Why isn't anyone reviewing::sob: Please review…please? I don't own Harry Potter; I just keep him in a cage :poke poke:
Harry looked ay his schedule and smacked his hand to his forehead. "I forgot! We won't have any classes together!" Harry said, looking at Ginny sadly.
"Well, we'll get to see each other during break and lunch." Ginny said, looking on the bright side.
"I suppose, but I'm going to miss you."
Ginny beamed happily while her brother made gagging noises. She stuck her tongue out at him. "You're just jealous."
"Oh yes. Very. Harry, I love you." Ron said putting his hands together.
"I always knew you swung that way, Weasel." Said Malfoy's cold, drawling voice from behind him. "But I would have thought you'd have better taste than that. Oh sorry, I must have confused you with someone else."
"You only wish he 'swung that way', Malfoy." Hermione said.
Malfoy looked down at Hermione and for a moment he looked astounded by the quickly recovered with a sneer. "You're looking pretty good, Granger. For a mudblood." He said, smirking.
Ron jumped up, his chair scraping backwards and falling to the floor. He pulled his wand out from within his robes. "I'm warning you, Malfoy, I've got a lot of pent up anger. Don't make me take it out on you, though believe me, I'd be glad to do so. Now apologize." He said through clenched teeth.
"Never mind, Ron," Hermione said putting her hand on his shoulder. "He's just a little ferret." She said, with malice.
"Tell your girlfriend to watch her tongue." Malfoy spat.
"If Ron is gay…then how is Hermione his girlfriend?" Ginny asked as though speaking to a slow person.
"You better get your story straight." Harry added, laughing.
Malfoy turned pink and walked away beckoning for Crabbe and Goyle to follow.
"Idiot." Ginny muttered under her breath as they all left the Great Hall. "So what do you guys have first lesson?" She asked.
Hermione consulted her schedule again. "History of Magic" She reported, amidst groans from Ron and Harry.
"Oh, well, I have Herbology. Shall we meet in the courtyard for break?" She asked, looking at Harry.
"Of course," He said, taking her hand again. "Come on, I'll walk you to the door."
Harry walked Ginny to the front door where they shared a kiss before he bounded back to his friends. "Are we ready, then?" He asked, looking from one to the other.
"Yes. But, mate, could you stop with all the public displays of affection? It makes me sort of sick." Ron said, clutching his stomach.
"That's only 'cause you wish you had someone to love." Harry said, raising his eyebrows on 'someone'.
SHUT UP YOU IDIOT! Ron screamed in his head, shooting looks of daggers at Harry. Harry only smiled innocently as Hermione looked at the pair, confused.
The trio spent an extremely boring hour trying to stay conscious during Professor Binns' lesson and then they all went to go meet Ginny in the courtyard, yawning all the way.
Harry walked quickly over to Ginny and they immediately began to take a leisurely walk, talking animatedly, leaving Ron and Hermione feeling awkward near the stone wall.
Do it now, you idiot. Ron thought.
Hey! Who're you calling an idiot!
You! Just tell her how you feel! If you're good enough to be her best friend, you're good enough to be her boyfriend!
You know, you're right!
I always am.
Ron turned to Hermione who was staring off in the distance. He touched her arm to get her attention and left his hand there. "Hermione, look, there's something I need to talk to you about and I don't know how you're going to take it."
Hermione looked up at him, feeling hopeful despite herself. "Yes, Ron?" She asked. Please tell you love me...please please please. She thought.
But in that moment, both their hopes were shattered in the form of two bumbling, giggling girls. "Hermione!" Lavender and Parvati squealed, running over to their roommate.
"We saw you and Seamus walk down to breakfast together!" Parvati said, grabbing Hermione out of Ron's grasp and turning her around to face them. "What was all that about?"
"Nothing," Hermione said, giving Ron a look that clearly said 'help'. "Can't two people walk together without being engaged?"
Yes! Ron thought. She doesn't like him!
"Well we heard that he likes you." Lavender gushed,
I hate Lavender. What the hell kinda name is that anyway? What're you, a color? Ron thought bitterly as Hermione blushed.
"So, do you like him!" Parvati asked eagerly.
"I dunno…" Hermione said, catching Ron's eye. "Maybe."
Parvati and Lavender jumped up and down and squealed. Ron, feeling angry and rejected pushed himself off the wall and stalked off in Harry and Ginny's direction.
"What's up?" Harry asked, pulling himself reluctantly away from Ginny.
"Nothing…" Ron said, kicking the ground. "We better get to Potions." He added.
"Yes, I suppose we you're right," Harry said. "What do you have, Gin?" He asked turning back to his girlfriend and putting his hands on her waist.
"Uh…" She said, screwing up her face, trying to remember. "Transfiguration. "
"Okay, let's get back inside then," Harry said, turning towards the castle. "Hey," He said, looking around. "Where's Hermione?" He asked Ron, looking confused.
"She's off somewhere talking about Seamus." Ron said darkly.
"Ooh, does she like him?" Ginny asked, smiling. Ron glared at her.
"What?" She asked reproachfully. It wasn't as though you were going to say anything soon."
Ron opened his mouth to argue, but Harry pushed him forward. "Come on, you two, lets just go find her and get inside."
He walked quickly ahead of everyone else down to Snape's dungeon, not wanting to witness Harry and Ginny slobbering all over each other again. Harry and Hermione soon came in, sitting down on either side of him. Malfoy followed them with his group of cronies. "I saw you with your little girlfriend, Potter." He hissed. "How could you stand to kiss a Weasley?"
Harry jumped to his feet angrily. "You watch your filthy little mouth, ferret!" He roared, wand raised.
Just then, Snape entered. "Fighting, Potter?" He asked, swooping down upon the pair. "Ten points from Gryffindor." He said, smiling viciously.
Before Harry could say anything in his defense, Malfoy piped up "He was bragging about his new girlfriend, that Weasley girl."
Snape sneered down at Harry. "Please keep your romantic life out of my classroom, Potter." He said loudly. And with that he swept to the front of the classroom, and tapped the blackboard, bringing the day's lesson to the board.
The trio completed their potions, flasked them, brought them to Snape and headed upstairs to dinner.
Ron felt completely alone throughout dinner. Across from him, Harry and Ginny were talking about their days and making faces at each other. To his right, Hermione was having a conversation with Seamus which she seemed to be enjoying very much.
He ate his roast beef with out much gusto and barely finished his tart because he had made a command decision.
Later that night, he suddenly got up from his armchair and crossed the room towards the portrait hole. "Where are you going?" Hermione asked.
"To send a letter." He replied.
