There For You
Chapter 2: Spies and Ugly Dresses
Author's Note: Hey guys, sorry for the delay. I wanted to get this up yesterday but homework was of course in the way. Don't worry though, I think about this a lot. I'm planning what I'm going to write when I do other stuff. Anyway, thank you all so much for the reviews! I'm really glad you liked the first chapter! Alright, this chapter takes place on Sunday. I don't know when returning students would come back so I decided that they came back on a Saturday so this is the next day. Also, thank you for the reviews! 23 for the first chapter! Wow! Ok, here we go!
Ron woke the next morning after only a few hours of sleep. His argument with Hermione kept replaying itself in his mind. He was angry with her. She was so perfect all the time. She always acted rationally and didn't let him do what he wanted. If he wanted to knock out all of Malfoy's teeth, it was his decision not hers. And he hated it when she bothered him about saying You-Know-Who's name. Every time he heard it, it gave him chills. He just couldn't bring himself to say it yet. But the way she had looked at him last night. It made his heart hurt when he thought about the look in her eyes. It was like he had betrayed her. He groaned and pulled the sheet over his head. Harry opened the door to the room and looked to see if Ron was awake.
"Hi Harry," Ron said dully.
"Hi Ron," he answered to the sheet.
"Where've you been?"
"Just downstairs." Ron pulled down the sheet and looked at the clock. It was ten.
"Have you had breakfast yet?"
"No I was waiting for you."
"Ok, let me get dressed." Ron stood and hastily grabbed a jumper and a pair of trousers out of his trunk. He followed Harry out of the dormitory and they walked to the Great Hall.
"So where's Ginny?" Ron asked. "And Hermione," he quickly added.
"Oh they're in the library."
"I thought they finished their work at home?"
"They did."
"Then what are they doing?"
"Reading I suppose."
"What does Ginny have to read?"
"I don't know Ron! Go see for yourself if you're so curious." Ron looked down at his shoes and stayed silent the rest of the way. Harry shook his head. He knew what they were doing but didn't want to tell Ron. Hermione had been in the library all morning talking to Ginny about Ron. Harry had gone in for a few minutes to see them but didn't want to stay long since Hermione was crying. He felt Ginny would be a better comfort for her. He knew Ron was out of line last night but didn't want to talk about it with him. Even though Ron could be insensitive, he was still Harry's best friend and he didn't want to start an argument.
They had breakfast with Neville and Ron was unusually quiet while they ate.
"Alright Ron?" Neville asked. Ron nodded unconvincingly. Neville looked at Harry questioningly. He glanced at Ron.
"Um, Ron and Hermione had a bit of a row last night." Neville looked at them confused.
"But you were so happy at dinner last night." Ron stabbed his fork into his sausage and shoved it into his mouth. Neville looked away nervously.
Dean and Seamus came in to invite the others out for a snowball fight. Ron perked up and agreed. Harry shrugged and he and Neville them around telling people to come out. They spent the rest of the morning and most of the afternoon playing outside. Ron's mind was temporarily taken off of Hermione.
An hour before dinner, after a long battle with Harry, Neville, the Creevey brothers, Seamus, Dean, Ernie Macmillan, and many other students, Ron decided to go inside to warm his cold body. As he headed to Gryffindor Tower, the library came into sight and he curiously walked inside. He looked around for Hermione and found her at a table in the corner. Her face was a little red but she wasn't crying. Ginny sat beside her reading what looked like an extremely boring book in Ron's opinion. Hermione was quickly writing on a piece of parchment. She already had half the page done. She stopped for a moment. She took a deep breath and looked up. Ron jumped behind a row of books and peeked around it a minute later. He watched as a tear rolled down her cheek as she continued to write. Ron swallowed hard. He had made her cry again. 'Why am I such an ass?' he wondered. He sighed and left the library when Hermione wasn't looking. As he exited, Ginny looked up and saw his back disappear through the door. She put her hand over her eyes and shook her head. If he was going to spy on Hermione, why couldn't he just come and apologize? Ginny wished she could leave but didn't want Hermione to feel lonely when she was upset. Thankfully, Harry came to her rescue. About fifteen minutes after Ron had left, Harry came in and sat at the table with them. His hair was wet and his face was red from the cold. Ginny laughed.
"Get a water balloon attack from Peeves?" He grinned.
"No, snowball fight."
"Oh," she said disappointedly.
"I would have got you," he whispered. "But," he motioned to Hermione with his head. Ginny nodded.
"Don't talk about me like I'm not here," Hermione snapped, looking up. "You could have come and got Ginny. I wouldn't have cared."
"It's alright Hermione," Ginny said. I don't want to leave you."
"I'm fine," Hermione said. "I don't mind being by myself."
"Well, why don't we go eat dinner?" Harry suggested. "I'll just go dry off and change then we can go eat."
"Alright, we'll meet you down there," Ginny told him. Harry nodded and gave her a quick peck on the cheek. He walked out of the library and Hermione rolled up her parchment.
