A/N: Hey everyone! Thanks for all the reviews! Here's chapter twelve! Hope you enjoy! Read and review! Thanks.

Alexandra5: Thanks Christine. I know I have a problem with grammar. Lol I always miss it when I go back and check the chapters. I'll try to be better about that now that you have pointed it out. Thank you for the help, and I'm glad that my atrocious grammar doesn't deter you from enjoying my story! Lol

Writer By Nature: Yes! Finally someone realized what He Who Shall Remain Nameless is from! I too LOVE those books. I think I have read them both more than five times each. Lol I did know about the third book. When I first found out, I flipped. Lol But thank you for reading my story, and I'm glad you like it! :)

Rei Sakura Li: Haha thank you so much! I'm glad the story makes you want to laugh. Lol Most of the writing in do is early in the morning, so I know what it's like to have my head chopped off for being loud. Lol

Transatlanticism: I'm glad you don't think my story is crappy! That would suck. Lol Death Cab is simply amazing. They came to Atlanta and I was so pissed because I didn't get to go see them. And what sucked even worse, is that they played with Rilo Kiley, who I also love, so they did a few Postal Service songs. That was one concert that I was extremely sad that I missed. But I really like your story! Keep writing because I think it's really good and interesting so far. I want to see what happens next! Lol but thanks for your review!

Future Mrs. Radcliffe: Haha that line I almost didn't put in, but I'm glad that I did. Hmm truth or dare. Interesting. I might just do that. We shall see. Lol

ElizabethMM: Oh man that sucks. Well I think you're funny. :) Though I can relate because I get informed by some of my friends that I'm not funny either. I'll be all hyper and everything, and my friends will be like shut up weirdo. Lol I shall tell my friend that you adore her. Lol I have so many a funny story with her. The other day I was at her house and she was so hyper and she was like running through a field and doing crappy cartwheels, it was great. Lol

lizzie5555555: Haha well Ron is going to do some damage in this chapter. Lol :)

Wonkeyfaint28: Thank you! And it's all right that you didn't review last chapter, because you usually always do. I won't hold it against you this time. Lol Thanks for saying Ginny is funny, cause it still makes me smile whenever I hear that!

JediPirateElfyDude: Ah I'm so glad that it kept you laughing! Here's the update, hope you enjoy it! :)

blink girl017: Haha well Ginny is a little ditzy. Lol Good I'm so glad that you don't think Harry is acting weird, because that is one of my biggest fears. Oh man Happy Belated Birthday! Hope it was a great one!

DarkFlower2113: I'm so glad this chapter was one of your favorites! For once I did like the way I ended it, and I'm glad that you did too! Yeah I definitely didn't want to do the clichéd "let's make out in the bathroom thing" because I did that in my last story and I wasn't proud of it, and I didn't want to do it again. Have not yet read the Bridgit Jones's Diary books. I have wanted to for a ling time, but everytime I go to the bookstore I always forget to pick them up. So this time I will definitely do that! Haha that awesome that is makes you giggle like a small child. Lol Thanks so much for your review! Yours are always long and wonderful!

Athena Carlow: Dude it's completely okay that your story is named that. I don't mind at all, and can't wait to read it! But thank you so much for the heads up Kayla! :)

Maraudergrl99: Thanks so much! That was really sweet of you to read and review when you had major headaches. Believe me I know exactly how you feel. I used to get an intense migraine everyday last year. Now I just get a slight headache every day. I'm glad you loved last chapter and I hope you enjoy this one just as much!

Black Cherrie: Oh man, I've had the walking in one thing happen to me so many times. It's always so embarrassing. I would be humiliated out of my mind if someone walked in on my while in the bath without bubbles. People coming in without knocking are so rude. I'm glad you like how it's progressing, and I hope you'll like how it finishes! Thank you for the review! :)

OExpecto PatronumO: I love adding the grinning stupidly thing to the story. And there will be lots more of that to come. Lol Harry is growing up. No more pinching his cheeks and saying how cute he is. Lol

milky way bar: Haha here's the update! Hope you like it! :)

And thanks to actionmaster and The Flying Moose, you guys are awesome!

I returned a few minutes later dressed in my sweat pants and a tee shirt. I took it upon myself to take the seat right next to Harry. He grinned at me again, and I returned it. Ron and Harry started playing chess, and I sat there calling out moves with them both trying to shut me up. And there we all sat with the fire flickering behind us, laughing and talking late into the night.

Chapter Twelve: Apologies and Misunderstandings

September 16th 2004, 12:09 pm

I'm not quite sure what to do. This morning Harry came running up to me, shouting my name.

"Ginny! Ginny! Wait up!"

I spun around to face him.

"What is it Harry? Is something wrong?" I asked starting to get worried

"Oh no. Nothing's wrong. I just wanted to see if maybe you wanted to come out for Quidditch this year. We lost all our best players to graduation, and I've heard from your brothers that you're a good Chaser."

"Well Harry, I hate to break it to you but I'm not that good."

"Oh come on Gin. Just try." He said pleadingly and making a puppy dog face

"Well I guess it couldn't hurt." I said with a slight smile even thought inside I was dreading it.

"Thanks Gin." Harry said with an enormous grin.

He then leaned over and kissed my cheek quickly, blushing profusely.

"I've got to rush off to Potions but thanks again Ginny!" He said while hurrying away with a smile and a deep blush on his face.

I stood there in the middle of the corridor while students were hastening by. My hand reached up to touch the spot where Harry had kissed me. I stood there in a daze for a minute, smiling at nothing.

"Ginny!" someone was shouting my name again.

I turned around and saw Ron. You can't miss his tall gangly thinness and his undeniably prominent nose.

"What was that?" Ron asked sounding annoyed.

