Chapter 7
Flashback;
"Hermione what are you doing?" he asked "You know he's just going to hurt you again!"
"What was that?" Ginny asked Harry as they both glanced towards the door.
"JAKE!" they said in unison. They both rose from the bed and rushed out the door to find Jake standing outside Ron's room.
"This can't be good." Ginny whispered.
"Hermione, I can't believe how foolish you are being!" Jake yelled which attracted even
more attention.
"Hermione is not-" Ron jumped to defend her, but was cut off by Hermione.
"Jake, I am not foolish! How dare you say that!" she yelled.
"You've fallen for Ron, even though I've told you over and over not to fall for him you still have!" Jake yelled.
'What did he just say?' Ron thought
'He didn't just say that!' Hermione thought as she turned to Ron.
Ron's jaw dropped as Hermione turned to look at him. "I'm sorry" she whispered with tears forming in her eyes, and turned to run out of Ron's room.
"Hermione I'm sorry." Jake apologized but didn't get a response from Hermione.
"Look what you've done!" Ginny piped in.
"I said I was sorry." Jake continued.
"That isn't going to fix a thing, now is it?" Ginny yelled.
'Is it true then? Does Hermione really like me?' Ron thought. 'This could be one of Jake's ploys to make me look stupid? Or is it true, god knows I love her!' "Get the bloody hell out of my room." Ron said while trying to remain calm.
Jake had gotten the message not to 'poke fun' at Ron. He turned and walked towards the twin's room.
"Ron are you ok?" Ginny asked softly.
"Is it true? Does Hermione like me?" Ron asked after a moment of silence.
"Even more than that." Ginny added while Harry nodded.
"Bloody hell, what am I going to do?" Ron thought out loud.
"What do you want to do? Do you feel the same way?" Ginny asked hopefully.
"Yes, of course I do. Maybe I should go after her!" Ron said.
"It's a little late for that, god knows where she is. Just sleep on it and we'll see her in the morning." Ginny said.
"Ginny's right, give Hermione a chance to collect herself and besides it's dark out now we'll never find her." Harry added.
"Fine." Ron finally agreed.
Meanwhile in the twin's room. Fred and George had heard the fight between Ron, Hermione and Jake.
"Poor Hermione" Fred said before Jake had entered the room. "What do you think you are doing?" he questioned Jake as he entered.
"I'm going to sleep. Ron's made it quite clear that he doesn't want to see me." Jake answered.
"Can you blame him?" George asked sarcastically.
"What are you talking about?" Jake questioned.
"Oh come on, you've made Ron's life a living hell," George looked at Jake and could tell that he wasn't following so he continued. "First off he thought there was something going on between you and Hermione, even thought she reassured him plenty of times that there was nothing going on. Everyone knew that there was something going on between Ron and Hermione it has been for the longest time, then out of nowhere you come and all you do is get in the way." George finished.
"Look, I'm sorry I spilled the beans about Hermione falling for Ron."
"Oh, we already knew the only person who didn't was Ron." Fred added.
"Yea, well he is a little thick isn't he." Jake said with a laugh.
George, who was closest to the door opened it and looked towards Jake.
"You've got to be kidding me." Jake said with a laugh.
"Nope, get out." George replied with a very sly smile on his face.
"Where am I suppose to sleep?" He asked once he was outside the door.
"Not here." Fred added before closing the door.
Jake had ran into Ginny as she was coming out of the washroom. "Ginny, can I ask you a question?"
Ginny was caught off guard by this and didn't quite know how to respond, "um I don't know where Hermione is if that's your question."
"No, I need a place to stay can I sleep in your room?" He asked and was surprised by her stunned face.
"I can't believe you just asked me that question!."
"Is that a yes?" Jake asked hopefully.
"No, that is not a yes, there's a couch downstairs you can sleep on that." Ginny said before turning and going into her room with a soft laugh.
Ron hadn't slept very well that night. When he woke to his alarm he saw that Harry's bed had already been empty. 'I wonder why he didn't wake me?' he thought. As he walked down stairs and through the living room he saw someone sleeping on the couch. 'Hermione?!?' he thought. The person suddenly rose and the covers fell from on top of them. 'Oh, Jake' Ron thought with a lot of disappointment. 'Maybe she's in the kitchen?'
"Good morning Ron, how did you sleep?" Mrs. Weasley asked as he approached the kitchen table.
"I didn't get much sleep. Mum have you seen Hermione at all?"
"No but Harry and Ginny went looking for her about an hour ago, they should be back soon. Did something happen Ron? Neither of them said much when they left." Ron's mum asked attentively.
"Yea something happened," Ron said while scratching his head "but I'd rather not talk about it." Ron finished. He didn't want to upset her by telling her that she left in the middle of the night.
"Oh, ok then" she responded as she turned to look out the window, "here come Harry and Ginny." she added.
Ron quickly looked out the door and sure enough there they were, but no Hermione. Ron opened the door and ran across the grass. It was still dewy and his sock slowly became soaked. "Did you find her?" he asked.
"I'm sorry Ron." Harry said.
"We looked everywhere, do you have any idea where she would have gone? Did she have a favourite spot when she stayed here? You know a spot where she might go to think?" Ginny asked.
Ron searched his brain for something that Hermione might have said. It had finally come to him, "Did you look at the willow tree?" he asked.
"No, I don't think we did." Ginny said while looking at Harry.
Ron quickly ran back into the house to grab his shoes. When he opened the door Jake was blocking his way.
"Move." he said sharply.
"Ronald be nice!" his mom shouted. As he reached past Jake and grabbed his shoes.
"I'll go with you." Jake added.
"Oh no you won't, you've done enough thank you." Ron protested as he threw his shoes on his feet and head to the willow tree.
'There it is!' he mind shouted. 'please let Hermione be here, please.' as he ran over the hill he saw Hermione sitting on the ground he quickly came up from behind her.
"Hermione?" he said in almost a whisper.
Hermione quickly whipped around to see who had called her name. "Ron?" she said as she began to stand.
