A/N: Here is Chapter 4! The dividers on Chapter 3 still didn't work so once again I'm trying something new. I'm going to really try and update every day and I should be able to for at least a whole week because it's Spring Break here! After that the only day(s) I shouldn't be able to would be Tuesday (because I have Cadette GS) or Wednesday (because of my wonderful piano lessons!) Mondays might suck too, because that's generally when I get loaded with Spanish, Phys. Science, Algebra, and Math Lab homework. Fun fun. Anyways, just keep checking up on me or if you want me to email you when I update, review this chapter leaving me your email address. Thanks so much!

Chapter 4

Blame

"Oh my God." Hermione stared at the card.

"He was here?" Mrs. Weasley asked.

"He was here." Ron whispered, then slammed his fist onto Ginny's bedside table. Hermione and Mrs. Weasley jumped and stared at him.

"Damn it!" Ron growled and walked out of the room. Hermione and Mrs. Weasley stared at the door for a few minutes. Mrs. Weasley shook herself out of her reverie and looked at her watch.

"Oh my goodness! Hermione dear, I'm sorry, but I was supposed to meet Arthur two minutes ago at the Ministry!"

She hurried around gathering her things then paused.

"I think you might want to follow him, dear." She said kindly to Hermione before Disapparating with a POP! Hermione stared at the spot where Mrs. Weasley had stood for a moment, then walked out of Ginny's room. She saw Ron sitting on a couch outside Ginny's door. She sighed and sat down next to him.

"Ron, what's wrong?" she asked.

"I just…he was right here damn it! He always does this! I…are we not good enough for him?"

Hermione was silent. It was a rhetorical question.

"I mean," Ron continued, "I'm his best mate! He's supposed to be able to lean on me! God knows we all lean on him!"

"Are you mad at Harry or yourself Ron?" Hermione asked quietly, somehow knowing the answer.

"I…both I guess." Ron admitted. "I'm mad at him for disappearing and making us worry…for not being here with Ginny. I'm mostly mad at myself though. I just never feel like I'm the best mate he deserves."

"Rubbish!" Hermione's harsh tone startled Ron. "You're an excellent best mate! I've been trying to tell you Ronald, that Harry needs help."

"I still don't understand 'Mione."

"He's been emotionally withdrawn for years Ron! Surely you've noticed that he never gets too close to people anymore? Who could honestly blame him? I mean, he was really warming up to Sirius when boom, that's over. Then look at Dumbledore. Dumbledore was a huge factor in Harry's life. I don't even think he realizes how big of a blow it would be for our friendship to fall apart! We're Harry's family! The only real one he has Ronald. And, if anyone did anything for him, it was Ginny. I'm not really surprised he disappeared after seeing her. But, what I'm trying to say Ron, is that he needs time. He needs time to be Harry. Not 'The Boy Who Lived' or 'The Famous Harry Potter'. Just Harry."

Ron was silent for a few moments.

"Then that's what he'll get." Ron said, a determined look on his face.

OoOoOoOoOoOoO
