Harry Potter and the Jade Heart
Chapter 6
"A Few Changes"
Harry stayed to help Hermione do more research. Ron and Dean left them and went up to their room. Dean collapsed on his bed. Ron went to the window and looked outside.
"I think Hermione should stop worrying so much," said Dean. "Worrying won't prevent the future from happening."
"Where's Seamus?" Ron asked, still looking out the window.
"He's with that Hufflepuff prefect. Everyone seems to be pairing up with someone."
"We're fifteen. What'd you expect?"
"You're about to turn sixteen," Dean said.
"I still have over a month," said Ron.
"What's so interesting outside?"
"Nothing."
"Oh, so *nothing* is more interesting than me. I'm flattered," Dean said, jokingly, as he sat up.
Ron turned to look at Dean. He sat down next to him. "Hermione thinks I have a girlfriend."
"You still like her, don't you?" Dean said, sympathetically.
"Hermione likes Harry," said Ron. "I know it."
"You don't know that for sure."
"Why are you pushing this? Do you want me to ask Hermione out?"
"All I know is that this summer you started sending me owls because you had no one else to turn to. You couldn't talk to Harry about it, and you certainly didn't want to tell Hermione. I don't mind," Dean added, when he saw the look on Ron's face. "You know that she knows."
"And even after she knew, she went to visit Krum. That tells me how she feels."
"You used to be so easy going."
"People change, Dean."
"You can say that again. Seamus is completely whipped by that Hufflepuff. I guess we both feel rejected by our best friends, huh?" Dean grabbed Ron's hand. Ron smiled.
"You know what. Some change is for the better."
