There For You
Chapter 10: I'm Right Here!
Author's Note: Ok, ff.net made a note that A/N aren't allowed to be chapters so I had to fix it making chapter 10 have a freakishly long note. Oh well! So, if you read my GAN before then you can skip ahead a little but if you haven't then here it is! First, I've decided to copy someone's idea (*cough* David Ken, hope you don't mind) and write the status of my story at the end of my bio to keep you guys posted. Also, some info that might interest you: When I finish this story, I have three more coming! One is an idea I've had floating around my head for a while. I've already written out a few scenes that I know for sure I'll be using but I don't have all of it figured out yet. I'm going to Arizona to visit family for Christmas so I'll probably get all of it finished and ready to type while I'm gone. It's going to be R/H (what else?) but it won't exactly be that at first. I really think you guys will like it. Hermione's going to be jealous, Ron's going to be confused and sad, Harry and Ginny will be confused, it will be great! Want better info than that? Ok. Ron's going to hear something upsetting, a girl (not Hermione) will like Ron and Hermione will get jealous (the tables will be turned!). There will be a very cute climax, which I already wrote. My second idea came from the challenge at checkmated.com for 'The New years Kiss'. I'll get that written over Christmas too. The third is.a sequel to this story! Another? You say. Yep! I'm going to finish out sixth year, skip seventh year, and make the sequel an after Hogwarts fic. Why am I skipping seventh year? Ok, there are certain things, like seventh year, that I don't want to write about. I don't want to come up with a way for Harry to kill Voldemort because I don't think I could do it justice. I'll just let J.K. take care of that. So, I'll just start the fic on the train ride home from Hogwarts and make the story about where they live, what they do for jobs straight out school, R/H's progressing relationship, Harry missing Ginny while she's still at school, etc. So, while I'm gone, I'm going to have plenty of time to write, trust me. There's not much to do at my grandparents house. I should still be able to put up chapters while I'm gone since my grandpa has a computer. I'll probably also start putting the New Years Kiss fic up on here and checkmated once I have about five chapters written. The deadline for the challenge is Jan.1 so expect it before then! I doubt I'll be done with this fic by then so I'll be writing two fics at once unless I get both fully written during the break. So, how does this all sound? Good I hope. So, lots going on! Anyway, to see the status of my story just check out my bio when you're wondering where a chapter is! Also, I found a quote that fits so well with this story and it's relationships! It's: Love isn't finding a perfect person. It's seeing an imperfect person, perfectly. Isn't that awesome?! I thought so! When I read it, I wrote it down and couldn't wait to tell you guys! Thank you all so much for your positive reviews to chapter 9 and my Giant A/N! I'm glad you're all excited about all my work I'm planning! I love you all! I'll probably get chapter 11 out by Friday or Saturday, ok? Also, if the text has a word then a period and another word right next to it with no space or capitalizing, that means I meant for it to be three periods in row like the person paused for a moment when they were speaking. I type it with three periods but then it gets changed on ff.net. I don't know how to change it! Just to let you guys know that I do know how to punctuate and all! Ok, here's chapter 10!
Ron was well enough to leave the Hospital Wing Monday but Madam Pomfrey permitted him to stay until Wednesday, the day Harry left. Malfoy couldn't leave yet. He wasn't faking this time either. After classes on Wednesday, Hermione and Ginny went to pick up their boyfriends. They all walked to Gryffindor Tower where Ron flopped onto the couch and Harry eased himself into a chair.
"Man when you're injured, that walk sure is tiring," he sighed dramatically. Hermione laughed at him.
"Oh honestly Ron! You've been resting for five days! You're fine now!" He draped his arm over his eyes.
"I'm.I'm not so sure." (It makes me laugh to imagine this!)
"Then I suppose you're too.injured to go to dinner in a little while?" He peeked at her from under his elbow.
"I think I might be alright by then."
"Yes, I thought so. By the way, I have the assignments that you two missed this week." She ran up to her dorm to get them. Ron yawned and stretched out on the couch. He turned to speak to Harry but found him kissing Ginny who was sitting on the arm of Harry's chair. Ron coughed loudly.
"I'm still in here," he said and covered his eyes with his hands. They ignored him. He peeked through his fingers and coughed again.
"Please don't have a snog session when I'm sitting right here!" he said, the volume of his voice rising with each word. Hermione came back down and dropped a large pile of papers on Harry's lap. He broke away from Ginny and he and Ron's eyes widened simultaneously.
"We only missed three days and we already have a mountain of homework!" Ron exclaimed as Hermione placed his pile beside him.
"I offered to bring you the assignments every day after class but you didn't want them," Hermione said.
"Well I didn't know we'd have so much!"
"If you start working on them now, you'll be done in no time."
"Oh sure, if I don't sleep the rest of the week." Hermione rolled her eyes. Ron rifled through the stack, his nose wrinkled in disgust.
