A/N: Sorry it took me so long again. But as you can see, i've been working in my other 2 stories as well as this one. But now that it's summer, I can spend more of my time writing instead of studying for those dreaded finals.
I know this chapter won't be THAT good, but I promise you that it will gradually start to get better.
Chapter 22: See Ya!
"Well, are we going or what?" asked Ginny impatiently.
"What?" Hermione asked, seeming to not have a clue what Ginny was talking about.
"You know," said Ginny, "girl's night out?"
"Oh," Hermione and Cecily replied in unison. The three girls laughed, completely ignoring the boys.
"I think we better go before they get all girly and giggly on us," Ron muttered to Harry. Harry cracked a smile, and then nodded in agreement. They walked back toward the guest bedroom where they were before, hearing the girls blabbering about which club they wanted to go to.
"Well..," Ron said as he shut the door behind them.
"Well what?" Harry replied as he took a seat on the bed.
"I can't believe that we've been friends for 10 years," said Ron wistfully, starting a completely different subject.
"Yeah, I know what you mean," Harry said, going along with the change of subject.
"It seems like only yesterday I sat next to you on the Hogwarts Express," Ron added, thinking back to his childhood memories.
"And you kept staring at my scar," Harry chuckled. Ron laughed.
"Yeah. Never did say sorry for that," Ron pointed out.
"There was really no need to," Harry explained, "everybody in the school was staring at me in our first year. It was like they'd seen a ghost. What would one more hurt 'eh?"
"Yeah, and when you and Cil' were 'found out', it practically made the Prophet's front page news," Ron laughed.
"There were three reasons why I didn't want people finding out about me and Cil'. One, I didn't want Rita Skeeter all over us. Two, I didn't want Voldemort to use her to get to me, you know, like a hostage or something. And three, even though Cecily didn't care, I didn't want her popularity to drop just because she was dating 'the boy who lived', 'the chosen one', or whatever they were calling me," Harry explained, finally able to take a breath.
"I know what you mean," Ron agreed, every guy thought she was the prettiest girl in school." Harry shot Ron a look.
"Hey, don't look at me," said Ron, sounding offended. Harry laughed.
"I'm only joking mate," he replied.
Cecily and Hermione then entered the room.
"Okay guys, we're going now," Hermione announced. Ron and Harry smiled.
"We'll be back around…," Cecily looked at her watch, it said 8:15, "midnight, okay?"
"Works for us," Ron said.
"Just call us if you need anything," Harry added.
Cecily and Hermione both gave their men a good-bye kiss.
"See ya later Harry," Cecily said as she walked out the door.
"See you later Ron," added Hermione as she shut the door behind her.
