A/N: So I promised long… but I don't like long chapters that much, and I wanted to leave it where I did. Please Read and Review, because it makes me happy, and stops you from feeling guilty guilty guilty. (YOU HAAATE THAT….)
Chapter 7 (I don't count my author's note chapter; I call that My Dark Moment Which I Will Keep To Spur On Reviews!)
There seemed to be a lot of romance going around after Seamus and Luna had 'temporarily left the group'. Harry was looking wistfully at Ginny, who was being a bit more subtle, and only occasionally glancing at Harry, who more often than not missed this increasingly frequent moments. Ron was looking at Hermione but he looked both scared and annoyed, causing her to look back at him with hurt and confused little glances. Dean was off in his own little world, and Neville seemed to be counting something. Counting what, no one new, but it was worth noting all the same.
Hermione suddenly shook herself, as if remembering that the whole world didn't revolve around what Look Ron was giving her that day. Ron of course, remained unaware of this transition, and didn't move a centimetre.
Hermione didn't even consider it before turning to Ron, knowing that by now everyone present had had a go. Well, except herself, but she was more than willing to overlook that little tidbit of information.
"Ron… Truth or dare?"
Ron glared at her, muttering under his breath and turned away, his arms crossed. What resulted next was pretty much an everyday argument of Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger.
"RON! Don't ignore me! Stop pretending like I don't matter! DON'T IGNORE ME RONALD!"
Hermione was practically screeching by the end of this, while Ron remained stubbornly in his position. He was NOT going to participate in another stupid truth or dare, his current one was mind-blowing enough already.
Slowly, Ron turned around and proceeded to yell right back at her.
"Hermione. Calm down, you are the most annoying, controlling person in the world. I've had ENOUGH! Leave me alone, and stop being such a-"
Here, he stopped, and Hermione's face turned red with fury. Ron had started off calm, but as he continued, his voice had gotten louder and his face redder. They mirrored each other's anger exactly, and it would have been quite amusing, if it wasn't just a little scary.
Ron looked fearful when Hermione's face began to turn cold, along with her voice when she said, in a shaky little voice, that fully allowed the pure hatred that she seemed to have in her eyes to show,
"I'm a what, Ronald?"
He shook his head and inched back.
"WHAT. Ron, what am I?"
Her voice now contained a tone of pleading, but the bare anger was still there, quivering in the background of her voice.
Ron looked apologetic and again shook his head,
"Hermione, I'm sorry, I really didn't mean it. You're not a bitch!"
As if realising what he had said just a little too late, Ron covered his mouth with his hand and gasped.
"Ron. You think I'm a bitch? Tell me, Ron."
Hermione had tears in her eyes, and there was no fury anymore. Her voice was quavering, and everyone around her wanted to run away and leave them to their fight. But alas, that could not happen, for one simple reason.
Lord Voldemort.
(A/N: Sorry, the temptation was too much! I had to mention Voldie, please don't shoot me. *Cowers, tearfully* Of course, Voldie won't actually be making any guest appearance. Just letting you know.)
Everyone continued watching the little spat, which was now more of a contest of who could keep the tears in longest.
"NO! Hermione, I told you I didn't think that, you know I cant fully help what I say when you're around, I just get angry and say whatever seems to fit. You are in no way a bitch. I promise."
The onlookers nodded their agreement hastily as Ron turned to give them all evil glares.
Hermione's sobbing decreased, but she still looked dangerously unstable.
Ron put his arm around her awkwardly, and didn't look remotely surprised, or offended when she half-heartedly pushed him away.
Indeed, when he went to put it around her again, she smiled weakly, and rested her head on his shoulder.
A/N: MWAHAHAHA. I could very well leave it there, but I won't, not completely. The next chappie will be up soon, and with a little more reviews I think it could be pretty darn freakin awesome. If I do say so myself…
OK, so I know I promised more Seamus and Luna this chapter, and the Ron/Hermione to come later, but I love them too much to wait any further, and Seamus and Luna have had their share for the moment…
As always, if you review, I will be very very happy and will review your stories and reply and love you foreverandeverandever…
Also, I would like to thank all the reviewers of my story, and especially HB17RJO because he/she has reviewed pretty much all the chapters, and made a pretty massive promise in the last review… hmmm, wonder, can Hb17RJO keep it? We will see that next chapter, and more… XD
Jesus, I sound like some lame talk show host don't I…
FIRST REVIEWER OF THIS CHAPTER GETS A PRIZE! (yay)