"I'm going to owl this."
"Ok. I'll see you at dinner then?" Hermione shook her head.
"I'm still full from lunch. I need to do some reading anyway so I'll see you later."
"Hermione you have to see him sometime."
"I'm not hungry alright?"
"Hermione."
"Bye." Hermione picked up her bag and left. Ginny groaned and gathered her belongings together. She pushed in her chair and walked to the Great Hall.
Hermione quickly walked to the owlery. On her way there, Ron was walking the opposite direction and coming nearer. He noticed her and slowed down.
"Hermione," he said as she walked past him without a word.
"Hermione wait." He caught up to her and she continued as fast as she could. With his long legs, it was no problem staying next to her while she was practically jogging.
"Can we talk?" he asked. She kept her eyes forward and didn't answer him. He took her arm and stopped her.
"Please can we talk?" She pulled her arm away and continued walking.
"Hermione! You can't ignore me forever!" The distance between them grew larger until she turned a corner. He swore loudly and a portrait nearby of an old woman with the ugliest dress Ron had ever seen and hair in an extremely tight bun gasped at him.
"Oh shut up!" he exclaimed at her. She scoffed and folded her arms across her chest as he quickly walked to the Great Hall. He sat down roughly beside Ginny. He slammed his fist on the table and his forehead dropped down on it. Ginny eyed him strangely.
"She won't even bloody talk to me," he mumbled.
"Do you blame her?" Ginny asked. He pulled his head up and glared at her.
"Look I know I acted stupid last night! I didn't mean it!"
"Then tell her!"
"I was going to but she just walked away!"
"Well you really hurt her feelings Ron! You told her she was bossy and too perfect and that she pisses you off! How would you feel?" He sighed heavily.
"Why did you say that?" she asked.
"I don't know. I was really mad at Malfoy and she kept telling me what I wasn't going to do and I just got madder. But you have to admit, she is pretty perfect."
"Yes, but that isn't a bad thing. You made it sound like perfection was a crime. She only wants to help you." He nodded. Harry came in and sat across from them.
"You talk to Hermione yet?" he asked. Ron shook his head sadly.
"She won't talk to me."
"I saw you spying on us earlier," Ginny told him. Ron looked at her surprised.
"You did? Did Hermione see me?" Ginny shook her head. Ron exhaled thankfully. "Is she coming to eat?"
"No, she said she wasn't hungry."
"Damn. Where do you think she is?"
"She was going to the owlery but she might be gone by now." Ron stood.
"I'm going to check." He turned and left the hall. Ginny took a roll and bit into it. She put her foot on Harry's across the table and he grinned.
"The upside to them fighting is we get to be alone more." She snorted.
"When I'm not sitting in the library with her while she writes pages and pages to Krum."
"Oh she told Krum?"
"Yeah, I think so." Harry shook his head.
"Ron better not find out. He'll have a fit." Ginny nodded in agreement.
A moment later, a small brown owl flew up to Harry and dropped a note in Harry's soup. Ginny giggled and Harry pulled it out by the corner. He dried it with his wand and unfolded it. He skimmed it over.
"Dumbledore wants to speak with me after dinner," Harry told her.
"What about?"
"I don't know." He looked at the head table and Dumbledore winked at him, a sparkle in his eye. He turned his head as Professor McGonagall said something to him. Harry looked back at Ginny and shrugged.
Ron looked in the owlery and the library but Hermione wasn't in either place. He decided to look in the common room and jogged there. He hurriedly said the past word and jumped in the portrait hole. Hermione was sitting at their usual table fast asleep with her head laid on an open book in front of her. Ron didn't know whether he should leave or stay. He watched as a piece of her hair fell on her cheek. He crept forward and sat quietly in a chair beside her. He slowly reached forward and tucked the stray hair behind her ear. She slightly opened her eyes at the touch and upon seeing Ron sat up suddenly. He quickly pulled back his hand. She put her hand on her chest.
"Ron don't scare me like that again! I had no idea anyone was here!"
"Sorry," he mumbled. She shut her book and stood up.
"No wait!" He grabbed her hand and pulled her back down to her seat.
"Ron let go!" He held on tight.
"No! I want to talk to now!" She pursed her lips and shook him off but stayed seated. He took a deep breath and ran his hand through his hair.
"You don't piss me off." She scoffed.
"Yes I do. If I didn't, you wouldn't have said that."
"Well ok yes you do sometimes but.what I said last night.it's not how I really feel." He stared at the table and she leaned forward a bit, waiting for him to continue.
"Is that all?"
"No. I'm just trying to think of how to say it."
"Say what?"
"That I'm sorry." She sat back in her chair and folded her arms across her chest. He sat up and put his hand on her knee. She scooted it over but he pulled her leg back and firmly put his hand down. She rolled her eyes.
