Hello Readers! This chapter is fun, especially the parts where I make fun of Rowling's characters, which because of me are oblivious, or downright idiotic, at least in my story, Thank you to all who have reviewed and to my beta, Alex, aka shdurrani, check out his stories, and Ryoko Blue's (She's in my fave author list, and most of her stories are on portkey.org.)if you want some good ol' Ron bashing, which is fun to read.

Sixth Year-Chapter Ten

Common Room, day before term starts, Harry and Hermione are sitting in the common room, studying, waiting for Ron and the rest to come back.

Later after many others, Ron came through the portrait hole.

"Hi, Harry, Hermione, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you," and he tackled the duo into a hug.

"Will you tell us, now?" they asked together.

"Tell you about what?"

"Who's your girlfriend?" asked Hermione.

"Promise you won't get mad?"

"I'd only get mad if you were dating Malfoy," Harry joked.

"I'm not, but she is a Slytherin."

"Who, please not Pansy?" Hermione pleaded.

"Never, who would want that hore?" Harry coughed what sounded like, "Draco Malfoy," and Ron continued, "Blaise Zabini."

"She's in our Potions class, hasn't said a word to us in our over five years here." Hermione said.

"How'd you get her to talk?" asked Harry.

"We're in Muggle Studies together, she's my partner, being the other sixth year in the class."

"A Slytherin in Muggle Studies! Never thought I'd see the day," commented Hermione.

"You guy's aren't mad?"

"Why should we be?" asked Harry.

"Your Gryfindors, We're Gryfindors, we're supposed to hate them."

"You don't, why should we?" asked Hermione.

"I hate some, I'm glad your not mad, 'Mione, what about you, Harry?"

"Neither of you realize how close to being a Slytherin, I was, do you?"

"What are you talking about Harry?" asked Hermione.

"Yeah, what mate?" asked Ron.

"I never told you guy's this, because I didn't want you to abandon me."

"What are you talking about?" they both asked.

"The Sorting Hat wanted to put me in Slytherin," Harry said, practically whispering.

"Your kidding, right?" Ron asked.

"Harry, your like the perfect Gryfindor," Hermione added.

"Im a parcelmouth."

"Who cares, old news, your my best friend, nothings going to change that," Hermione reassured.

"She's right, mate," Ron added.

"I can't believe the hat wanted to put you in Slytherin, I understand it wanting to put me in Ravenclaw, but you, that's insane."

"That would be like putting me in Ravenclaw," Ron stated.

"Are you insulting yourself, Ron?" asked Hermione.

"Yeah, I guess I am."

"Wow, never thought I'd see the day, Ron insulted his own intelligence," Harry commented, the trio then burst into laughter.

"Could you imagine, if we were in different houses?" asked Ron, once the laughter subsided.

"It'd be terrible, I like some of the Ravenclaws, but there too boring," Hermione says.

"I'd be tortured by Snape, A Slytherin Potter, What would Sirius have said, or Moony? I'd be in the same house as Ol' Voldie! Plus I'd already went against Malfoy, before school started, it'd be torture, with blokes like Crabbe and Goyle, always around."

"Can you imagine, the savior of the wizarding world, a Slytherin?" Ron asked.

While Harry muttered, "Or destroyer."

"What?" asked Ron.

"He didn't say anything," Hermione said quickly.

"Yeah, I think he did."

"No Ron, he didn't say anything," Hermione said once again.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes," both shouted at Ron.

"Well, see you guys then, I'm going to see if Blaise is around, see you."

"See you, Ron," they called back.

"Can you believe it, A Weasley dating a... "

Ginny burst through the portrait hole, halfway through Harry's sentence.

"A Weasley dating a what, A muggleborn? Sorry to burst your bubble, but your a halfblood and she's a muugleborn, so shut up!"

"Ginny, calm down, Harry was talking about Ron, not you," Hermione explained.

"Who's Ron dating, why didn't I know about this?"

"We didn't even know who she was, until a few minutes ago," Harry explained.

"Tell me who my brother's dating, is this why he hasn't been harrassing Dean?" The red head demanded.

"We can't tell you who," Hermione answered.

"How long hasn't he been harrassing Dean?" asked Harry.

"O, let me think, end of September, early October."

"Do you now see why?" asked Hermione.

"He got a girlfriend! Why didn't he or she tell anyone?"

"You'll find out very soon why, I would guess," Harry answered.

"Harry, what would you do if some guy hurt me or Hermione?" Ginny asked out of the blue.

"I'd hurt him, but if your brothers got there first, he'd already be dead. And if any guy hurt Hermione, he'd be dead, as quick as you could say Quidditich," Harry answered.

"Neither of you guys realize, do you?"

"What are you talking about Ginny? Really Harry?" asked Hermione.

"Yeah."

"Nothing, you two are so oblivious, I'm going to go find Dean, bye," and Ginny was gone.

"What the hell was that?" asked Harry.

"What was she talking about? Why are we oblivious?" Hermione wondered.

"I have no idea, do you?" asked Harry.

"Nope, nothing."

A few months have passed, Ron and Blaise are still together, she's become basically the unofficial fourth member of the trio, Harry and Hermione accepting her with open arms. Most of the school was more skeptical or downright shocked about a Gryfindor and Slytherin dating.

The Slytherins publicaly shunned the relationship, though some accepted it in private. The Gryfindors respected Ron or more like his family (and Harry) and publicly accepted it, some however hated the idea in private, but Ron had a big thing going for him, Harry accepted the relationship, Hey his fame did something good for once it seems, because of Harry's acceptance, others took his lead to not shun the couple.

After spending much time with Ron, Harry and Hermione, and becoming friends with the duo, she put the pieces together like so many before her, and asked Ron about the oblivious but obvious duo, Harry and Hermione.

"Ron?" she asked one day, when he was walking her back to the Slytherin common room.

"Yes, love?"

"Why aren't Harry and Hermione, together?"

"That's a very good question, that many have asked and tried to answer, and I think I've finally figured it out, and it's probably the most obvious answer."

"Then what do you think it is?"

"Do you remember that Cedric Diggory was murdered our fourth year?"

"Yes, Harry came back with his body, and said You-Know-Who is back."

"Exactly and Cedric had been dating Cho Chang, who was seemingly devastated by the loss."

"Yeah."

"I think that Harry knows if he gets involved with anyone You-Know-Who might use her against him, as a pawn to lure in Harry, then murder, or if Harry doesn't make it, he doesn't want to leave a heartbroken witch, he doesn't want to hurt anyone but You-Know-Who, who I think he has to anyway, probably to save us all, including your 'wonderful' house mates."

"I think your right, Ron, Harry just doesn't want ti hurt the people he loves the most."

"Exactly, good night Blaise."

"Good night, Ron." After a good night kiss, she said the password and went into Slytherin and Ron made his way back to Gryfindor.

It seemed to Ron that everyone knew about his two friends, but his two friends, will that ever change, will anything ever happen with them? Tehn the answer clicked in his head: Only if You-Know-Who is defeated will either make a move, is the way it seemed to be, and probably will be till that hopefully wonderful day, or it could be the end of the world as we know it, the end of the light and beginning of a new dark world.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Isn't this just so much fun? I personally loved the part with Ginny and the part we're Ron's making fun of himself, If you like Ginny, that's probably the biggest part she'll get in the story, sorry. Review. Please Please. Next up Voldemort!

Oh yeah, any Blind Date readers, it is coming, I'm probably going to wrap it up, but I have an idea for a funny spin off of something that I said happens in that story, it involves Draco, any ideas of what I'm talking about? heehee.
