The Aftermath- thanx to anyone who is reading
Chapter 2
Ron looked around at Ginny and Harry who looked like they'd just witnessed the apocalypse. They looked at each other for a second making a unspoken decision each grabbing an arm they heaved Ron up the stairs to the deserted boys dormitory steering him to his bed which he fell upon. Harry and Ginny looked at each other again and then to the figure that was Ron.
He was devastated and they knew it, and as Ginny looked upon her brother her heart went out to him. But Hermione hadn't meant it had she, not really? She must have shown what she was thinking because Harry said quickly "Did she mean that Gin?" he looked very grave. Ron's eyes were gazing fixedly on her she had to respond. She and Harry sat down on either side of Ron. "I think she did, you know the way she said it was as if she hadn't enough energy to finish her speech, as if that thing you said," she looked pointedly at Ron. "Drained her of all happiness."
What had he done? He'd made Hermione angry, maybe she even hated him? No she hadn't looked angry he knew what she looked like when she was angry. She'd looked, he tried hard to remember the scene that had taken place minuets previous… she had definitely looked sad and determined he'd seen determination in those eyes…and she looked final like she had known it was all true. I give up. .
"What have I done?" he said his head sinking into his hands. Ginny looked directly into Harry's eyes and then looked at the door, he nodded standing up and walking out. Ginny followed suit, Ron not even noticing them leave.
"This is bad." Said Harry in the hallway just outside the sixth year boy's dormitory.
"Your telling me, I've never seen Hermione so down, she really looked like she'd completely given up." She noticed Harry make a miniscule shifty movement, which made her enquire.
"Oh don't you get it Ginny," started Harry with exasperation "Ron. Loves. Hermione." he dragged out each word. Ginny gasped and then did very funny thing she banged her head against the wall whilst saying "Why. Is. Life. So. Ironic." He didn't have the slightest idea what she meant by this but said as he grabbed her shoulder to stop her from continuing the smashing of her face, "Because it can be." She gave him a faint smile muttered her thanks and disappeared down the stairs.
But as he stood there he thought about the fact that he knew so much about the irony of life. Because you see he loved that girl that girl who had gone down to her boyfriend. The irony of his situation was that until a year ago that girl had liked him as more than a friend. But know as he lay awake thinking about her he knew there was no point blaming irony for this for he was Harry Potter and to put it bluntly if he was to be with her she would be in too much danger from lord Voldermort something he couldn't live with would be to lose her. Better to love from afar than to love a memory. Plus there would be the fact that if he kissed Ginny he'd be killed by much greater forces than even Voldermort, Ginny's six older brothers would kill him quicker than you could say 'love.' But it would be worth it all to hold her in his arms, and as his mind filled with Ginny, true peace drifted over him.
