Chapter 14
"You are so stupid Ron! I can not believe that you would just come right out and tell Harry Ginny's feelings. Those things are private!"
"BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH! You know something you are the one that is stupid. What was Harry suppose to be told? Hmm? Oh, my sister has this weird disease where she can't function around people named Harry? Oh yeah that would have flown really well."
"You didn't have to tell him that."
"What would I have told him, Hermione?"
"You could have told him that Ginny was just shy. It was slightly true!"
"Shy! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA… Yeah that is exactly what Ginny is."
"You probably now ruined their friendship!"
"Me! I ruined my sister's friendship with Harry? Yeah. That's it."
"You are so stupid."
"You are so stupider!"
"That made no sense, Ron."
"So!"
"You are the worst at comebacks."
"So are you."
"Really?"
"Yeah and while we're on the subject… I don't like how you treat me."
"We weren't on that subject."
"I am on it now."
"Well then if you don't like how I treat you then you shouldn't treat me that way."
"What!"
"You heard me. The only reason why I treat you this way is because it is the way you treat me!"
"Do not!"
"Do too!"
"Not!"
"Too!"
"SHUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUT UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUP!" Harry's voice bellowed. Hermione and Ron stopped and stared at Harry who was standing in front of the common room portal with Ginny by his side. Harry and Ginny's hands were clasped by their side.
"We've been gone like ten minutes and you two are still at it!" Ginny exclaimed.
"But you were. . . just, over.. . What?" Ron stuttered in confusion. Hermione squealed and ran over to hug her two friends.
"Um, well I don't think Ron has figured it out yet," Harry said to Ginny.
"In three, two, one," Ginny counted.
"YOU'RE DATING MY SISTER?"
"Wow, you're good at that," Hermione said with a laugh.
"Yes we're dating," Harry said softly, looking slightly afraid of his best mate at the moment.
"But why?"
"Because I like her." Hermione sighed and clasped her hands together close to her chest.
"It's so romantic!" Hermione exclaimed.
"What! How so?"
"They found each other, Ron."
"And that's romantic?"
"Of course."
"How so?"
"Because they found each other?"
"But, but, he's my friend and she's my little sister! It's not right!"
"Oh hush you. It is too right. They are made for each other. Besides as long as Ginny and Harry happy then that's all that matters."
"I AM DONE FOR TONIGHT!" Ron roared as he ran up stairs.
"Um, that's bad," Ginny said.
"I think I might be dead when I go up there," Harry said.
"Let me go talk to him," Hermione offered, running up the stairs after him. Harry looked over at Ginny.
"Let's go listen," Ginny offered. Harry nodded and they proceeded upstairs after them.
Hermione knocked upon the door and heard Ron's voice muffled against something. She opened the door anyway. She found Ron on his bed, laying face down. His hands were rubbing his temples. She sighed and closed the door before heading over to him. She sat upon his bed.
"Harry I'm going to," Ron started as he flipped over. His eyes widened as he saw her sitting there instead.
"What are you doing here?"
"I am here to talk."
"To fight you mean."
"No, to talk. Please listen to me."
"Fine."
"Harry has had a hard life. He doesn't have his parents. He has to battle Voldermort. Oh stop cringing at his name Ron! Really! Anyway, Harry has enough of heartaches on his plate. He has lost Sirius. Do you think that is easy for him? Sirius was the last person of his family that loved him. Is he not allowed something as simple as love? Ginny loves him. He loves her. Don't you want your best mate to have what he should want in life?"
Ron looked at her and sighed deeply. He placed his hand upon her forearm, sending shivers up and down Hermione's spine.
"Yes. But she's my sister. I just. . . I just want to protect her."
"From Harry! Oh, Ron. Harry would never hurt her and you know that." Ron fell silent. He looked away from her. He sat up and buried his face into her neck as he hugged her.
"Thanks, 'Mione." She smiled and patted his back.
"Any time, Ron."
