Harry
was still lying there when he heard them come home. He heard Ron and
Hermione run up to Ron's room. He could hear a bunch of loud noises
coming from above him. They are making a lot of noise up there,
Harry thought. He looked up at the ceiling. What are they doing?
He really wanted to go up and look, but then decided that they
probably didn't want him there. Then he heard a loud smash. What
the... Harry got up and went to the hallway. Ginny was standing
on the stairs. She looked up and laughed. Then she ran past him and
headed upstairs. "Come on!" she said,
"Wait...
Ginny we shouldn't be-" Harry said as he walked up behind
her.
"Yeah whatever. Shhh they'll hear us." she pressed
her ear against the door, and then waved for Harry to come closer.
She laughed. "Watch this." she laughed again. "But
when I say to run, you better run. Ron isn't gonna be to happy with
either of us."
"Wait Ginny-"
Ginny knocked on
the door loudly. "Room service!" she screamed. Harry heard
someone coming to the door. "Run!" Harry and Ginny ran as
fast as they could down the stairs and into Harry's room. "Quick
lock the door." He locked the door and turned around to look at
Ginny.
"That was so mean." Harry said with a smile
"Yeah
well they'll get over it. Fred and George showed me that one."
Harry heard Ron coming downstairs. He stopped in front of Harry's
door, and then kept going back downstairs.
"Where's he
going?" Harry said
"Oh he's going to tell mum, and then
she'll come up and yell at me and say that it's a shame that I'm so
much like Fred and George and yada yada yada. Believe me I've heard
it all summer."
"You are a lot like them."
"Well
do you expect me to turn into Percy!"
Harry laughed "No
please it's bad enough we have one." Ginny started laughing and
then suddenly stopped. Someone was coming upstairs.
"Alohomora!"
Mrs. Weasley screamed, and then the door flew open and she and Ron
walked in. "Ginny Weasley how many times this summer do I have
to tell you not to bother your brother." Ginny started to talk,
but Ron cut her off.
"Harry! What the... geeze I expected her
but not you too." he sighed and ran upstairs.
"Wait
Ron..." Harry followed him "Wait. Please... let me
explain... Ron!" Ron slammed the door in Harry's face. Oh great
now what? Harry thought. "Ron?"
"Go away Harry."
Hermione said
"But I-"
"Go! Now!" Harry
felt like they had both just slapped him. He stopped trying and went
back downstairs and into his room. Ginny was sitting on his
bed.
"Harry I'm really sorry. I should have never dragged you
into that."
"Ginny... please just go away for a
bit."
"But Harry really I didn't mean to-"
"Ginny,
please I need to be alone okay?" Ginny left the room and slammed
the door. Harry fell onto his bed. Wow could this summer get any
better? he thought. First I get beat up be Dudley and then I get
attacked by deamons and now my two best friends hate me. Wow I'm
really batting a thousand aren't I?
That
night at dinner no one talked very much. When Hermione and Ron got up
and went upstairs, Harry followed them. He knocked on their door
quietly. "What!" Ron screamed.
"Can I come in?"
Harry asked
"No." Ron said, but Hermione opened the
door.
"Yes you can. We need to sort this out. All of this
fighting is pointless."
"We never run up and bother
him!"
"Ron will you be quiet for a minute."
Hermione said. "We are going to sit here and talk about this
peacefully." No one talked. "Okay... well Harry why don't
you tell us your version of what happened."
Harry explained
to them what had happened. "So I really didn't do anything."
he said.
"Then why'd you run away?" Ron asked
"Oh
Ron please don't start-" Hermione said
"No really, if he
didn't do anything then why'd he run away? Oh well unless he really
did do something and he just isn't admitting it."
"Do
you know that I'm sitting here!" Harry said "You know what,
I've had it with you. Both of you. I never did anything and you blame
me for everything. Your just like... just like everyone else! I
thought I could talk to you when there was something wrong, but
apparently you don't want me to talk to you anymore. So you know what
Ron? You and your censored can just stay away from me and never
talk to me again! Because I'm never talking to you again!" Harry
turned and ran out of Ron's room and back into his. He locked the
door and threw himself onto his bed. He could hear Hermione crying
above him, but right now, he didn't care. He actually liked the
thought that he had caused them pain. They have been causing me
pain all summer, so it's about time they got a taste of their own
medicine. Harry rolled over and covered his head with a pillow.
