AN: Well ladies and gents, I'm still alive! I finally found a small gap in my horrible semester to update this story. I've been studying like a maniac, and I still managed to flunk a test, which sucked. I don't want to bore you with the details, but this semester the uni is my Dementor, it's sucking my soul and leaving me empty. Well, that's a depressing statement. So without further ado I give you a short update, but an update nevertheless.


I'd Make Sure of That

We've been having rows since we met. Anyone can vouch for that, but ever since she got that excuse of a pet, everything escalated. We weren't talking. Harry had been telling us to get over it. He took no one's side; he made sure we knew that.

Days passed and we weren't still talking to each other. We were drifting apart, not that I care. In fact, good riddance! Now, I can blow off all my school work happily. Who cares if I do?

Harry was ignoring us now. I get why he would ignore her, and all her annoying little quirks, but me? What did I do?

Now we were in Care for Magical Creatures and Hagrid beckoned Harry towards Buckbeak. He spread his wings and she stepped closer to me, not that I care. Harry continued to move forward and Buckbeak pretended to charge at him. For just a second, she forgot she was mad at me and grabbed my hand. And for just a second, I forgot to breathe.

Now this was the last straw! There was blood on my bed sheets and Scabbers is missing. And to top it all off there's a bloody hair from that creature on the bed. Let her try to make an excuse for it now!

I expected her to yell at me, to scream, to say it wasn't the cat's fault; but she hugged me and apologized. She. Hugged. Me. And for that moment the world stopped.

[Break]

We were just stepping out of the Shrieking Shack and all of the sudden Professor Lupin changed into his werewolf form. I saw her trying to move closer to him. She wanted to reason with him. I swear she's mental! I did my best to hold her back, but she's stubborn and broke away. As she stepped nearer and nearer to Professor Lupin my heart froze. He moved towards her and my body reacted automatically; I grabbed her wrist and pulled her back. He wasn't going to hurt her; I'd make sure of that.


AN 2: So I wrote this ages ago, but never got around to uploading it until today. This chapter was inspired by a post on makesmethink(dot)com (awesome web-site, btw) which said "Today, for just a second, she forgot she was mad at me and grabbed my hand. And for just a second, I forgot to breathe. MMT" (It just seemed so Ron, to say something like that I had to leave it like it was)

Anyway, thank you for sticking with me during this disappearance act I'm doing. I can't promise any updates, but I'll do my best.

Again, thanks.
