Tuesday November 15

While Ginny sat in Defense Against the Dark Arts, her mind raced about everything that happened the day before. With Harry's return, Hermione's silent criticism, everything that happened in the library, and all the lies she had been telling recently, it felt like everything was crashing in on her. Her mind was going crazy. She didn't know what to do with Harry. He expected her to just fall back into his arms now that he was back. That he expected that of her showed how he really did not know her. But even though she never wanted to be with him again and feels no sympathy for having to tell him she never wants to be with him again, she still felt bad about lying to him. Even if she was not in love with him anymore, she still cared for him as if he was another one of her brothers. She hoped that after all this was over, they could go back to having that relationship back.

She knew this was the first thing she had to do. She had to tell Harry the truth, before he expected anything important from her. After class she slowly started to head for the common room. Although she knew she had to tell him, she was still trying to buy herself some time before she had to. She was extremely nervous, although she did not understand why. After twenty minutes of walking slowly, she finally made it to the portrait hole. She took a deep breath and mumbled the password. It was now or never. She leisurely walked into the Common room and looked around. She found Harry lounging on a couch in front of the fire. His cloak was flung over the back of the couch, his tie was hanging loosely around his neck, and his hair was a mess like always.

"Hey, Harry." Ginny said as she came to stand next to the couch.

"Hey, Gin," Harry said as he sat up on the couch, offering her the seat next to him. She sat down on the edge of her seat. "So can you get out of plans with Luna? I would hate to miss my first weekend back with my girl."

"Harry, the truth is I never had plans to go with Luna to Hogsmade."

"What are you talking about?"

"The truth is I already had plans with someone else and I didn't know how well you would take it. So I said I was going with Luna."

"Who could you be going with that would make me upset."

"Harry, I'm going with another guy. On a date."

"WHAT!"

"Don't act all surprised Harry. You didn't actually think I would just sit around and wait for you did you?"

"Well I didn't think you were the type of girl to have a rebound guy."

"He's not a rebound guy." Yelled Ginny.

"If it only took you two weeks to get a new boy then that constitutes him as a rebound guy."

"That's not true!"

"Who is it?"

Ginny hesitated for a minute and then decided she had to tell him, "It's Draco Malfoy."

"Oh, and he doesn't have rebound written all over him."

"No, actually he made the first move. He gave me this necklace."

"Oh," He said. By the look on Harry's face, he knew what the necklace was and how much it was worth. He finally understood.

"I just want to be happy." Said Ginny.

"Why can't you be happy with me?"

"Harry I can't trust you."

"Why not?"

"Harry, you broke my heart twice. How do I know you won't do it again."

"I won't."

"But I can't trust that Harry. And I can't trust you. I just need to be in a different relationship right now."

"Fine." Harry said turning around and leaving the common room to go to his room.

Ron sat at the Gryffindor table in the Great Hall staring at his chicken. For once in his life he wasn't hungry. All he felt was guilt. Guilt from lying to his best friend. The only reason why Ron didn't tell Harry was because of what Harry would say. He thought he had bought some time when Harry had left. But now that he was back, there was nothing stopping him except for his own fear. He did not want to lose Harry as a friend. They had been through so much together, he had hoped that would be enough to not upset Harry. But when it came to coming out to people, a person can never know how someone would react, no matter how well you think you know them.

All he knew was he had to get over his fear and tell Harry. If he was a true friend, he would understand. Ron kept repeating this in his head over and over for a few minutes; hoping this would be enough to get rid of his fear. Ron finally decided to go up to the common room and tell Harry before he lost the little amount of courage he was finally able to muster up.

5 minutes later….

Ron was standing in front of the Gryffindor portrait hole about to run away when the portrait swung open, almost hitting him in the face. As three second year girls skipped out, the portrait shut closed.

"Are you going to give me a password or just stand there all day?" Said the fat lady.

"Oh, yeah, hippogriff."

The portrait swung open and Ron walked into the common room. He went across it and headed up to his room. When he got there and opened the door, he saw Harry lying on his bed. It was obvious something was wrong with him. All he was doing was staring at the drapes on his bed.

"Hey Harry, what's wrong?" asked Ron, avoiding his confession.

"Ginny."

"What about Ginny?"

"She's dating that….that….that Slytherin Slug Head."

"Ok, you lost me."

"Ginny, she's dating Malfoy."

"She's what!" Ron yelled.

"Oh, you didn't know." Said Harry.

