Chapter 9:

Ron looked at the girl who was lying in the hospital bed, his heart aching at the mere sight of her. He dabbed a wet towel across the girl's forehead. Her eyes have yet to open for the past hour or so and Mdm Pompfrey said that alcohol didn't quite agree with Hermione and it would take some time for her to get better. Ron sighed. This was not the Xmas he had been wishing for the past few days. He remembered that all he wanted was to pull Hermione to one corner, and tried explaining to her what he has been hiding all these years. He just wanted the night to end with a beautiful smile from Hermione and maybe a soft kiss under the mistletoe with the girl who had captured his heart.

Yet, by the looks of things that had happened. That was not going to happen. Just as his thoughts were about to meander towards another critical issue with regards to the incident earlier on, Hermione's eyes started to flutter, opening slightly. Her lips began to move and she was uttering something so softly that Ron had to lean in to catch what she was saying...

"Where..."she said weakly.

"Hey 'Mione.. You passed out earlier on,so we're at the hospital wing now.. Do you want me to get you a glass of water..." Ron said gently, his one hand still dabbing Hermione's face.

Hermione once again fluttered her eyes close,but her lips were still uttering something so softly. Ron leaned closer to Hermione, trying his best to make out what she was trying to say.

"Harry..."

Ron's insides seemed to have frozen at the sound of that single word. He felt... There wasn't a word that fitted to describe what he was feeling at the moment.

Hermione eye's were now closed and yet, she kept saying his name...

"Harry..."

Ginny was trying her best to calm Dean down. His face was livid and he was shouting angrily. Something that she knew she had always hated.

"And here I was trying my best to make this work,Ginny and you...and HIM!! I thought you and Him...It was never happening.. That's what you said Ginevra..."

Yet another thing she hated. Anyone else besides her immediate family members addressing her by her full name.

"LOOK DEAN.. It's nothing... I just wanted things with Harry and Hermione..."

"WHAT?? WANTED THEM TO WORK OUT?? NEWSFLASH Ginny!!!It's none of your business and why the heck do you care anyway?You are with me. You are mine.You belong to me. And I am shocked that you actually did that!!!"

Yet another thing she hated, Ginny thought as she folded her arms in anger.

"What did you say? I'm yours??"

" Yeah, that's besides the point...You..."

"That's besides the point?? It's all about THAT point...I am not a doll that you can play with Dean. I... I'm not just a thing you can own...Well, NEWSFLASH DEAN! I am perfectly entitled to do what I want, what I think is right. Just because i'm your steady, I'm not supposed to do everything you say Dean Thomas!!!!!" She said angrily in a very pissed tone.

"Well well well... That wasn't the case last night Ginny as far as I can remember..." Dean sneered unpleasantly towards Ginny.

Ginny, horrified, with what had been said by Dean, gave him a tight slap. The sound echoed across the empty corridor in which they were both standing in.

"You bast..." Ginny said, tears forming in her eyes and before Dean could even say anything she shoved him and walked past him..

"Ginny...look..I'm .."

"Save it,Dean..We're over..." Ginny screamed over her shoulder as she ran back to their common room as fast as she could, tears running down her face.

Harry was about to enter the Hospital Wing when he hesitated. His palm was already placed upon the door of the Hospital Wing and his heart was beating so fast and he felt as if he was confronting Vo...

"Harry..."

He turned around quickly. And much to his surprise, it was Professor Dumbledore, holding a mug full of hot chocolate with small marshmellows in it. Harry looked at him curiously. There was a knowing smile upon his face.

"Trouble Harry?"

Harry snorted. That should be tagline of his life in a movie.

Professor Dumbledore grinned when Harry did that.

"It will all work out in the future Harry.."

Harry looked at Dumbledore incredulously. Is this guy for real? Just last week, during their meeting about the Horcruxes, it sounded as if the entire fate of the wizarding world was on Harry's 16 year old shoulders and here he was, talking about everything's gonna be just fine??

Before he could even say a word, Professor Dumbledore smiled and said..

"Just look into your heart and your answers will be there. I trust your instincts Harry. What you did the past few years definitely shows that your gut feeling is always right. And it will be the same this time round Harry...Trust me on this... You don't have to worry about her. Just worry about... Getting that memory from Professor Slughorn..." Professor Dumblefore grinned yet again before he turned away and made his way back to the office, leaving a confused Harry at the door.

At that very moment, someone was opening the door. The sight that greeted him caused him to freeze in shock.

Both of them looked at each other, each trying to figure out what to say. There was an uncomfortable silence. In the distance, they could somehow hear a couple shouting. Maybe it was Ginny and Dean. Maybe it was some other couple..Who knows...

Each knew that they just had to say something.

"Look.." Harry said cautiously...

"We need to talk..." Ron continued with a nod...

I know it's short.. There's a reason for that.. Coz a lot more will be happening in the next one...
