(A/N: Since I seriously doubt Ron would be in the Girls' Dorm I'm Making it Jessie's PoV for this section only. MD) After I was finished with all my classes I walked back to the Girls' Dorm where one of the girls was showing off a ring some boy gave her. I wasn't going to tell her, but I had seen a girl in each house wearing the same ring from the same boy. I tossed my stuff casually down on the bed. I had an astronomy paper due on Friday on my favorite and least favorite constellation. I pulled out a parchment and quill and started listing possible topics; I had a quill that wrote whatever I was thinking about: Possible Topics: Hogsmeade Taurus Scorpio Ron Orion's belt Big dipper Friday Little dipper LOVE
When I read over it I realized I'd listed 4 things that weren't constellations. "What's this?" asked one of the girls snatching my paper. "Hey give that back!" "Make me!" she yelled back. She was only 4 foot 5 so, I stood up. I didn't think it would take her long to give it back, since she didn't even come up to my elbow. "Now, I'll say it one more time: Give that back!" "Aww! Come on Jess! Lay off, her!" Hermione said coming over and snatching the paper from the girl, "I mean it's not like there's anything personal on it." Ha! She couldn't be more wrong! Hermione and I had become sort of friends, not really secret telling friends but closer than we were on our first day, we had a whole lot in common. She had talked to me during my first class telling me Ron had told her to talk to me. "And to prove that," she continued, breaking me out of my thoughts, "I'll read it out loud." and she did! By the time she was finished all the girls were staring wide eyed at me. "Jess, I-" Hermione started. "Thanks a lot Hermione!" I grabbed my list and running into the common room. I dropped down on the couch stretched all the way across it. I thought Hermione was my friend! I couldn't believe that she would do that too me! Then again, she didn't know what I had written! As if this couldn't get worse, Ron walked down the stairs! "Hey Jess! What's wrong, kiddo?" He asked moving my feet and sitting down. "Oh, Ron!" and I told him the entire story. I expected him to laugh at me for getting so mad, but he just sat there looking me straight in the eyes. "Lord! You do have the most beautiful eyes!" He said smiling. "Ron! Did you even hear what I said?" I asked laughing, that was the best thing about Ron he made me laugh, no matter what. "Yup! Every single bloomin' word! You were thinking about Friday huh?" he asked me. "Yeah I guess I was." Harry came bounding down the stairs with a package just as Hermione came bounding down from the Girls' dorm. The crashed into each other causing Harry's package to land right in my lap! "Hey! Harry Watch where you are going!" "Why don't you!" Harry and Hermione were sprawled out on the landing yelling at each other. "Whoa, whoa, whoa, hold it! Why are you two arguing?" I asked them when they stopped to take a breath. "He/She ran into me! I did not! Yes you did!" they both yelled at the same time. Then started arguing again. "Guys! What's the problem? I can fix this quickly: Harry apologize to Hermione and Hermione you apologize to Harry," I said looking at them both fixedly, "NOW!" it didn't take too long for them to apologize and I didn't even have to get up. "So Potter, what's in the package? New Quidditch Uniforms?" Ron asked, after the apologizing was done. "I dunno. It's for you." "It must be from mom." "Can I open it?" I asked. It was still laying in my lap. "Sure, I don't care." He replied shrugging. I opened the box, to find another smaller box, then another, and so on. When I finally opened the last box I saw a beautiful deep blue velvet box. Next to the box there was a note, "Can I read the note?" "As long as you read it out loud." Ron replied. I opened the note and began reading, it said: "Dear Ron, This Engagement ring has been in our family for years. I offered it to Percy to give to the give to Penelope; he refused it, then to Gorge and Fred, they to refused it. I hope you won't. When you wrote home about Jessie Snow, I decided it was time to offer it to you. I let Fred and Gorge wrap this, I hope that wasn't a bad idea. So that's why there were so many boxes! Oh, well. Your father and I send you love and we hope to meet this Jessie of yours soon. Mom. Oh, Ron this ring is beautiful!" I said, not at all lying! The stone was deep blue with a pale blue rim around it, like my eyes. I handed it to Hermione. "Oh, Ron the pale blue stone is magnificent!" Pale blue? What was she talking about? She handed it to Harry. "Herm, what are you talking about