Chapter Nine
The next week was extremely rough for Ron and Harry. Seamus was much more smug than usual and Hermione was getting upset, she had no idea why Ron and Harry were mad at Seamus.
"Hermione, I have to practice." Seamus said flirtatiously.
"Seamus! That is inappropriate!" Hermione laughed.
"Come on! I need to get ready for this test! Snape'll kill me if I don't know anything!"
"Fine! But we can't let anybody know! They'll spy! And Cheat! And…Not actually be prepared for the test."
"I know. We can just be really quiet."
"Okay."
"Look at them! They're sickening!" Harry exclaimed.
"Yeah…who cares. I'm going to go talk to Hagrid." Ron picked up his book bag and walked off to the Hogwarts grounds.
"Well hello, Seamus." Harry said coldly.
"Oh, hi Harry."
"Hey Harry. How are you?" Hemione said quickly.
"I'm brilliant, just grand. Mostly."
"What does the mostly mean?"
"Not all parts of my life are fantastic."
"Like what?"
"Oh you know, a teacher worse than Snape and…stuff."
"And stuff?" Seamus just kept egging him on.
"And…homework and…stuff!"
"Like what?"
"Oh you know what. You."
"Him?" Hermione looked puzzled. "What did he do?"
"I am not going to discuss this right now." Harry said.
"No, no Harry, I want to know."
"You made …Ron upset."
"How?"
"You…seem to not…do anything with us anymore."
"Oh…I'm sorry, but…I've been busy."
"We know! It's what happens when you have a sort of serious relationship."
"No! No, no, no! I haven't been spending all my time with Seamus. Just usually when I'm around you, sorry you thought that."
"Oh it's alright, we just didn't know." Harry smiled and went to the portrait hole and crawled out.
"Ron!" Harry saw Ron sitting by the lake surprisingly doing homework. Ron looked up, stood up and walked away. "Ron?" Ron still ignored him. "RON!" Ron turned around and rolled his eyes. He walked on.
"Ron, come here!" This time Ron obeyed...sortof,only instead of stopping at Harry, he moved on, and on and on and on without stopping.
