Ron lay on the table, stiff and rather tired looking, but still with his eyes sealed shut and a pale look to his face. Ginny sat by his side, comforting him in the few minutes they had to understand the surgery. Sydney sat on Ginny's lap, bouncing up and down and randomly spitting out words every now and then. She grabbed Sydney, carrying her as she got up, and walked out of the room. She turned to Doctor Rob.
"Ok, I'm ready.."
He nodded and entered, followed by the surgeons and his team. Nurse Heather patted Sydney on her head, and said a quick but grateful thanks before rushing into the room. The doors closed with a swish, leaving everyone still standing there. Bill was seated next to Percy, who's cell phone hadn't left his ear since the moment he heard Ron was being operated on. Their parents still hadn't arrived. Fred and George were reading sports magazines and bugging Percy from the other side of the hall. Charlie was still in Romania. Ginny missed him. She sat down where the was room; in the middle of the hall, with Sydney crawling and smiling at her.
She sat there and wondered, had what Des said really been true? She looked different, and Fred had mentioned that she had become "even cute in a way". Percy, of course, scowled when he mentioned this, saying that she had turned against them, and was out to get them now. Well of course she was, Percy, she was upset about Ron, and you insulted her. She and Fred, it seemed, were apparently the only ones that understood that Percy had hurt her feelings. Bill had been silent since the whole thing went down, but every now and then she could here George mutter something under his breath.
"Deserved it, she bloody deserved it.." And who was that 'Jack' guy with her? Pretty hot, but he looked dangerous. Especially when he questioned Doctor Rob's choices. But Ginny was glad he did. She was beginning to worry as well, and she had thought she was the only one.
Sydney began to get away, but Fred set his magazine aside and sat on the floor with her.
"Des left in a hurry," He said. She nodded.
"It's not like she was welcome here; everyone gave her a dirty look as soon as she arrived."
Fred glanced over at the other Weasley before whispering to Ginny, "I hope she isn't going out with that Jack guy."
Ginny giggled and rolled over, laughing hard. Sydney, not knowing what was going on, coughed in her attempt to laugh. Fred patted her on the back.
"It's not that far-fetched, is it? Well yeah, she was going out with Ron.. But you know.."
Ginny nodded. At this point, Percy had set down his cell phone and was looking at them peculiarly. Bill was reading his magazine and George had dozed off in the chair.
&&&&&&
Des and Jack blew out of the hospital in a hurry. Both were mad at the doctor and, of course, Percy.
