Ginny awoke the next day without a thought about the previous night. The event and the words did not even come into her head until she saw the "trio" at breakfast.
Ron and Harry sat next to each other talking, while Hermione was on the other side of the table talking to Neville Longbottom. Ron had his back to Ginny, as did Hermoine. Harry, on the other hand had a full view of whoever came into the great hall.
And that whoever just happened to be Ginny Weasley. When she came in, Ron must have said something particularly funny, because Harry threw back his head and laughed-until he saw Ginny, that is. He was silenced in mid ha.
Ginny and Harry's eyes met for a few moments. Ron didn't notice--he was too busy laughing, but Hermoine saw Harry's expression, and she turned around to see what he was looking at. She gasped.
Ron heard her gasp. "What...is it....Hermoine?" He said between snickers; he hadn't noticed that Harry had stopped laughing.
Harry broke the gaze between him and Ginny. He looked over at Hermoine and realised she knew. "It's nothing, Hermoine. Right?" Harry said, looking at Hermoine.
"R...right," Hermoine replied, releasing her gaze from Ginny, but still very much in shock.
Ginny sat down next to a group of sixth year girls at the end of the Gryffindor table. Hermoine went silent, and Neville felt very awkward at not knowing what was going on. Little did he know, Ron was in the same corner of darkness.
"What was that all about?" Ron asked. He had had his back to the Great Hall's entrance and had not seen his sister enter.
Hermoine answered with a blank gaze at him, then at Harry.
"Indigestion," Harry answered after a few seconds.
"Right..." Hermoine stuttered. "In...indigestion..." She was silent for a while, then said, "Umm...Harry, can we talk?...Alone?"
"Later, Hermoine. I have to finish my Potions homework. Later..." He got up without finishing his breakfast and walked out of the Great Hall, leaving Hermoine to cope with Ron and Neville's confusion.
"Hermoine," Ron said, "What was that all about--"
"Nothing," Hermoine inturrupted. "Nothing...yet..." She too got up and left the Great Hall without another word.
Ron and Neville looked at each other, each confused and baffled in their own way.
A/N: Sorry the chapters are so short. I'm sure some people are used to long chapters, but I find it more enjoyable when the chapters aren't overwhelmingly long...but this is short, I know. Thanks everyone for the reviews and encouragement. Don't worry, I will write more soon!
