A/N- I'm so sorry to have left this story for so long! I was on vacation and I didn't have time to write this chapter! So sorry! Anyways, it's up now so I hope you all enjoy!
Chapter 5: You're such a git…
"Ron?" Harry called. "Ron!" he climbed the stairs to his room.
"Ron, are you in here?" Harry opened his trunk and picked up a tattered piece of parchment. He looked around and whispered as he tapped it "I solemnly swear that I am up to no good."
A map of Hogwarts appeared filled with little labeled dots. Harry scanned the surface of it looking for "Ron" he chuckled "So you're hiding in the kitchens are you" he pocketed the Marauder's map and trotted down stairs.
-o-
"Ron? Look Ron, I'm sorry ok?" Harry said tiredly. "Don't be such a git and get out here now"
Ron walked towards Harry and scowled at him.
"I know you'd be laughing at me if I turned into a cat…"
"You would make a really ugly cat" Ron couldn't help but smile.
"Hey!" Harry said in a mock hurt voice.
"Well… maybe not as ugly as Crookshanks" They both laughed at this.
"Come on, let's go upstairs" Harry said bending down to pick him up.
"Don't you touch me!"
"I won't grab you the wrong way!"
"I'd rather walk thanks…" he laughed at Harry.
-o-
"I see you both made up" Hermione smiled smugly petting Crookshanks.
Ron grimaced as he winked at him.
"Ron… are you ok mate? You look like you're going to be sick"
Hermione looked at Crookshanks and laughed. Harry looked confused.
"What- Harry started
"Umm, Ron made a very unique discovery today… it seems as though my cat is a… homosexual" she looked at Harry
"What?"
"He's quite fond of Ron too" she stifled a giggle.
Ron glared at Harry daring him not to laugh, but he looked appalled.
"That's disgusting Hermione!" Harry winced at the idea of two blokes…
"It's a very natural lifestyle… they can't help it"
"But Ron isn't a…" He edged further from Ron.
"No I am not!" Ron looked disgustedly at Harry.
"I was just asking…"
"Oh shut up Harry… you're such a git sometimes" Hermione laughed.
"Anyone else hungry? I'm starving…" Ron changed the subject.
"Yeah, let's go down to eat"
Harry and Hermione went downstairs, Ron once again in Hermione's grasp. On the way to the Great Hall they encountered Ginny.
"Hey Ginny" Hermione said cheerfully.
"Oh, hey guys! Where's Ron?"
Harry looked at Hermione uneasily, although Ginny didn't seem to notice.
"Oh, didn't he tell you? He went to the Burrow to visit your mum"
"Oh… well when he gets back will you tell him that Fred and George sent him a package of fireworks. On the other hand, no don't tell him… I already used all of mine last week" she laughed.
Harry and Hermione chuckled and Ron scowled after his sister.
"I can't believe her! Just wait until I'm back to normal…"
"They're just fireworks Ron…" Hermione laughed.
"But I paid for those"
"All right food!" Harry said trying to avoid another row.
Ron leaped onto the table and into the nearest mashed potato bowl.
"Ron, that is disgusting, please remove yourself from the mashed potatoes!"
"Fermyneeth! Bufth I like Mashrd Pothatoeth!"
She shook her head gravely while others looked amused at the cat in the mashed potato bowl.
-o-
"Are you still knitting those things?"
"Yes Ron!" she said exasperatedly
"Why? Those poor elves must be terrified of coming up here!"
"They should have proper clothes!"
"They don't like proper clothes!"
"Because they've been brainwashed!"
Ron sighed and shook his head. After they had eaten their dinner they all went to the Common Room. Harry was in a corner playing chess with Ginny. Ron couldn't help but feel annoyed that Ginny was destroying Harry's army. He just kept staring at her! He better not touch his little sister of he would…
"Ron! Hello" Hermione snapped her fingers around his ears.
"Huh? What?"
"Stop staring daggers at them, they're just playing chess"
"Yeah well I recognize that look on Harry's face and I'm not liking it one bit"
"Forget about them…"
"Fine…" Ron crossed his front legs and laid on his belly. Then he noticed something weird, Hermione's yarn ball fell out of the chair and rolled on to the floor. He couldn't help but notice that it was so interestingly… interesting. He jumped off the chair and stared at it for a bit, it looked like a normal yarn ball, and yet it was so odd, he just had to touch it… and push it, and chase after it.
Hermione noticed this and looked at Ron playing with the yarn ball laughing quietly. He kept rolling it around until he finally got so tangled in it that he could hardly move.
"Argh! It attacked me!"
"Don't be such a git Ron" she laughed "Here, I'll help you" she tapped the mess of string on him with her wand and it neatly rolled itself once more onto the ball.
"I'm tired"
"Yeah, me too. Let's go to bed" She gathered her things and picked up a yawning Ron.
-o-
"I'm gonna take a shower ok?"
"Yeah" he yawned as he trotted towards his cushion.
"What are youdoing there?"
"Trying to sleep… want to join me?" Crookshanks winked at him.
"Er… no thanks!" Ron ran away and jumped on Hermione's bed.
"Come on, I know you want me" he purred.
"Hermione make him stop!"
"I'll be right out!" her voice came muffled from inside the bathroom.
"Oh forget it, I'm too tired. But you're welcome to join me ginger" he winked again.
"What is it this time Ron?" Hermione got out in her pajamas.
"He took my cushion!"
"So share it" she laughed.
"You're not gonna…make me sleep with him there, are you?" Ron looked horrified.
"I suppose you can sleep on my bed tonight… but JUST tonight ok?"
"I ahh… er.." he knew he must be blushing now. "Maybe I should sleep outside instead?" he looked at her. "I, I mean I don't want to umm, make you feel uncomfortable or anything"
"Fine"
"Ok…" he turned around and headed towards the door.
"Argh! That Seamus! Colloportus!" the door sealed itself with an odd squelching noise and Parvati and Lavender entered the room looking scandalized.
"Another fight?" Hermione asked.
"Yes! I just CANNOT understand him sometimes!" Lavender jumped on her bed and shut the curtains on her bed forcefully.
"He's such an idiot…" Parvati added climbing up on her bed too and shutting the curtains too.
Hermione went over to Ron and placed him on her bed.
"I was going outside to sleep" he whispered.
"I forgot my wand outside, I can't unlock the door" she whispered back frowning at him.
"Umm, can't they unlock it?"
A snore was heard.
"Guess not" He blushed deeply.
"Goodnight then…" she felt her cheeks burning slightly.
"Yeah…" he whispered back and lied down next to her.
A/N- Well that's it for chappie 5! Hope you enjoyed it !
