Chapter 4: Ron makes a fool of himself.
Ginny, Harry, Ron and Hermione sat around the common room. Harry and Ron were playing a game of chess, Hermione was reading (Duh!) and Ginny was practicing some fight moves. Ron eyes his youngest sibling carefully.
"Ginny, Why are you doing that? I hope you aren't going to go and get yourself into another fight."
"No Ron" she replied, "I'm just practicing. Wanna give me someone to practice on?"
"You wanna fight me?" he laughed, "Yeah right. I will beat you to a pulp."
"Bring it on then" she snapped, pulling herself into fight stance.
Ron began to stand up. "Ron." Hermione started, "I really don't think you should."
Ron turned around to face Hermione, "What?" he asked, "She's my only sister, I'm not going to hurt her." He glanced at Ginny, "Too badly."
"No." Hermione replied impatiently, "I was more worried about you getting hurt."
Ginny snickered and watched as the look on her brother's face went from amusement to horror.
"I'll show you," he mumbled as he faced his sister.
During all this Harry was off in his own little world. After seeing Ginny again after such a long time he began to get these funny feelings. Anytime she came anywhere near him she got butterflies and was practically incoherent. He was awoken from his musings by a howl from Ron.
Ginny had him face down on the ground in a headlock with one arm twisted behind his back. Hermione was sitting back with a look on her face, which plainly said, "I told you so."
Ginny moved so she could tighten her hold when Professors Dumbledore, McGonagall, Snape and Spike entered the common room. Professor McGonagall took one look at Ginny and had her wand out, but Spike was too fast.
"What was the first thing I told you Little Red? Never ever loosen your grip on an opponent."
Ginny smiled sheepishly, "Oops. I must have forgot."
"Look let me show you."
Ginny got up off Ron and before he could move Spike was holding him in the same position.
"Mr. Spike" Professor McGonagall shrieked, "Get off of my student."
Ginny, Hermione and Harry laughed, as did Professor Dumbledore.
"Oops sorry I forgot. Have to make a good impression on the students."
He stood up and pulled Ron up. Ron took Spike's hand reluctantly and arose with his face as red as his hair.
"I-I-I was just going easy on you, you know."
Ginny laughed openly while Harry and Hermione let out a suspicious sounding cough.
"Aha that's why when I flipped you over you screamed and pleaded for mercy. Now I see."
If it was possible, Ron turned even redder.
"Well, ummmm must go, lots of homework to do." He said before sprinting up the stairs.
