Chapter Five: Ron's Story 2: Evanescence's "Everybody's Fool" but when she
says, "look here she comes now,
bow down and stare in wonder,
oh how we love you,
no flaws when you're pretending,
but now I know she," change all the "shes" to "hes". Lol
.:*:.
I heard someone down in the Common Room. It was amazing that the sound woke me up. It could barely be heard. Besides, I can usually sleep through anything. Well, there was that time when Sirius was looming over me in third year...
Anyway, I got up quickly from my bed, walked down the stairs, yawning. It wasn't until I saw Hermione on the floor that I started running.
"Hermione! What are you doing on the floor?" I yelled, expecting her to be unconscious. She rolled over and looked at me, then her eyes grew in shock. She sat up faster than I expected someone to after they were suddenly on the floor. I assumed she fell down the stairs.
"Ron!" she said loudly.
"Yes?" I said, giving her a look.
"I...I didn't know it was you coming down here." She said.
"Who else would it be?" I said, still standing. She was looking at the floor.
"Why, may I ask, are you on the floor?" I asked again.
"I tripped." She said angrily, then she got up, smoothing down her nightdress, and started to stomp up the stairs. I knew she came down here to do something. But what?
I spotted an envelope and grabbed just out of instinct. I knew she must have wrote a letter for me and was going to bring it to my room. She had come into my dorm many times before. I remember the time she came in on her seventeenth birthday after we had a huge fight. That's when we finally started going out [read "Shined By Moonlight" to find more information ;)]. I gulped as I looked at the envelope. It wasn't for me. It was for Malfoy.
I didn't care that I was invading personal information. I just tore the envelope open, and read.
I read it over ten times, making sure I wasn't just imagining it. Each time I read it I started to grow furious. I was furious at Hermione, I was furious at Malfoy, and I was furious at myself. I was furious with everyone. I put my two hands on the letter, ready to rip it in half, but as I did, an idea flickered in my head that suddenly made me stop. I didn't really understand why, but I took the letter upstairs with me, and I went back to sleep.

The next morning, as I went to class, I took the longer way where I was sure I'd pass Malfoy and his 'pals.' I held the letter clenched in my hand so hard, it began to hurt.
I saw Malfoy, and I started to glare. All the other Slytherins were staring at him as if he were a king. They might as well have bowed down on the floor as he passed through the hall. He did get everything he wanted.
I couldn't believe how many people he fooled. He even was fooling Hermione at this very moment. I clenched the letter harder in my hand, my teeth clenched as well.
He never was and never will be the right person for Hermione. I was, or, I believed I was. I couldn't bear to even think about Hermione being with anyone but me. Of course, I never really realized anything between us until around the end of sixth year, and I still was too stupid to do anything about it. Maybe if I made my move sooner, none of this would have happened.
I came stomping through the hallway, where Malfoy eventually saw me. He started laughing, as usual.
"Hey look, it's Weasel. Where Potty, Weasel?" he said. I ignored him- for once.
"And where's your goody-two-shoes Mudblood friend Granger? Or is she still ignoring you lately?" several people started to snigger.
"You can have her, if you must." I snarled, shoving the stupid letter into him as hard as I could. Taken by surprise, Malfoy fell backwards from my half punch, and I saw him pick up the letter and glance at it while he was still on the floor as I turned and walked away.
