Chapter 4: Interesting...

~~~~~

Ginny pulled herself out of bed, Hermione wasn't there so Ginny looked out the window, sure enough, there was Harry, Hermione, and Ron. Her brother looked all red and he stomped into the house. Ginny thought it would be a good time to visit with him. She changed quickly thinking about how to cheer him up.

Ginny skipped down the stairs and into the living room where Ron was sitting, staring at his chess set. "Fancy a game?" Ginny asked brightly. Ron grunted, most likely in agreement. Ginny had a pretty good idea on why he was red, it looked like he and Hermione just had a fight. And Ginny was 97% sure that her brother had a crush on her best friend.

Ginny lost the chess game, of course, but she only played the game to get Ron's spirits up, which it did. "I won!" Ron yelled and jumped up doing a victory dance, "I am the all powerful master of...THE CHESS BOARD!" He did a little booty shake and was making so much noise that he didn't hear the two pops, the 5 or 6 clicks and the hysterical laughter as Fred and George took pictures of their brother doing a random dance.

"The Funky Chicken, Ron?" Fred asked.

"Something sure does SMELL funky," George added, while waving his hand in front of his wrinkled nose.

"That's Ron's new after shave," Ginny informed with a smile.

"Ron shaves?" Fred asked appalled.

"I can't believe it!" George exclaimed.

"Wait a minute," Fred said, grabbing George's arm like he might start walking off, "Ginny didn't say WHERE Ron shaved."

George did a very big dramatic "OH!" As though he was stupid enough not to know that in the first place. Ginny put on a disgusted look and George said, "That explains it!" Ron had gone bright red. "Well, you know what the good thing is?"

Fred began to wave around the camera so that his siblings could see it, "You can't smell in photos?" George nodded, and Ron realized that they had taken pictures of him so he ran after them, not really making much sense of what he was saying.

The twins would pick on him by disapperating when he almost got close enough to catch them, then apperating a few feet away, then doing it all over again, making Ginny laugh so hard that tears where rolling down her cheeks and her shoulders where shaking violently.

Ginny laid on the sofa, crying with laughter when she heard the back door open and Hermione and Harry run to her side. "What's wrong?"

"Ron..." was all that Ginny managed to say.

"I hate him!" Hermione growled.

"Huh?" Ginny sat up with a smile on her face.

"Your not crying?" Hermione asked.

"No, its just, oh never mind, you'll see the pictures." Hermione just gave her a weird look and sat down next to her.

"How can your brother be so--" Hermione made a violent gesture with her hands.

Harry, who sat on the other side of Hermione rolled his eyes from behind her back. Ginny surpressed a giggle and sighed, "Well, Hermione, I've had to live with him longer than you have."

"I have you both heat!" Harry exclaimed, "I have to listen to his snoring!"

Ginny nodded, "You win."

~~~

Harry tiptoed down the staircase, his invisibility cloak hung loosely over his arm when he heard muffled giggles coming from the family room. He pulled the cloak around himself and watched his body disappear from the hall mirror. He was planning on scaring Hermione and Ginny who were now talking again.

"I don't know," Hermione said shyly.

"Hermione!" Ginny pushed her gently, "Yes you do!"

"Ok, I do like Ron, a little."

"A lot!" Ginny grunted.

Harry smiled walking up behind them.

"What about you! You like Him." Harry shook his head, Ginny liked Ron? EWW!

"Duh!" Ginny barked. "I just so happy he doesn't have red hair!"

"Why?" Hermione asked innocently, "What's wrong with red hair?"

"I know you happen to like red hair, Hermione, but if I ever had a crush on a guy with red hair it would be like I'm in love with my brother."

Hermione laughed, "Well, I know He has the opposite of red hair."

'What is the opposite of red hair?' Harry asked himself.

"Yes, I know," Ginny grinned, "and He has a great body!"

"All right, I can't argue with you there," Hermione admitted. Harry was getting curious about this mystery boy they were talking about. Apparently all he found out was that he wasn't in either Slytherin or Hufflepuff.

"I saw him with his shirt off during that shirts and skins Quidditch match!" Ginny told Hermione, "I almost wet myself. Wait, I did wet myself." Ginny gave Hermione an evilly smile and the brain replied with 'Ewww!'

Harry couldn't believe what he just heard, Ginny got 'Turned on' by some guy that Harry played with. Harry searched his brain, trying to remember his teammates. 'Um, that Kyan guy in Ginny's year, Seamus, Dean, that guy in Hufflepuff: Tony, Colin and James, that Ravenclaw boy in Ginny's year. So, minus Colin for obvious reasons, Tony because he is Hufflepuff.' Harry smiled at the girls who where giggling for a minute. 'So that leaves: Seamus, Dean, Kyan, and James. Great!'

"Kyan doesn't have a half-bad body either," Hermione told Ginny.

