Chapter Seven:

The Futile Fight

When Harry got back from the park he found Ron waiting for him in their room.

"Where were you?" Ron asked.

"Out getting some air. Lupin took us." Harry said.

"Us?" Ron said sounding upset.

"Yeah Shane and I" Harry said.

"Oh, you're going to marry him now or something?" Ron said.

"What? What's your problem Ron! He's my friend, that ok with you?" Harry said sarcastically.

"NO, it's not ok!" Ron said running from the room.

"Like I said, he's a big baby." Shane said coming in the room.

"He's not, he is just upset right know." Harry said.

"Yeah, why?"

"I don't know"

"I do, because he doesn't want you to be friends with me."

"Why would he be upset about that?"

"Um…he's your friend. You tell me." Shane said flopping down on his bed.

"I going to go talk to him." Harry said.

"Whatever" Shane answered.

Harry found Ron in the kitchen sitting at the table with Fred and George playing exploding snaps. "Ron can we talk please." Harry said.

"Nah, that's ok I'll stay here." Ron said not looking at him.

"Ron just come here alright. I can't fix this if you wont tell me what's wrong." Harry pleaded.

"Fine" Ron said getting up and walking into the living room where he flopped down on the couch.

"Well?" Harry said sitting next to him.

"Well what?" Ron asked.

"What is bugging you?" Harry asked.

"Maybe you should go ask Shane. I sure bet he'd love to put in his two cents." Ron said getting up and stomping down the hall.

"What?" Harry said following him.

"Leave me alone ok?" Ron yelled at Harry.

"Fine" Harry said back even louder.

"Who is doing all that yelling?" Lupin said sticking his head out of a room. "Some people are working you know?"

"Wasn't my fault." Harry said stomping up the stair. When he reached the top he saw Airean watching him.

"What's up?" She asked.

"Ron is being a pain" Harry said.

"Oh" She said. "Why"

"I don't know"

"Ok" Airean said passing him and going down the stairs.

'Whatever' Harry thought to himself.

Harry went up to his room and found Hermione and Shane sitting on his bed talking.

"What's up?" He asked them.

"Oh hi Harry" Hermione said.

"Hey" Shane said.

"Was that you and Ron yelling before?" Hermione asked.

"Yup, he is such a baby." Harry said sitting down next to them on his bed.

"Oh now he sees it" Shane said.

"Very funny" Harry said to Shane.

"What?" Hermione asked looking at the two of them.

"Never mind Hermione" Harry said.

"I'm hungry I going to get some lunch." Harry said.

"So what were you guys talking about before I came in?" Harry asked as the turned to leave.

"Oh…um…-" Hermione said blushing.

"You" Shane said.

"Really? What about me?" Harry said.

"Oh nothing" Hermione said blushing.

"Alright but I'll be watching you two now." Harry joked as he left.

Hermione didn't look amused.

'Man what's up with her' Harry thought.

When Harry got downstairs he saw Airean sitting at the table in the kitchen.

"Hey, do you know what's up with Hermione and Shane?" Harry asked.

"I…um…I know what's wrong with Ron." Airean said looking away.

"That's great but that's not what I asked." Harry said.

"Well that was you should be worried about." Airean said.

"Fine what's his problem then huh?" Harry answered.

"He's jealous. He thinks your starting to like Shane more then him because you two have more in common." Airean told him.

"That's it? That's what he's going on about! I should kill him! I was running around worried for nothing!" Harry raved.

"Harry! It's not nothing, to him it's very important! You're his best friend and he doesn't want to lose you." Airean said sound very disappointed.

"That's not what I meant. It's just he should know by now that we're always gona be best friends no matter who I make friends with." Harry said.

"Well go tell him that." Airean said.

"Fine" Harry said forgetting all about being hungry.

Harry made his way back to his room to see if Ron was there. He was about to push the door open when he heard voices from the other side talking about him.

"I don't want to be Harry's best friend so just lay off he's all yours." Shane said angrily.

"Yeah whatever" Ron said.

"Listen you want to know something about Potter huh?" Shane said almost yelling. "Every time I'm around him he never once has not mentioned you and your little girlfriend ok! He's mad about you two! You're like his family, so get it straight and leave me alone already!" Shane said as he flung the door open letting Harry fall flat on his face.

"And you stop being nosey!" Shane said to Harry as he stepped over him and left.

"How'd he know I was here?" Harry asked getting up.

Ron shrugged and sat down on his bed.

"So is it true?" Ron said looking at Harry.

"Is what true?" Harry asked.

"Did you say all those thing about Hermione and I?" Ron said.

"Yeah you're my best friend and Hermione is great friend too." Harry said. "And that's not changing so calm down ok?"

"Ok" Ron said.

"Well that took long enough." Harry said laughing.

"Yeah it did" Ron said smiling.

Harry and Ron played chess for the rest of the day. About halfway thought their third game Shane came back in the room and sat down on his bed. He just watch them play for a while till Harry couldn't stand it anymore. 'If they're both going to be my friends they're going to learn to get along' Harry thought.

"Hey you ok?" Harry asked Shane.

"Yeah…sorry about before I was just kind of blowing off steam."

"No big deal" Harry said. "Right…" Harry added looking at Ron.

"Oh…yeah sure. I'm sorry too, I was kind a jerk to you." Ron said.

"Lets just forget this all this ever happened then ok?" Shane said.

Ron smiled. "Sure"
