Chapter 8: Ron Shares the News
It was 10:00 AM when Harry, Hermione, and Ron entered the Great Hall for breakfast. They sat down in their normal spots at the Gryffindor table, and began to chat with one another.
"Ron, why won't you tell us what's bothering you?" Hermione asked.
"Yea, come on, Ron," Harry chimed in.
"You want to know what happened? You really want to know?"
"Yes," said Harry and Hermione in unision.
"Grrr. Fine! I caught MALFOY kissing Ginny! That stupid git (hehe, I like that word...) kissed my sister!"
"WHAT?! ARE YOU SERIOUS?!" Harry yelled in a very angry tone. All the students in the Hall turned to look at him, and he blushed a little bit, but didn't really mind.
"It's not the worst thing in the world, you guys. It's just Malfoy and Ginny... no big deal!" Hermione said calmly.
Ron and Harry glared at her as if she were out of her mind.
"Are you kidding?" Ron asked shocked.
"You guys look at me like I'm off my rocker! When it's really you two who are clueless!" Hermione turned to Ron and said, "You should be happy for your little sister, you shouldn't be mad at her!"
"I'm not mad at HER, I'm mad at HIM!" Ron yelled.
"You shouldn't treat her like a little kid, she's old enough to take care of herself! She can make whatever decisions she likes, and kiss who ever she wants!" Hermione scolded Ron.
"Whatever," Ron said in an exasperated tone. "It's still Malfoy."
"And you," she turned to Harry, "don't act so surprised. She's not going to stay obsessed over you forever, and she hasn't liked you in that way for a few years now, so get off it."
"Why are you so calm?! Do you like Malfoy or something?!" Harry asked Hermione curiously.
"I'm not calm! It's not like I love the idea of seeing, or picturing, Ginny and Malfoy together! It makes me sick, to be honest, but she can do whatever she wants to do." Hermione replied.
"Not only did he kiss Ginny, but I... I almost killed him, too!" Ron said a little ashamed.
Harry and Hermione started laughing at his sarcastic comment.
"I'm not being funny, I'm serious!"
Harry and Hermione stopped laughing and looked at Ron with an 'explain yourself' look on their faces.
Ron whispered in a voice that no one except for Harry and Hermione could hear, "Well, when I walked into the library to find Ginny and tell her that you found your wand, and that she didn't need to look anymore, I saw them kissing in the corner behind a bookshelf. I was shocked, but I was so angry, that I pulled out my wand, pointed it at Malfoy, and yelled 'Avada Kedav,' but I got cut off my Ginny's quick reflexes. After I realized what I had said, I felt so guilty, and Ginny's yelling at me didn't make me feel the least bit better. She was humiliating me infront of Malfoy, who was also quite shocked as to what almost happened. Malfoy, of all people!"
Harry and Hermione were staring at Ron open mouthed. They had been staring at him shocked ever since he had said that he almost put the killing curse on Malfoy, but didn't get the chance to complete it.
Hermione snapped out of her shock before Harry, and yelled, "ARE YOU CRAZY?! WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?! DO YOU KNOW WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED?!" Everyone in the Great Hall were now staring at the three Gryffindors.
"Oh shut up 'Mione! You sound just like Ginny!" Ron said in a hushed whisper.
Harry snapped out of his trance soon afterward, still shocked, but said, "Wow."
"You guys WANTED to know what was wrong, so I told you, and now you are all mad at me!" Ron said disappointedly.
"Yea, but we didn't think it was something so, so..." Harry said, trying to find the right word.
"Unexpected and uncalled for!" Hermione finished for him.
"Exactly," Harry said.
"Thank you all SO much! I feel absolutely WONDERFUL! Your advice and reactions to the news make me feel SO much better!" he said sarcastically.
Harry and Hermione rolled their eyes, and Hermione said, "serves you right."
"Whatever," Ron said annoyed.
They ate in silence for ten minutes until Hermione said, "I'm sorry for blowing up at you like that."
"Me, too," said Harry.
Ron sighed and said, "It's ok."
They talked about the situation, and decided that they should be happy for Ginny, and try to be nicer to Malfoy.
When the entrance doors to the Great Hall opened five minutes later, their moods totally changed.
