Ok, it was one thing to find out that your best friends knew about your secret boyfriend, who just happened to be their arch enemy, but I was a completely different story when your brother heard the news for the first time… or rather saw it with his own eyes.

Now this was the part of the story where things got MAJORLY out of hand.

'What the FUCK!" Ron raged.

"Please… Ron….I can explain…"

"What the hell are you doing with THAT!"

"HEY!"

By this point, Ginny was now standing beside her brother, his arm grasped in hers, trying to get him to look at her, instead of throwing the oh so evil death glare in Draco's current direction.

Ginny expected this kind of reaction from her brother. Back in her 5th year when he had found out that Colin Creevey had the tinniest of crushes on her, he threatened to curse his family jewels off, so reproduction was made impossible.

And that was just Colin.

Now we were talking Draco. No not Draco. Malfoy… Rons enemy.

"Let me repeat myself. What are you doing with HIM!"

"Ron, Please-"

"TELL ME!"

"Hey" Draco steeped forward and in between Ron and Ginny. "Don't raise your voice to her, you inbred."

"Draco, please. Maybe… maybe you better leave."

"No. No Ginny. I want to hear what you two have been up to. Come now don't be shy. This has obviously been going on for some time, behind our backs. Please, do share with us just WHAT you two have been up to. We really want to know"

Ron looked around. "Don't we guys" He looked at Hermione, who just hid her face from view.

Ron looked confused.. He looked to Harry, who was trying to look anywhere but at Ron. . "Harry….. Hermione…?"

And it finally clicked.

"You… you knew." Harry and Hermione looked up. "You knew about them this whole time… and you never thought to say anything to me."

"Ron please-" Hermione rushed forward at the same time as Harry and grabbed his arm, but he jumped away as if he had been stung.

"No… don't touch me… DON'T TOUCH ME!" Ron fumed. He looked towards his two best friends, and every feeling of trust and loyalty that he had ever felt to them in the past just disappeared, as if a weight was lifted form his shoulders. "You two, my best friends, didn't even have the decency to tell me about this."

"Please Ron. We wanted to but-"

"But WHAT! What was so important that you just HAD to keep the fact that my sister is going out with my WORST ENEMY a secret! Huh? Tel me that? Did he bribe you with money?"

"No.."

"THEN WHAT!"

By this point, the entire contents of the great Hall had heard all the commotion that was going on out side, and had come to watch as the events unfolded.

Harry and Hermione both waited with baited breath. Both had tears in their eyes.

Ron… just looked at them. Never in his wildest dreams did he EVER think that his best friends could betray him like this….

With out saying another word, Ron turned around on his heels, and fled up the stairs into the depths of the castle.

Bqbqbqbqbqbqbqbqbqbqbqbqbqbq

Hermione ran from corridor to corridor in search of Ron. She took 7 flights of stairs and 3 secret passages ways to get to the top floor, where she opened every class room door and every secret hide out that she knew of in her search.

When she finally collapsed against a random suit of armour of the 6th floor, completely out of breath, and idea came to her.

'Why not check the Marauders map?'

She immediately got to her feet, mentally kicking her self for not coming up with the idea earlier, and ran towards the Gryffindor common room.

She then ran up to the boys dorm and threw open Harry's trunk. Fortunately, there was no one in there. Harry had disappeared, presumably in search of Ron as well, and the other boys must still be at lessons.

Finally, finding what she as looking for, she fled the room, casting a quick spell on Harry's trunk to put everything back in its rightful place.

She then ran out of the common room and into the corridor.

Finding a secluded corner where she wouldn't be seen, she opened the map and said, " I solemnly swear I am up to no good' and the map revealed it self to her.

Frantically looking around, searching every floor with her eyes, she tried to find the small dot that bearded her boyfriend's name…. However, what she was looking for, she could not find.

It seemed that Ron was not on the map. That could mean only one thing.

Ron wasn't in the castle.

Bqbqbqbqbqbqbqbqbqbqbqbqbqb

"Please Ginny. He was going to find out sooner or later. Lets just be glad it was now before we left it too long and he found out in…I dunno… say 5 years time when I get you pregnant and he's left wondering who the father is." Draco tried to lighten the mood, only to receive a whack from Ginny, who was bawling her eyes out in her boyfriend's arms.

