-Buried Alive By Love-

Chapter Six: Ron, Hermione and Viktor.

They started eating, and Ginny couldn't look at Harry. She was feeling so embarrassed. All these days that they had become so close and had so much fun, and still for him she was only like a sister. She then looked at Ron who was so unhappy. He looked angry but also disappointed.

"Ron are you ok?" Ginny asked.

"Do you think that I look ok right now?" Ron answered.

"I only asked to see if you need anything."

"Well what I need is something that you can't give me."

"Ok."

Fred soon started joking and everyone laughed. Ron tried to join in but was too unhappy to succeed and so finished his food, stood up and went in his bedroom. Harry and Ginny felt sorry for him, but decided that it would be best to leave him alone. When everyone was ready, they went in the garden to talk, but both Ginny and Harry were quiet.

Soon Harry asked Ginny,

"Are you ok?"

"Yes. Why shouldn't I be?" she answered.

"Well you seem worried."

"I am sad because of my brother."

"I understand. Well want to go for a walk?" Harry asked.

"Um no, actually I am feeling tired and so I am going upstairs to sleep. Good Night." She answered and stood up to leave.

"Listen did I do something?"

"I already told you, No! It's just that ever since I fell the day you arrived my foot still hurts and so I need to go to rest."

He grabbed her arm and took her inside. "It's not true. Last time your mum asked you if you were ok and you answered that you were!"

"I didn't want to worry her and it's nothing serious!"

"But why don't you just tell her?"

"Listen I only want to go and sleep. Why are you making such a fuss?" Ginny asked angrily.

"Because when I asked you to come for a walk you always said yes, and today you said no!"

"But I'm tired! Just because I am like your sister it doesn't mean that I have to come for a walk if you say so!"

"Oh alright. Sorry I didn't think you would feel in this way." Harry said. "Good night."

"Goodnight." She answered and went in her room. She flung herself on her bed and started crying. Oh why do I still love him! She thought. He makes it clear that he only likes me as a sister and still I love him! He made me suffer so much, first with Cho, then ignoring me completely and now that we're spending time together and becoming so close, he says – and she started sobbing again.

-----

In the mean time Ron was in his room, drawing Hermione's face. He was actually good in art. As he was looking at his design of her he took out a photo of her and looked at it. Oh Mione, I do love you so much, why do you have to do this to me? He scratched his nose and then a thought floated in his mind.

I must go at Krum's manor and get her back. He thought angrily. She must come here! I can't stay here all-calm whilst Krum takes her away from me. But how, how will I get Mione back?

A thought came in his mind. He could send Pig to Krum's house and follow him on his broom. He was ready to fly all over the world all that matters was that he'd be able to find her. (It was still 7 in the evening.)

He opened his trunk and got his broom out. He then got Pig out and said,

"Come on, we got a big job to do. Go at Viktor Krum's manor, and I'll follow you, come on!"

The owl hooted and flapped its wings and started flying. It got out of the window. Ron got on his broom and flew out of his room. He started following Pig. It wasn't cloudy and he was worried of being seen by muggles, but soon was flying so high that would have definitely not be seen. After about two hour of flying he reached Pig and got him and they went down. They reached the ground and landed safely. Ron sat down and happened to have some muggle money that Hermione had given him and so bought some water and snacks.

-----

"Mum, Ron's not in our room neither!" Fred said.

"Well I don't know! I don't know were he can be!" Molly answered worriedly.

"Go see if he's in his room?" George asked.

"I'll go and check." Ginny said.

"I'll come with you." Harry said and followed her too. They knocked on his door and no one answered. "Well we must go in!" Ginny said, and Harry pushed the door.

He wasn't there and Harry and Ginny started looking.

"Look, Pig is not here!" Harry said.

"And there are photos of Hermione!" Ginny answered.

"Could it be that he sent Pig to Krum's house?" Harry said.

"Or could it be possible that he sent Pig to Hermione's house and he's following him?" Ginny asked feeling worried. "He would definitely try to hurt Krum if he'll find him."

"I don't know Gin, I don't know." Harry answered. Ginny started going pale and Harry put his arms around her. Krum was older than Ron, stronger and bigger. He could hurt him if Ron provoked him.

