Chapter 4 Oh Fred!
I went by the next week all alone. Ron ignored me, along with Harry. I had to avoid Hermione, despite my desperate need. George was his normal self, I couldn't stand it! Him and Lee trying to joke around, in my hour of need! Horrible!
I tried to talk to Ron. I failed miserably. I only ever got a few grunts, and that was on the good days. Most of the time, he just ignored my presence all together. Today, though, I knew it was gonna be different.
Right as I was walking into the Common Room, Harry came up to me and said, "Hullo Fred, Ron wants to, eh, talk to you."
'Amazing!' I thought. Maybe he accepted me and Hermy, I really hope so.
"Hullo Fred," Ron said coldly. At least he made the first move, but saying it so empty-hearted?
"Ron," I acknowledged his greeting.
"I kind of-, well, you know," Ron just couldn't get it out.
"Well what Ron?" I basically screamed. "First, I'm dead to you and then because I love you and you are my brother, I broke someone's heart, no two people's hearts that didn't deserve it." All that bottled up anger over the last week let loose. I couldn't hold it in any longer. He was SO naïve.
"ALRIGHT!" Ron screamed, "I was really wrong? Okay? I overreacted. But my feelings for her are still apparent. Loving her for 5 years isn't going to go away overnight. I do love her. I might never stop loving her. But I'll get used to it. I like seeing Hermione happy. Just don't hurt her."
"I promise you, I won't."
"Pinky promise?" Ron asked.
How immature, but why not. "PINKY PROMISE!" I said.
I was beyond ecstatic, me and Hermy could be together, at last!
"Well, I'll be off then."
I was so excited! I had to go and tell Hermione. Off to the library I go, then.
I got to the corridor and started whooping and running. I was pumped. My adrenaline skyrocketed as I saw her.
"HERMIONE!" I screamed as I galloped into the library and picked her up and spinned her.
"SHH!" Madam Pince scolded.
"Sorry!" We both said.
"What was that about, Fred?" Hermione asked.
"Hermione, you are not going to believe this, but Ron apologized."
"NO WAY! Oh Fred! I love you!"
