Same disclaimers apply
***A/N: Haha! I read my previous chappies and I noticed that I had a lot of mistakes (grammatically), so just forgive me for them… I'll fix them when I have time. But meanwhile…here's the 6th chapter.
Thanks for the reviews! I have reached 55! Oh, and I'm sorry if I disappointed some people by making Draco actually have feelings… but c'mon, let's face it! EVERYONE has feelings, right? And Draco is just one of them… : )
Chapter 6: Ambush
Hermione hit Ron at the back oh his head with a book. A very heavy book at that.
"Ouch!!! What in bloody hell was that for?!" Ron growled, massaging his aching head with his right hand and holding some kind of herb in the other.
"I told you a million times, Ron! You cannot apply Allspice to Oregano! That would only cause it to explode!!!" Hermione screamed at him
"Well maybe the reason I forgot is because of the billion times you hit me on the head with your gigantic books!" Ron countered, his voice getting louder
"No Ron! It's because of your stupidity!" Hermione rivaled
"What?!?! Just because you bury your head in your beloved books and I don't makes me stupid?!" He snickered while shaking his head "You know why I don't spend more than half of my lifetime reading books? It's because I have friends! Lots of them! And all you have are these!" He grabbed one of her books from the table "These are what you count on when you need help! These are what you turn to when you're lost! Did it ever occur to you that books don't always have the answer?!"
"So you're telling me that I have no friends?" Hermione's voice grew soft
"YES!" Ron shouted. He didn't seem to notice the decrease of volume in her voice.
Hermione's eyes started to water.
Ron was still raging with anger, but he noticed anyway. He cooled down and started "Hermione… I-I didn't mean-"
"So… you're… not my friend" Hermione said, turning her back at him
"I am! I-I just didn't know what I was saying…" He said in an audible whisper, approaching her and cleaved her shoulders, holding her very close. "I'm sorry"
From her couch in the Gryffindor common room, Ginny watched the couple with a smile. Not a couple, she thought, not yet at least. They were always like that. Fighting, then making up, then fighting once again, and then making up… It was obvious that they had more than just friendly feelings for each other. At times, Ginny just wanted to scream at both of them and teach them a lesson about honesty. But she told herself that she had to let them find out those feelings by themselves.
"Hey Lovebirds!" Ginny liked teasing them though. They would both turn very red, and abruptly stand apart from each other. Then they start stuttering. Just like they're doing now.
"Wh-what?" Ron stammered
Ginny held back her giggle. She loved seeing her brother like this. "Have you seen Harry?"
"No, haven't seen him since dinner" then his lips formed a nocuous grin, he couldn't let his younger sister get away with what she said so easily "I thought you had plans of going out tonight"
"And where would we go?"
"I don't know… maybe that deserted muggle classroom at the third floor"
Ginny turned red. Very red. It was her turn to stutter.
"Wh-why would we want to go there?"
"I know you've been there before, dear sister."
Ginny's eyes widened. She pushed Ron into a corner, not wanting to gather attention.
"You- did you see?" she hissed
"Well, yes" Ron smiled, cocking an eyebrow
"I-it wasn't what it looked like!" she explained as if desperately
"Oh it looked pretty clear to us" Hermione smiled, standing beside Ron.
"You too?!" Ginny shrieked
The two laughed out, and were soon holding on to each other for support. Ginny glared at them, making them hold back their laughter.
"Sorry Gin… the door was open…and…" Ron engaged in another fit of laughter before finishing his sentence.
Ginny was very mad right now, the youngest Weasley was known to have the shortest temper. She was about to lose it.
Then, as if light bulb has appeared above her head, her lips formed its own mischievous simper.
"Wait a minute, I wonder what you two were doing there… It was awfully late at night, and if I can remember clearly, it was also a school night" Ginny put her forefinger on her chin, pretending to be thinking "Have you two gotten bored and coincidentally just bumped into each other in the middle of the night? That would be very unlikely, don't you think?"
Ron and Hermione stopped laughing and once again, turned red.
"Oh, I bet there's something more to that midnight stroll of yours…" she didn't let them speak "well I better be going now, I have to look for Harry. Tell him that I did if he comes back here, will you?" she requested as she turned her back on them and headed towards the portrait hole, leaving the two tomatoes with no words.
*******************************************************************************
Harry sped through the night, his hair being heaved by the cold rush of air. He loved the feeling of flying. It made him feel free, as if he could do anything he wanted, with no restrictions. His broom was running without hindrance, and he controlled it effortlessly.
He made a spin that was done so smoothly, you would think the wind was of his control as well. Then abruptly stopped. There was someone in the field. The figure wasn't clear though, so he headed down to the grounds. His eyes came upon a woman.
"Cho! What are you doing here?"
***A/N: Is this a cliffhanger? I don't know myself, but just wait for the next chappie ok? Oh and about the conversation of Ginny with her brother and Hermione, I was just showing that I am a R/HR person! Hehe… and the late night thing, Ginny and Harry sneaked out and did something embarrassing (I think I'll write that as a whole other story) … but I hope you understood it though… : ) and if you're wondering why the title of this chapter is ambush, it's because in the conversation, they were all ambushing each other…
And also, PLEASE review!!! I want to achieve 100 reviews for this fic… would you be so kind as to help me? Thanks!!! ; P
