Chapter 4: Unexpected Happenings
Ronald Weasley was sulking. He hated fighting with Hermione, but under the circumstances it was also a great big turn on for a guy. 'I wish I knew how to tell her that I'm feeling this way about her.' Frustrated with himself, he lashed out the only way he knew how.
"Bloody stupid girl," he cursed.
"Who's a bloody stupid girl, Ron?"
Ron yelped. "Bloody hell, Ginny, give a bloke some warning next time."
"Sooorry." Ginny rolled her eyes, then grinned widely. "So, who is the stupid girl? Wait a minute, let me guess this one. Hmm, could it be...Hermione!" she shouted dramatically, throwing her hands in the air.
"How did you know?" Ron asked, suprised, but amused with her behavior.
"I am a girl, Ron," she said, stressing the word 'girl.' "You would think after sixteen years of living with me that you would remember these things, since I am obviously your SISTER. Although, it did take you four years before you figured out that your best friend was an actual girl." She sighed. "Boys can be really stupid sometimes."
"Hey, I resent that! I just have no clue what to do about... oh nevermind," he dismissed.
"Dear brother, I already know what this is about." Ginny sat down next to him.
He became curious as to how she knew. "You do? Well then, what is it that I am having trouble with?"
"Its about girls, or should I say one girl in particular?" She rolled her eyes again. "Haven't we already covered this part?"
Ron ignored her last words. "I really don't know what to do about Mione. Its like she is in my every thought and feeling, you know? Haven't you ever felt that way about someone?" he asked, the words pouring out of his mouth.
Ginny looked suprised at the fact that Ron actually told her what was wrong. Thinking about an answer to his question, her thoughts became focused on a certain Slytherin. In a shaky voice, Ginny barely came out with, "No, not at all Ron."
"Are you ok, Ginny?" he asked, truly concerned.
"I am fine." She stood up. "We better head down to the dungeons. It's already 6:20 and we don't want to piss Snape off for being late."
"Yeah, alright. I guess it will give me some time to think about what I can say to 'Mione later on. Thanks for the help, little sis," he said, putting his arm around her as they exited the portrait.
"No problem, big brother. After all, it's what I'm good at," she said smugly.
Two hours later, Ron and Ginny entered the common room looking like they had just stepped off of a garbage truck.
Harry smiled as his two friends sat down across from him and Hermione. The latter having her head stuck in a book. "Looks as though you guys have been run over by a train," Harry observed.
Ron and his sister gave Harry a weird look. "Huh?" theyasked in unison.
Harry chuckled. "Nothing, its just a muggle saying."
After a few minutes of doing nothing but sitting, Ginny turned to Harry. "Aren't you tired, Harry? I mean you've probably had a very hard day, planning those quidditch strategies and all." Nodding her head at Ron and then Hermione.
After a couple of seconds Harry finally realized what Ginny was implying. "Oh right, yeah I am beat." Faking a yawn, he stood up and headed towards the boys' dorms. After a few minutes Ginny decided to follow.
"Goodnight dear brother." Giving him a hug she whispered in his ear, "Talk to her." Turning to Hermione and doing the same thing she whispered, "Don't make me hurt you," she threatened, "you better talk to Ron. TONIGHT."
Ten minutes later Hermione finally lifted her head to look at Ron. "I guess we should probably head back to the Prefect Headquarters."
Startled, Ron replied, "Yeah I guess we should. Look Mione," he fidgeted, "I don't like fighting with you, ok? Lets just be friends and try not to fight this year."
"Friends," she whispered to herself. "Yeah about that...ummm, Ron I have something to tell you, and its definitely not easy to say, but..." She stopped.
"Yes, Mione?" he sounded eager, blue eyes focused on her.
"I don't know how to say it." Hermione sighed, tucking a piece of hair behind her ear and biting on her lip nervously."Oh god, this is so embarrassing. I really want to tell you this, but I..."
"You know you can tell me anything, Hermione," Ron replied seriously.
Getting up from her spot on the couch she started to pace back and forth. "This is going to be really hard for me Ron, so I am going to just come out and say it." She took a deep breath and gathered up some of her so called Gryffindor courage. "Ever since my second year, I started to have these weird feelings that I couldn't place or barely comprehend. For the past five years these feelings have started to grow and I had no idea what to do and I tried to tell you but it would be really hurtful if you didn't feel the same way and.." Hermione was cut off by someone's warm, soft lips pressing against her own.
Opening his eyes and pulling away, Ron started to stutter seeing the surprised look on her face. "Bloody hell, I'm so sorry Mione, I thought that you..." He was cut off by her pressing her lips against his. Shock filled him as she did this. 'What the hell are you thinking for? Kiss her back mate!' Smiling, he slowly, but sensually pushed her lips open with his tongue. Hermione rolled her tongue up and down over his and moaned into his mouth. Tingles shot up her spine and made her shiver with pleasure. Coming up for air they slowly pulled away, blue eyes looking deeply into brown. Smiling, Ron pulled her into a hug.
"That was the best kiss I have ever had," Hermione replied with glee.
Ron laughed. "Definitely."
She brought her forehead up to his. "What happens now, Ron?"
"Whatever you want, Mione," he said with a smile, pulling her into another kiss.
On her way to DADA, Ginny was pulled out of her thoughts. Today, so far, had been absolutely incredible. Hermione and Ron had finally admitted there feelings for each other! 'I am so glad I don't have to hear, 'what am I supposed to do about Mione?' and 'what am I supposed to do about Ron?' Laughing out loud, she happily made her way to class.
"Ginny, haven't I told you that it doesn't come across as good or sane when you're laughing to yourself out loud, especially when you are by yourself," Stephanie said, the word 'yourself' being stretched.
"Why hello? Have I met you before?" Ginny asked, teasing her best friend.
"Oh, stuff it. Its only the second day of school and I am here to grace you with my annoying presence," Stephanie joked.
"Hmmm, that's a good one, I'll have to remember that when you are being annoying." Ginny smiled. "So, what was your summer like? Please tell me some part of it had boys. At least one of us needs to be getting some."
Stephanie chuckled. "Sorry to say that I have not had sex this summer."
Ginny pouted. "You suck."
"I thought we agreed that we wouldn't talk about each others sex life when we're together."
Turning to her left, Stephanie found Draco walking beside them. "Well, if you wouldn't appear from the shadows like that, you wouldn't have to hear about it. Besides, nobody had sex this summer anyway," said Stephanie.
Tossing back his blonde hair, Malfoy smirked. " I did," he replied with a cocky smirk. Glancing over at the redhead, he asked, "You mean the little weasel didn't get any this summer? And with a body like that I might add." His eyes roamed over her nice physique.
Ginny's cheeks flamed a bright red. "Shove it, Malfoy. Why don't you go find your Parkinson slut? I'm sure she'll take care of your needs," she snapped back.
"Jealous Weasley?" he asked, grinning.
"Pfft...jealous." Without thinking and putting on a seductive smile, Ginny walked towards Draco slowly. "Dear boy, if I wanted you," her hand moved up to his chest, sending tingles through his entire body, "I could have you."
Pushing past him and laughing at the shocked expression on Malfoy's face, Ginny and Stephanie headed towards DADA.
"I cannot believe you did that, Ginny. Did you see the look on my cousin's face? It was bloody priceless." Stephanie smirked, still laughing as they sat in their chairs. She looked over at her best friend and smiled. "Do you know what this means?"
"What?" Ginny asked.
"It looks like you are actually getting over a certain you know who," Stephanie said happily.
Ginny smiled. "Yeah, maybe I am."
