Disclaimer: I do not own the characters or any of the plot from the Harry
Potter books, just my plot that I created. Enjoy!
Hermione, Ginny, and Melanie had just got done getting Hermione unpacked and settled in. Hermione was slipping under her covers, when she remembered that Ginny was supposed to tell her something.
"So, Gin, what's this you needed to tell me. You promised, so don't back out." Hermione said with a playful evilness in her eyes and voice.
"Don't worry, 'Mione, I wasn't going to back out. Anyways, it's something I need to show you." Ginny started to get out of her bed and pulled what looked like a little book out from in between her mattresses. Hermione couldn't tell exactly if it was a book or not, it was a little dark in Ginny's room, so she took her wand out from under her pillow and whispered, "Lumos."
She was right about guessing it looked a bit like a book. It was medium-sized and the covers were brown leather with a blank front cover. Ginny crouched down beside Hermione as Melanie got out of her bed to join them. When everyone had clear view of the book, Ginny opened it. It looked like a journal, in fact, it was a journal. But it wasn't just anyone's journal. Hermione could recognize that sloppy handwriting anywhere.
"Ron's journal?" Hermione breathed. "But Gin, how'd you get it? I mean...this is a total invasion of his privacy. We shouldn't even be looking at it."
"Oh, shut up, 'Mione, you know you wanna read it." Ginny was right, Hermione did want to read it....very badly. "Anyways, there's some stuff in here you should really see. Stuff that concerns you." Ginny had a smile just dancing around the corners of her mouth.
This threw Hermione off a bit. What in the world did Ron write about her? If it was something bad, then she was sure to have him dead by the dawn of the next day, if it was the last thing she did.
"I know what you're thinking 'Mione, and it's nothing bad. Trust me." Ginny winked at Hermione after saying this, which just caused even more curiosity on Hermione's part that she almost just snatched the journal right then and there and locked herself in the bathroom.
"Oooooo, sounds juicy...nudge nudge." Said Melanie, poking a little fun at Hermione.
"Well, I don't want to keep you any longer, soooooo, here, read it. Maybe you'll be pleasantly surprised...I don't know." Ginny held out the journal for Hermione to read.
Hermione took the journal from Ginny's hand and started to read.
I just sent out my owl to Hermione. Hopefully she'll be able to stay for the summer. What I wouldn't do for her to be able to stay here...if only she knew I've liked her since the first year, it would make things much easier. But I don't even know if she likes me back, considering all the fights we get in, mostly on my part, but it's never anything serious, I would hate to lose her, even as just a friend. I care for her more than I ever thought I could care for anyone. I'm content with her being my best friend, though, as long as I'm close to her. I had a dream last night about her. I was flying around on my broom, and she was behind me, holding onto me tight, but I didn't know it was her at the time, there was a hood covering my eyes, but it was like the broom knew where it was going. We landed suddenly, and it turned out to be a bare patch in the middle of the Forbidden Forest. I turned around and lowered my hood, and there she was, as beautiful as I remembered her last, and I somehow knew she returned my feelings and we shared one of the most passionate kisses I've ever experienced, real or not. I told her I loved her, which is the truth, and she told me the same thing, and I just couldn't have felt better, but then I woke up to Pig nibbling on my earlobe. I was annoyed at first, but that changed because the letter was from Hermione saying she could stay the summer. I think I might tell her my feelings when she gets here. What was that crash, oh wait, I think that's her, I better get going, I'll just act like I was reading, maybe it'll impress her.
Ron
"Oh my God. This isn't real, it can't be. You wrote this Ginny, didn't you? You're just playing a joke on me....right?" Hermione was freaked out...how could he have had the exact same dream. It was starting to get to her. Maybe it really was a prank...that wasn't anything unheard of in the Weasley household.
"No, 'Mione, it's all real. I found it when I was snooping through his room like a normal sister does. So, what do you think?" She said the last part hesitantly, as if Hermione might freak out or something.
Hermione had to lie. She didn't want to admit to one of her best friends that she liked her brother. Ginny would probably throw a fit, and just be majorly grossed out. "What am I supposed to think? I don't like him Gin, not in the way it's portrayed there, but just as a best friend. Anyways, this could be Fred and George just trying to get a rise out of us, they'd do anything just to get a reaction of some kind."
"Are you sure 'Mione, I thought I saw some connection there...hmmmm?" Melanie decided to put her two cents in.
"I'm sure! Let's just change the subject; I don't feel like talking about this, I'm kind of uncomfortable." Hermione was desperate to get them off the topic of Ron; Ginny could get almost anything out of anyone.
"Fine, whatever you say." Said Ginny, then turned to Melanie. "So, Mel, what's going on between you and Harry? I smell a relationship coming on. Spill."
"Welllllll. I like him, could he get any cuter. I mean, those gorgeous green eyes, I just feel like he's looking into my soul or something, as cheesy as that sounds. And I just like how his hair never lies flat. I mean, I've heard of Harry Potter, but not how babealicious he was. I'm going to make my move tomorrow, unless he does first."
"Hey Mel." Said Hermione, kind of curiously. "Why are you here anyways, not to sound like I don't want you here or anything, but I'm curious."
"Oh, well, my parents got into this huge fight, and sadly they're getting a divorce right now, so they decided they both needed some time off or something, so they sent me here for the year. I get to spend the school year with you guys, just under sucky circumstances. But I'm trying to make the best of it. It's not my problem, it's theirs, and it shouldn't have too much of an effect on me. But don't freak out if I all of a sudden break down in the middle of nowhere, it'll happen from time to time, just hand me a Kleenex or something. Or even better, just get Harry. A little making out could make things all better." Melanie had a little evil grin on her face after the last statement. Hermione was shocked. Melanie certainly could put on a good act for having to deal with what she was going through at that time.
"I'm so sorry Mel, that sucks. I'll try to help you out when I can, but just a word to the wise, I'm not great at comforting, so I make look like a total idiot when I'm trying to do it."
"Don't worry Hermione. If you try to cheer people up the way you're describing, then it'll most likely make me laugh at the sheer stupidity of your words."
Hermione stuck her tongue out at Melanie, and then flipped her off, jokingly. Melanie returned it back and the girls started to laugh, until they realized they should probably get to sleep. They were going to have a big day ahead of them, most likely, and they needed their sleep. They all said goodnight to each other and Hermione reversed the Lumos charm and lay down.
She thought about what she had seen in Ron's journal. Could it possibly be real? She hoped so. She just wasn't ready to share her feelings.
Not yet.