-----

After the small nap Ron took he woke up and saw Pig who was flapping his wings impatiently. "Oh alright! Let's go!" Pig soared high in the air and was followed by Ron who started flying behind him. They traveled for hours, and Ron felt so tired. But he was ready to fly for weeks if possible in order to find Hermione.

After some time, Ron started lowering and when reached the ground fell, sleeping. Pig hooted and he woke up and saw what lay ahead of him. He was in front of a Manor. Krum Manor, he read. He suddenly felt brave and left his broom on the ground and knocked on the door.

It was still half past 1 in the morning and Krum was still sleeping. A house-elf opened the door, and politely said, "Good Morning, Krum Manor here, who do you wish to speak to?"

"Viktor Krum."

"He's sleeping."

"I need Viktor Krum now!" Ron yelled.

"Certainly, would you please come in." And soon the elf whistled and another house-elf went outside and picked Ron's broom and took it inside. Ron looked around. Everywhere sparkled and the corridor was full of strange looking Bulgarians. They were Krum's forefathers.

I don't blame Mione, in wanting to come here, Ron thought, she'd feel like a queen here unlike at my house. He started feeling angrier at the thought of Hermione and Krum having spent a glorious night here. Suddenly he heard footsteps and so a burly man of about 21, approaching him. It was Krum.

"Oh, it's Meester Veezley. How can I help you?"

"I need to talk to Hermione."

"Buz, Herm-own-ninny iz not here."

"Cut the game Krum, get her here, or is she naked in your room after you finished her off?"

"I'm zelling you, she iz not here!"

"Listen, do you think that I am a fool? I know that you sent her an invitation and she came here!"

"For ze last zime I must zell you zat Herm-own-ninny is not here! It iz true zat I sent her an invitation, but she never zurned up! Now if you excuze me, I must go and zleep."

"I won't excuse anything, because I won't leave before I see Hermione."

"Vell in zat case you must go back zo England as that'z vhere she iz." And Krum started walking back inside, but Ron muttered something and soon Krum couldn't even move his toe.

"I must search for her myself." Ron said and he searched the entire manor until he realised that Hermione really wasn't at the manor. He then walked back to the main corridor and saw Krum looking angry. "Well gotta go and find my Mione. And beware, she's mine!" Ron said angrily and picked his broom and left leaving Krum being served by his house-elves trying to stop the hex.

He got Pig in his hands and told him, "Come on, back to England!" And he saw the owl flying back. For the first time he realised that he was at Bulgaria and flied back home.

(The night before, at the Burrow)

Molly was in her bedroom crying, and comforted by Arthur, who was also worried and tried to calm her. Fred and George were in their room and Bill and Charlie went back to their homes after Lee, and the girls had left. Harry was in Ron's empty room, and Ginny was also in her room crying. She soon got out of bed, put her nightgown on and went in her Ron's room forgetting Harry was there.

She opened the door and got on his bed crying. Harry saw her and didn't want to frighten her so he coughed. She looked at him and he could see that she was embarrassed. "Sorry, didn't want to wake you up."

"No it's ok. I wasn't sleeping." Harry answered.

"I'm so worried."

"I'm also worried. But you must calm down."

"How can I calm down?" Ginny asked crying. "My brother may be lost and hurt in one of Krum's dungeons!"

"No stop thinking that way! You must try to get some sleep."

"I can't. I am so worried." Ginny answered.

"Come on, get in my bed and sleep. I'll watch you and see that nothing happens to you and that you'll sleep." Harry said smiling.

"No, there's no need to."

"Listen, you're my youngest sister and I'm worried for you too. I care for you and don't want anything to happen to you."

"Thanks Harry," Ginny answered and hugged him. She got in his bed and he kissed her forehead and told her, "Sleep Gin, I'm here." She started drifting off to sleep and realised that she should be glad that at least he loved her as a sister and should be grateful for it. She soon slept and Harry watched her, smiling.

Suddenly he thought, what if I kiss her, she'll never know! At least I would have got the chance of kissing her. As he bent close and their lips almost met he heard some noise outside. It was still 7 in the morning. He looked outside and so an owl soaring high in the air and someone on a broom.

He shook Ginny to wake up. "Gin, it's Ron, he's back!"

"What?" Ginny said and got out of bed and looked outside and saw Ron. She cried with happiness. Her brother was still alive. She ran to wake her brothers and parents. They all came in Ron's room and he entered from the window.

