Thank you for all your lovely reviews! I only noticed after I posted that my spell check had changed the words auror to aura and changed Seamus to Shamus because I have it saved to the computer like that sorry!
I'm having way to much fun writing this fic , I keep getting told of for neglecting some of my other's !
But anyway on with the story that's what you want right.
As ever: only the plot is mine, oh and the character Hydiki who's straight out of one of my own story's.
Harry rubbed his cheek , it wasn't that he wasn't enjoying all the attention that everyone was giving him on his birthday, it was more the fact that he couldn't understand why so many girls insisted on kissing him on the cheek.
" you don't mind if I don't kiss you do you Harry?" joked Shamus as he shook Harry's hand.
Harry laughed.
" I don't mind but I think Neville might insist on it" he said nodding over at Neville who was busy getting the exact same treatment over on the other side of the court yard.
Krum laughed deeply .
"that was funny" he said nodding at Harry.
"Harry's a funny sort of guy" said Ginny smiling over the top of the fountain that she was busy trying to mend.
Krum made his excuses and went of in search of Hermione. Ginny wandered over to Harry's side, not that she was rarely away from their theses days.
"wonder how Ron's going to take the arrival of Krum?" she asked.
" probably going to totally over react"
" good I could do with some entertainment" said Ginny grinning menacingly.
"wonder what they were talking about with tonks last night" Harry said as he levitated the last part of the fountain back in to place.
" I don't know but it looked serious" said Ginny.
The two of them stood back to observe their handy work.
" I AM NOT OVER REACTING" came the voice of Ron as he wheeled himself in to the court yard followed shortly by Hermione , who was looking a little red in the face.
"I am not going to fight with you hear and now Ron"
" funny it never used to bother you who heard our arguments, what changed"
Hermione stood their looking a bit like a fish.
Around the court yard all eyes were on them, no one felt bad about overseeing Weasley , granger fights, it wasn't like you were ever really hearing anything different to the arguments that most of the school hadn't been witness to a million times before.
Harry and Ginny positioned themselves on the wall of the newly fixed fountain ready for the show.
But it didn't come.
Hermione turned on her heals and left. Ron sat glaring at the wall.
" we'll that's never happened before" Ginny said turning to Harry.
"should we go see if he's ok ?" Harry said looking over at his best friend.
"leave him" said Ginny pulling Harry back down on to the fountain. " he's got to learn that shouting isn't going to work things out between the two of them"
Harry shrugged . What could he do ? Ron could never control his jealousy , that was one of the things that made him Ron .
"come on lets go get a drink" said Ginny grabbing him by the arm and away from Ron.
Hermione slammed the door to the girls bathroom and kicked the sink.
"it only works if you do that weird hissing noise that Harry makes" offered moaning myrtle as she floated absentmindedly above the cubicle nearest the door.
" I don't want to go in that place" said Hermione jumping slightly.
" oh just wondering" said myrtle.
Hermione wished she would stop staring at her.
" what you doing here anyway , isn't it the school holidays?"
" were fixing the school up, the death eaters destroyed it"
" oh is that what all that noise was ?"
"you didn't see it?"
" I was in the lake…"
"but I thought you only ended up in the lake if someone flushed the toilet ? No one ever comes in here"
" oh that 's right, myrtle's got no friends has she."
" that's not what I meant"
" I know" said myrtle "but I wasn't here , I was in the prefects bathroom, trying to scare that cow pansy Parkinson"
Hermione laughed in spite of herself.
" did it work?"
" of course" myrtle said giving Hermione an uncharacteristic smile.
" thanks myrtle"
" what for?"
" cheering me up , I just had a fight with Ron"
" you and Ron fight? Never"
" was that sarcasm?" asked Hermione.
" it was meant to be , I was never very good at it, what did you fight about this time?"
"Krum"
" oh. " said myrtle in a knowing voice. "I see"
Hermione rubbed her temples she could feel a nasty headache coming on .
"recon theirs any room in your toilet for me ?" asked Hermione hopelessly.
" sorry reserved for Harry I'm afraid"
Their was knock at the door.
"see who that is will you?" Hermione asked myrtle, who absentmindedly floated through the wall, on her return she whistled.
"red headed man at one o'clock" she said smiling.
" Ron ?"
" it's not Ron, not unless he's completely changed since last time is seen him"
" is he in wheel chair"
Myrtle shook her head.
Hermione cautiously walked towards the door and opened it .
" I hear theirs a tree that need's payback" said a exhausted looking Fred Weasley .
They had stood around and watched as Fred threw the last remaining branches of the now dead willow tree on to the fire.
Angelina walked over and placed a hand on his shoulder.
No one was quite sure what to say.
Fred's sudden arrival had thrown a few people especially Ron who now sat alone across from his brother watching the embers of the fire floating in to the air.
Hermione wanted to go over and tell the two of them it was all right they were aloud to cry , but neither Hermione or Angelina , quite knew what to say to them.
So they sat on the old dead wood from the forest and waited till they were ready to leave.
"Hermione?" said Krum sitting down next to her on the log.
Hermione smiled at him weakly.
"are you sure you can 'andle this?" he asked her.
"victor you know how I feel about this" Hermione said quietly but Angelina was listening,
" it's hard work being part of the Weasley family"
"trust me I know that"
"you love him don't you ?" asked Krum nodding at Ron.
Hermione stared at the fire for while before answering.
"I can't tell anymore, he infuriates me so much"
"but that's what keeps it interesting" said Angelina sighing as she watched Fred poking at the fire.
"or at least it was, I don't know what he's going to be like without George, it's going to be weird, even when I was alone with Fred he was always still connected with George"
"Ginny still cry's at night you know" said Hermione as she watched Ron look over and scowl at victor.
" she's not the only one, the Weasley's were like my family, are like my family, I just wish Ron would talk about it with me"
They sat in silence Krum made his excuses and left, leaving Angelina and Hermione alone.
"you have to tell him you know, I mean about how you feel" Angelina said as Fred started pushing Ron back towards the castle.
"we've got plenty of time, I mean I'm going to be living with him right."
"your what ? Since when?"
Hermione smiled, and shrugged.
"it's out of convenience , we have to be in London for our auror training"
"your …? Hermione you have a lot to fill me in on"
After a quick catch up Angelina smiled.
" he 'told' you , you were going to live together"
Hermione nodded,
Angelina grinned. "if that's not a sign that he wants you I don't know what is."
Hermione blushed.
"oh come on everyone knows you like each other, George was running a bet on when you would confess"
" that sounds like George"
The two of them looked down the path to where Fred and Ron were walking ahead of them.
"that family need some good news"
"I'm not rushing anything with Ron ok."
" Hermione your just scared because it's something you cant learn from a book, for once take a chance, don't you ever get sick of being perfect?"
"come on you two catch up" shouted Fred over his shoulder.
"his master beckons" Angelina. And she ran to catch the two of them up.
Hermione was left with the words of Angelina ringing in her ears.
But at least she had accomplished something today, no longer was victor the only person who knew how she felt about Ron , Angelina now knew, maybe being able to share it was the first step in actualy doing something about it.
