Chapter 7: Special relationships
Ron ran as fast as he could. After he left the Gryffindor common room he wasn't sure where to go. Hermione just disappeared. He thought of all the places she could have gone to but the one place that really stood out in his mind was the library, but that closed half an hour ago.
Ron tried looking all the places he thought she would have gone to until he only had one place left and that was the prefect's common room. The prefect's have their own common room and bathroom but Hermione and Ron never really used it because they liked sharing the Gryffindor common room with their friends.
As Ron entered the entrance he heard sobs coming from the small fire place at the end of the common room. Ron quietly walked closer and whispered Hermione's name as he got closer to the chair she was sitting in. Hermione's sobs started to get quieter and slower.
The common room was lit with soft candle light and the light of the fire dancing along the walls. Ron kneeled in front of Hermione and lifted her face by lifting her chin softly. Hermione pulled her face away, not wanting to look at Ron at this point in time.
"Hermione, please look at me." "I can't." Hermione said softly still looking away from Ron "Hermione please," said Ron softly trying again to get her to look at him, "we need to talk about this."
Hermione jumped from her seat and started pacing in front of the fire while talking nervously, "There is nothing to talk about." "We have a lot to talk about," said Ron as he grabbed Hermione by the arms and said, "We need to talk about what has been happening between us for the last few weeks."
Hermione looked at Ron not sure what to say. Ron took Hermione's face in his hands and looked her in the eyes and said, "We need to talk about our feelings for each other or at least the feelings I have for you if you don't have any for me." Hermione couldn't say it fast enough, "Of course I feel the same about you or at least it depends how you feel about me," said Hermione with a little giggle in the end.
"Well seeing as how we are talking about my feelings I should probably say how I feel," said Ron with a big smile on his face. Hermione looked at him with a serious, nervous look on her face as Ron continued, "I have realised lately that when I think of the future I think of you and I together." Hermione got the biggest smile on her face and listened as Ron continued, "I have been going crazy but lately all I can think about is you. Everything about you makes me smile."
Ron stopped talking and was starting to get uncertain when Hermione didn't say anything. He started to move away but Hermione grabbed his arm when she realised the look of hurt in his eyes.
In the Gryffindor Common Room
"What now," asked Ginny while pacing in front of the fire place Harry couldn't stop thinking; he could not have seen this coming. "We have to do something," shouted Lavender with a sound of regret in her voice. "I agree," said Neville as he jumped from the chair he was sitting in since Ron left.
Ginny stopped pacing when Harry spoke, "We won't do anything. The way I look at it we've done more then enough." "But Harry," said Ginny as Harry started leaving the common room. Ginny ran after him leaving everyone else standing in the common room with shocked looks on their faces. Harry heard Ginny running after him so he stopped near the statue that guarded the office of Professor Dumbledore, their Headmaster. "Harry, we can't just do nothing. We started this so we need to finish it," said Ginny with a flushed face. "Exactly Ginny," yelled Harry with a stern expression on his face, "we interfered in something we did not have the right to interfere in." Harry moved to lean against the wall as Ginny just looked at him.
There was a moment of silence between them and Harry looked over to Ginny and decided to talk to her about something he hasn't spoken to her about before.
"Ginny...," Harry wasn't really sure how to continue with this so he took a moment before saying anything else. "Ginny let's say hypothetically that I were to tell you now that I love you with all my heard," Ginny was shocked, not knowing what to say she just listened to what Harry had to say. "Wouldn't you want to hear it from someone who wants to tell you because he wants to scream it from the rooftops, and not because his friends gave him and you a love potion?"
Ginny knew where Harry was going with this so she sighed and dropped to the floor while leaning against the wall. Harry did the same as Ginny and they sat in more silence till they both knew what to say to each other.
In the prefect common room
Hermione stopped Ron and didn't hesitate when saying, "All I think about is you and I as well," she grabbed his face in her hands and lean in closer and whispered. "Ronald Weasley, I love you with my whole heart and soul and I know for sure that I haven't drunk any love potion." Ron smiled and leaned in even more to feel the soft feel of her lips on his. After kissing her with all the love he had for her he leaned back and smiled while saying, "Well, I know for sure that I love you Hermione Granger, even with all our bickering."
Hermione giggled and relax into his arms as he pulled her into a hug. Ron collapsed into a chair in front of the fire with Hermione still in his arms. "Do you know that this means we went through all of the last few weeks for something that didn't even happen?" "Well it was worth it, just to see Professor McGonagall's face when see heard you and I were an item," said Ron with a big smile as he tightened his hold on Hermione.
Hermione put her arms around Ron's neck giving him another kiss as she said; "The best was when we broke the news to Ginny and Harry that we knew. I think Ginny was ready to collapse." Ron started laughing as he remembered the look on Ginny and Harry's faces when they heard that they knew about the love potion.
"Shame," said Ron looking at the love of his life, "do you think we should go back to the common room and tell them that things are now alright between the two of us?" Hermione smiled and moved closer to Ron and whispered, "We can go later; first I want to spend some time alone with you."
Ron smiled when he heard this and moved forward when Hermione leaned in to kiss him.
Somewhere in Hogwarts
Harry wasn't sure how to tell Ginny what he wanted to say. For the last few weeks he's been growing feelings for her and he knew it wasn't any brother, sister type of feelings.
