A.N: Once again 'Merci beaucoup or thanks a lot pour les REVIEWS !!! '

It was nice to know that you all liked the last chapter ! So here's the next one which is shorter than the last one. I hope this one goes on nicely as well !



Ch-5 Harry's disappointment !




"No please, No!! Don't leave me ,
Don't go with him, He's evil .Listen to me !!!Hermione "Ron was shouting.

This woke Harry up.Harry got up and looked at the source from where cries were coming from. It was Ron .He heard that his friend was saying the same words all over again .

Harry thought, 'Mmm ,This is shocking .Was Ron having a nightmare? Oh dear me!!
He is seeing Hermione even in his dreams .This must be a real bad one.I bet it's about Krum taking her away from him. Is he so scared of losing her? '

But the next second , his mind was screaming ,'Harry!Wake him up .You are not supposed sit here thinking .Do something quick !!'



So , Harry walked over to Ron's bed and shook him out of his dream."Ron ,get up !
Get up!!!What are you saying?"

Ron still under the effect of the dream said, "He....he.....he's trying to ki...kill Herm...." Ron stopped abruptly coming back to his senses .

"Who's trying to kill whom?Ron tell me "Harry prompted.It was a wild attempt to get Ron to admit his feelings .

While Ron was doing some fast thinking .He knew he'll have to make up some story or else Harry will get suspicious." Harry , I ....I was just dreaming of fighting with a ..with a...a SPIDER .Yes a spider.It was so huge just like Aragog ."

Ron shot a look at Harry trying to see if took in his version of his dream . It looked as if Harry did believe him . So he continued , "Harry did you wake up now or before?"
He was hoping against hope that Harry didn't hear what he was screaming .If he did then he was making a big fool of himself.

"You woke me up .....just a few seconds back .But I could barely make out what you were saying .It was sort of muffled because you were lying on your stomach .I guess you were having a bad dream so I woke you up "Harry said all this in one go.



Then Ron stood up and started stretching himself .He was trying his best to look and act the way he normally does .He got himself in control .Then artfully changed the topic of conversation by saying , "Look at the time it's almost 11.30 ,let 's see what's there for break fast. Man ,I am so hungry. I guess may be the after effects of that spider fight." Mustering all this strength he gave a fake laugh and said, "But first I need to go to the loo."

Ron went out of the room . Harry sat down on Ron's bed trying to comprehend what he had heard this morning.He knew that Ron was lying through his teeth . But all this pointed that he 'Harry Potter' must play matchmaker or else prepare to see his bestfriend go nuts SOON!!




++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++




As Harry reached the kitchen he could hear Mrs.Weasley screaming at the twins.
He saw the twins grinning at him while Mrs.Weasley turned at his entrance and said,"Good morning dear!"

He politely answered "Good morning ,Mrs.Weasley."

Then she continued,"Now where was I ? Ahh!Yes ! What do you both think by acting like this? It's looks as if your Dad and I have not taught you any manners. Such childish behaviour and that to under my own roof .I won't tolerate this .They could have been hurt .If something like that had happened then I would have..

But Fred interupted her."But Mum nothing happened so why are you worried?It was a nice joke."
"One of our best!"George added proudly.

"What ??You are proud of this .I am scandalised . Oh ..I..I feel like certainly murdering you two.You both will be the death of me........,"She went on and on .

Finally ,she stopped to take a breath .She was again irritated when she saw the Twins exchanging grins.She started again but this time shoved them out of the room .She went with them saying ,"I mean it .You both are going to clean the mess somehow.Hurry up! before I hex you both into next year.I 'll ...." as her sound faded away.




"What have they done this time?" Harry asked Ron as he joined him at the table. He noticed Hermione and Ginny were missing."Where are the girls?How come they're sleeping this late?"

Ron answered both questions together ."This time they set a sort of time bomb in Ginny's room to wake the girls .It not only woke them up. But turned the room upside down by springling some sort of greasy stuff ."Ron gave a huge grin at this.Harry also felt like grinning .

