Chapter 2 -
' So come on, baby
Drive me crazy
Love me or hate me
Drive me crazy '
There was a certain feeling of freedom and confidence while being under an invisibility cloak. This occured to Ron as he searched for Ginny and Hermoine. It was a different experience to be around so many people and not be seen. He'd worn the cloak before, but never for reasons like these. It was always during a time of danger. It made him feel quite liberated.
Ron found Ginny and Hermoine in the library. He wasn't surprised. It amazed him how Hermoine could burrow under his skin and drive him to the brink of insanity. Yet at the same time, it was fun to bicker and banter with her. To watch the fire light in her eyes and see her glare at him. Good Merlin, how he loved that glare ! Even when she was making him mental, he wanted nothing more than to keep it up. To keep it going.
Leave it to Hermoine to be doing schoolwork during Holiday break, he mused.
Ron stopped behind her and surveyed the scene. Ginny sat across from Hermoine doing schoolwork. He smirked. His sister most likely would have waited on her homework assignments, but Hermoine seemed to have a certain affect on people. One could not sit with her for long periods of time when she was working and not get the urge to pick up a quill.
Neither knew he was there. From what he could see, Hermoine had her schoolwork in front of her, and not the letter. That meant one of two things. Either she had already read it and had it put away before Ginny had gotten to her, or she hadn't seen it yet. Whichever it was, the letter was still out of his sight and he had no idea where it could be.
GInny looked behind Hermoine and nearly blanched. All she could see was Ron's face shrouded partially by Harry's invisibility cloak. To anyone else, it looked as if there were a floating face in the library. She glanced around quickly to see if anyone else was there. Thankfully, there was no one around.
Hermoine looked up from her work to her friend, " Have you seen Ron at all today ? "
" Er, " Ginny answered, eyes snapping back to Hermoine, " yes, " she said, though it sounded more like a question.
Ron looked like an animal caught by floodlights. He froze in place, eyes as wide as Dobby's, like tennis balls, back as straight as a concrete wall. Ginny tried her hardest not to look at him.
" Has he said anything to you at all about me ? "
Ginny cleared her throat and did her best to act naturally, " No. Why would you ask ? Have you had another fight ? "
" No. I just get the feelings he's been avoiding me. I need to speak with him, " she said, her eyes returning to her work.
Ginny looked up into her brother's eyes, " If I see him, I'll let him know. "
" Thank you. "
Ron expelled an inaudible sigh of relief. He and Ginny were still locking gazes, involved in a silent conversation.
' Has she read it, ' he mouthed to her.
Ginny shifted in her chair and shrugged, shaking her head slightly once. Ron wondered if that meant Hermoine hadn't read it or if his sister wasn't sure. There was also the chance that Ginny couldn't read lips, but Ron pressed on anyway.
' Where is it, ' he lip synched again.
She darted her eyes to the bag on the bench aside of Hermoine. Ron nodded and concealed his face once more behind the invisibility cloak. Ever so slowly he advanced behind Hermoine, careful not to make a sound. He was close enough to almost touch her, but didn't dare. Close enough to smell her body splash again. It made him ache to put his arms around her, but of course, he knew he couldn't. He paused a moment, just to breath in her air.
Shaking his head and remembering the reason he'd gone there in the first place, Ron inched up to the bag. When his hand was almost inside it ( Thank Merlin she had left it unzipped ), Hermoine suddenly perked up and sat rod straight.
" What's that, " she breathed.
" What's what ? "
" I feel something....someone in here. "
Ginny squelched the urge to make any sudden movements. Somehow she thought it would clue Hermoine in if she were to jump up and furiously motion for Ron to back off. So instead, she mirrored her friend's posture and played dumb.
" We're the only ones here. "
" No, there's someone else here, I can feel it. "
" Maybe it's one of the ghosts. "
" No, I don't feel cold. It's warm. "
" I don't see anyone. " It was a half truth, but it would do.
" Maybe it's nothing, " she said relaxing after a few moments, " I just had the strangest feeling come over me. "
Ron held back a sigh of relief. His hand was on the letter. He had it ! He poked his face out of the cloak again and nodded to Ginny, letting her know he had it. Then, he concealed himself again. As he made a slow exit from their corner, he heard Hermoine's voice again.
" If you do see Ron before I do, Ginny, please tell him I'd like to speak with him. "
Stay tuned for Chapter 3 !
