Chapter 3 Last Goodbye
"What are you doing mate?" George said while his eyes fumed with anger.
"Well, to put it directly, in love with Hermione," I said with a grimace, read for the blow.
"WHAT ABOUT RON!" there it went. "OUR JOKE SHOT!? What about our, OUR PLANS?"
"We can still run a joke shop, like a girl would stop us from doing that. That's laughable. And Ron had to get over it sometime. Better late than never," I replied somewhat sarcastically, but enraged to the point of screaming.
"Alright, mate, you got to go talk to Ron. Right now, I think he hates you."
I walked into the Common Room and saw Harry and Ron huddled by the fire, shunning Hermione. She was sitting by herself with Crookshanks. I slowly started to stroll over there when my best mate, Lee, came up to me.
Lee said, "I don't know if you wanna go over there."
"Ger outta my way," I said strongly, and he backed off.
"Ron?"
"What do you want?" he snapped.
"To talk. I'm sorry. You'll have to learn to accept th-," I started to explain, and a frown spread across my face, he was clearly displeased.
Ron interrupted with "OH, shut your mouth! I don't have time for you or this. For all I care, YOU'RE DEAD TO ME."
Wow, that shocked me, my heart started to pound faster, while growing heavier. I strolled unpleasantly back out in the corridor followed shortly by Hermione.
"Well, that went well," I sarcastically remarked as I rolled my eyes in exhaustion.
"Could of gone better? I could tell" Hermione added as she started to hold my hand.
"NO!" I sharply said while whipping my hand away. "I can't do this anymore. You saw Ron, as much as I love you, care for you, Ron's my brother. And one thing I can't be is 'dead to him'. I truly am terribly sorry. This can't go on." My eyes welled with tears but I needed to do it. I loved her, but family first, ALWAYS. I may not like it, but that's the way it is.
"B-b-but," Hermion stuttered as I once again put my finger to her mouth as tears poured down both of our cheeks.
"Goodbye, love."