"No wonder your Mum's so mad at them.But did anything happen to the girls?"Harry asked.

"That's the best part both Ginny and H..Hermione's hair are just like Snape's.They are busy trying to get rid of all the grease."Ron answered cheekily .

"Oops!Shouldn't we go to comfort them or something ?"Harry said good naturedly.
"No use , I tried they don't want to see anyone one. The twins told me it was a great sight to see .They look exactly like miniature Snapes and the only thing missing is the hooked nose " Ron burst out laughing.





The kitchen door opened and Mrs.Weasley entered storming all the way to the stove.Then she used her wand and poured tea and a plate of noodles each for Ron and Harry. Ron started digging in as soon as possible while Harry tried pacify Mrs.Weasley who looked miserable .

He said,"Mrs.Weasley why don't you have a cup of tea?I'll pour it if you don't mind!" "Yes thank you dear!How considerate of you!,"she said as she took her cup from Harry.Nothing more was said at the table .Harry and Ron quietly finished their breakfast.





"Would you both mind taking this tray of food for the girls?"Mrs.Weasley asked .Harry volunteered immediately,"Yes Mrs.Weasley we'll take them ."She gave them the trays and said , "I don't want to burden you both , but I have got some work to do.Those two devils have messed up my schedule!!"




+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++




As they climbed the stairs they could hear a cacaphony coming from Ginny's room:


"Scrub ,scrub,scrub,
with all your might.
Clean,clean,clean
till it becomes right"

"Its all left to us
we have to hurry up,
or else we'll find
us ,all buried up!!"

This ridiculous song went on .It was sung surely by the twins while they were cleaning up the messy floor and walls.As Harry and Ron entered the room they found that the girls weren't there.

George and Fred saw the food.Thinking it was for them,George said,"Goodness me,
You brought us our breakfast .I am definitely starving."
Fred also said,"Hey! I thought Mum was starving us till we get this done.Not that I am complaining. Thanks guys for bringing it here."

"Hold it,hold it, we brought this not to feed the pranksters but the victims.Where are
they? ,"Ron enquired.The twins looked as if they didn't hear.So Harry asked the same thing again,"Guys please ,Your mum told us to deliver this to them . So,where are they?"

This time Fred answered mischieviously,"I think they hid themselves not wanting you both to catch the greasy sight of them.Hahhhhhaa Hahaaa"George joined him in laughing.Ron and Harry looked at each other and shrugged.They decided to search for the girls themselves.



"Ginny, Ginny!Where are you? "
"Hermione ,Hermione!Where are you? "
"Ginny!!!Hermione!!!"
Both Ron and Harry called out loud .But no response.They checked everywhere right from the Twins'room to even the loo but there was no sign of them.



++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++



"Where are they ?"Ron asked Harry in exasperation .
"O.k then let's go back to kitchen" Harry said.
"Wait a sec, I heard something "Ron said .Then simething clicked in his mind.

He exclaimed,"That's it ,they are in the attic!"


"Ginny, Hermione,it's us.We have brought you both your breakfast."Ron and Harry conjointly said. Harry added "We promise not to make fun or laugh at you . Please come down!!"


Slowly they heard and the saw feets descending.Both Hermione and Ginny's face looked tear stained .Ron nodded at Harry seeing enormous towels covering their hair.Ron breaking the silence said,"Come to my room .You both haven't had anything since yesterday's dinner."




The girls proceeded to Ron's room and the boys followed.They sat on the beds.Ron handed the tray to Hermione while Harry did the same to Ginny.They both ate without speaking a word and handed the tray back .Ron akwardly asked,"Why aren't you both speaking anything?" They didn't answer just stared down on the floor.

Now Ron lost his temper and he blabbered the very next thing which came into his mind "Did the twins' time bomb affected your tongue as well?"

