Chapter Four

Mystery between Ron and Fleur

Harry and Hermione with Ginny waited for Ron. When Ron arrived at the common room, Fleur was not with him.

"Where's Fleur?" asked Ginny.

"Someone saw her crying. She was with you that time," said Hermione blankly.

"Dare to tell us something, Ron?" It's Harry.

Ron sat down in his favorite place near the fireplace.

"For your question, Ginny, Fleur's already in the girls' dormitory. For your curiosity, Hermione," Ron looked at her first. She was looking at him, too. Ron looked away and focused his eyes to the fire.

"Yes, she cried a while ago. And for you, mate," Ron sighed first. "I'm sorry, I can't tell you anything."

"But Ron!" the three chorused with that. But Ron stood up.

"It's already late, better sleep. Good night." Then he went to his bed.

Harry, Ginny and Hermione said nothing.

When Harry woke up next morning, Ron wasn't in his bed. He went at the Tower's corridor and saw Hermione.

"Where's Ron?" asked Hermione.

"He's not in his bed." Harry said quietly and they walked to go outside the tower.

"I'm sharing my bed with Fleur," said Hermione blankly.

"And where is she?" asked Harry as they came nearer to the Great Hall.

"I don't know." But Hermione can't get out of her mind the fact that Ron and Fleur were together.

Where can they be?

Her question was answered when they reached the Great Hall. Ron and Fleur were already there and eating. Ginny waved at them then Ron looked at them and waved too.

"Good morning," said Fleur happily.

Harry and Hermione greeted her back. They were just to put their food when Ron and Fleur stood up.

"We have to go now," said Fleur.

"See you later at our Transfiguration class." Then Ron followed Fleur. They could hear the other Gryffindor students teasing them.

Ginny went to their table.

"They were already here when I arrived," said Ginny as she sat down beside Harry.

"I wonder what they're up to," said Harry while eating his pastry.

Suddenly, Ginny grinned.

"Want to know what they're up to?"

Harry and Hermione looked at each other then to Ginny.

"How?" asked Hermione.

"If you're finish, follow me." Then Ginny stood up. Hermione followed but Harry didn't.

"Just eat later," said Hermione as she removed the spoon in Harry's mouth and pulled him.

"How did you have this?" asked Harry and Hermione as Ginny showed them the Extendable Ears.

"Let's say, it's a gift from my two lovely twin brothers. Now, what we have to do is to find them."

They found Ron and Fleur near Hagrid's hut. Then they heard Ron.

"Sooner or later, they'll find out. And I know they'll accept you in our family. Mum and Dad are the best. You'll be a member of my family, I promise and I'm working for it."

Ginny dropped the Extendable Ears and just stared at her brother and Fleur. Hermione was trying to stop her tears which were about to fall. Then Harry said, "Look!"

Ron hugged Fleur and she hugged him back. Then they concluded that Ron was saying goodbye. Fleur kissed him in his cheeks. The three ran when Ron went to their direction.

Hermione told Harry to go ahead because she forgot her assignment in their Transfiguration. But instead of going to the Gryffindor Tower, she went to the abandoned girls' bathroom.

What Ron said to Fleur a while ago kept repeating in her mind. And she can't explain the hurt she's feeling.

'Sooner or later, they'll find out… You'll be a member of my family, I promise and I'm working for it…'

How I wish I didn't hear it!

"Why are you crying, Hermione?" It was Moaning Myrtle. She went closer to her.

"Where's Harry? Where's Ron?" she asked.

Hearing Ron's name, it made her more hurt. Then she looked at Myrtle.

"Have you… have you loved someone but his heart wasn't feeling the same way as you feel for him?" asked Hermione, still tears were falling freely at her cheeks.

Myrtle sobbed then stopped.

"Is that your problem? Is it a love problem? I thought Gryffindor students were brave enough to face any problems. You shouldn't cry because of that."

Myrtle is right. Hermione thought. She stood up and wiped her tears, making sure that no one will notice that she cried.

"Myrtle, if I could kiss you right now, I swear, I will. Thanks and see you later." And she ran to her way to her Transfiguration class.

Ron wasn't still there when Hermione returned.

"Sorry, I have to search for it." Hermione lied. Then Ron appeared.

"Where is Fleur?" asked Harry.

"She's with Hagrid. I introduced him to Fleur. They both like each other." Ron said brightly.

When they entered the classroom, Professor Minerva McGonagall collected their assignment. She discussed and gave them another paper works.

Ron didn't join them during break time and didn't have dinner. Fleur wasn't there, too, making that day as Hermione's worst day ever.

"Thank you, Ron," said Fleur. They were in front of the girls' dormitory. They stayed with Hagrid during Ron's break time and had dinner with him. Fleur liked Hagrid because of Madame Maxime.

"No problem," said Ron and smiled. Then the door opened, it was Hermione and she was looking at both of them. Though Hermione promised not to feel hurt, she can't help it.

"Hi, Hermione," greeted Fleur as she went to the door and disappeared.

Hermione and Ron felt silent. Then Ron got back his senses.

"Going to Harry? You can come with me."

Hermione just nodded.

"Weasley, you explained the topic very well," said Professor McGonagall as she handed back Ron's parchment.

"Thanks to Fleur," Ron whispered to Harry.

Fleur was helping him in all of his assignments. In their Transfiguration, it was only him and Hermione who got the highest score.

Ron's other works excelled in their other subjects. The students of Hogwarts could see him with Fleur all the time. But Ron wished he's with Hermione… she's the one who's helping him… Hermione and him… together…