the stone is green!" Green? Wait a second! "I know what this is! It's a Chameleon Ring! It matches the eyes of the holder and fits to the size of the finger, no matter what." I had read about it in a magazine that a girl had a Beauxbaxtons, "These cost a lot of money." "Yeah I bet." Ron replied. "Harry, won't this look magnificent on Ron?" I asked giving Harry a half grin. "Ha! Ha! Very funny Jessie." Ron said grinning his stupid half grin. "Jess, you've been hanging out with Ron too much! You've got his grin!" Harry said smiling. "No I don't!" I replied. How stupid could he be! That was impossible! Ron and I having the same grin! HA! "Oh, Jessie! It's true!" Hermione said, laughing. I looked at Ron and we were both still grinning. It's true: we did have the same grin! We all burst into laughter! ~*~ (A/N: Back to Ron's PoV. I've only mentioned Quidditch once in this entire story, so get ready to hear about it more! Harry and Ron are co-captains, looking for a second beater because the old one was hit in the head with a bludger and quit the team.) Harry and I got up bright and early. It was the day before the first Quidditch match and we still didn't have a second beater. I was the first beater, and Seamus used to the other one, but he was hit in the head with a bludger and quit the team. Harry and I searched all summer for a new beater, but we didn't have one! We were going to try one last time, today, and if we couldn't find another beater Gryffindor wouldn't be able to compete in the tournament! I was standing at the mirror trying to fix the wad of red stuff I call hair, when Hermione burst into our room. "Where is she?" she said coming in, running over to my bed looking under it, in it and all around it. "Where's who Herm?" "Jessie, numb skull!" "Well, what makes you think she's here? And especially in MY BED?" "Oh, really Ron! Lavender and Parvati told me all about Divindation." "So that still doesn't explain it." "RON!" "Herm, there are no girls in here, except you and Dean's Girlfriend or fiancé or whatever she is, but she's ALWAYS HERE. Now, what makes you think she'd be here anyway?" "Well, she's not in our dorm, she's not in the common room, she'd not in the bathroom, so this was the only place left." "She's not here ok?" "I figured as much, but I-" Hermione stopped and pointed at the window I turned around to see a girl on a broom, with a tye-dye t-shirt and ripped jeans, with medium blonde hair pulled back into a pony tail. It was Jessie alright! I ran to the window and opened it. "Jess, what are you doing out here?" "Practicing." After she said that a bludger came straight for her. She lifted her stick and hit it; it went clear over the Quidditch field. I was finding more and more out about her everyday! "You are a beater?" I was dumbfounded. "And a really good one at that," said Harry, who had apparently come out of the bathroom. "Thank you, Harry. And yes, Ron I am a beater. My best friend and I organized a summer league for Quidditch for the wizards and witches in our neighborhood, about two years ago. I haven't been able to practice, because the field was a mess, but someone cleaned it up." "Yeah, me," I said. It had taken me 3 ½ hours to clean the field yesterday, so we could have tryouts today. "Well, why'd you do that?" she asked me. "We are having tryouts today for a new beater." "Great! Count me in!" "We sure will! You take the 11:00 spot okay?" "Okay! See you then, Toodle pip!" with that she sped off on her broom. "RON! What did you do that for? She's perfect; I want her on the team!" "So do I Harry, but we need to see everyone. I gave her the last spot so everyone would be there to hear the name announced, and see her." ~*~ After the first three people tried out, and had to be taken to the hospital wing, I decided that Jessie was our last hope. The next two weren't bad on a broom, but when trying to protect the fake Harry that Hermione had made that bobbed and darted they were awful! Instead of hitting it away from Harry they hit it straight for him! Finally, it was 11 o'clock! When Harry yelled "NEXT!" Jessie picked up her broom. "Now, Miss Snow, what kind of broom is that?" I asked very professionally "A Delonda 2007," she replied, equal professional tone. "Best broom there is. Now please mount and show me what you've got. As you can see there is a fake Harry Potter in the middle. Protect him from getting hit with the bludger. GO!" I know what she's got, and it was good! She was magnificent; in the 20minutes everyone got, she blocked the fake Harry 50 times, blocked the real Harry and myself 25 times. When she was done she landed and all of the