Chapter 8: Hermione's Confession
Ron felt throbbing on his stomach as the spider punched hard. Why dare look at his chest, when their was probably a red bloody hole? But after a few seconds the pain was gone.
Ron heard the hushed voices of the Seawitches and the yelping of the people who were tied. With a loud snap the spider vanished. He now felt normal. He looked down and saw that the spider had caused him no scar.
"Stand up!" The Seawitch barked and Ron did what he was commanded. He stood, grabbed the sword and his wand and looked at the very dissapointed Seawitches.
"Someone.wished to be invincible!" The Seawitch said miserably. "You can not die."
"And you can not get the necklace from me!" Ron said happily.
The Seawitch blinked and stood up. She did not jerk or take notice Ron's wand held up at her. "Surely.You don't want to be strong and unbeatible forever?"
"Err." Ron said.
"We're talking about something serious. Forever is a long time and when the world burns to its ashes only you stand." The Seawitch said. "You'll be alone. one wife each century you live is a lot of wives."
"Yeah." Ron said slowly.
"You'll never be beaten! You'll never be able to be the same around your friends or whats left of your family," The Seawitch said circling around him gradually. "Parents dead.Life with a scar. Fake love and no where to go."
"Well.Of course I don't want that."
"Then you must give it up!" The Sea Witch said. "For the sake of those around you.and those who are not."
"I can't risk giving it to someone else, especially you!" Ron said. "You'll still make my life a living hell."
The Seawitch blinked. "Oh I sware i'll spare you! And your friends if you wish." The Queen said edging closer. "How about it?"
Ron took out the necklace and saw the Queens eyes beaming greedily. "I can practacally see your drool! No thanks, better you then me."
"Why? Why, why, why?" The Queen repeatidly stomped her foot and Ron threw it under her foot and she stomped on it.
The Sea witches gasped and piercing screams filled the room. The Queen fell down to the ground feeling its ruins. The necklace was gone. Forever.
"What've you done?"
"Oh shut up." Ron said. "Expelliarmus!" The witch flew back. "Anyone else who want a the very little wizard in me?"
The Seawitches backed away and comforted their Queen while Ron untied all of them.
Harry took one look at Ron and helped him free the others. Hermione couldn't look at Ron. She shyly threw the ropes aside and helped Harry.
"Guys-"
"Thanks for saving our lives lets get going." Harry said imediately and Harry walked of, Everyone following.
***
Ron sat on a chair as he watched Harry and Hermione play chess, holding himself back from saying which moves were right. Days had passed since the Seawitch adventure and Harry and Hermione spoke little to Ron.
Ron didn't know why they acted the way they did. So he had a magical necklace that put everyone under a spell and made Ron look good. Not like he meant it.
Hermione had one the chess game and avoiding conversations with Ron she greeted Lavender and Parvati.
As Harry cleared the chess board Ron asked. "What's going on? You guys bareky talk to me and I didn't do a thing wrong! Why is Hermione all-"
"Well wouldn't you be freaked out when you found you were under your friend's necklace's curse?" Harry explained. "Everything that she had been feeling- we have been feeling- fake."
Ron remembered their moment at the lake and didn't know why the memory gave him such an ache.
"I don't blame you, of course I should have paid more attention." Harry said slowly. "That the life you wanted was like that."
"I didn't wish for your scar or every girl in the school liking me." Ron snapped. "Maybe I need some attention too, Harry. I don't have anything that interests people." Ron glanced at Harrys scar then left the common room. He didn't feel in the mood for talking about that.
Ron walked past Squilt's office and saw that she was inside.
"Proffesor Squilt!" Ron said alarmed.
"Oh hello Ron.life good without the necklace?" She looked weary and pale.
"Not exactly." Ron said dully. "What about you? Rough time getting above ground."
"Extremely hard.but lets not talk about that. Ron, life has changed after you got rid of that necklace, huh?" Squilt said.
"Yeah." Ron said. He heard footsteps outside.
"Well there is a way to redo the days with the necklace so that you had never found it." Squilt said. "A spell. Simple.some of my Sea witch tricks."
Ron saw that behind the creaked door stood Hermione looking at him and politely waiting. Her eyes said that they needed to talk. ". and the thing would be as if it never happened. How does that sound? I know you need it. And I can see if I still have the Seawitch zap."
Ron shook his head and looked at Squilt. "Er-Ok?" Ron said unsure. "If you want.look I have to go."
"Oh sure.sure.I'll get right on it."
Ron left wthout looking back and closed Squilts door. Hermione and him were face to face.
"What's up?" Ron said. "You need to talk?"
"I- have to." Hermione said walking back and forth nervously. "You know.the necklace gave you what you wanted but it didn't change what people were feeling."
"Yes it did. Everyone liked me."
"Ok well then.it didn't change much of me." Hermione said, looking at Ron nervously.
Ron looked at Hermione his heart beating. "Wh-what do you mean?"
"Well I wouldn't have noticed this now if it hadn't been for that one moment by the lake." Hermione said pacing again.
Ron almost needed the door for support of his shock. "Go on."
Hermione stopped and played with her fingers. "You notice that things have always been weird.sometimes.lately?"
Ron stood closer to Hermione. "Are you saying you have feelings for me?" Ron asked apprehensively. "Besides.friendship?"
Hermione looked at Ron. "If yes would you say the same?"
Ron smiled and nodded. Hermione returned it.
"So.now what?" She asked.
BANG. Ron and Hermione looked at Squilts door.
"What was that?" Hermione asked then-
BOOM.
Ron woke up. He looked around and noticed Harry out of bed.
"Harry?" Ron called.
Harry jumped. "Ron. You scared me."
"Sorry. What are you doing awake?" Ron asked getting up.
"I was going to go for a- walk." Harry told him. "Can't sleep." He pointed his thumb over to the snoring Neville.
Ron smiled. "How 'bout I walk with you? See what teachers are awake."
So they both got under the invisibility cloak and walked around the halls aimlessly. They then heard voices. It was Snape.
"100 points from Gryffindor and Hufflepuff! Think you can go grab whatever you want in *my* office?!"
Harry and Ron watched as Snape and Filch were leading Keri and Bethany down the halls.
"She just-"
"Keep your mouth shut Trescher!" Snape said. "Your lucky its not my power to expel you but I will make sure you get punishment. Both of you!"
"I'm getting tired. Lets go back to bed." Harry said yawning. Ron agreed and they walked back to the common room.
"Sad. Poor 2nd years getting caught by Snape." Ron said shaking his head.
"I bet If those were slytherin, he wouldn't of taken so much points away." Harry said.
"Yeah- but Snape'll never take points off Slytherin- I wish though." Ron smiled. "Wouldn't that be unusual?"
