Chapter 8: An Empty Kind Of Hate, Superiority Complex, and Rage
Ron sat there, staring at his two best friends as the news they brought sunk in. It was too much for him, so he did the first thing he could think of. Deny it. "That can't be true! Ginny would never do that!" After all, this was his baby sister. She was frightening, but this...Yet, he looked at the faces of Hermione and Harry and slowly, oh so very slowly, he calmed down. His shoulders sagged and all the angry light went out of his eyes. "Are you sure?" he asked tentatively.
If it had been anyone else, anyone who was not in his family, he would've gone and throttled them. Hell, if it had been even (Maybe) Fred or George he would've throttled them. Or tried to. Whatever. But Ginny... Ginny was his baby sister... An empty kind of hate settled in Ron, the type where one is more in shock, and aware that they should hate someone but don't, not really...an empty kind of hate. It takes something out of a person. It's empty, and nature abhors a vacuum, no? So it draws in all the bearer's feelings, until they are consumed by this empty kind of hate. Gradually growing unaware of his surroundings, Ron stared at Harry and Hermione.
Ah, an empty kind of hate. Perhaps you have heard of it.
Depression.
---------
The two were slightly shocked by their friends reaction...At first he had vehemently denied it, but Harry and Hermione had had not said a word and they had watched as slowly Ron had deflated. Now the poor boy was looking past deflated. Like he was trying to collapse in on himself. Hermione was honestly scared. Ron was loud, impetuous, rash, stupidly loyal and brave...Hermione shook herself. "Hey, Ron?"
Ron shook himself out of his stupor and his eyes cleared and focused on Hermione. She was much relieved. "Oh. Sorry. Just...Surprised. Wouldn't have thought it of Ginny."
"No, I wouldn't either."
Hermione felt the anger seeping out of her as she sat in this pale room. Why wasn't she angry? She had every right to be angry. Yes. There it was. A reassuring flame that gave backing to what she said to Ginny, to not giving Ginny a chance. Hermione's chin lifted almost imperceptibly. She didn't deserve one.
No, not that little slut.
---------
Harry had always thought that there would be no one at Hogwarts that he hated as much as either Snape or Malfoy.
But he was wrong. Ginny Weasley now ranked up there with Dudley, Malfoy and Snape. A slightly more rational part of him knew he didn't hate her as much as he hated Wormtail or Voldemort, but rational was not what Harry was being right now.
Harry was known for his level head, but to betray his friends, (Just like Wormtail, he couldn't help thinking) was something that made him see red.
Ginny Weasley. For goodness sake, she was the sister of his best friend! And she was (almost, discounting Malfoy...Nevermind, she was lower...to give herself out like that...he stopped his mind there) the lowest dirtiest scum of the earth.
He hated her. With a mind-blowing, all-encompassing, consuming rage.
Which of course, is not very healthy.
A/N: Sorry this is so short, but it's a transition chapter. I can't wait to get the next chapter up, fun fun fun! Also my family went on ANOTHER vacation (For a week!) and that's why this is so late. My sincere apologies. In accordance with that and this chapter's briefness I am only demanding 5 reviews, as much as that rankles me to do so... I think I owe it to you. *sigh* But I really enjoy the next chapter (evil, evil little me) it signifies the beginning of the plot I thought this story wasn't going to have! Yes, ladies and gentlemen, it all begins with Ginny's REVENGE...
Also, I'm working on about 5 stories right now, not including this one. I try to get chapters written before I have to put them up, but that may not be possible for a while. I'm going to keep trying though!
Here's to the people who reviewed!:
Stacey - 10 sickles to you for being first! Yeah, since I haven't decided which way to go yet, you don't really see either happening...
Krissy - Here it is, and I'm sorry I took so long!
minerva - Thank you! I'm so glad you love Evil Ginny, so do I! Oh, and thanks for the suggestion ever so much, it got me over writer's block! Oh, you'll love how Ginny gets back at Malfoy it's delicious. Though it does have some consequences...Oh, 10 galleons to you for longest review and being my Muse!
Dobby@Winky - You're up there too on my loyal reviewers list, I love you muches! Isn't Malfoy great?
Dementia - Draco isn't very nice, non? But he's just so cute! *shivers*
NeTtEy PottEr - Yeah, Harry's gone a little off his rocker, eh? Bet Ron's reaction wasn't what you expected...tell you the truth, I didn't expect that either! It just happened. Thank you so much!
O.o Cassia o.O - I know, isn't it sad? Poor Ginny! Bad Malfoy! Here it is!
JennyT - Thank you, and I got your vote!
Macabre - Very good use of your galleons! You're still my most loyal reviewer, but I think I'm going broke. Ah who cares...20 more galleons! No, that's not what happens, but that would be fun, no?
Lulu - Oh, I am evil, and you should love what she does! It's ingenious! (At least, III think so...)
hAvEAjOllYkwAnzAA - I'm glad you think it's funny! And yes, that's what Hermione said!
~*tiNkERbeLl*~ - Got it! Very well, madame or mademoiselle or something...*trails off*
The count is Draco/Ginny: 18 Harry/Ginny: 8! Come on H/G, you only have a couple more chapters to vote!
AND IF YOU DIDN'T READ THE A/N, 5 REVIEWS OR NO NEXT CHAPTER!!!