"No! I got to go knock some sense into her." Ron was about to leave, when he realized he hadn't told Harry. He knew he had to tell Harry now or he would never do it.

"Actually Harry, I'll talk to Ginny later. Actually, I need to talk to you about something."

"What?'

"Well you see for a while now I have made a….life choice."

"What kind of life choice?"

"About who I like."

"Who is it?"

"Blaise Zabini." Ron said softly.

"Who?"

"Blaise Zabini."

"But he's a boy."

"Yeah, that's kind of why I like him."

"You like a guy? You're gay?"

"Yeah, and by the look on your face you hate me now. So, I'll just leave."

"Ron wait." Harry said. Ron turned around and sat back down, "I don't care that your gay or dating someone. It's just a lot to take in, give me a little time."

"Fine."

"So, Blaise Zabini?"

"Yeah."

"You like him?"

"A lot."

"He's pretty cute."

"And an amazing kisser." Ron said in a daydream.

"Ok, now you're saying to much."

"Sorry."

Hermione sat in the library, procrastinating. She had already finished the two essays that were due this week, she had memorized the potion ingredients for Slughorns class tomorrow, and had already done all the extra credit work the teachers had given her. She wished she had more to do, but she didn't. The only thing left on her to do list was to talk to Ron, which was what she had been procrastinating all day. The last thing she wanted to do was hurt Ron. And after the way she acted the day before, to something that should not of affected her in such a violent way, she felt like a complete bitch. She knew what she had to do, but she just did not know how to do it. It was moments like these she would not find the answer in a book. These were the moments she hated the most.

"Tick Tock Hermione, Tick Tock." Came a whispering voice in Hermione's ear.

"Funny Ginny. I never took you as someone to mock others."

"When it involves my brothers, I mock until the person goes insane."

"I'm scared."

"Yah, but think about how scared Ron was when he told you he was gay."

"Probably pretty scared. Of course, it could just be he was scared of me."

"Go tell him now or I will drag you to him."

"Why are you being so pushy? Shouldn't I tell him when I am ready?"

"You are never going to be ready to tell your ex boyfriend you cheated on him, let alone with his brother. So it is up to me to make sure you tell him. You need that extra push."

"Fine." Hermione got up, packed her books and headed to the common room.

"Good luck." Ginny yelled after her.

Hermione walked up to the boy's dormitory, slowly making her way to Ron's room. She stood in front of the door for a few seconds, taking a deep breath and knocking on the door. She silently prayed to herself that this would all go over okay.

"Come in." With one more deep breath Hermione slowly opened the door. Sitting on their beds were Ron and Harry, laughing at something Hermione could really care less about at the moment.

"Hey, Harry can you give me and Ron a minute to talk."

"Sure." Said Harry, He grabbed a quidditch book and left the room, closing the door behind him. Hermione walked over to Ron's bed and perched on the edge of it as he slowly sat up to face her.

"What's up Hermione?"

"I kind of over reacted when you told me you were gay. I am so sorry that I did. The truth is I could care less, as long as you are happy and we can still be friends I don't care one bit."

"Thank you Hermione. And trust me, the last thing I would want is to lose your friendship. Why do you think it took me so long to tell you. Lets just forget about the overreacting and go catch up with Harry." Ron said, as he started to get off of the bed.

"Actually Ron there is something else I need to tell you. A secret of my own I have been keeping."

"What?"

"Well, I have kind of been seeing someone."

"Oh, really, who?"

"Fred."

"You mean my brother Fred?"

"Yes."

"Do you like him?"

"I love him."

"Then I'm not going to get mad, I can't get mad at your feelings."

"But there's more."

"Oh my god, he got you pregnant!"

"No! Its, um, we started seeing each other in April."

"Um, we were still dating in April."

"Yeah, I cheated on you."

Ron was silent for a little while. He had a very strange face on that Hermione couldn't read.

"So, I guess we are even." He said with a small laugh and his usually goofy smile on.

"What?" Hermione said surprised.

"Well, we both told our secrets, so we are ok."

"You're not mad?"

"Hermione, I don't blame you for cheating. There was nothing in our relationship. You wanted someone to love you with passion, and I couldn't love you like that. I could only love you as a friend. All I want is for our friendship to be in tacked. I don't want to lose you as a friend."

"I don't want to lose you as a friend either."

"So, we are ok?"

"Yah."

"Ok," said Ron, "I have to go meet someone."

"Blaise."

"Yah."

"Have Fun."