"Sorry to worry you all but I had to do this."

"You went to Bulgaria and back?" Fred asked.

"Well I can fly!"

"Did you talk to her?" Ginny asked.

"No, she's not at Krum's."

"What? Then we must contact her family and see if she's there! I mean how could I have left her leave!" Molly said and started worrying.

"Listen I'll phone her parents. Just tell them that I need to speak to Hermione. If she's there they'll pass her to me, and if not we must worry." Harry said.

"Ok. Well phone her at about half past 9. Now let's go down and have something to eat." Arthur said. The others nodded, and so they went in the kitchen. With Ginny's help Molly prepared breakfast and soon the 7 of them were seated round the table. They finished their food and Ron stood up and said,

"Well I'll just go, wash and sleep!"

"Go, and I want it clear that this thing will never repeat itself." Molly answered without looking at him.

He snorted and went in his room. They heard him shut the door. Fred stood up and told his mother, "Well I am going to wash, soon George and I will go at the shop."

His mother nodded as she started cleaning and George went in his bedroom and checked their forms and applications for the shop. Ginny went outside in the garden and was followed by Harry who sat near her on the battered bench.

"Well at least Ron is back!" He said.

"Oh yeah, I am glad about that but I am still worried."

"Well don't worry, I'll phone Hermione's parents and they'll tell me if she's there or not!"

"But what if she's not there and something happened to her?"

"Listen, stop worrying!" Harry said and looked at her, "You're worrying for nothing!"

"I know, it's just that I don't want anything to happen to her."

"So why where you angry with me yesterday?"

"Well, you wanted me to come for a walk when I was tired."

"Oh come on, I am not so dumb, I realised that you were angry!" Harry said.

"I wasn't angry!" she answered and stood up.

"You won't admit that the boy who lived is right!"

"You're not right!"

"Yes I am!" he answered smiling.

"No you're not." she repeated calmly.

"Yes."

"No, and you're so annoying!"

"Ha Ha." Harry said and laughed. Ginny laughed too. At least he had made her forget about Hermione. She then, wanted to kiss him and bent down, but backed away. He looked at her and she said,

"You're the best brother ever but I got to go." And she ran back inside. He looked back at her. Well now I am sure that I have to forget her, he thought, and went back inside talking with Molly.

-----

A girl, who had spent a night crying, was on her bed looking at some photos. This girl was you-know-who. Yes you know who I mean, Hermione Granger. She was looking at the photos of Ron. He was smiling. She felt so sad and angry.

Why had he been so angry! He knew that she appreciated what his family did for her and no place could replace the Burrow. Ron, why did he have to be so difficult? She knew that she loved him, but at that moment she hated him, although if she would have saw him at that moment she would still have wanted to kiss him.

She went downstairs and started preparing breakfast. Both her parents had left for work. Suddenly she heard the telephone ring.

-----

"Well it's nine-thirty. Come on, Arthur did you get a telephone from the ministry?"

"Yes, Harry here it is."

"Wait a second, let me do some installment charm."

"Ok, but don't take long, cause we're worried!" Ginny said. Ron looked angry, but was determined to talk to Hermione too.

"Well here it goes!" Harry said and started dialing Hermione's number.

(Now this is the conversation.)

HG: Hello, Granger residence.

HP: Hello Hermione! It's me Harry.

HG: Oh hello, how are you?

HP: I'm ok. You?

HG: Not bad.

HP: So you didn't go at Krum's?

HG: Of course no. Do you think that I am not grateful for what the Weasleys did for me? I only left because of Ron.

HP: Well are you coming back?

HG: No. And now I have to go. Bye see you at school.

Ron was angry and got the handset from Harry's hands

RW: You can't just leave.

HG: I said I'm leaving. Say hello to your family for me.

RW: But I even want at Bulgaria for you, how can you do this?

HG: You went at Bulgaria because you didn't trust me!

RW: What do you mean?

HG: I never imagined that you would think that I'd prefer Viktor's manor than your house. Good-Bye.

And she left. Ron was angry, and the others were all looking at him. "She's right! I should have trusted her!" Ron said and ran in his room. The others were glad that Hermione was safe and so continued with their daily routine leaving Ron alone in his bedroom until he calmed down.
