Life of Surprises Chapter 7

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Harry and Reina sat quietly beside each other on the couch at the Gryffindor Common Room. Reina had her hands clasped tightly together, her head lowered.

Harry looked at his girlfriend for so many months and looked at her fascinatingly. She sat cross-legged on the couch and her dark brown hair flowed silkily past her shoulders, covering her face. That was one of the things Reina had that attracted Harry to her. He took the lock of hair that covered his view of Reina's beautiful face and hid it behind her ear. He had touched the soft spot in her ear where he always wanted to touch when they were out doing their stuff.

Reina looked at Harry and sighed. She turned around as the sound of the portrait hole opening. She turned around and saw Ron and Hermione finally coming in. She automatically stood up to let Ron and Hermione sit down on the couch.

Meanwhile Harry stayed glued to his position as Reina emptied her seat for Ron and Hermione to occupy. He hung his shoulders back and placed his hand back to his side. He looked down at his lap and contemplated on what was he feeling. Dismay? Anger? Heartache???

Ron and Hermione were already near the other two. Ron had settled beside Harry. Ron's hands covered his face and his head shaking. Hermione on the other hand settled on the windowsill to their right. Reina looked at her watch. 2:30 p.m., she thought, not too shabby to get a lecture going.

"Somebody please tell me what wrong I have done. Why is Ginny doing this to me?" Ron said first breaking the silence and tension that occupied the Common Room. Then, there was silence again.

Ron raised his eyebrows. "Well?"

"Ron, do you really want the honest and absolute truth?" Reina asked.

"Well, yeah!" Ron exclaimed exasperated.

"Hermione? Will you please do the honor?" Reina asked.

Hermione looked at Reina, her brows furrowed. She shook her head and focused her eyes to outside the window.

Reina looked at Ron. "Do you want my opinion or hers?"

"Whichever's!" Ron half-shouted.

Reina took a deep breath. "Ron, what the hell? I mean, what was that for? Fighting Malfoy? Okay, he's a nutcase but you didn't need to fight him."

"Reina, come on!" Harry said exasperated. "The guy was hitting on his younger sister. Our rival was hitting on Ginny."

Reina looked at him oddly. Her shoulders slumped at her sides and she bit her lip.

"Whatever." She said weakly.

"But honestly, you're overprotecting her. And don't deny you're overprotecting her." Hermione had finally said since they had first come in. "You went mad when you realized that Ginny was going out with Michael Corner." She added in.

"Okay, that part I agree. I only did that because I wanted her to end up with Harry!" He blurted out his defense. Silence followed after Ron's last remark.

"Ummm, Reina ignore that. Forget I ever said that."

Reina's shoulder further slumped. Her back was crouched this time.

"I really don't mind. What I'm concerned right now is Ginny's welfare." Reina said quietly. "I'll advise you to just do this: Let her be herself. Give her a bit freedom."

"Ahhhhh!!!! God! I don't know what to do anymore!" Ron said roughing his hair.

Hermione looked at her boyfriend with pity, with so much love and passion. Reina took a deep breath and closed her eyes.

"Accio Bag!" Reina quietly voiced out. Her bag slowly came to her. She grabbed it and shouldered. "I guess it's the best time for me to head to the Library. See you later." And she proceeded to the Library.

"I'm going with her." Harry announced as Reina had left. "I need to catch up on a few things. I think the two of you will be fine on your own." He said standing up. He raced to the sixth year boys' dormitories and ran back down the stairs. He left the common room to Hermione and Ron to think about their own troubles.

"So? What are we going to do next?" Hermione suggested. "Reina and Harry took the best option to leave us alone and talk."

"What's to talk about?" Ron said angrily. But despite of his anger, it came out soft but tired. The harshness was still there. He wanted to forget everything that he had seen. The memory was too vivid. So intense and very clear. Draco Malfoy was on top of his sister Ginny Weasley. They looked at each other with all the passion each could give. Then they kissed. Playfully kissing each other. Their tongues tasting and teasing the other. Ron shook his head trying to shake off the memory.

Hermione looked at him. Her compassionate self took over her. Oh! How she loved Ron so much. "What do you want to talk about?" was her reply to his almost forgotten question.

"Hermione..."

Hermione rushed to Ron. She kneeled before him holding his hand in hers. She wanted to be a part of his life. She wanted so much to be with him, to share his emotions to her, to let his pains ease.

"Would you...?" He continued on.

"Would I what, Ron? Would I what?" Hermione pleaded. She wanted so much to know more, not academically, but what emotions her boyfriend was capable of feeling.

"Would you..." Hermione's eyes widened with eagerness. "Help me forget?"

This was totally Hermione's joy. She stood up, his hands still in hers. She pulled him up and led him to his room.

Harry looked around as he got out of the portrait hole. He couldn't see any sign of Reina. Not even her long blonde hair anywhere in sight. He knew she was heading to the Library. But he wanted to know which way she went so he could catch up with her. He faced the Fat Lady in the portrait.

"I really do think you saw a girl with blonde hair go out of the portrait hole. Did you happen to know which way she went?" Harry said, asking the woman in the portrait.

"Of course I did. She was quite blue when she went out. Anyway Potter wasn't that your girlfriend?"

Harry raised his brows. "Okay, so you saw her. Which way did she go?"

"I see. You had a fight with her haven't you? Potter, you are so sick! You go about a girl and break her heart! Shame on you!" The Fat Lady scolded him.

"Oh, come on! We didn't break up or anything it was something she, Ron, Hermione, and I were involved with. Now would you please tell me where she went?"

The Fat Lady she sighed. "She went to your right."

Harry smiled. "Thanks!" and went on his way.
