée crap!" He just stared at her.
"What? Good God Minny, what did I do?"
"Well, your brother not only doesn't know that we're engaged, but he didn't even know that we're going out!"
"Minny, don't be mad! Remember, we weren't even going out until."
"Fine, I wont be mad at you if you promise to finally do one thing."
"What?"
"When you see Bill, you tell him: immediately."
"I will, I promise."
"Good." And all I can say is that he better. . "Where have you two been? It took forever!" Ginny teased.
"He was in detention, I had to see the headmaster to get him out."
"Wow!" said Bill, "Either Dumbledore's gone soft or you are very persuasive."
"Well, it's a bit of both."
"Why did you have detention Ron?"
"For beating up Malfoy."
"Ron, you know better than that!"
"He deserved it," Harry told Bill, "big time."
"What did he do?"
"Told the whole school something he wasn't supposed to know."
"What was it?"
"Aren't we the gossiper."
They're trying to avoid the subject, I don't see why. They know he'll know eventually. Besides, everyone I don't want to know knows, and I want the Weasleys to know.
"He told everyone that I have cancer."
That shut them up.
"Why did he do that?"
"Because I have cancer and I didn't want everyone to know."
I looked at Ron. It's now or never.
"Guys, can I talk to Bill alone for a minute?" he asked.
I knew he would! Okay, so I didn't know, but I really really wanted him to. Bye bye Harry, bye Ginny. Ron has to talk to Bill.
"Bill."
"Hey, what's wrong Ronniekins?"
"I.er.I don't know how exactly to put this."
"Just say it."
"Mum and dad don't know yet."
"Okay."
"Only me, Hermione, Harry, Ginny, Dumbledore, and McGonagall know."
"Ron."
"Yeah?"
"Just tell me."
"I.am.gonna get married."
"I hope to get married one day too Ron." Bill laughed.
"I mean I'm getting married soon, to Minny."
"Who's Minny?"
"Me."
Bill looked back and forth between us.
"Does this have something to do with you being sick Hermione?" "Yes and no," Ron said, "It was kind of a wake-up call for me. I just want to be as close to her and spend as much time with her as I can."
"Then the best of luck to you guys, and I better be invited to the wedding."
"Thank you."
"One more thing."
"Yeah?"
"Tell Mum and Dad already! They won't want to hear it from me."