"That's not funny you big jerk. This is serious."

Draco hugged her closer. "I know it is. And I'm not trying to be inconsiderate. I'm just trying to lighten the mood'

They were sat in the North Tower, huddled on the sofa. Ginny had fled there after Ron had left and Draco had followed. It had been an hour since Ron had seen them together, and Draco was feeling slightly relieved that it was now out in the open, how ever he was also a little worried for Ginny's sake. Any thing that Weasley threw at him, he could take, But he wasn't so sure about Ginny

Ginny just held onto Draco tighter as the flow of tears increased.

Bqbqbqbqbqbqbqbqbqbqbqbqbqbbq

Hermione rushed up to her dorm and grabbed her cloak. She then fled the room, heading down staircase after staircase until she got to the entrance hall. Making sure that no teachers were around to stop her, Hermione opened one of the great oak doors, and crept out.

Running down the slope to the entrance of the Hogwarts grounds, she opened a gate and headed out into the world beyond the castle.

Harry was sitting in the room of requirement. It was late. He was mulling over tonight events in his head.

He was happy that Ginny was back with Draco. He knew now that Draco made her happy. But he couldn't help but think…. What about Ron.

The look on Rons face when he saw Draco and Ginny together. And then when he found out that Harry and Hermione had known all this time.

He shook his head. He didn't want to think about that. It was far too painful.

He wondered where Ron was now. Was Hermione with him? Was she trying to get him to forgive her? He didn't like to think. What if he never forgave them. Harry wouldn't blame him.

Just then, Harry turned when he heard the door to the room of requirement open, and he gasped when in walked…

"Pansy!"

"Harry. Hi. I was hoping to catch you here."

Harry looked shocked. "You were. Why?"

Pansy smiled weakly. "I heard what happened today. In the Entrance Hall. Crabbe and Goyle came ruining back to the commonroom and told me everything. They looked like they had seen a ghost."

Harry laughed nervously.

They stood in uncomfortable silence for what seemed like hours before Pansy spoke

"How did Weasley take the news?"

Harry snorted. "How do you think!"

Pansy was slightly taken back with Harry's tone.

"Sorry!" He quickly said "I didn't mean it to come out like that!"

"s'ok" Pansy mumbled.

Again they were left in silence.

"So"

"So"

Harry suddenly found his feet very interesting.

"Listen Harry.." Pansy began. "About what happened between us.."

Harry suddenly looked up from his feet.

"I just wanted to tell you that… I forgive you."

Harry bawkled. That was the last thing he had expected her to say.

"I mean there are more important things going on in the world right now and our little tiff is really not that big of a deal. Right?"

Harry nodded enthusiastically. "Right!"

"And…. If you were interested………I was maybe thinking we could give another go"

Harry was gobsmacked. If anything he was expecting Pansy to still be mad at him, not willing to give their relationship another go!

"Erm… well I … i… "

"Don't sound to enthusiastic" Pansy laughed.

Harry laughed too. "Sorry. What I meant to say was… OFCOURSE!" Suddenly Harry ran towards Pansy and picked her up. He swung her around as she threw her arms around his neck.

When he put her safely down on the ground, he kissed her. Hard.

And the best thing was. She kissed back .Just as Hard!

Bqbqbqbqbqbqbqbqbq q

Hermione ran as fast as her legs would carry her. After one quick look around the entire Hogwarts grounds and still finding no signs of Ron, she decided to look else where. Elsewhere being Hogsmeade.

She approached the small town and headed straight for the shops. Looking in every shop she passed, though she could still not find Ron anywhere.

Finally Hermione found Ron sitting in a secluded corner of the three broomsticks. She approached him slowly. As she got closer, he still hadn't noticed her, and she discovered that he had a large tumbler clasped in his hand. She sat down next to him and carefully put a hand on his shoulder. He jumped almost 3ft in the air in shock, and looked around frantically for the source of the hand.

"Ron… Ron it's me!" Hermione exclaimed. Ron calmed when he saw her face. Not before he dodged out of her grip and turned back to his drink.