"I suppose I could help you with it so you can get caught up quicker," Hermione said after thinking for a moment. Ron looked up at her happily.
"Really?" She nodded. "That'd be great!" She grinned at him.
"Would you help me too?" Harry asked her uncertainly.
"Of course Harry. So why don't you two put your work upstairs and then we can go to dinner." They nodded and headed to their dorm.
"Why is Hermione so willing to help us with our homework?" Harry asked when their door closed. Ron shrugged.
"I wondered about that too. But I'm not complaining!"
"I'm not either. It's just strange since Hermione is usually such a stickler for doing our work ourselves." Ron nodded and shrugged again.
"So are you really in pain?" Harry asked, his eyebrow raised. Ron laughed.
"No, actually I feel fine. Just having a bit of fun. Madam Pomfrey told McGonagall that I shouldn't start my detention until Monday since I'm still 'hurt'."
"At least you've got a good excuse," Harry laughed.
"Exactly!" The boys left their assignments on their beds and went back down to the common room. The foursome headed to dinner where Harry and Ron were congratulated by many on the Quidditch game. A few even complimented Ron on his fight with Malfoy, much to Hermione's displeasure. She glared at every person to come up to Ron and pat him on the back or shake his hand. A few minutes before dinner started, Cho Chang came up to Harry. She cleared her throat nervously and clasped her hands together.
"Hi Harry." He smiled at her.
"Hi Cho."
"You played a wonderful game on Saturday. Congratulations on winning. How are you doing?"
"Oh I'm fine. Nothing a little rest couldn't take care of." She nodded.
"I'm glad. It was really terrifying watching you fall. I was worried about you." She looked into his eyes and he nodded awkwardly.
"Um thanks Cho. I'm fine though, you don't need to worry."
"I think Dumbledore wants to speak now," Ginny said loudly. Cho looked to the Head table and stepped back slightly.
"Ok well, I guess I'll see you later then Harry. Bye."
"Bye." She walked to her own table, glancing back at him occasionally. Harry looked at Ginny and noticed her lips were pursed.
"You ok?" She nodded.
"Are you sure?" She turned her head to him and waited a moment before speaking.
"I don't think she's over you." Harry wrinkled his forehead.
"What are you talking about?"
"I think she still likes you!" Harry laughed.
"Oh come on Ginny! She just wants to be my friend. She doesn't like me! Does she?" He asked Ron. Ron didn't seem to want to answer.
"Ron!"
"Well I don't know mate. She did seem a bit.keen on you."
"Hermione, tell them they're wrong!"
"Actually Harry, I agree. She was very nervous talking to you. I think she could still have some feelings for you." Harry opened his mouth.
"You're all nutters!" Dumbledore called the room to attention so they couldn't argue about it anymore. Ginny eyed Cho with a look of hatred on her face.
"Good evening everyone!" Dumbledore said. I'm sure you are all eager to eat so I will make this quick. We have decided to hold a Valentine's Day ball for all students fourth year and above to bring some cheer to the school. It will take place the night of February 14 at eight o'clock. First through third years may only attend if invited by a fourth year or above student. This will be a formal occasion similar to the Yule Ball held here two years ago. I hope it will be an enjoyable experience for everyone! Now please, tuck in!" Food appeared on the tables and Dumbledore sat down. The students immediately began talking about the upcoming ball, as it was only a week and a half away.
"Another one?" Ron asked nervously.
"Oh Ron, it will be nothing like fourth year. You and I can go together and everything will be fine." He still looked uncomfortable.
"I can't dance. You and Krum danced a lot at the last one. I don't know if I can live up to that."
"It's easy Ron, don't worry. I'll teach you." She kissed his cheek and he nodded.
"Why is she still watching you?" Ginny said angrily to Harry. Harry glanced back at Cho and she quickly averted her eyes. He turned back to Ginny.
"Look Gin, you are my girlfriend. I don't feel that way about Cho. Stop worrying about her ok?" Ginny sighed and picked up her fork. She stabbed her sausage forcefully and Harry laid his hand on hers.
"Will you go to the ball with me Ginny?" he asked jokingly. "Unless you want to go with Neville again of course." She laughed.
"Only if you'll be there after to ice my toes." He chuckled and kissed her lips.
"I'm sorry Harry. Maybe I'm overreacting about Cho." He nodded. She smiled.
"Ok, I won't talk about her anymore. And yes, I'd love to go the ball with you." He put his arm around her shoulder and she leaned against him.
Author's Note: Another random chapter title but I couldn't think of a good one. Boring chapter? I know. I had a bit of writer's block on this one but I think I've got it figured out now. I hate having these chapters in between bigger plot things but I have to. Now you might think a ball is a stupid thing to have since so many people do them and that my ball will be pointless since both couples are already together. But I do have a reason for the ball: I want Ron and Hermione to dance. Lol. Come on, that's a good reason isn't it? Don't worry, I'll make it an awesome ball! You guys will love it! Oh! By the way, does anyone know when Ron, Hermione, and Ginny's birthdays are? I know Ron and Hermione's have been mentioned somewhere before but I don't remember where! So if anyone knows where to find that out, would you tell me? I thought it'd be fun to put in some birthday stuff. Ok, I think that's all I have to say!