This was certainly the last question to be asked .Harry could guess now who 'll answer that question and how.

"Ron Weasley ,Did I hear you saying something just now?"Hermione said looking really dangerous.

Ron rambled on" Ofcourse ! I did say that you both didn't have tongues and now I think you might be deaf also!"

Hermione retorted,"If you think we are deaf then you are certainly heartless!!"

Ron answered clenching his mouth," Oh,Yeah!!! I am heartless while Vicky isn't?
I suppose he has flattered your vanity or something.

If looks could kill then certainly Ron would have been dead by now .Hermione stood up and warned him,"Not one more word !Not one more.. or you'll regret!"

Harry and Ginny didn't know what to do.It was as if both of their mouths were glued up.They watched all this helplessly.The conversion was getting really heated up.

Unfortunately Ron who had gone past thinking twice stage continued after taking a deep breath."So I am not supposed to talk nor write letters nor do anything while I bet your Vicky does all that.Isn't it ?"

Hermione couldn't control herself anymore.She didn't have her wand with her but anyways she wouldn't be able to use it as she is an underage witch.Hence, all she could do was to allow emotions to control her.She shouted at Ron and said,"You are the most pig- headed person I have seen!!!" She tried to stiffle the sobs escaping her but ended up by breaking into tears.She didn't want to show her weakness to anyone so she rushed out of the room.



Ron looked after her and heard the front door shut.He didn't know what to do.He looked at Harry and Ginny who were glaring at him.They couldn't believe he was such a git.


Ginny restrained herself from shouting.She calmly said,"Ron ,why don't you understand our feelings? What would you say if your hair turned like this".......she removed the towel. Her hair was exactly as if it changed the colour from auburn to greasy black.It did look like an extreme case of Snape's hair. However, she went on, "and suppose whatever you do it remains just like that. I guess it's nothing to you that we might loose all our hair and become bald.Mum said anything could happen .Then you question us whether we have tongues or what?? "

By the way Ron ,"Do you know something you just insulted Hermione infront of us and on top of that made her cry ??You are surely pig-headed....you.....you...She tried to regain the control she was losing.She didn't want to show the famous Weasley temper infront of Harry .

While Ron was cursing himself for being so thoughtless.He liked her so much then why did he do that to her?He had made her cry as well as go out .Just like Ginny had said he was a total prat. He knew now what he should do .He must find her and apologise
now.... ,now itself.He ran out through the same door.After a few seconds, Harry and Ginny heard the front door shutting again.




++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++





Ginny got up and said," I didn't expect the matter to go so far.That brother of mine doesn't have anything in his brain.So, Harry what do we do now?"

Harry said ," I don't know , I feel we shouldn't have interfered .It looks as if we have made matters worse.I fell so disappointed at Ron,I had thought he would be warm and comforting .But it turned out wrong .I guess all we can do now is to wait and watch."

"Why did we make that stupid plan?We thought it would be perfect to tease the Twins who would surely retaliate.Then Ron might go and comfort Hermione and all would be well.Now all I feel is deep REGRET and GUILT...."Ginny stopped suddenly.

Harry wanting to soothe her said,"But we didn't think the twins would do something like this. They not only messed your room but your hair as well.I am sorry about it.I made you join me and now you are sharing the guilt."

Ginny interupted,"come on Harry, you don't have anything to be sorry .It was my choice, you didn't force me. Besides it was me, who made up the bit about teasing the twins. You just had to play along by asking Ron questions, bringing him here and all that.It's not your fault it didn't work it's my part which failed."

Harry trying his best to wash away the gulity feeling in Ginny answered," Ginny ,we both tried our best but the words Ron used were so unexpected.We did what we could.Didn't we?"

After checking her reaction ,he continued"Didn't we wake up early before the others to draft this plan?Didn't you dare the Twins to test their latest invention 'the time bomb'?Didn't we both go back to bed so that they have no suspicion about us?Didn't I pretend not to her the sound in your room? then later play along with Ron asking him what all the commotion was about? Didn't you drop something in the attic as soon as you realised we were to go down to the kitchen?"Harry stopped to take a breath.He saw Ginny had relaxed but was looking at him strangely.

