Four Way Connection

The Burrow - Part Two

The Fight

Hermione's PoV

I sigh as Lavender, Ginny and I all wash our hands, getting ready to make dinner for everyone. It's odd, we've taken on Mrs. Weasley's role, now that she's gone. We always make breakfast, lunch, and dinner for everyone else in the house, no matter who it is.

Their are still almost one week left of the summer hoilday, before we have to go back to Hogwarts, and even though I can't wait to see everyone again and start studying like mad once more, I kind of like this summer. Some things, like Luna Lovegood, I would have liked never to happen, but other things, like realizing how important Ron is to me are things I'm happy happend.

'What should we make?' Ginny asks. 'Maybe just some sandwhiches? Nothing to big, I don't want to eat a ton and then go out dancing.'

'Yeah just some sandwhiches should be good enough.' Lavender answers her as they start pulling bread out of the bread box and knives from the drawers.

I think back over the past week, right to the beginning. When we all started talking on the internet, it was so much fun and we had some amazing conversations, some funny, some serious ... some that began this whole mess. I remember the first time Luna was added into a conversation with us, I remember going crazy when I learned Luna had a crush on Ron. Then Ron asked me to be his 'pretend' girlfriend, and I had said yes. We had spent the whole night, along with Harry and Ginny, planning it all out to a perfect point, where Luna couldn't ever spring a surprise question on us. We would be prepared.

But we werent, were we? No, everything had gone down the drain when we played Truth Or Dare. Deep down I know Luna plotted that game and it's outcome since the picnic before we came home.

I shake my head of thoughts about the past day, 'Alright guys! This should be fun, lets hurry up.'

Everyone nods and we all start making dinner, Lavender cutting the bread, Ginny putting things inside them, and me, setting the table. When we've finished I walk upstairs, where Luna and Ron are STILL fighting. There is glass on the floor next to the window, Luna obviously got very mad at one point, throwing a vase at Ron's head ... or trying to at least. There is no cut on his head, so I assume she missed.

I clear my throat to gain attention in the room, 'Dinner is ready, whenever you want, come down.' I walk out of the room quickly, not looking back.

'Are they coming down?' Lavender asks when I walk into the kitchen.

'They'll be down soon.' I tell her as I sit down at the table. Ginny and Lavender follow my lead, taking a seat on either side of me. We all silently begin to eat, a loud crash and thud from upstairs casues us to look up quickly.

'What was that?' Lavender looks at me, wide eyed.

'Oh Merlin! What do you think is going on up there?' Ginny asks me, dropping her glass on the table, spilling the fruit punch all over the table cloth. 'Shoot!' She says and starts cleaning it up.

'I'll go check!' I put my napkin on the table and push my chair out, running up the stairs.

I walk through the hall until I'm standing infront of Ron's door again. I take a deep breath and put my hand on the door knob but before I have a chance to open it's thrown wide open and I'm standing face to face with Luna Lovegood. She glares at me, her cheeks red with anger and her eyes wet with tears. 'You! You!' She breaths, 'I hate you! You snobby, stuck up, spoiled bratty, SLUT!' She yells at me before she pushes me hard against the wall and storms down the stairs and out the front door, slamming it hard behind her.

I move from the wall, my back slightly sore from where it hit the small side table sitting against the wall. 'What's going --' I freeze in my tracks as I look around the room. The curtians have been pulled on one side, the pictures that are still ON the wall are all slanted, or sitting at the edge of the wall and the carpet. The bedside table is pushed closer to the bed, as if someone has kicked it. The vase is still in shards of glass near the window, clothes are spilling out of their places in drawers and dressers all around the room.

Harry is standing next to the open closet door, which looks like it's been torn through, looking slightly nervous and uncomfortable. Ron is sitting on the bed, a deep gash across his forehead. He smiles weakly and looks up at me, 'Hey Mione.'

'What the hell happend here?' I say, still looking around the room.

'Erm ... Luna? She just got a bit ... angery.' He jokes lightly.

'Oh.' I say coldly, turning to leave.

'Mione wait, can I please talk to you? You don't understand any of this. It's really not what it seems. I don't actually like Luna! Infact I find her very very annoying. But, erm ... something happend and --'

I cut him off, 'Ron, you don't have to explain to me. Of course something changed, and you now see Luna in a different light. Don't worry about it. It's your business, not mine.'

'Mione listen! Please! It's not like that.' He begs.

I walk out of the room and into the bathroom, I grab a wet wash cloth and some bandages. I rush back to Ron's room, sitting on the bed next to him. 'Hold still.' I sigh. I start to clean the cut, which is now bleeding rather hard, 'How did this happen?' I ask him.

'Erm ... Luna threw a glass of water at me.' He says quietly, seeming a bit shy.

I sigh again, 'Oh.' That's all I say as I watch Harry leave the room slowly. I shake my head slightly and keep cleaning the blood up. Once it almost stops bleeding I blow on it, Ron is staring right into my brown eyes but I don't look into his. I take a bandage and put it over the cut. 'There.'

I get up and walk out of the room, leaving Ron there by himself.

'Guys? Lets get going, it's almost eleven already. We still have to change and get there.' I say when I'm back in the kicthen.

'Alright, Harry could you clear the table and wash the dishes when you and Ron are done eating?' Ginny asks as she gets up from her chair, Lavender doing the same.

'Yes sure, don't worry about it. Have fun alright?' He kisses Ginny lightly on the lips, 'Mione don't worry about Ron.' He turns to me.

'I wont.' I say coldly as I turn and walk back up to Ginny's room.

We all change as fast as we can and rush back downstairs. By this time it's almost midnight and Ginny, Lavender and I are all wearing the new Muggle clothes we bought that morning, along with a lot of makeup.

'Let the fun begin!' I laugh as we step into the fire.