"What was what?" I replied, not knowing what he was talking about.

"Is my mind playing tricks on me, or did I just see Harry kiss you?" He asked sounding even more perturbed.

"Oh Jesus Ron. He kissed me on the bloody cheek! It's not like he went in for the kill!" I exclaimed loudly. People turned and looked at me strangely.

"What are all you people looking at? Huh?" I yelled, by now thoroughly infuriated.

Everyone looked frightened and went back to talking amongst themselves.

"It doesn't matter Ginny! He still touched you!" Ron yelled his face red as his hair.

"He's your best damn mate! You'd think you would be a little more lenient!"

"I don't care who he is! I don't want him touching you. You're just a baby!"

"I AM NOT A CHILD RONALD WEASLEY, AND YOU WILL NOT TELL ME WHAT TO DO!" I screamed at the top of my lungs.

"I'll do what I want!" He bellowed back.

"Oh no you won't! I can fend for myself thanks! I've had enough of this moronic conversation." I said acidly.

And with that I walked away, but not before turning around and shouting some choice words his way. He was so shocked his mouth was hanging open. Very unattractively. I wanted to slam it shut. Oh that's right, I did. I stomped back over to him, slammed his mouth shut with my hands, and then stormed away for the last time. That's when people began clapping. The only ones who weren't were the Slytherins of course. I curtsied and sauntered off, feeling as if a huge weight had been lifted off my shoulders. Serves Ron right. The insensitive dolt. How dare he? Does he actually think that he can control me like that? If he does, he is sadly mistaken. He is going to wish that he never messed with me. I may not be a bitch, at least not until provoked. And he certainly provoked me all right! So he better watch out. He won't know what's hit him.

6:57 pm

I've decided to definitely go out for Quidditch. Ron's the keeper and I can't wait to see the stupid look on his face when I get the Quaffle right by him. I'm going to laugh so hard. I can't wait to rub it all in his face. If I can do it that is. I hope I can. I have to admit that I am a little better Chaser than most, but I'm not one to brag or get cocky about it. I just hope I don't suck immensely and completely embarrass myself. I informed Harry at dinner that I would definitely be trying out.

"Hey Harry?"

"Yeah Gin?"

"I'm most definitely going out for Quidditch."

"Great!" he said with a giant grin on his face.

Then Ron had to interject.

"Harry, I wouldn't suggest that. She's the worst Chaser I've ever seen."

"Hmm. And this is coming from the worst Keeper in Hogwarts history. What were the words to Weasley Is Our King again? I replied sharply.

Ron turned bright red, and responded.

"You'll shut your mouth if you know what's good for you!" He yelled, angry and embarrassed.

"And what are you going to do? Beat me up?" I replied mockingly while chuckling.

"Maybe...Maybe I will." He said stumbling over his words.

I almost felt bad for him. Until he had to open his big mouth.

"Do you actually think Harry would let you on the team. Just because you're throwing yourself at him and acting like some kind of whore, doesn't mean he actually likes you." He said cruelly.

I felt hot tears well up in my eyes and I didn't think I could say anything. So I did the only thing that came to mind. I slapped him across the face. Hard. Then I tore out of my chair and ran out of the Great Hall. And I came here, to the library. I didn't want anyone to chase after me, and find me in the common room. I hate him. I really do. I can't believe he would say a thing like that to me. Fighting is one thing, but saying a thing like that when he knew how much it would hurt me is completely different. I don't know how I will be able to face Harry. I'm so humiliated I can't even begin to put it into words. It's war now. Ron is so dead.

10:05 pm

Thank god for Harry Potter. Really. He is the most amazing boy to ever walk this earth. After an hour or so in the library I was exhausted, and just wanted to go sleep. So I walked back to the common room hoping no one would be there. The portrait swung open, and I could see Harry and Hermione both yelling at Ron.

"How dare you say something like that to her?" Hermione screamed, red in the face.

"That was completely out of line Ron! She is not throwing herself at me! We're friends!" Harry shouted, anger flashing in his eyes.

I instantly felt a little better knowing my friends were standing up for me. Meanwhile Ron was just standing there not saying a word. Suddenly Harry turned around and noticed me.

"Ginny." He said his eyes still blazing

I flipped out silently and ran up the stairs. I tore through the door and collapsed down onto my bed. I began to cry into my pillow quietly. Suddenly I heard a knock on the door. Sitting up and wiping my eyes harshly I croaked a response.

"Come in."

Harry entered the room and cautiously walked over to my bed. He sat down lightly, as if shy to be sitting on my bed, and then turned to me. We stared at each other in silence for a moment, until Harry spoke.

"Ginny I'm so sorry. I don't think that about you at all, and I hope you can believe that. Ron is being a bastard and I feel like socking him in the face. You're my friend and you mean a lot to me. More than just a friend actually." He said softly.

I drew in a sharp breath and he continued. Maybe he really would say the words I've wanted to hear.

"You're much more than just a simple friend. Over these weeks you have become one of my best friends and I'm so glad for that." He said with a smile. My insides deflated.

"Thanks Harry." I said quietly, returning his smile as best as I could.

Harry hugged me and kissed my forehead. Feeling brave, I kissed his cheek for the second time that week. He grinned widely and hugged me again. Then without a word he stood up. Harry strode over to the door, paused, shot me one last smile and left the room. I smirked to myself and collapsed back onto my bed. Except this time, everything was okay. At least with Harry. And I certainly don't have a problem with Hermione. I have to remember to thank her for standing up for me. But Ron. Ron is still is huge trouble, and I'm still furious with him. In fact, I think it's time I sent Mum a letter.

A/N: There you have it. Ron being a complete ass. He's going to have to learn to shape up. lol But I hope you liked this chapter! Read and Review! Thanks!