people who tried out burst into applause. "We will announce the new beater for this season in 5 minutes so please sit on the grass, and have some lemonade. Hermione had made some of this muggle drink this morning for us to use today. Even though she didn't like or understand Quidditch all that much, she still supported us, because we were her friends. Harry and I discussed the tryouts quietly in a corner, "Ron, Jessie is by far the best." "I know, but we still have to consider everyone else." We stood in silence for about 10 seconds then I said, "Well, I've considered all possibilities." "Yes me too." "Jessie?" "Jessie." We nodded and walked back out. "Everyone, Harry and I have discussed it have come to the conclusion that Miss Snow will be our new beater! Thank you all for trying out and better luck next year!" The crowd left and Jessie came down to meet us. "Thank you. When does practice start?" Jessie asked. "Right now I said grabbing my broom from the chair and flying as high up as I possibly could. Harry and Jessie hopped on their brooms also, and sped after me. I had the Delonda 2007, it was a Birthday present from Harry, and Hermione had gotten Harry one. Jessie caught up with me and Harry was right behind her. "Harry, you go get the rest of the team and we'll be here. I want to show Jessie a few tricks." "Okay Ron, but no funny business." Harry said grinning and then sped off back to the Gryffindor Tower. "Thank you for the position, Ron. I just hope you didn't pick me because we are friends." "No, you were the best. Now, about those tricks, tomorrow we play Slytherin. They have a sneaky, stupid, and downright mean team. I believe you know their seeker, Malfoy?" "Oh, great! I get to play against my stupid cousin! Is it illegal to aim a bludger?" "Nope." "Good." "Now, their team cheats, like nobody's business! So knock as many people off of the brooms as possible. They'll try and hurt our best players: Dean, Harry, and our keeper herself Miss Ginny Weasley. Dean is our main scorer, Harry's the seeker, and if there's no keeper, you can score so they try to take Gin out early. We need to watch all of our team members. Can I count on you to help me?" "Apsotively Postutely!" "Good, now." I proceeded to show her some tricks to block a player or to hit one. I hit the bludger to the right and told her to pretend there was a player right there. She sped off after it and hit it back to me, and then I back to her, we did this until I missed one. We both sped after it I accidentally hit her broom and she fell. I quickly put my broom in full force and raced after her. I grabbed her hand just about 7 feet from the ground. I pulled her up onto my lap. "Oh my god!" I was waiting for her to start yelling at me, "Let's do that again!" "What?!?" "That was soo much fun! The wind in your face, the force, the thrill, the rush of adrenaline! OH MAN!" she said flailing her arms. "Jessie! How can plummeting to your death be fun?" I asked in disbelief. "It is when I know Mr. Ronald Weasley will catch me!" she said saluting me.
"Well, it wasn't fun for me!" "Not even a little bit?" she said with a hand motion. "No!"
"Yeesh! Have you no respect for fun?" she said pouting. "No, I guess I don't. If you have so much fun in falling why don't I let you fall the rest of the way?" "You wouldn't." "Yes I would." I slightly tipped my broom forward to where Jessie was sliding off the front. "Ron!" She yelled looking up at me, and held tighter around my neck. I jerked my broom back up, "Not so much fun anymore is it?" "No, not really, you wouldn't really drop me? Would you?" "Yes I would have. I've done it before." "To who?" "Ginny, she was laughing about how fun it would be to fall off of a broom, so I knocked her off of hers. Of course I was punished for a year, but it was worth it." "Oh, Ron! Where'd my broom go?" "I think it's still up there I don't know." Jessie lifted two fingers to her mouth and whistled as loud as possible. Her broom sped down to her, "How did you do that?" "A spell so your broom will come when you call." "Oh," I realized that she was still on my lap; I turned red and helped her back onto her broom. "Thank you Mr. Weasley." "My pleasure Miss Snow." Her broom suddenly jumped putting her right back in my lap. Her face was so close to mine I could feel her breath near my mouth. We both leaned in as if pulled by gravity, our lips touched for an instant, then our rest of the team joined us, we both turned red, and we had practice as usual. Jessie really was a good beater, one of the best in my opinion, but my opinion was prejudice, I think I'm starting to get a crush on her! ~*~