"Oh, I know! If he wasn't my best friend I would be all over him!" Ginny giggled, "He is so hot!"

"Hey," Hermione paused, "Whatever every happen to your love life?"

Ginny rolled her eyes, "My non-exsistant one?" Hermione shrugged. "Dean broke it off."

'Minus Dean and Kyan.'

"Why?"

"Oh, you want to hear it? All right, here is goes: Dean owled me and said we should break it off because long-distant relationships don't really work. So, no boyfriend right now but," Ginny added with a sarcastic tone, "he so graciously added that we can get 'back together' when we meet again at Hogwarts."

Hermione comforted her. "What was he like?"

Ginny's gloom and doom face turned into a mischievous grin, "We were only together 3 days before break and we must have snogged 36 times. He is a great kisser."

Hermione giggled, "I wonder if Ron is a good kisser."

"EWW! I wouldn't know, AND I never WANT to know!" Ginny gave a disgusted face at Hermione.

"Well," Hermione added, "maybe He is a good kisser."

"Do you know for a fact?" Ginny asked appalled.

"No," Hermione told her.

Ginny grinned, "I wish I knew, the only times I have kissed him are in my dreams." Hermione laughed. "In my," Ginny grinned, "wet dreams!"

"EWww!" Hermione shrieked.

Harry's eyes grew watching Ginny roll over on the couch laughing. This young girl was talking about inappropriate things with her best friend, 'With MY best friend,' Harry added to himself.

The girls stood up and went upstairs. Harry couldn't believe that this little girl, Ginny Weasley, had such a dirty mind. He never found out if it was Seamus or James whom Ginny gets 'happy' about.

Ron walked passed the living room and stopped, Hermione standing by the window. It had been raining for a few hours and it was getting a little cold. Ron walked up behind her and wrapped his arms around her and whispered, "Guess who."

Hermione smiled and then said, "Oh Harry, we can't, what if Ron catches us?"

"Hermione!" Ron yelled, letting her go.

"Just kidding, Ron." Hermione turned around and grinned happily at him.

Ron smiled then looked at Hermione as she rubbed her arms, "Are you cold?"

"Just a little chilly." Hermione confessed. The mist on the windows was looking gray from the drops of rain beating down the glass. Ron quickly pulled off his Weasley sweater and handed it to Hermione. "No, its ok." Hermione pushed it away.

"No, take it!" Ron pushed it in her hands, she gave a thank you and put it on, the hem of the shirt went to mid-thigh, it looked like a really short dress. "See, it looks good on you."

"Thanks," Hermione mumbled.

"Anytime," Ron touched her arm and felt her freezing hand, "wow, your so cold, here," Ron grabbed her hands and rubbed them in his own. The whole time doing this he was starring at her, her thick brown hair and thin face. Ron's large hands seemed to cover her small ones completely.

Hermione began to blush at the thought of this teenage boy holding her hands. Ron saw this and his face, too, began to grow red and his ears looked like large cherries. Ron smiled at her as the silence drifted over the two of them.

Ginny grabbed Harry's arm quickly and shook her head violently at him when he tried to walk in the door. "Lets leave them alone," she whispered in his ear as they walked back into the kitchen to work on Ginny's crossword.

Ron looked at the door and saw that no one was around, he lend in near Hermione's face. She closed her eyes immediately. 'I've been waiting for this for a long time.' She told herself.

Ron stiffened and closed his eyes as well. 'No!' He yelled at himself, 'I won't see where I am going.' He opened them again and saw that Hermione's lips were getting prepared for what was about to happen. Ron leaned in closer, slowly letting his lips touch her's.

Her eyes shot open with surprise just as his closed, she wasn't sure if he was really going to do it. The shock of the first touch soon wore off when her cool hands reached his neck and when Fred and George popped into the room.

"Oww...Little Ron--What the--?" Fred said, lifting his view from the newly developed pictures of the youngest Weasley male to the said boy kissing his best friend.

Ron broke apart from Hermione and each flew 3 feet in the opposite direction.

"Well, well, well!" George smiled. "Seems as though Ronald, here, got his first kiss."

"He was a little later than the rest of us," Fred told his twin. "Bill and Charlie both got theirs about 14?" George nodded.

"Percy was 15," George added. "And we were?" He asked Fred.

"13, I believe." Fred told him with a smile, "Alica and Heather." George nodded. "So, that means that Ron, here, took the longest."

"Oh well," George said, "since he is a Weasley it had to happen sooner or later." George laughed, "At least you could have tried to get your first kiss before your LITTLE SISTER!" Ron was turning more red by the word.

Hermione stood up in front of Ron and said, "Well, I don't see you two snogging girls in your family room?"

Ron smiled and joined in, "Or do you just end up snogging each other?" Hermione, Fred, and George all got very discussed looks on their faces as they turned to Ron. "Bad?" He asked shyly.

Hermione stalked from the room and Fred and George followed her, glaring at Ron.
