Chapter 8

"Hanna Fudge! I thought her name was Alexis." Ron questioned them, dropping the girls diary.

"Ron, thats not even the worst part."Hermione reached for an issue of the Daily Prophet on the table."The 'other guy' that was with Mr.Malfoy was Corneilious Fudge, her father."

Rons face was furious with anger now, it was blood red. The Weasleys had lately been rivals with the Fudges. Theyve grown to hate eachother.

"Why would she keep this from us tough?" Harry asked, finally joining in on the conversation.

At that moment the door opened. As if right on cue, Alexis or Hanna, walked in.

"Why hello Hanna." Ron sneered in her face. " How ya been?" he picked up the diary and threw it on the ground again.

"Ron please." she wispherd back to him. " I couldnt tell you, I just couldnt." a silent tear rolled down her cheek.

"Why is that?" he asked with narrowig eyes.

"My dad, Cornielious Fudge had a deal with Lucius Malfoy. Draco and I were a part of it."

"Yeah, so? Why did you lie to me!" he snapped back.

"Ron, I..."she wiped back her tears. "My father is the head of the Ministry of Magic... he knew that I was his only child so he wanted to keep our family name known I guess. He thought that if I marry somebody with importance... a pureblood that people were afriad of I guess, that well be famous and people will know our name. Draco was the one. I have been arranged to marry him when school is over, after we are done with our 7 th year. Ive trying to tell ym father i dont want to be with Draco, but"

"You dont want to be with him? Ha! You practically drool over him everytime you see him." Rons anger was so great now, hed kill to have never met Hanna at this point.

"Ron! listen to her!" Hermione was apparently on her side.

"Then Lucius told me that if Idont do what he said." she wiped back another tear. "He would hurt alot of innocent people. I figuerd they would be from the ministry. So Ive been pretending to be in love with Draco, but i dont...I really dont, and Ron I"

"And Ron what?"he shouted ,"You lied to me, you messed with my head! I thought I loved you, but all you are is a Fudge, one of my familys biggest rivals, I should have never met you! All you are is are trash!"

Hanna dove up into her dormatory and slammed the door shut. She started to pack her things.

"Im leaving this place...Im never coming back. If Draco wants me, he can have me." She took out a pen and paper and started writing.

Down stairs in the common room a heated discussion arose.

"Ron she loves you! She was only trying to protect you."

"Harry shut up you are supposed to be on my side!" Ron sat in a big, overstuffed, red armchair.

"Harrys right Ron, she didnt love Draco she loved you. Get that through your thick skull."

"Whatever" ron slowly walked up to his dorm and lay down to go to sleep.

However, Ron couldnt fall asleep, he was thinking about the fight he had with Alexis...his first love, he then remembered kissing on the couch downstairs, laughing at lunch, and when they first met. Ron tried to hold back his tears..."She tried to tell me" he whispered to himself " She tried to tell me that night in the common room when she started talkng to me after Draco and my fight." he had now realized why Alexis did what she did "She really did care."

Ron raced down the stairs to find Hermione taling to another classmate ouf theirs.

"Hermione I need to talk to Alexis, I have to tell her Im sorry, To tell her that I love her."

"Finally someone came to thier senses. Good luck beacsue if you ever called me trash Id never speak to you again."

Ron rolled his eyes, "Please just go get her." Hermione waved good-bye to her friend and raced up the stairs

She came back down with a puzzled look on her face."Ron, Shes not up their."