"Ginny what I'm trying to say is," before Harry could finish his sentence Ginny grabbed his face and kissed him with more emotion Harry has ever felt in his life.
Ginny pulled away and the first thing she did was, was to apologize. Harry was stunned for few seconds and then softly adding, "Why are you um....sorry?" Ginny looked at him and was surprised to see a smile growing on his face. She wasn't really ever sure how Harry felt about her. She sometimes felt that he just saw her as a little sister and nothing more, but seeing the look in his eyes she new he felt more for her.
Harry couldn't stop smiling; he finally was assured that telling Ginny how he feels wouldn't be a total disaster. "Ginny, I'm glad you kissed me. I know now that you have the same feelings for me as I have for you." Ginny didn't move or breathe because she was afraid it might all be a dream.
Harry placed his hands on her face and said, "I'm going to count till five and then I'm going to kiss you, now if you feel you made a mistake earlier then you can stop me before I reach 5."
Harry started counting but Ginny couldn't wait till he reached five so she moved in closer and kissed him again. This time Harry kissed back with as much love as he could.
After about a minute of kissing they pulled apart reluctantly and out of breath. Ginny started laughing all of a sudden. "What?" asked Harry with a strange, worried expression on his face. "I just realised," said Ginny between chuckles, "you're going to have to ask my brother if it's alright with him if we dated." Harry got this strange feeling in the pit of his stomach as reality just hit him of what Ginny said.
Harry stood up slowly and extended his hand to help Ginny up and said, "Well I think there is no time like the present." Ginny stood up slowly, "If you think you can do it then let's go."
Harry didn't let go of Ginny's hand when they headed towards the Gryffindor common room and Ginny had no complaints. When they reached the common room they found that Ron and Hermione still hadn't arrived after they left.
Dean noticed Harry holding Ginny's hand and started yelling, "Way to go Harry!" Seamus and Lavender started clapping when they noticed it too.
"What is with the noise," yelled Ron when he came walking in through the entrance of the Gryffindor tower. Before anyone could say anything Ron and Hermione noticed how close Harry and Ginny where standing.
Harry moved closer to Ron and said, "Mate, we need to talk." Ron smiled and said, "I can see that." Harry and Ron moved to the other side of the room and before they could start talk they heard someone yell at them.
"Hey, So far as we figured it we should be part of the conversation that you tow are about to have." Harry looked over to where Fred and George, Ginny's twin older brother's, where standing.
They moved over to where Ron and Harry was standing. Fred smiled and started pointing at Harry, "If you wish to date our baby sister..." "Hey," yelled Ginny at the comment of her being a baby. "Sorry," Fred while smiling at his sister. "What my partner in crime is trying to say is, that if you wish to date our Younger sister you need to ask our permission first," said George
Harry realised this wasn't going to be easy so he started. The sooner he started the sooner it will all be done. "I have been realising lately that my feelings for Ginny have been growing stronger." Ron started smiling but didn't interrupt Harry's little speech. "This evening we both admitted our feelings to each other..." Harry paused and looked over to a smiling Hermione and continued with what he was saying, "We both feel the same love for each other and I hope I'll have your blessing in dating your sister."
Harry stood there waiting for an answer when the three Weasley brothers said, "NO". Harry was so hocked he didn't know what to say. Suddenly they heard a yell from the other corner of the room. The 4 of them looked over to see Ginny and Hermione heading their way. Hermione had a look of confusion on her face when she stood next to Ron and looked over at the three brothers.
"Relax." said the twins, Fred grabbed Ginny and gave her a hug while saying, "Do you think mom will really let us off the hook for denying Harry the chance of dating you. She already sees him as a son and we see him as a brother so hey, if you one day want make it official you won't be hearing any complaints from us." Harry and Ginny smiled at this but then Harry looked over to Ron, "Hey mate, you haven't really said anything." Ron smiled and said, "It's alright with me if you date Ginny, as long as you don't hurt her." Harry put his arm around Ginny's shoulder and said, "I promise I won't be hurting her."
Fred and George smiled at this and then turned to look at Hermione. "What", said Hermione feeling nervous under their glare. "Well my dear," said George with an evil smile on his face. "Don't think your getting away with going out with our younger brother without promising us something" Hermione wasn't sure what they wanted so she just listened. "We need to make sure we still get enough gifts come our birthday." "What," said Hermione shocked. "Well, just because you're a couple now we don't want to receive one gift from you and Ron. We want two each."
Hermione started laughing and said, "Sure" Fred hugged Hermione and then George. "Hey," yelled Ron. Everyone started laughing and took their seats in front of the fire. Hermione was sitting with Ron, Ginny with Harry. After talking for a while the girls said goodnight and went upstairs.
Of course no one went to bed. The girls were up most of the night talking about everything that has happened in the last few weeks.
Headmaster Office
"Well Minerva," said Professor Dumbledore to Professor McGonagall, "it seems there are quite a few new chances happening in the school."
"I'm not sure if it's such a good thing." Said Professor McGonagall "Trust me, it's all for the best" "If you say so Albus, if you say so."
The Professors smiled at each other knowing the future could only hold good things for their favourite student's.