"I'm really sorry I hurt your feelings. Look you are bossy sometimes but I need it. And you do occasionally piss me off but in fairness, I know that I piss you off a lot." He saw the corner of her mouth turn up and he smiled slightly. "And I know that you want me to stay out of trouble. I just have a hard time controlling my anger at Malfoy. It's usually because of you though. I want to keep you safe." Her body relaxed a bit and his fingers made their way to hers. He kissed them softly and looked up at her face. She didn't look angry anymore. He gave her his lopsided grin and she laughed.
"You are such a prat," she said. He shrugged.
"Can't really help it." She nodded.
"I know. Alright, I'm sorry I made you mad. I don't mean to be bossy. It just comes sort of natural for me." He grinned and she laughed. "And you don't have to say Voldemort." She touched his face gently and he pulled her forward to his lips. After they released he said, "Good, I won't." She pushed him playfully and he hugged her.
Author's Note: Ok, since it took me so long to get this chapter up, I'm stopping here. If I went farther I wouldn't have had this up until tomorrow night. I plan on having the next chapter up tomorrow night actually so you guys won't have to wait long. I'll probably have it up around 11 p.m. though so most of you will find it Sunday. Sorry about the cliffy about Dumbledore's note but it would've taken me a while to put that part in this chapter so it'll be in next chapter. It's nothing serious. Most of you could probably guess what he wants. Again, sorry this took so long.
potterweasly: Thank you, I'm glad you liked it! I know they're young to get married but I thought it'd be funny if she had a ring and people thought that.
DreamOnForever: Thanks!
bballgirl02: Thank you! It'll get moving soon!
Thekecmaster: Thanks! Yeah, that usually means that they're engaged.
'Mione Weasley: Hello my faithful reviewer! Glad to hear from you! Thank you, I'm happy you liked it! I thought those would be funny things to add in. Don't ever worry, even when R & H fight in my stories, it will always turn out happy and fluffy! Yeah, it will be different than Chris but I think that's good. They're teens now so a change of direction is good in my opinion. Cuaron may be an H/H shipper but I heard somewhere (I don't remember where) that they were going to have some R/H related stuff in PoA. I did see the mugglenet pics. I think that Hermione holds onto Harry's arm in the book though. I'll check when I get a chance. I don't think he'll have any H/H hints in the movie. R/H all the way! Yay! Ok, bye!
hP fAn Fo LyFe: Of course they'll be together! Thanks!
kit kat kid: Thank you! I'm trying my best!
line-a girl form denamrk: Thanks! I'm writing as fast as I can!
ginny-weasley200304: No, they haven't gotten together in the books but they went to the Yule Ball together so I thought maybe I'd have her like him. I'll see what I'm going to do with it. Anyway, thanks! I'm glad you liked it!
angelface58: Thank you! And you're welcome about the e-mail!
shortywithbrains: Thanks! Of course I'll continue!
Puppydog-eyes: Thank you I will!
loli-chick336: Thank you! Lol, they will!
Joots: Lol, yes it's up! Yay!
KrisKG: Thank you! Glad you liked it! I'm just really picky about my writing. I have my own computer too! I have a bunch of different pictures to put on my background. Currently Josh Hartnett is up but I have HP pictures too! How do set a website as your homepage? That'd be nice to have mugglenet or ff.net as mine.
CheeseDiva: Thank you! You're so nice! Yeah, they fought but I can't keep them mad at each other for too long!
fredngeorgegirl: Thanks! No, I'm not putting it up on checkmated. It takes them too long to update chapters while I can put them up on ff.net whenever I'm ready. I prefer being without a beta. I agree though, I should have had her doing some more comforting things when they were on the train. Oh well, another time!
Kim: Thank you!
Lily106: I know, I'm typing as fast as I can! I just have had a lot of homework this week! Sorry! No, they didn't break up. Just mad!
HermioneClone: Thanks, I will!
ElmoRock3113: Thank you so much! Yay Lupin!
WackyWatermelon: Thanks! Ron just got a little mad. He has a bit of a temper, as we all know. No, sadly Malfoy will always be a prat. By the end of my story you won't like him even more!
the-love-of-ron: Thank you! I love Ron too! I love writing him all caring and sappy! It's so fun!
Imogen: Well, if you don't like it then don't read it! It's that simple! Your comment doesn't bother me though considering I have over 350 good reviews between this story and my last one. So hmmm, should I listen to you or them? Gosh, that's a toughy.

WackyWatermelon: Thanks! Ron just got a little mad. He has a bit of a temper, as we all know. No, sadly Malfoy will always be a prat. By the end of my story you won't like him even more!
the-love-of-ron: Thank you! I love Ron too! I love writing him all caring and sappy! It's so fun!
Imogen: Well, if you don't like it then don't read it! It's that simple! Your comment doesn't bother me though considering I have over 350 good reviews between this story and my last one. So hmmm, should I listen to you or them? Gosh, that's a toughy.
