Secrets Unfold
Chapter 2
Questions Arise
Back in the common room Harry was talking to Ginny while Ron was talking to Angela Watersie, a beautiful brunet, with reddish eyes, and a soft voice, "Well I was wondering if you wanted to go to the dance with me?" "Uh.. Ron I'm not so sure I like you like that." "Oh! Wait! Sorry, but me neither I was just wondering as friends? Unless you wanted someone you liked like that to ask you?" "No, and in that case, I'd love to." "Good, well I'll see you Friday." Ron raced over to Harry with a wide smile and told him the good news, "That's wonderful Ron! I was just trying to get some information out of your sister. Where'd she go!" Harry yelled as he turned back around. She had slyly slipped off while Ron was telling Harry the wonderful announcement.
At 10:00 everyone was sleeping except for Ron who was waiting until midnight so he could follow Hermione. He lay in bed watching his wristwatch as it ticked each minute away. His eyelids were getting heavy, "No! I have to stay awake," he muttered as his eyes closed. He suddenly jumped up and did jumping jacks. At 11:11 Ron was back in bed trying to keep his eyes open. 11:58: "57 bottles of energy potions on the wall, 57 bottles of energy potions, take one down drink it so I don't fall asleep, 56 bottles of energy potions on the wall," beep went his watch at 12:00am and Ron ran out the room grabbing his robe as he went. He silently walked down the steps and peered around the corner looking for Hermione, but it was Ginny and Hermione he found in the room, "Why do you like him?" Ginny asked. "I don't know! It just happened and I found out he's really sweet!" "Come on, Hermione! I want a better reason than that." "Ok, ok, well, see it started a couple months ago, when we were in Hogsmeade for Christmas. I was in Berti Botts Every Flavored Beans Store and he was there to. I went to go get the same box of beans he did and our hands touched, he rolled his eyes and grabbed it and left. I followed him and told him I wanted it more than he did, just to start something. And he said he was SORRY, ok, he said sorry and then gave it to me, after he paid for it." "That's weird," Ginny said confused. "Anyway, I asked him why he didn't have some kind of rude remark or why didn't he call the rest of his crew to help him, he said sorry, AGAIN, and then told me he didn't mean anything he said before and was sorry if he ever hurt me, he was just pretending to hate me so no one would know! It was a little longer than that, but I ain't going into detail. And after that we couldn't stop seeing each other." "Oooh! That is so romantic, all right go! I won't tell anyone." "You promise?" "Yeah, but Harry and Ron are getting suspicious." "Yeah, I know just ignore them, bye." "Bye," Ginny said as Hermione strutted gaily away.
Ron went back to his dorm not able to follow Hermione, being as where his sister was guarding the entrance. He stared at his roof and thought *But that doesn't sound like Colin, it sounds more like she's seeing Malfoy* He jumped up again, ran his fingers through his hair and smiled, *No, she wouldn't, she couldn't. Could she? *. Ron wasn't sleepy any more, but eventually his brain was almost mush from pondering so long who else looks like Colin and acts like Malfoy, he then fell asleep at 3:00 am.
On Tuesday morning at breakfast, Hermione came in late again and still didn't sit with Harry and Ron. "Alright, we're going to have to figure this out. You keep talking with Ginny, get anything you can, and I'll keep spying on Hermione. We'll find out who she's meeting before the dance this Friday." "But isn't Hermione mad at us already? Why don't we just wait until she tells us?" Harry said as he watched Hermione yawn. "Listen, I'm a very impatient man," from Harry's stern look Ron suddenly changed it to, "boy, a very impatient boy."
After breakfast was over Harry was telling Ron what each of them would find out, "I'll talk to Ginny and find out when Hermione meets this mystery man, and you find out where." "Fine with me," and with that they gave each other a malicious smile and went their separate ways.
(Author's note: Here we will follow Harry as he questions Ginny about Hermione's whereabouts.) "Hey, Ginny," Harry called out while running down the Hall in front of the Transfiguration Classroom. She turned around slowly, as she usually did, and asked rather sternly, "What do you want, Potter?" "All I wanted to say.." as he was saying that he took her by the arm and pushed her behind a statue of a witch that had a bad nose job. "Ouch! What is it!" she bantered. "I just wanted to ask you a question." "If it's about Hermione then you can forget it!" "Oh, really? Well, what if I do this, if you don't tell me when Hermione meets her guy then I'll tell everyone that your mom tucks you in at night and you have to sleep with a teddy bear!" "Oh, please! Can't you do any better than that?" "Hey, I'm new at this threatening thing, please forgive me," Harry retorted. "Alright, me and Ron, and this is the truth, just want to know because Hermione is our friend and we just don't want to see her get hurt." "Ok, ok, ok, I'll tell you this, but after I do you have to swear you won't bug me again about Hermione and her date?" "Her date?" "Oh, darn it! Uh?" "Just go on, I'll forget that," he snickered. "She's sees him every night at 12:00 and doesn't come back in until 4:15am. So, there that's all!" and she pushed Harry out the way, fixed her hair, and ran off. "I'm good," Harry, said as he walked away with a wide smile on his face. Seeing he had 2 hours left, he went to find Melissa to ask her to the dance.
At lunchtime Harry and Ron met and up and swapped details of their day so far. "Well, I figured out when she meets him and how long she stays out. Your sister didn't stand a chance! And I asked Melissa, who said yes," he bragged. "And I got nothing. I followed her all day long and she didn't meet him once! All she did was go to the Library and checked 'You Know How, You Just Can't' and then later she went into the common room and started doing extra work for Charms Class. But the real thing was later! She went into Moaning Myrtle's bathroom and started saying stuff like, 'Yeah, sure I'll go to the dance with you!..Oh! I don't know, then everyone will know we're a couple, OK!' it was bizarre and every time she said his name it was muffled by Myrtle's sniffles. So I'm gonna go back later and ask Myrtle to tell me who it is." They were both satisfied with their findings and Ron couldn't wait to get answers from Myrtle.
(Author's note: Now, we're in the bathroom of Moaning Myrtle with Ron and he's about to pop the question. Let's watch.) "Ooooo! Ooooo!" moaned Myrtle. "Myrtle, Myrtle, Myrtle.." "What is it," she droned. "I was just wondering how you've been?" "Terrible!" "Oh, that's nice, I saw Hermione come in here and say some stuff in the mirror about her date. So I was wondering if you could tell me who it was?" "Ahhh!" she shrieked as she glided down toward him. She didn't stop until she was almost nose-to-nose with him, "Because this will cause pain to someone else I'll tell you. Your Hermione has been staying out with, talking to about everything, hoping that he'll ask her to the dance, and practicing her answer for him, none other than the boy that I see Harry and you picking fights with. Trying to make them three miserable and they've been doing likewise. This boy that everyone hates, except his house, is none other than.." "No, wait, I don't think I want to know now. Because from what you said I really think I already know, and I don't want to hear you say it." A shiver went down Ron's spine as he pictured Hermione and him together.
