Hi everyone! This is my 8th chapter; it's kind of fluffy but not too much. I really don't know how many chapters this story will have, actually, I'm beginning to notice the characters are the ones telling me what I have to do with them, instead of being me the one who decides their future. Weird, huh? What I mean is I don't know if this story will end up being very fluffy, humorous, angsty, or just romantic. I'm even thinking of a scene where the guys are a little drunk, but I'm not quite sure yet. Please review and tell me what you think, k?? Chapter 9 will be up in a week or so.
So this is chapter 8, enjoy!!
Hermione Weasley
TRIP TO PARADISE
Chapter 8: Great sicknesses and delicious wounds
"Wha- What happened?"- Lavender said, shocked.
"Well, Josh and I were talking when all of a sudden Ginny just like, fainted or something, I don't know. I hope she's alright."- Hermione said
"And where is she?- Parvati asked
"Harry took her back to the hotel. Do you think we should-"- Hermione didn't finish. "Where's Ginny? Is she ok?"- Josh asked, apparently worried. "Oh, Harry has just left with her, he thought she needed some cool air, but if she doesn't get better, he'll have to take her to the medical wing."- Hermione told him.
"Well, I really hope she gets better. It must be the weather, it's specially hot today. Give her some coconut nectar and she'll be up in a second. Anyway, I have to leave. Do you think we can see each other later, at the hotel, at about, 8?- Josh asked with a warm, inviting smile.
"Yeah, sure, at 8. See you then"- Hermione said, a hint of nervousness in her voice.
"Bye then, girl"
"Bye"
"As if any girl could resist that smile"- Parvati said after Josh left.
"Ginny? Gin? Are you ok??"- Harry said, his bright green eyes mirroring how upset he was. They were still walking towards Harry's room.
Ginny tried hard not to blush. Was Harry Potter worried? About her? That couldn't be. That just couldn't be. She tried to relish the moment, but she couldn't. She didn't want to upset anyone, and Harry above them all. So she slightly opened her eyes, checking nobody was there but him. He sat on the end of the bed, laying her head in his lap and her body resting on the bed. Though Harry tried hard not to think of it, Ginny was only wearing a bikini, so he took one side of the quilt and covered her lower body.
"Hi Harry"- Ginny said smiling sheepishly.
"Ginny? What happens, are you alright?"- Harry said confused, the cascade of wavy red hair still in his lap.
"Mmm, how to explain this, without you thinking I'm crazy?"- Ginny said, getting up, then sitting next to him.
"I don't have a clue of what you're saying, really."- Harry said puzzled.
"Well, I, I, look. I was talking with this guy Ben, a deeply boring conversation, really, when I heard Josh talking with Ryan, another guy of the team. He was going to invite Hermione to the Blue Bay tomorrow night! Of course she would say yes, I mean, we all know Ron is dying to go with her, but if he doesn't get his head out of his…, Hermione is a beautiful girl, she's not going to wait a lifetime for Ron to decide, well, anyway, I had to do something, imagine Hermione dancing with Josh all night long, so, well , the point is: I pretended to be sick, I didn't really faint, it was all a joke. Sorry for making you and the guys worried, Harry, but at least it worked. Ron will thank me later , you'll see. So, what do you think? You haven't said a word."- Ginny said, finishing her top-speed speech.
"All I can say is you were right all along. See, Ron would kill to go with Hermione to the club, but courage has failed him a little, I can't picture Hermione dancing with Josh without Ron dying of jealousy either, Hermione is pretty and is not going to wait for Ron to put himself together, and you did scare the hell out of us. And of me."- He said, looking directly to her eyes.
"I mean, what would I do without my dance partner tomorrow night?"- he added smiling.
"That's right"- she said smiling, too- "You would miss my dancing marathon. So, do you think we should wait for them here, or go to the beach?"
"They must be on their way now. I asked Ron to bring my things up here while I took you to somewhere fresh, or maybe to the infirmary, but I don't think that'll be necessary now, do you? By the way, have you ever considered a job as an actress?"
