Chapter 15

Ginny got back at midnight as she walked through the portrait hall into the common room she was surprised to see Hermione and Harry were sat by the fire.

They both looked around as Ginny entered

"Ginny!" Hermione gasped leaping out of her seat, Harry following suite

"Hows Ron?" Hermione said looking worried

"Fine, he's well on the way to recovery" Ginny smiled

"How's his leg?" croaked Harry looking embarrassed

"It's ok, actually he looks chirpy considering"

"Good" Hermione and Harry said at once

"Look I – I mean we – me and Harry are both really sorry" Hermione Said "and I hope we can patch up our friendship for Ron's sake" Harry nodded in agreement

Ginny felt a mixture of feelings, she didn't want to swallow her pride but a voice deep down was shouting accept it they are Ron's friends!" Ginny went with the latter

"Ok I guess I'm sorry to, I have hardly been little-miss-perfect have I?"

With that Hermione threw herself at Ginny, hugging and sobbing into her shoulder

"I'm hic sorry I was hic going behind Ron's hic back" Hermione finally managed to say through tears

"It's alright" Ginny said awkwardly patting her on the back

Hermione drew back and wiped her now wild hair out of her face that were stuck to her tears. "Thanks" she smiled

"Now I'm sorry to be rude, but I really do need to go to bed, I've been running around all day and am exhausted" Ginny longingly looked at the staircase to her right.

"Goodnight" said Hermione politely

"Night Hermione, night Harry" Ginny made her way over to the stairs

"Sleep tight" shouted Harry happily
