Telling Ron
Chapter Six: Zero For Two
Author's Note: Yay! Over thirty-three reviews! You have no idea how happy that makes me! It also inspires me to write more. I'm constantly thinking about what to write next! I mean I have a general idea, but I think of new ideas and specific details. Again, thanks for all the reviews!!! Ok, here's Harry and Ginny's time without R&H in the Great Hall and after.
Harry followed Ginny out of the portrait hole after Ron and Hermione went to change. Ginny walked along with a huge grin on her face and Harry wondered what it was about. He came next to her and smiled.
"What's the grin for?"
"Oh I'm just happy that they finally got together. Ron talks about her when she isn't around and you could just tell Hermione liked him. I don't know why but, whatever, it's her choice." Harry laughed. "I suppose some people are just weird." Ginny giggled with him as they entered the Great Hall.
Ginny sat across from Harry, pulling a plate of eggs towards her. Harry took a piece of toast and noticed Parvati and Lavender walking around the hall. They would bend over and talk to someone very happily. The person would gasp or smile and turn to look at the Gryffindor table. The girls would shake their heads and point to the ceiling, then move to another person.
"What are they doing?" Harry asked Ginny with his eyebrow raised. She turned her head and saw what he was looking at. She stared a bit then turned back and shrugged. She leaned over and asked Neville what was going on.
"Oh they're just spreading the news about Ron and Hermione."
"Spreading the news? You mean they're telling everyone? Oh Ron and Hermione aren't going to like this," Harry said, shaking his head. Parvati and Lavender walked toward the table, looking quite proud of themselves.
"What do you two think you're doing?"
"Oh don't worry Harry, we just wanted to let everyone know about Hogwart's Hot New Couple," Parvati answered. Harry choked on the piece of bacon he had been swallowing and Ginny burst out laughing. Seamus whacked Harry on the back and he sputtered, "Hot New Couple? Ron and Hermione? Oh Merlin...." Ginny was laughing like a mad woman.
"My brother....Hot New Couple....that's the funniest....thing....I've ever...heard!" Ginny leaned over the table, gasping for breath as she continued to laugh. Harry snorted at Ginny's behavior. He liked how she laughed; it was nice and amusing. Minutes later, she sat up, tears running down her cheeks. Her face was completely red. "I can't wait to tell the twins! It'll be hilarious!" Harry laughed.
"Maybe you shouldn't mention it yet. Ron and Hermione are going to be embarrassed enough with all of Hogwarts knowing. I don't think they can handle your family as well at the moment. Ginny nodded, taking deep breaths to steady herself.
Soon after, the 'Hot New Couple' entered the hall. Many people looked at them and Hermione blushed as Ron's eyes widened. He pulled Hermione over to the table, sitting down quickly. Harry and Ginny choked back their laughter. Hermione complained about Ron's roughness.
"Sorry but I was a bit....embarrassed with all that attention. It was rather frightening." Hermione agreed and asked Harry if many people knew. He knew the answer and told her the truth. Harry saw the worry in her eyes go away after a bit.
As Harry ate breakfast, he began to think about life. He thought about Sirius, his two best friends and their new relationship, Voldemort, and...Ginny. Ginny? Where did that come from? He looked over at the youngest Weasley. She really had grown into a beautiful girl. In fact, Ginny looked more like a woman than a girl to Harry. Ginny looked at Harry and he quickly snapped his head forward. 'Why am I staring at her?' he wondered, mentally kicking himself.
Harry continued to ponder to himself as the four of them walked towards the door to leave. His thoughts were interrupted as Malfoy spoke rudely to Ron and Hermione. Their friends from Gryffindor came behind them. Harry warned him to back off but he didn't listen. Harry prepared himself to grab Ron. It seems Seamus and Dean did as well. Malfoy called Hermione a mudblood and Ron tried to grab him but the three boys pulled him back. They held on tight as Ron fought against them and the other Gryffindors around them grabbed him as well. He finally stopped pulling and they loosened their grip. Ron grabbed Hermione's hand and pulled her out the door. The other Gryffindors left the hall as well. Malfoy smirked as they left. Ginny pulled out her wand and pointed it at Malfoy.
"You better stop making fun of them!" Ginny's eyes flashed at him dangerously. Draco looked a bit worried for a moment but pulled himself back together quickly. He raised an eyebrow at her and said, "Or what? Are you going to hurt me? Excuse me if I don't seem scared."
"You should be." Ginny came right up in front of him, her wand pointing at his chin. "Remember last year? Bat-Bogey Hex ring a bell?" She lightly applied pressure to his chin. He pushed her back forcefully and she fell to the floor.
"Maybe that will teach you. No one threatens me!" Just as he said that, Harry came forward and hit him as hard as he could. Malfoy toppled over and lay unconscious once again.
"Maybe that'll teach him. No one pushes Ginny." Harry extended his hand to Ginny and pulled her up. She stared at him with her mouth wide open. "I...well...thank you Harry." They noticed they were still holding hands and quickly let go. Snape came up to them, a small smile on his face.
"Ah, Mr. Potter. First, Weasley was caught fighting and now you. You will join me in detention tonight and the rest of this week. Come to my office at six." He levitated Malfoy and exited the hall. Harry sighed.
"Oh Harry, I'm sorry! If I hadn't done that to Malfoy then you wouldn't have detention!"
"It's alright Ginny. I can handle Snape. By the way, are you alright since you fell?"
"Oh yes, I'm fine. A bit of a fall won't hurt me. Well....thank you again." Harry nodded. He felt slightly embarrassed at her thanks and wanted to leave. "Um, I'll see you later okay? I need to go do some homework."
"Oh sure. I'll see you at lunch." Ginny tried not to sound disappointed. Harry smiled at her and quickly walked out. Ginny sighed and slowly left the hall after she thought he was gone.
A/N: In case you're wondering, the title means that Malfoy's been knocked out twice but hasn't knocked anyone else out. By the way, I decided that this fic takes place sixth year (for Harry, Ron, and Hermione, fifth for Ginny) at the end of November. Well, I always pictured this to take place sixth year but I hadn't ever mentioned it. I have a lot of ideas for the story. I even wrote them down so I don't forget! I plan to have the fic go to at least Christmas time (HP x-mas time, not real x-mas!). Yes, I've planned it all the way 'til then! I hope you're all excited! I am! Sorry it's taken me longer than usual to update but I have ballet anywhere from 2.5 to 5 hours every evening except Sunday and sometimes Friday! I only get a little while to write each night but I'm going as fast as I can! Also, the weekend is here so hopefully I can add a chapter or two before Monday. Anyway, I'll stop blabbing at you and thank you instead!
Individual thank you's:
thekecmaster: Yeah, I'll probably have the teachers comment soon. Flitwick falling off his books would be pretty funny....Maybe I'll do that. Thanks! Good name for Malfoy! Sums him up pretty well. As much as I would like to have Ron beat the crap out of Malfoy, I can't. Too bad!
RonandHerm4eva: Thank you for the compliment! And yes, thanks again for the idea. I have lots of ideas like I said but more are welcome! I'm working on H/G but I can't have it happen too quickly. It's going to take a little while but I'm building up to it! I hope my closet scene isn't bad. To tell the truth, I've never kissed anyone so I'm using my imagination! Don't worry I like long reviews! I'm glad you liked the chapter! I think you'll like the next one too.
