Ron: Redemption, Hermione: Regret

Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter. I only own the plotlines and made up things (characters, candy, books etc).

Hey everybody sorry about the late fic! My asshole of a computer just replaced my Chapter 3 with a blank page.

Here it is...R&R! does that mean Read & Review?

If it does, REVIEW!

Oh yeah. The mystery girl has waist length blonde hair, black eyes earrings and a cute face! Sorry about the typo.

'Susan,' said McGonagall. 'Her name's Susan, she still has man issues.'

'Good to meet you,' replied Ron.

'I expect you to show her around the school and Hogsmeade village properly, Mr.Weasley; I will be in my office preparing for my next class. And oh, I forgot, Mr.Weasley, you are excused from classes for the rest of the week. Good day to you both.'

Susan looked scared, clinging onto McGonagall's robes.

'Not to worry Susan, Ronald is a good person.' To that she left the room.

There was an awkward silence. I wonder what Hermione's doing right now, thought Ron, "NO, NO!" he said to himself, I will forget about her for good! His train of thought was interrupted.

'Em,' asked Susan grasping on a chair, afraid. 'Ronald?'

'Oh, yeah, sorry to make you nervous,' said Ron turning into deeper and deeper shades or red. 'I was thinking about. Sorry Susan, I shouldn't burden you like this. Let's go outside, ok? I'll show you around the school.'

Ron opened the door and walked out, but Susan waited until he was halfway through the hallway before going out herself. Hmm, thought Ron, guess she really doesn't trust men at all, oh well, at least I get the whole week off.

'Let's go.I'll show you the Great Hall, I'm starving!'

To this Ron could see a faint smile over Susan's face on the other side of the hallway.

:~Later that day~:

'Hi, honey,' called Harry as he kissed a girl on the cheek.

'Oh, hi,' Hermione was having second doubts about her relationship with Harry. Of course he was nice, but. . .

'Mione, are you ok? I got something for you,' he took out a box of chocolate frogs that had moving pictures of himself inside. 'Wow, Harry, this is so sweet,' but the glum in her face didn't disappear.

'Mione, are you sure. . .'

'YES!' Yelled Hermione as she pushed Harry and dropped the box of chocolates. She started running toward the library.

'Hi Harry,' said a voice behind him.

'Oh, hi Cho.' said Harry.

*Meanwhile*

'So that's, oh bloody hell, are you still afraid?' Susan shyly looked at the ground, she was still afraid of men (Ron). 'Well anyway, this is the library, everything you need is here.' Ron paused, he thought about Hermione, but he killed the thought. 'So, Susan, McGonagall tells me that you were placed in Gryffindor, good for you. Well I guess I'll show you the. . .' He was interrupted by Malfoy.

'Oh, hey ferret,' grinned Ron.

'Shut it Weasley,' replied Malfoy glaring, but he caught a glimpse of Susan. 'Why, hello beautiful, my name is Draco Malfoy, the richest wizard alive,' he took out his hand, but Susan shook her head. 'Humph! I guess you're just as bad as weasel here.'

'Back off Malfoy,' said Ron, griping on his wand.

'What are you going to do, weasel,' Retorted Malfoy with a grotesque grin on his face. 'Curse me?'

'No, you'll pay,' whispered Ron. 'Adse. . .' Malfoy was to fast for him.

'Experillum!' Yelled Malfoy and Ron's wand flew away down the stairs. Just then, Ron ran over to Malfoy and punched him in the face and kneed him in the stomach. Malfoy got up and screamed. 'You'll pay Weasley!' And he mumbled a spell and ran away. The spell hit Ron and he flew back down the stairs.

Susan had a look of shock and ran down the stairs following Ron. She held his head on her lap and opened her mouth and quickly closed it.

'I'm ok,' said Ron. 'I've been through worse than this. Anyway, are you ok?' Asked Ron, he was looking at her eyes. Susan nodded and as he got up, she backed up onto a wall, scared.

'Memories,' asked Ron. 'Memories of your past?'

Susan nodded.

'Sorry, Susan,' he saw tears coming out of Susan's eyes. 'Oh, no,' he walked towards Susan but she only gasped and ran to a classroom door. Ron sighed and started walking to the door. 'C'mon, I'll show you to the Gryffindor Room.' And she followed, but twenty feet away.

*knock* *knock*

It was morning, and Ron heard knocks on his door. He got up, put on his shirt and opened the door. It was Hermione.

'Oh, he's still asleep,' said Ron flatly.

'Oh, Ron, I wanted to talk to you, about. . .' She was soon interrupted.

'What do you want? I want my sleep; it's six in the morning.' He yelled.

Hermione was on the verge of tears. 'Fine,' now tears were on her cheeks, she started stuttering 'T-this girl, s-she moved in the dorm beside m-mine, and she a-asked me where Ronald W-w-weasley is, so I brought her h-here, bye,' and she ran down the dormitory stairs. As she left Ron saw a girl standing against the wall, I was Susan.

'Oh hi Susan,' he said embarrassed, he wasn't proud of what he did to Hermione, but it felt good. 'Professor McGonagall told me to take you to see Hogsmeade today. C'mon, let's go.' Susan looked sad; she was all dressed up in a beautiful strait black robe and a heavy cloak.

'Boy you don't waste time do you?' He said smiling.

Susan smiled.
