Telling Ron

Chapter 8: Ron's Big Mouth

Author's Note: Hey guys! Thanks for the reviews today! Ok the problems are starting this chapter. Not huge, devastating problems but there will be a fight (non-physical). By the way, this story is on Checkmated.com now! It's only on chapter one at the moment but I thought I'd mention it 'cause I was really excited when I saw it! I've only had 3 reviews so far though. I sent chapter two to my beta but it isn't up yet. Plus she lives down where hurricane Isabel is so she may not have access to a computer. Anyway, I hope you like this chapter. Here we go!

Harry walked as fast as he could outside towards the Quidditch field, his broom in his hand. He noticed Ron and Hermione sitting together by the lake. She was in his lap and Harry sighed. He wasn't sure why. 'Am I jealous?' He shook the thought out of his head and ran the rest of the way. Entering the field, he hurriedly got on his broom and kicked off. He immediately felt better as the cold air hit his face. Flying always calmed him. He flew around the goal posts and sped down to the other end of the field. He continued zooming around for hours before landing. His face was red from the cold. He inhaled deeply and flopped onto the grass, staring into the neverending sky above him. His mind wondered away from flying to Ginny. He slapped himself in the forehead. 'Why am I thinking about Ginny again? Get out of my mind!' He hit his head with his palm, trying to beat her out of his thoughts. It didn't work. Her wonderful laugh and beautiful face stayed in his mind as he lay there for hours until dark.

Afterwards, he took a shower then went to the library. He had no intention of doing homework. He just needed a quiet place to sort his thoughts. He sat down and put his forehead down on the table in front of him. He wondered if banging his against the table would relieve him of Ginny but looked up to see Madam Pince eyeing him accusingly. He dropped his head back down but left it there. Giving himself a headache wouldn't help anything. Soon after he drifted into a light sleep and momentarily forgot about that particular red head.

Ron came back from detention sore and exhausted. He entered the common room to find Ginny fast asleep on the couch and Hermione reading some parchment, grinning. He went and sat in a chair across from her.

"Hi love. What're you reading?"

"A letter from Victor," she answered, her eyes staying on the paper.

Ron's jaw dropped and anger filled him. "A letter from Krum?! Why are you still talking to him? Hermione I'm your boyfriend now!"

Ginny woke up and squinted at Ron tiredly. Hermione looked at him confused. "I know you're my boyfriend but that doesn't mean I can't keep in contact with Victor."

"Yes it does! Hermione he wants to be your boyfriend! He wanted you to visit him in Bulgaria and everything! I don't want you to talk to him anymore!"

"Ron you are being absolutely ridiculous! I told him that you're my boyfriend! And anyway, it isn't your decision whom I talk to! I can correspond with anyone I want!"

"I'm your boyfriend and I don't want you speaking to him!"

Hermione stood up angrily, grabbing her bag. "My boyfriend does not tell me what to do. If those are your rules then consider us separated!" She turned and ran up the stairs to her dormitory. Ron followed behind her. "Hermione wait!" He ran up four steps then landed in a heap at the bottom of the slide that appears when males step on the stairs. "Damn!" He got up angrily then noticed Ginny was awake.

She shook her head. "Good job. You've only had a girlfriend for one day and already been dumped!"

"Bugger off!" He ran up to his dorm and slammed the door as hard as he could. Ginny sighed and headed to her dorm. It hadn't been a great day for her.

A/N: Well I had to include Krum somewhere. Also, I noticed that this is eight chapters long but has only taken place from Friday night to Sunday night. Next chapter will be on Monday and they'll be back in school. Sorry it wasn't that long of a chapter. I'll update again soon though. Thanks!
