Chapter 21: The Fight (and make up)

Nobody really ate much. The thought of Molly's funeral coming up seemed to ruin everybody's appetite. It was understandable. Dinner lasted about 20 minutes or so. It was different then what Harry had expected it to be.

"'Mione… Cil'… are you two ready?" Ginny shouted from the stairs.

"Just a minute," Hermione replied, touching up her lipstick in the bathroom.

"Same here," Cecily added, putting more hairspray in her hair.

"Alright," Ginny said, then dashing back up the stairs.

Meanwhile, in the guest bedroom:

"Harry… come on, tell me what's wrong," said Ron, who had a concerned tone to his voice.

"What did I tell you Ron, not-until-Cecily's-gone," Harry replied, sounding annoyed.

"Alright, alright," Ron said.

There were a few moments of silence before Harry and Ron heard someone scream, "YOU HEARTLESS WHORE!"

Ron recognized this voice; it was Hermione's.

Harry and Ron had reached the fight just in time to see Cecily trying to break up the fight, saying, "You guys, this is not the time to fight."

"Look who's the whore Hermione," Ginny replied to Hermione rather angrily.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa," Ron said, not wanting to believe what his sister had just said, "what the bloody hell just happened here?"

Ginny and Hermione turned their backs on each other, not saying a word.

"Well," Cecily began, realizing that she was the only one that was going to talk, "Ginny came down stairs and they started talking about Molly, and then somewhere down the line, Ginny said that it was Hermione's fault that Molly died because she took you away from your family."

Hermione, filled with anger, rolled her eyes and made her way towards Ron and grabbed his arm, saying, "Come on Ron, let's go."

But Ron wouldn't budge.

It was too good to be true thought Harry.

Ron saw the sadness in Harry's face and replied, "Not until you and Ginny apologize to each other."

"I don't want to apologize to that heartless whore," Hermione said rather quickly and rudely.

"And I don't want to apologize to that mudblood scum," said Ginny harshly.

"GINNY!" Ron exclaimed in anger, "She's my fiancée! I'm going to marry her!"

"Oh, so you'll listen to your mudblood lover, but you won't listen to me?" Ginny asked, just as angrily.

"Stop it! Just stop it!" Cecily shrieked, falling to her knees and clasping her hands over her ears, not wanting to hear any more.

Harry and Hermione both kneeled at Cecily's side, attempting to calm her down.

"See what you did," said Hermione.

"Oh, she's just an over-emotional half-blood suck up," replied Ginny, harshly.

Cecily rose, her striking blonde hair a tad bit messed up.

"If your parents were painfully killed in front of you," she said, "you would be emotional too."

'Well, my mum's dead isn't she?" asked Ginny, trying to make a point.

"Well, she wasn't killed by Voldemort was she?" Cecily replied.

Everybody in the room but Cecily and Harry gave a quick shiver to the sound of his name.

"No," Ginny mumbled, "but still."

Ginny struggled to find something that would make Cecily loose it again; she somewhat enjoyed it.

"You weren't the only one that Harry had feelings for," Ginny added, knowing that this would do the trick.

Cecily turned a ghostly pale, for this was true.

"Oh get a grip Ginny," said Harry, fueling up with anger, "it was one measly kiss, it was an accident."

"Accident?" replied Ginny, "Kissing ME was an accident?"

Ginny's fair skin was getting closer and closer to her hair color as she shot up with rage.

"You guys, look at us," said Hermione, "why are we fighting?"

Everybody fell silent.

"We shouldn't be fighting, we're the best of friends," added Hermione.

"I'm sorry Hermione, I shouldn't have said the things that I did. You were like a sister to me in school," said Ginny, "and now you really will be."

Hermione smiled.

"You were like the sister that I never had," Ginny added.

Hermione and Ginny hugged.

"You were always my little sister," Hermione said as she let go of Ginny.

Ginny smiled for the second, maybe third time that evening and turned to Cecily.

"And I'm sorry for calling you a –," Ginny paused, "you know."

"Apology accepted," Cecily smiled, "and I'm sorry for being a bit over emotional, but I can't help it."

"But you're right," Ginny said, "If my parents were killed by Voldemort, I would act the same way."

Cecily smiled. "thanks, that means a lot."
