Chapter 6

Ginny woke up the next morning feeling all fresh and happy. She was glad that Ron understood her, well; after all he was her brother. She was still a little pissed at Hermione for cheating on Ron, but she was going to pay for her actions.

However, Ginny still did not understand why Colin behaved like that last night. She sat cross-legged on her bed and rested her cheek and her palm and tried to reason it out.

Ginny's P.O.V

Why was he so violent last night? Why did he slap me? How come he called me a bitch? Why did he get drunk? Why was he so against Draco? I mean, Yeah, he is a Slytherin, but other than that Colin has no reason to hate him.

End of P.O.V

Ginny sighed. The whole conversation echoed in her mind. A single tear rolled down her cheek as she thought of it.

Flashback

"Stupid bitch."

"Colin! I didn't see you! What did you call me?"

"You motherfucking bitch!"

"Colin! Why did you call me that-that word?"

"You went off with him, didn't you?"

"Who? Draco?"

"Don't ever, ever, ever say that foul name in front of me again!"

"Colin, are you drunk? Why are your eyes so red?"

"Shut it, Weasley. I am not drunk, ok, you stupid bitch!"

"Colin, don't call me that. What's wrong? Why are you so upset?"

"Why am I upset? Do you even care? Why don't you just do find your sweetheart Malfoy and find a corner and snog? And when he cheats on you again, why don't you come running back to me and cry? Then the next day, go back to him and snog again, and the cycle repeats. I'll just be a fucking spare tire waiting for you right here!"

"Colin, don't talk like that!"

"Don't tell me what I can or can't do! You have no fucking right!"

"Colin, you're being unfair! You're drunk!"

Slap. Ginny felt a stinging pain on her left cheek, she lost balanced and collapsed onto the floor. Colin had slapped her. He stood towering over her and glared down at her. "To hell with you Weasley," he spat before striding off to the boy's dormitory.

End of flashback

Ginny wiped her face with the back of her hand. She reached out for her pillow and hugged it tight. Colin was supposed to be her friend. Why id he treat her this way? He was so different from the Colin that she grew up with in Hogwarts. He was kind and caring and gentle. Last night, he was a total monster. She had never seen that look on his face before. Not even when Snape embarrassed him in front of the whole class in double potions with the slytherins. She really did not understand.

Sighing, Ginny flopped back down onto her bed. She had to apologize to Colin for…For what? Ginny wondered. Apologize to him for doing what? I didn't do anything wrong. It's a free country; I can go out with whoever I want, what's his deal? If he is really my friend, he would not have slapped me last night. Right?

Ginny decided not to brood over it anymore. She was going straight out and ask him. She took a quick shower and got dressed, before running down to the common room. She walked out the door, and bumped into someone. It was Draco. "Oh, hi!" Ginny said brightly, pecking him on the cheek. Draco gave her a quick hug and they walked hand in hand to the Great Hall. They exchanged a quick kiss before separating ways. Ginny felt good that she did not have to hide her relationship with Draco.

Ginny saw Ron and Harry looking down at their food, neither eating. Ginny walked over to them and sat down. They both smiled at her. Ron kept looking at the door nervously. Ginny knew exactly what was on his mind.

"Ron," she said gently. "She's not worth it. You can do so much better. She cheated on you. If you let her off, she'll think it's alright to do that and she'll do it over and over again."

"Yeah, but…I love her."

"Love? You love somebody who cheated on you? You've got to be kidding."

"But… I really don't know what to do." Ron sighed sadly.

"Give yourself sometime to think. Meanwhile, I suggest you…break it off." Ginny advised.

Harry looked up at Ron. "I agree with Ginny. Just break up. She cheated on you. She's not worth it. Do you want to have your heart broken over and over again?"

Ron shook his head.

"Then just do it!" Ginny said firmly.

Ron sighed and nodded. Just then Hermione strutted in to the Great Hall.

"Just look at the way she walks. She's so full of herself! It's like she thinks she can get anyone she wants! You don't really want to have this sort of girlfriend, do you?" Ginny muttered, eyeing Hermione.

"No way. I'm gonna do it. Right now." Ron declared.

Ginny cheered inside. You go, bro!

Hermione reached them. "Hi Ron!" she chirped. "Hi guys! What's up?"

Ron flashed her a fake smile. "Oh, hi herms," he replied sarcastically. "Had a good snog session with someone else last night?"

Hermione smiled nervously. "Ron, darling, what are you talking about? Why would I snog with someone else? I only want you…" she swung her leg over his lap, trying to straddle him, only Ron pushed her away." Hermione pouted for all she was worth, but it had no effect on Ron whatsoever. Ginny rolled her eyes and Harry shook his head in disappointment.

"Could have fooled me," Ron sneered. "You know perfectly well that Malfoy and Ginny are together, why must you intrude? Why must you break Ginny's heart? Are you some kind of idiot? Or is it nice seeing people broken hearted?"

Hermione stared at Ginny like she was an insect and there was nothing better to do than to step on her with her stilettos and squish her up into tiny bits. "You cannot make me feel inferior," Ginny thought inside, glaring back.

Hermione broke away from Ginny's glare, coating her voice with honey, cooed, "Ronnikins, why would I do that? Who told you that? It's not true, you know."

Ron winced. "Don't call me that disgusting name. Ew! Ginny told me. She was there when it happened."

"C'mon, Ronnie, you aren't gonna believe her, are you?"

"Hermione, that stupid name is just as bad. It's nauseating, like you! And F.Y.I, I already did."

"Ron…"Hermione whined. "Ginny is just jealous of our perfect relationship, she created the stupid cock and bull story to make you pissed with me."

"Why would she be jealous when she has a perfect relationship with Malfoy? Well, that is until you came into the picture."

"But you don't really like them together, do you?"

"I respect my sister's decision, thank you very much." Ron said coldly before striding out of the Great Hall. Harry and Ginny followed, not looking back at Hermione.

"Was I too harsh?" Ron asked Harry and Ginny once they were out of the Greet Hall.

"No Ron, you're brave. You're very brave." Harry patted his friend on his back. Ginny nodded in agreement.

"Thanks again for understanding. You're a great brother." Ginny hugged him.

Ron hugged her back.

"Anytime."
