DISCLAIMER: I dont own anything ...blah
Chapter 5 : Humiliation?
Splash! Plop! Splash!…..Ron seemed hell bent on kicking every stone around into the lake .
"Earth to Ron …Earth to Ron….buzz…static….buzzz" ; Ron looked up quite bugged ;"Yay! Contact established", said Harry.
Ron was quite irritated, so he snapped at Harry , "Cut the crap will you, can't you see I'm pissed off"
"Okay Okay ", Harry backed off.
He couldn't help laughing, though , when he remembered what had happened .He and Ron had been flying around when they saw a group of girls. While showing off in front of them, Ron spotted Hermione and Neville sitting in a cozy corner of the grounds…He was soo shocked that he kinda forgot to turn and slammed into a nearby tree. The previously mentioned girls burst out laughing and this was the ultimate embarrassment to his 17 year old male ego.
To cool him off, Harry led him to the lake . They sat there , simply chatting, for a long time. Though it was getting very late , none of them felt like heading back to the castle. But soon they were shooed off …coz the students were allowed to be out on the grounds only till 11.
While walking back, they saw the lights in the Gryffindor common room. No prizes for guessing who was up late.
"Oh great ! After all that humiliation I have to face Herm now. WHY do we have to pass through the common room …aaagh", complained Ron .
"You don't have to. Get in through our dorm window ", suggested Harry.
"Thanks . Well good night too coz I think I'll be asleep by the time you get there.", said Ron.
Harry walked and walked and was finally in front of the portrait hole. After giving the password, he entered.
Hermione was asleep with her head resting on an open book for support. He tiptoed up to her. He was just about to wake her, when he saw that the open book was her diary and that she must have fallen asleep while writing….He could make out something like
"…..Ron made a complete fool of himself today! …awwww but I like …."
He tried to lean over and read the rest when he lost balance and fell on Herm which obviously woke her up . She was furious at first….but then she realized he had to know someday… so why not as well now.
"So yes I do like Ron", said Hermione. "Happy ? Satisfied?"
"Well actually it seems quite obvious but it's nice to know for sure." , said Harry. "By the way what's up with you and Neville?", Harry asked ,acting oh so innocent .
"Nothing really!", said Herm. She really had to stop this … before it got outta hand and Neville thought they were in a serious relationship……
The next day ..classes as usual. The class was making it's way to the greenhouses. Ron couldn't stand the thought of 2 hours under the baking sun…so he gestured to Harry. All of a sudden Harry bent down as if to pick up his quill and the next moment he was gone! No one really noticed coz they were all busy with their plants. Ron followed suit. (AN: if the Marauders learned to be Animagi , Harry and Ron learned to Apparate and disapparate )
They found themselves in the owlery. Ron called for his guitar and Harry for his drums……..(AN: yesss! Ron plays the guitar……. in my opinion that's the sexiest instrument to play). Harry and he often bunked classes just to chill out somewhere in the school. Sometimes it was for music , or for exploring the school. They chose the owlery coz it was soundproofed… no one really wanted to hear the birds' cacophony all day.
"After having so much fun, they quietly joined the rest of the class as they were going back to the castle . The rest of the day was sooo boring…
That evening in the common room… the WWW was tuned in. People tried to do their HW but ended up singing along to the songs that were playing…like a big karaoke party. For God knows what reason everyone was in a great mood. Some fifth years even suggested raiding the kitchens. Ron disapparated into Hogsmeade and got some drinks too. Basically this looked like it was gonna be an all night party. At first Hermione protested … she was Head Girl and all…but seeing that everyone was in a mood for partying she had to relent.
After some time … the juniors had all gone off to bed. Only the seventh years were left. The alcohol came out now. In a few minutes Ron was slightly…okay….quite drunk…He stood up all proud and mighty … like he was about to announce something . He turned towards Hermione… took a few steps and had just opened his mouth to say something, when Harry dragged him back ,out of the common room and up to their dorm.
Thankfully Harry hadn't had enough to make him drunk. He was still in his senses and had realized that Ron was gonna tell Herm that he loved her . But however desperate he was … no girl would appreciate a drunken proposal, rite !
