Telling Ron
Chapter 11: Funny What Love Can Do To You
Author's Note: Sorry it took me a bit longer than usual to update (only four days). Still I wanted to update sooner. Thank you all so much for the positive reviews! I appreciate them so much! By the way, the chapter title "Snogging Withdrawl" was not taken from the book, On The Bright Side I'm Now The Girlfriend of a Sex God. I don't know if any of you have read it but there is a part in the book that says that. If you haven't read it, you should! It's an awesome and hilarious book! Maybe it will help me write some good english words. Ok here's the next chapter. It's mostly about Harry and Ginny. I know a lot of you have been wanting more H/G so here it is! Also, there are OotP spoilers in the next couple of chapters in case any of you haven't read it. I would hope that you all have though!
After Ron and Hermione made up, they were rarely seen except in class and for about ten minutes at meal times. They weren't much fun in class since Hermione took notes and paid attention as usual while Ron stared at her, grinning like a mad man. The rest of the time, they found places to be alone. Harry felt very left out. By Saturday, he'd hardly said two words to his best friends. He understood that they wanted privacy to do....whatever they did together but did they have to everyday at every possible moment? True, Harry was friends with Seamus, Dean, and Neville but they weren't the same.
Saturday night, Harry sat on the Quidditch field thinking about Sirius. He missed his godfather terribly. He still felt it was his fault Sirius had died last year. If he had just waited to make sure Sirius was in danger...but it was too late. Harry put his head in his hands. He heard a rustling nearby and looked up to see Ginny walking cautiously toward him. She smiled nervously.
"Hi Harry. Can I sit down?"
"Of course."
"What are you doing?" She sat beside him and crossed her legs, indian style.
"Just thinking." He felt better with Ginny next to him.
"What about?" He looked upset and she wanted to help him any way she could. Harry didn't know whether to confide in her or not. He wanted to talk to somebody but it hadn't ever been her before.
"Harry you can tell me. What's wrong?"
"You'll think I'm being a baby." He stared at the blades of grass in front of him.
"No I would never think that!"
He sighed. "Alright. It's just that...I feel kind of...lonely I guess."
"Oh Harry-".
"It's just that Ron and Hermione are together all the time and I can't write to Sirius anymore. I just feel a bit alone."
Ginny felt awful for him. She knew what he was going through. She was alone most of the time when she started school and had been used to it. Harry, however, always had friends around to keep him company. His life had been so difficult, he didn't deserve to be by himself. She suddenly felt angry at Ron and Hermione. How could they leave him like that?
"You aren't alone Harry. I'm here." She slowly put her hand on top of his. "And I always will be." Harry looked at her surprised. She started to pull her hand off when she saw his face but he put his other hand on top of it.
"Thanks Ginny," he whispered. "That means a lot to me."
They sat there for hours remembering Sirius. Their hands stayed where they were the whole time.
* * * * *
The next day, Harry and Ginny spent the day together. They flew on their brooms for awhile, sat outside talking, and played chess. Harry couldn't believe he'd never spent very much time with Ginny before. She was so fun and comfortable to be with. He felt like he could tell her anything. Ginny couldn't believe Harry wanted to spend that much time with her. The night before when they had said good-night, Ginny had gone upstairs and fallen happily onto her bed. Harry had held her hand for so long. She was in such a good mood, it took her a couple more hours just to get to sleep. Then the next morning she was wide awake. Funny what love can do to you.
They pair spent a lot of time together the next week. Ginny told Harry everything about what had happened her first year with Tom Riddle. When she started crying, Harry hugged her close to him. She felt so safe in his arms. Harry quite liked it himself. He wanted to protect her from anything that harmed her.
On Thursday (a little over a week after R/H made up), Ginny was waiting for Harry to go to breakfast with when Ron came down.
"Hey Gin."
"Don't you 'Hey Gin' me Ronald Weasley!" Ron looked at her confused.
"What's wrong with you?"
"What's wrong with me? What's wrong with you?"
"Nothing." He had no idea why she was so mad.
"Ron you've been neglecting Harry for days! How could you do that to him? Just because you have a girlfriend doens't mean you can ignore your best friend!"
Ron suddenly felt stupid. He hadn't talked much to Harry lately. He'd been so caught up with Hermione and closets. He slapped his forehead.
"I'm such an idiot!"
"Yes you are!"
"I'll be back!" Ron ran upstairs and threw open the dorm door.
"Harry! Where are you?" Harry stuck his head around the lavatory door. "What?"
"Harry I'm really sorry about the last few days. Well, week actually. I've just been so happy with Hermione and all that I forgot to spend time with you! I can't believe I did it and I'm just really sorry!"
Harry laughed. "It's alright mate. Ginny's fun to be around. I mean at first I was mad but I'm fine now." Ron gave a sigh of relief. Harry went and clapped his hand on Ron's shoulder. "Thanks for apologizing though."
They headed downstairs and Hermione threw herself at Harry.
"Harry I'm so sorry! I'm such a horrible friend!"
"Hermione don't worry! I forgive you."
She pulled away and looked at him uncertainly. "Are you sure? I mean we haven't spent any time together lately."
"It's alright. I'm fine."
"Oh good! Come on, let's go eat breakfast. Together." Hermione grabbed Harry and Ron's arms. Harry looked at Ginny and extended his hand to her. She smiled and gently took it.
A/N: Ok, I hope you guys aren't mad about the way Ron and Hermione acted. I wanted Harry and Ginny to spend more time together and Ginny to comfort Harry somehow and this is what I came up with. Now it will make more sense for Harry and Ginny to get together since they've been alone with each other lately. Anyway, I think you guys will like the next chapter. It's going to end with a cliffhanger though! Just warning you!
