I woke up the next morning at noon. While everybody else was in class, I was in bed. What happened? Oh yeah, I spent the last night snogging Ron's older brother. Oops! There went my life, because either Harry or Ron was going to take it. Oopsies again! So, yeah, it was Tuesday and I wasn't in class. Being the strait-A, smart-alic student in every class but Divination (Oh, how I absolutally hated the subject!) people would suspect something if I began to show up late for class.
All the same, I got up, got dressed, brushed my teeth and hair, grabbed my pony-tail holder and ran out the door hoping to just make the last of lunch. I ran as fast as I could all of the way down to The Great Hall, bumping into poor first years who were lost on their way to different classes. I got there just as the doors were about to close for cleaning- lucky I got there just then, and it's lucky that it was Professor Flitwick managing the cleaning today. He let me in for a quick bite to eat. There was only one other person in there; it was Harry.
He was waiting for me.
I slowly sat down on the opposite side of the table from him as a golden plate appeared in front of me. Harry followed me, of course. I remember our conversatioon word for word.
"What happened between Ron and Krum last night?" was his first question. I took a deep breath. This was going to take a while.
"He was mad. They were mad. I honestly don't know what exactly happened, only that I was sitting at a table waiting for Victor, who'd gone to go and get us punch. Then a heard a yell, and they were rolling around on the floor at my feet." I still don't know exactly what happened between the two to this day.
"Why'd you scare them both away like that?"
"Victor walked away. He had shamed his school and had enough. I chased Ron off because he chased my Yule Ball date away!"
"Oh. Just one more question. When did you and Fred start dating?"
"Er...oh, um...last night. He comforted me when his brother broke my heart. Why?"
"Just asking." and with that, Harry got up to leave. He left me in tears.
...xXx...
Nobody asked me why I hadn't been in any classes that day, but I knew they were all wondering just that, taking that they gave me funny looks. Or maybe that was just because of the fact I KISSED FRED WEASLEY!
Sorry, even I was still shocked by that.
I hadn't seen Fred that night until dinner. He came up to me and just said hi, but that was somehow drew a lot of attention from people nearby. Ron asked what was going on, but I refused to tell him. And, being a good friend, so did Harry.
...xXx...
That night Hermione stayed up late working on homework in the common room, which was totally empty until about 3 o'clock in the morning.
Ginny came down the steps from the girls' dormitory and towards Hermione. Ginny sat down on the couch and began the questioning.
"Why didn't you tell me?" she started. Hermione looked up from her work.
"Tell you what?"
"That you liked my brother?"
"Oh...that. I hadn't really thought about it until last night. It just came out after Ron left."
"How?"
Well, obviously you know how, because you just read it, unless you, like, just skipped the first two chapters or something, so I'm going to skip this part of the conversation.
"Wow...Hermione, that is really nice..."
"Well you say that like you really mean it, Ginny..."
"I'd just be worried about Ron if I were you." and with that, Ginny went back silently to back.