"I believe you are right but don't try to deny we both are disappointed .It was supposed to be an ingenius foolproof plan but it turned out to be the opposite.We should have calculated Ron's behaviour before implementing our plan..Oh! Harry there's no use I ...I..this time she broke into tears.

Harry knew he had to comfort her .He wanted to say something but as you know actions convey more.He sat next to her and hugged her.He himself was surprised how naturally it came to him.It was as if she was someone he had known all along.It struck him with the speed of a firebolt that maybe like Ron he also had overlooked a person near him.

Ginny was shocked and she did blush to a shade of darkest red .Was it really Harry hugging her or was this a dream?She pinched herself and realised it wasn't a dream and she was conscious.Though it looked odd , it didn't seem odd.She slowly regained her composture but by then Harry withdrew.

"I ...I..am sorry.I didn't know what came over me.I never...never meant it to happen ." Harry said as he backed off .

Ginny got up.For the first time she looked into his eyes and said,"It's alright Harry. Nothing happened .I'll have forgotten all about it .So then it's O.k !!"
Ginny grinned like an imp and held out her hand and said ,"Harry .....friends?"

Harry grinned ,"Yes friends!"They both shook their hand to lighten the tension and laughed at their formal attitude .

She slowly went past him to the door.Before leaving she added shyly,"Harry don't forget whatever happens you must share with me your joy, sorrow,everything ...just like a good.... FREIND !"She shut the door behind her .

As soon as she was out of ear shot ,she whispered to herself, " Harry I am sorry but I'll never forget that hug .It might be the first and last I ever get from you so I'll cherish it forever!"



++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++




As Harry went downstairs ,he thought of how the events had changed during the day.Did he have some sort of a feeling for Ginny not the usual brotherly feeling but something more?Was he also blind like his friend?Now thinking of friend ,Where is Ron and Hermione?What has happened or is happening?




Suddenly he remembered a muggle phrase,"Whatever has to happen will happen ,
nothing will stay or hold back in its way, but while it's happening believe that it's happening surely for the BEST!!! "


A.N: Hope you enjoyed reading my ff. Anyway I enjoyed writing it.I might update this weekend because nowadays I am really busy at school.It's all daily tests and revision for the final exams in march.But you can't be sure since I have already finished the next Chapter may be I'll find some time to post it soon.

Not to forget those who reviewed .I just want to thank you all from the bottom of my heart.You all really motivate me to write more.

Your words are really encouraging!Thanks a lot for reviewing again :-) ]

[Writer007-Thanks a lot for your review.I totally agree with you that there is nothing in Harry Potter to demote Christianity or any other religion .
I myself is a christian and I am sure I wouldn't read or write something which is against my beliefs.Another fact is that according to me, christianity is not just going to church and saying long prayers or paying large sums of money to the poor but the simple fact that you love God and you are willing to share your joy and whatever you have with another .In short,all that matters is loving other human beings! Please forgive me if I hurt any one's sentiments.But I am sure you agree with me.Don't you? Thanks for your lovely review which conveys how open minded and frank you are:-) ]

[Megan-Nice name!Thaks for reviewing again.I'll update soon .Nice to know you liked the story.You are sooo encouraging :-)]

[Lou- Thanks for that small criticism.I had noticed it earlier .But it is really my shortcoming to write long sentences.It always comes like that.Even sometimes my teacher says that I need to concentrate reducing the length of sentences.In this chapter I tried as much as I could to reduce long sentences.It may not happen fast but I'll try shortening my sentences.Anways thanks a lot for reading the chapters,enjoying them and for reveiwing back : - ) ]


[Selina-Surely I'll write more.Thanks for the reveiw and the request :=) ]