Individuals: for chapter 9 and my Giant Author's Note. If you reviewed both then I mixed together a response for both. GAN=Giant Author's Note.
David Ken: Lol, sorry it didn't satisfy your Arnold needs. I thought about but I can't think of a way to add him in. Lol, maybe you could fit him into yours! Anyway, glad you liked it!
Sexy seeker: I agree. They can't all be as eventful as a Quidditch or Voldemort chapter. Thanks, I'm happy you liked it! GAN: I know, it is kind of confusing! I had trouble getting all of that into words. But I'm glad it sounds good to you! Hope 10 wasn't a disappointing chapter!
Bballgirl02: I know, isn't Ron awesome? GAN: I hope my new ideas turn out to be good! Nutcracker's going great, thanks!
Joots: I really don't know what I'm going to do about Ron being a prefect. I'll think about it and figure something out! GAN: Thank you! Nutcracker's going really well! And you're welcome! I could never forget you guys and I felt like I should have a way for you all to know what's going on with the story and me! Thank you very much!
Thecoolgirl6790: You're welcome! I'm sure it was confusing not knowing what a hickey was! Anyway, the fight will probably happen soon and I hope it turns out well! Thanks! And don't worry! I don't mind hearing about your life!
Winky55: Thank you!
PiNkRiBbOn13dancegirl: Nope Harry wouldn't die from falling! I couldn't kill off any of the characters. Lol, I like weird chapter titles like that. It doesn't tell the readers what the chapter is about. Yes, Nutcracker is going well, thanks. Sorry your school doesn't do that. I'm a Clara's friend and a Spanish understudy. Thanks for wishing me luck!
Lady Beriaron: Thank you! Yep, they're ok!
Miss Prongs: Thanks very much!
Shortywithbrains: Thank you! I know, Madam Pomfrey isn't the nicest lady. Lol. I play Clara's friend in Nutcracker. I haven't ever seen one with a Marie instead of Clara but I know there are versions like that.
Mione Weasley: Lol, you're so funny! Glad you liked her comment and the chapter! I liked writing it. I've never had popcorn chicken! Isn't that crazy! I want to try some! Lol! So, did you find this a boring chapter? I didn't know what to write! I hate it when that happens to me! Anyway, I read your sequel and I love how you started it! I've already reviewed it so I won't go into detail about it here. One thing though" GET R/H IN THERE SOON! Ok, that's all! GAN: 3 years, lol! I couldn't wait two weeks to update this! I'm seriously thinking about my fics all the time! Ok, not all the time but a lot!
Ashie: I'll try to make the H/G fight a good one! Lol, it's interesting how stories can be similar!
Potterweasly: Thank you so much! You are so nice! I love it when you review! Lol, anyway! I can't wait for my Cho/Harry/Giny fight. I can't make it happen too soon though, I have to have Cho talk to Harry a little bit at a time like I did in this chapter. Anyway, I got your e-mail and SN so we can talk!
Line-from Denmark: Thanks very much!
Lily106: Lol, I know what you mean!
Loli-chick336: Lol, glad you got it to work! I'm really glad you liked the chapter! It was good to have a calm one after the Quidditch one. Yes, Ron will eventually mention Draco's snoring! I won't forget about that! (Hopefully!) GAN: Thanks! I'm glad you want to read my other stuff, which I'll get up asap!
Cheese Diva: OMG, you are so nice and funny! Lol, no I'm not J.K.! That's really nice of you to say though! I wish I could give you a really long response but I really can say is THANK YOU! About everything you said! You really are incredibly nice and flattering! Thanks so much! GAN: Sorry it wasn't 10! Yes, 3 is a lot! We had 3 last weekend too! I'm ready for it to be over! And yes, there will be a sequel! Yay!
Hp/charmed obsesed: You're welcome! Sorry about the spelling stuff! My computer automatically adds a letter if it's left out of a word when it's the same letter next to each other in the word. Did that make any sense at all? Lol, I don't know! Anyway, I made sure to spell your name right this time!
ElmoRock3113: Thank you very much!

About everything you said! You really are incredibly nice and flattering! Thanks so much! GAN: Sorry it wasn't 10! Yes, 3 is a lot! We had 3 last weekend too! I'm ready for it to be over! And yes, there will be a sequel! Yay!
Hp/charmed obsesed: You're welcome! Sorry about the spelling stuff! My computer automatically adds a letter if it's left out of a word when it's the same letter next to each other in the word. Did that make any sense at all? Lol, I don't know! Anyway, I made sure to spell your name right this time!
ElmoRock3113: Thank you very much!
