Chapter 16

"Ginny! My god are you all right I just got your owl," Hermione heard a man exclaimed. Hermione leaned close to the sitting room door.

"It's Ron! He is so pathetic! Just because you're a slytherin he thinks that your evil!" Ginny cried out.

Hermione opened the door and saw Ginny crying in Blaise's arms.

"Don't worry about it gin. We got each other and that's all that matter. Your brother just needs to grow up." Ginny cried into Blaise's shirt "I love you" he whispered in to her hair and he kissed Ginny's tears off her cheek.

"Hey everyone," Hermione gave a foolish wave from the sitting room door, she took at seat on the one seater sofa and Ginny and Blaise sat on the three seater one.

"Hey 'mione," sniffed Ginny.

"Oh gin don't worry about Ron! He's just being stupid!"

"I will not let him make my life horrid like he did yours at hogwarts just because his prejudice," Ginny stretched out and lay her head upon Blaise's lap while he stroked her hair.

"Can you stay with us tonight Blaise? Please? It's Christmas and I would really like you around as well as Hermione, you can share my room if you want. Just please don't leave." Hermione hated this; Ginny sounded so desperate not her usual up beat and optimistic self.

"I would never leave you," Blaise bent down and kissed Ginny's lips softly.

Hermione smiled. She wanted to be with Draco more than ever. She felt alone and empty without him.

"She said she loved me! What am I going to say? I love her well she knows that. Want her to share my surname, Have lots of sex and babies," Draco looked out his window and an idea struck him; "MOTHER!"

Narcissa walked into the room, "Yes my dear?"

"I need your help so much. You remember that girl Hermione don't you."

"Yes."

"Well she told me she loved me and I love her just as much back. How am I going to ask her to marry me mother?"

"What have I done? Ginny won't talk to me and now Hermione is gone too. I am so so so stupid!" Ron downed his third beer, Harry patted his back.

"It's all right mate. They'll forgive you. Trust me"

Tom came up to then and gave them a toothless grin. "It's Christmas! What you two sitting in a pub with a lonely sod like me?"

"Family argument." Answered Ron.

"Ah... what was it about if it's not too bold to ask"

"I didn't want my sister to marry a man from slytherin so I lost my temper and she won't even talk to me"

"I was once like that. My sister was engaged to a man from the Gryffindor house. I was a slytherin so I wouldn't allow it and she ran away. I never saw her again. My wife and children died in the war 25 years ago and that's how I became the lonely sod who owns the leaky cauldron," Tom gave Ron a glass of vodka and gave him a wink; "this ones on the house."

"Thanks," mumbled Ron.

"I didn't know you were in slytherin!" Harry exclaimed.

"Aye I was very proud too. I hated muggles and muggleborns, but when my sister left I finally grew up but I was too late for her. I myself married a Gryffindor muggle born after that and my parents fought for 'he who must not be named' and I was disowned because they saw me as a disgrace to the family."

Harry looked at him and smiled sadly and then pushed Ron off his tool, "come on!"

"What!"

"We have to see Ginny and Hermione and you are going to apologise weather you like it or not you stubborn git."

"Fine, Thanks for the drink tom."

"Anytime gentlemen, You have yourself a good Christmas."

"Thank you too tom" replied harry

The door rang at Victoria house Mayfair and Blaise zambini answered the door.

"Is Ginny in?" asked Harry Potter with a grumpy looking Ronald weasley behind him.

"If you're here to upset her you can both forget it!" Blaise shouted.

Hermione woke up to the sound of shouting, She put on a robe and ran to the front door were she saw a very heated argument between harry and Blaise while Ron was trying to trying to keep his temper in check behind him.

"Blaise? What's going on?" asked Hermione

"Weasley and potter here want to shout at Ginny, again"

"R ON!" harry shouted.

Ron had jumped on Blaise and was giving him Punches in face.

"INPEDIMENTA!" Ron froze and fell back while Ginny ran to Blaise and started kissing his face saying how sorry she was. She turned to harry, "bring him in we are sorting this once and for all!" Harry dragged the stunned Ron in to the sitting Ron and lay him down on the sofa.

"Finite incantartem," Ron rolled off the sofa.

"Now you are going to tell me what is your god dam problem!"

"I actually came here to apologise but-"

"Do it right now then! Apologise to me, Hermione and then Blaise for punching him for no good reason at all and then tell me exactly what the hell is your problem!"

"I'm sorry 'mione I'm sorry Ginny and I'm sorry for punching you Blaise."

"Good. EXPLAIN RIGHT NOW!" she screamed.

"Fine, I just got scared ok. That my little baby sister and my best friend." He glanced at Hermione, "were going to be taken away from me and that would have broken my heart"

Ginny's face softened up completely while Blaise rolled his eyes; 'corny' he mouthed at Hermione, "Oh Ron" Ginny said in unison and hugged him "I forgive you"

"Thank you." Ron held her tighter, "I just don't wan to lose you like we almost lost you 'mione."

"You'll never lose me. Never."

"Ron, parvita will be getting worried about you come on it's time to go." Harry helped Ron off the sofa.

"Well bye Ginny, mione and Blaise." Ron put his hand out and Blaise gladly shook it "take care of my little sis."

"I will," Blaise replied with and Ron and harry disappeared with a crack.
