Dear Fred and George,
You guys were right. About Hermione I mean. I love her. I don't know how I didn't see it before. But that's not the point...Listen, now Seamus is trying to go after her. I need your help, how do you ask out a girl with out freaking her out with your feelings? Please help me. I'm asking you as my brothers.
Ron
Ron magically sealed the letter and tied it to Pig's leg. "Bring this to Fred and George as fast as you can, okay?" He said, letting him out through one of the big open windows.
He hurried back to Gryffindor Tower and went up to bed. He hoped that he would get a reply from Fred and George the next day although he was sure he wouldn't.
Not only did Ron not receive a reply the next day, but he didn't receive one the day after that either. Or the day after that. Ron waited anxiously for a full two weeks before he got anything from his two older brothers.
On the first morning of the third week, Ron was enjoying a lively breakfast with Harry, Hermione, and Ginny when the owl post arrived. He saw a large tawny owl swooping towards him with a letter and large rectangular package in tow. Idiots. He thought. Why couldn't they send it at night when no one was around? The owl landed, knocking over a stack of toast. Ron quickly removed the brown package and letter from the bird, hoping against hope that the others wouldn't notice.
"Who's sending packages to you?" Ginny asked, examining the bird as though looking for clues. She reached towards the letter to look at the handwriting and Ron smacked her hand away.
"None of your business," He snapped. "I can have other friends besides you lot, can't I?" He asked as he gathered his belongings and left the Great Hall.
Ginny stared after her brother. "What with him? Why's he behaving so secretive?" She asked.
"You don't suppose it has something to do with that letter he sent a couple of weeks ago, do you?" Hermione asked.
"Maybe he's got himself a girlfriend." Harry suggested, laughing at the look on Hermione's face.
Just then, Cho Change crossed the Great Hall towards Harry and Ginny's direction. From across the table, Hermione nodded her head towards Cho. Harry and Ginny turned around to see what she was looking at.
Harry groaned inwardly. He would have rathered to not see Cho at all after their short lived…relationship last year. When Cho saw him looking she beamed at him. Harry gave her a small smile back, turned around, and took Ginny's hand which was lying on the table next to his.
Cho approached the group, still smiling at Harry, although Ginny could see she was eyeing their hands. Ginny squeezed Harry's hand and Cho began to speak. "Harry, you naughty boy we've been back nearly three weeks and you still haven't said a word to me!" She said, laughing and putting her hand on his shoulder. Ginny took a deep breath and Harry gripped her hand.
"Well, I've been er busy…you know, getting back into the swing of things-" He started, but Cho interrupted him.
"Oh yes. You have been busy, haven't you?" She asked, looking directly at Ginny. Ginny glared at her.
"Yes. He has," Ginny said, smiling sweetly.
Hermione snorted into her pumpkin juice and Cho ignored her. "Well, it's been just lovely seeing you, Harry." Cho said, smiling down at Harry again. "We really should meet up. Maybe on Halloween? At Hogsmeade?" She said, once again placing her hand on his arm.
How dare she! Right in front of me! Ginny screamed in her head.
"Well, I'll be with my girlfriend Ginny the entire day," Harry said, adjusting his robes so Cho would have to take her hand off his shoulder, he then put his arm around Ginny's waist. "So we won't be able to." He added.
"Oh. Right." Cho said, looking slightly embarrassed. "Well then, I'll see you around, Harry." She said, walking off.
Ginny crossed her arms, feeling upset. I can't believe she did that! Talk about Scarlet Women! She thought, angrily.
"Sorry about that." Harry said, quietly, kissing Ginny on the forehead.
Ginny's anger receded slightly. "It wasn't your fault," She said. "I just can't believe she would ask you out, right in front of me!"
"I don't think she knew we were dating." Harry said.
"Of course she did! Didn't you see the way she glared at me? 'Oh you have been busy, haven't you?' What else could that have meant?"
"Gin, don't worry about it. Nothing is going to happen. I love you remember?" Harry said.
Hermione sighed inwardly, as Harry gave Ginny a kiss. Why can't Ron be like that? She thought sadly. "Come on, guys…let's go see where Ron got to."
