Moment Thirteen : Ron (HP)
Kagome sighed, as she closed the book she was reading and gave the red-haired boy across from her a small glare.
"What can I do for you?" Kagome asked, eyes narrowed, she didn't want anything to do with him, last time the two of them had a conversation he insulted her!
The redhead shifted slightly under her glare, "…I…I'm sorry! Ok! I didn't mean it that way! Honest! "He really didn't mean it the way it came out….he just couldn't control his temper sometimes and couldn't really help what comes out of his mouth.
Kagome stared at him, trying to see if he was lying, she knew he had a temper, but it didn't excuse him from insulting the things she believed in…that and her choice of friends.
So what if she was friends with the 'weird' blonde girl a year younger than her. She was a breath of fresh air, and Luna Lovegood was one of the only people she could really talk to about her life. Luna understood her more so than a lot of the people in the Wizarding world.
Kagome gave a sigh, "How do I know this won't happen again, Ronald?" She asked, she wasn't going to forgive him and talk to him if this was going to repeat in who knows many days.
Ron sighed, running a hand through his hair, "I…I know I hurt your feelings on what I said about Loon…er I mean Lovegood. I…will try to keep my temper in check."
Kagome wanted to forgive him, really she did but some part of her wanted to hold a grudge because he made her only friend cry.
"Why do you care about me forgiving you?" Kagome questioned, she really didn't understand why Ron Weasley talked to her at all. He had the Granger chit always around him, so why come talk to her? Everyone thought the two of them would become a couple soon, they fought like one, "Why talk to me anyway…it's not like we are friends…."
Ron glanced at her blue eyes clashing with blue, "I like you…I have ever since you helped me in my third year…..I never really paid much attention to the Hufflepuffs before….." He paused seeing the look she gave him at not paying attention to Hufflepuffs, " I …like you more than a friend…."
Kagome looked at him in surprise at the confession, and thought, 'I guess he really is a Gryffindor….only a Gryff would confess so abruptly.'
"Are you asking me out in a weird apologetic sort of way?" Kagome inquired, raising an eyebrow. This was totally unexpected from where she thought the conversation would go.
Ron nodded, his eyes turning red, he really did like her. Kagome Higurashi was a person that stood out from the rest of the girls he knows. She doesn't treat him like he is stupid like some of the other girls, she treats him as an equal, "Errrr….I guess that is one way to put it…soo?"
Kagome blinked, opening her mouth then closing it. She didn't know how to answer that. She never considered dating him before. She didn't even know he liked her that way. It couldn't hurt to try…but first she had to make one thing clear, "I will under one condition…."
Ron smiled, "Really!" He couldn't believe it and here he thought she was going to reject him and send him on his way, "Anything! You name it!"
Taking a deep breath Kagome put down her condition, "No more comments or insults about Luna Lovegood. I don't care if you don't like her….or you think she is crazy. She is my friend and I want to keep it that way!"
Nodding Rod quickly agreed, "I can do that….keep comments to myself…got it!"
Kagome gave a small snort, standing up with her book in hand, "Good…..this weekend is Hogsmeade …we can go to the three broomsticks or something…."
With that Kagome left a stuttering but happy Ron Weasley behind agreeing and telling her he would talk to her later.
Kagome smiled slightly and went on her way ignoring the feeling of someone watching her. Her or Ron never noticed a bushy haired girl watch the whole exchange with a slightly envious look before disappearing from sight.
