Chapter Seven: Jealousy
"So then I said, "No it wasn't!" the 3 friends laughed heartily. Harry found it hard to hate Ron, even if Hermione liked him more than Harry. Ron was Harry's best friend after all.
"Oh Ron!" Hermione laughed. "You're so funny." And it was at this precise moment, that jealousy began to burn in Harry Potter's emerald green eyes. Jealousy, an emotion that Harry had just began to experience.
"Well, I'm off you bed, bye guys." Hermione gave a sideways glance at Ron before she left but Ron didn't notice, although Harry did.
"Yeah, I think I'm going to bed too." Harry said unemotionally and stood up to leave only to find him followed by his best friend.
"Hey mate, I got something I've been meaning to tell you about." Ron said as he yawned loudly as they reached the stairs.
"What is it?" Harry said nonchalantly stopping and turned to face Ron.
"Well, you see, I've had my eyes on someone, well more specifically a girl-" Harry's eyes widened. "-And I was wondering if you would-" Ron was cut off during his confession by Harry's angry voice. "You were wondering if I would help you win her over? Well, NO WAY PAL! YOU CAN DO THAT BY YOURSELF! I MEAN, MAYBE I'VE HAD MY EYES ON A GIRL TOO! AND I NEVER ASKED FOR YOUR HELP!" Harry clamped his hands over his mouth, shocked at his own declaration.
"You have?" Ron looked so happy that Harry started to feel guilty. "I'm so sorry mate, but I'm so bloody happy I think I'm going to cry!" Ron's voice cracked a bit at the end. Ron rubbed his eyes a bit and then calmed down. "So who's the lucky girl? Lemme guess, Parvati?" Harry was so glad Ron was being so nice that he felt his angry and jealousy dissolving. He shook his head and said, "After her being so bossy at the Yule Ball?"
"You're right! I can't picture you with her. Sorry bad guess!" Ron laughed then turned serious. "It's not that bitch Cho Chang, is it?" His eyes narrowed with suspicion.
"Ron," Harry frowned. "You know I got over her at the end of fifth year after she kept sobbing hysterically over her dead boyfriend good-old Cedric Diggory on our date."
"You're right," Ron apologized. "Sorry for suspecting you, mate."
"It's okay." Harry shrugged.
"So, who is the girl then, huh, old buddy, old pal?" Ron nudged Harry while winking annoyingly. "You are going to tell me, right?"
"But of course! And am I really that old?" Harry smiled.
"Of course not!" Ron laughed. "No really, who is it?" He suddenly grew serious. Harry opened his mouth, ready to tell Ron when suddenly-
"Ron! There you are! I've been looking all over for you!" Hermione came down the stairs of the girls' dormitories.
"What are you talking about?" Ron scratched his head. "Me 'n' Harry have been here the whole time."
Hermione laughed a fake laugh that Harryfrowned atright away. "Oh Ron! You're so funny!!!"
Ron looked confused. "But I didn't say anything."
"Uh, excuse me for a minute," and with that Hermione raced back upstairs.
Ron looked at Harry. And Harry looked at Ron.
"Women!"
In Hermione's Room…
"Where is it? Where is that chapter?" Hermione mumbled as she flipped through the pages of, "How to Win a Guy in Less Than a Month".
"Ugh, the stupid book said that laughing even when your crush says something not funny lets them know you appreciate them! So why didn't it work?!?" Hermione slumped down and started sobbing. "I want someone to love me…"
Morning…
"Oh…" Hermione groaned as she struggled to stand up. She had fallen asleep in the same position she was crying in last night and it wasn't very comfortable. "Oof." She had stood up, but had fallen down again due to her numb legs. She stretched them out on the floor and waited till they weren't numb. "Oh my god, my head hurts like hell." Hermione rubbed her palms against her temples. She looked at her watch. "Oh! I'm going to miss breakfast!" And with that she raced downstairs.
In the Great Hall…
"Hey Ron, where's Hermione?" Harry asked suddenly.
"I dunno," Ron said exposing his mouth filled with chewed up food. Not a pretty sight.
"Ron, that's disgusting," Ginny wrinkled up her nose from the other side of the table.
"Then don't look," Ron replied rudely.
"Ronald Weasley, I suggest you be kinder to your wiser and more mature younger sister," Luna stuck up her nose with repulsion. That shut Ron up.
"Sorry Gin, I'll try to be nicer to you in the future," Ron mumbled as his face turned beet red. Ginny stared at her brother with amazement.
"Ron, are you sick?" Ginny reached over to feel Ron's forehead.
"No!" Ron's face turned even redder. "I was just trying to be nice. But if you don't want me to, then I won't!" And with that Ron stomped away.
"What's with him?" Ginny asked Luna.
"No idea," Luna smiled evilly. That's right Ronald Weasley, I know you like me. That's your weakness, and I am going to use it again you. Revenge, sweet, sweet revenge...
Author's Note: How was that? I'm sorry I haven't' been updating lately but you know, busy with school and stuff. I tried to make Luna hate Ron as much as possible so tell me if you liked that! Please review my hard work!!!