"Get lost Mione" he slurred through the alcohol.

Hermione was shocked; Not just because of what he had said, but because of the excess amount of alcohol he had obviously had. "Ok… look I know you are mad now…. But lets just talk-"

"I don't want to talk!" Ron fumed, as he jumped to his feet and knocked his drink on the floor.

"Oi, keep it down over there!" yelled the wizard from behind the counter.

Hermione took a deep breath." Ok. We don't have to talk. How bout we get you back to the castle and into bed so you can sleep the drink off"

Ron flopped back down. "No. Just go away. You're the last person I want to see right now. Well, I mean apart form Malfoy. He's been seeing my sister, but ofcourse you know that. You've known all along haven't you" Ron hissed.

Hermione filched at his tone. "Yes love. And I cant begin to Tell you how sorry I am, but I really think that-"

"NO I DON'T CARE WHT YOU THINK! Why don't you just get out of my face!" Ron was now on his feet. "Do you really think that talking is going to help. I don't want you to take me back. I want to stay HERE!"

"Yes yes that's fine." Hermione soothed. "How about I stay here with you. We can drink together ok."

"NO-"

"EXCUSE ME! ONE BUTTERBEAR OVER HERE PLEASE!" Hermione yelled to the bar man. "Ok… you want to get drunk….. I'll do it with you" She smiled sweetly.

Ron snorted. "What… on butterbeer."

"Oh no!" Hermione laughed. "This is just the start of it. I need something to warm me up. You know its freezing outside-"

"I didn't ask you to follow me!"

"Yeah I know"

They sat in silence. Ron with his head resting on his palms with his elbows on the table, and Hermione watching him. Her drink came and she thanked the bar man. She took a few gulps and sighed.

"OOO that's better." She placed the mug down on the table. "Now… Ronald, lets talk-"

"I said NO!"

"About Ginny and Malfoy-"

"I'm not listening!"

"I didn't want to find out-"

"Lalala can't hear you"

"But when I did I wanted to tell you honestly I did-"

"STOP!" Ron yelled, standing up. Hermione stopped talking and looked up at her boyfriend. "If you wanted to tell me why didn't you? And don't give some bullshit about how you didn't want to hurt Ginny. I'm your boyfriend. You should have told me!"

"I know but-"

"No Mione!" Ron sighed and sat down. "You hurt me ok! I dunno if I can forgive you for that"

Hermione choked a sob. "Oh Ron-"

"No!" He jumped back as Hermione reached for his hand. "Why don't you just go before I say something I'll regret"

Hermione had tears running down her face. "Ron no please."

"Hermione just g-" Ron suddenly stopped talking. Hermione looked at him strangely.

"Ron. ….Ron…" She weeped.

Suddenly, a hand flew to Ron's mouth, however, not before he could stop the flow of vomit that emitted form his mouth.

Harry had just dropped Pansy off at her dorm and was walking back to his common room when he saw something ahead of him.

"Hermione?"

Hermione turned around. "Harry. I'm glad you're here, Can you help me?"

Harry cocked an eyebrow, then saw, for the first time, Ron, floating in mid air.

"You found him!" Harry gasped.

"Yep. And he wasn't happy either"

"I can imagine" Harry said as he stepped forward and held open the portrait for Hermione to pass through while levitating Ron behind her. "So where was he?"

Hermione sighed. "Getting drunk, in the three broomsticks. I tried to talk to him, I even tried to get him to come back but he was having none of it. Fortunately he threw up and passed out so I managed to get him back here"

"Damn" Harry cursed.

The common room was empty apart from Seamus who was sat by the fire reading. He arched an eyebrow at the threesome, but said nothing about it, decided it was far too complicated.

Hermione and Harry took Ron up to the boys dorm and once in the room, laid him down on his bed. They tucked him in, and left the room quietly. Out side the door, the both sighed and slid down the wall to sit on the floor.

"Be prepared for the worst tomorrow Harry" Hermione voiced after a few minutes. Harry didn't answer so she carried on. "Because he is not going to be easy on us. I really think we screwed up. Badly."

Harry just snorted.

Hermione let her head fall onto Harry's shoulder and she sighed. "What have we done?"