"Patil, come over here right now!"- Seamus said trying to sound serious but obviously joking. He grabbed her from her waist and kissed her to her clear enjoyment.
"Guys I think I'm leaving. I want to see how Ginny is. You can catch me up later, if you want."- Ron said, relieved after seeing Josh go away with his friends.
"Wait, I'll go with you. After all, I need to see Ginny, ask her what happened; one minute she was there, the other she was laying on the sand. Anyone coming?" - Hermione asked, but didn't get an answer back, because some had started speaking.
"Oh how lovely! We have the complete lot of silly gryffindors here. See, there's the weasel, and his eternal shadow the mudblood. And where's Mr. Celebrity?"- said a voice that could be no other than Draco Malfoy's., who was accompanied as always by Crabbe and Goyle.
Ron stared at him with rage; it was just a matter of seconds before they started to punch each other as always. Dean grabbed hold of Ron's arms to prevent him to hit Malfoy.
"And Granger, you surprise me, being a mudblood, a gryffindor, and a big time know-it-all, you look totally delicious today!"- he finished with a smile, but in a tone that suggested he really meant what he said. Malfoy looked from side to side, from Hermione, who was trying to ignore him, but was deeply embarrassed, to Ron who was furious, this had been too much.
"This is enough"- Ron said, setting free from Dean's hold.
"Ouch"- Lavender said. Ron had just punched Malfoy's nose. Blood was running freely down his face. Crabbe and Goyle stared at them, both wearing their stupid what-are-we-supposed-to-do-now faces. By that time Seamus, Dean and Neville had finally stopped them and the three Slytherins left with a very fake kind of laugh, one of them with a bloodying nose and a black eye.
"That son of a..."
"Ron!"- Hermione interrupted him. "Are you ok?"
Ron's upper lip had a wound, his right cheek was beginning to swell, but he seemed to be alright after all. He was laying on the sand; Hermione kneeled next to him, and the other guys looking at them from above.
"Hey, guys"- Lavender said in a whisper. Then she motioned them to leave Ron and Hermione alone.
"Ron, you could have hurt yourself, you know? I mean, more than you already have."- Hermione tried to sound reprimanding, but deep inside she knew Malfoy had gone too far.
"He deserved it this time and you know that, Hermione. He said you were- you looked-"- Ron said like if he had read Hermione's thoughts.
"I know what he said Ron. He's such a- Oh how I hate him! Anyway, thanks for, you know, defending me, you shouldn't have bothered, really."
"Anytime, 'Mione. Ouch! This hurts a hell!"- Ron said, touching the wound on his lip.
"Hey! Don't touch it; you're going to infect it! Wait a second."- She said, looking for something in her bag which was by her side. "You'll have to clean this right now if you don't want it infected." -She took her towel and soaked a part of it with her bottled water, then she started cleaning Ron's cut gently.
"Watch it!"- Ron shouted, trying not to sound mean or something, after all, she was only trying to help.
"For one moment in your life, will you shut up Ron?"
"I liked best the caring Hermione, bring her back right now!"- Ron said making a pout that Hermione found very funny and started laughing.
"She's left and is not coming back. Say hi to the brand-new hysterical Hermione, now will you shut up?"- she finished, both of them still laughing; Ron rolling on the floor like a kid to avoid Hermione's damp towel on his lip both completely oblivious to their friends stares.
"Wow! They are not fighting! They're actually playing! Is that a good or a bad sign?"- Neville said surprised, after all, being a Gryffindor meant listening to Ron and Hermione's endless fights.
"I don't know, but I bet 5 galleons that they end up tying the knot at the end of this trip"- Dean said
"That, if Josh doesn't get in the way."- Lavender said.
"We HAVE to get the 2 of them together, but how are we going to get rid of Josh? She's picking her up at 8."- Parvati said.
"Leave that to us"- Seamus said, exchanging a naughty look with Dean and Neville.
