Telling Ron
Chapter 12: Jealous Realizations
Author's Note: Yay! Almost 100 reviews! I'm so excited! Lol. Ok here's a Harry/Ginny focused chapter.
The next Monday, Ginny was the first person down in the common room. She saw new announcements on the bulletin board and skimmed through them. Harry came down while she was looking and he came behind her.
"Anything new?" She pointed at one of the signs.
"Hogsmeade trip this weekend."
"Oh." Ron came down the stairs, grinning broadly.
"Morning!" he said, clapping Harry on the shoulder. "What's going on?"
"I was just showing Harry the Hogsmeade announcement." Ginny smiled at Ron's happiness. He and Hermione definately weren't ignoring Harry anymore. In fact, he had to force them to leave him alone sometimes. They didn't want to leave him out anymore but he didn't want them around every second of the day. Actually, Harry missed his alone time with Ginny. Of course, he didn't tell her that.
"Great! When Hermione comes down I'll ask if she wants to go!"
An idea came into Harry's head. 'Maybe I could ask Ginny to go with me.' He felt slightly embarrassed at the thought. 'But what if she doesn't like me anymore? I'm sure she doesn't. But what if she does...' Harry snapped out of his mental argument as Hermione came down the stairs.
"Hi love!" Ron went and lifted Hermione in a huge hug. She kissed him on the cheek in greeting and said hello to Harry and Ginny.
"Hermione there's a Hogsmeade trip this weekend! Shall we go?"
She laughed at his eagerness. "I suppose," she said teasingly.
"Good let's go to breakfast!" He pulled on her hand and motioned for the other two to follow.
Ten minutes into breakfast, Neville came up to Ginny. He looked nervous.
"Um Ginny?"
"Yes?"
"Can I talk to you for a moment?" He swallowed and waited anxiously for her reply. She nodded and stood to follow him. She raised her eyebrows to the others curiously. Harry stared at them as they walked out of the Great Hall.
"What do you suppose he wants with her?" The door closed and he couldn't see them anymore.
"I don't know." Hermione looked at Harry's face, noticing the jealousy in his eyes. She smiled to herself. Ron stared back at the door, his eyebrows furrowed.
"Yeah, what does he need to talk to her in private for?"
"Calm down you two. I'm sure it's nothing serious." Hermione rolled her eyes at Ron's protectiveness. Minutes later, Giny re-entered without Neville. She came and sat down next to Hermione. She picked up her fork and started eating again. Ron stared at her, ready for her to explain. She didn't.
"Ginny! What did he want?"
She looked up at him and saw how flustered he was.
"It wasn't a big deal. He asked if I wanted to accompany him to Hogsmeade on Saturday."
Ron's eyes bulged. "He asked you out? Since when does he like you?"
Giny glared at her brother. "I don't know. He said spending time together last year at the D.A. and all was fun and he thought it would be nice to go to Hogsmeade together. But why shouldn't he like me?"
Ron ignored her comment. Harry stood up suddenly and said he needed to go get his books even though they were already in his bag. He left quickly without allowing anyone to answer him. He walked to the nearest boys lavatory and closed the stall door. 'I can't believe Neville asked her! That was my idea! Of course I wasn't sure if I really was going to ask her but...still! Now I can't!' He exhaled angrily. He realized how jealous he was at the thought of Ginny with Neville. 'He isn't her type of person. She needs someone who can keep up with her. Neville's too shy and he needs help all the time. She should be with someone who can take care of himself and her. I could take care of her.' Harry knew he liked Ginny now. He liked everything about her. He liked her beautiful face and smile. The way her face lit up when she laughed. The way the sun made the different red highlights in her hair shine. The way she cared for eveyone so deeply. The way she stood up for the people she cared for even if she got in trouble. But it was too late. Neville took his chance at having her. He sadly opened the stall door and headed to class.
Harry walked to Care of Magical Creatures and stopped beside Ron who was behind Hermione with his arms around her waist.
"Harry why did you leave so quickly this morning?" Hermione had a feeling she knew why.
"Oh I just had a lot on my mind."
"I thought you were sick or something! I was going to come check on you but Hermione told me to leave you alone." Hermione shivered as the cold wind blew and Ron tightend his arms. She looked over at Neville sympathetically. "Poor Neville."
Harry looked at her confused. "What do you mean poor Neville?"
"Well Harry you left too fast this morning. Ginny turned down his invitation to Hogsmeade."
A/N: Sorry another cliffhanger. I tend to do that huh? What will happen now that Ginny is available? Will Harry make his move? Suspense! I hope those of you asking for more H/G are satisfied so far. For you R/H lovers, I threw in some stuff like the arms around her waist. I love both pairings so I've included some of both. Hope everyone liked it!
Thekecmaster: It's interesting that you like HG/LL. Glad you liked the chapter!
hP fAn Fo LyFe: Thank you! I love R/H, H/G too! (obviously)
RonandHerm4eva: Thanks! I'm on the third Georgia Nicholson book. I love it!
amber: Thanks! Hope you liked this chapter!
Mione Weasley the original: I'm on the third Georgia Nicholson book. They're so funny! Thanks! Glad you like the chapter!
RonandHermione4eva: Thank you! I'm so happy you like it!
