Hello everyone. I am here with another amazing chapter. I hope you enjoy it, and that you enjoyed my last chapter. I know that Ginny isn't the emotional type, but these aren't the books, so I can do what I want. :p BTW the story takes place right after 3 formed so it's still nighttime. On with le story!
Harry's POV.
I gently pulled away from Ginny, she seemed so fragile these days. She gave a tear-stained smile.
"Thank you." I smiled.
"No problem. Now c'mon, dry your eyes." She wiped them, pushing away all tears from her face. She revealed a radiant smile when she finished. One that could light up all of Hogwarts at night. We sat in blissful silence. I thought about what she'd said.
"Just promise me to listen when I ask you." What was I supposed to make sense of. It sounded pretty straight-forward. I yawned.
"Oh, I'm sorry Ginny. I'm getting a bit tired. Do you need anything first?" Ginny flashed her radiant smile once more.
"No, I'm good. You can go." I pat her head before I left, smiling lightly. She was so cute. Dang it Harry, she's Ron's sister. You aren't supposed to like her. I pulled at my hair, frustrated before forcing the thoughts away. I can deal with this stuff tomorrow. I opened my previously closed eyes and found Hermione there, pointing an accusatory finger at me.
"Harry Potter, what did you do to the poor girl!?" I threw my hands up.
"Nothin' I swear!" She gave me an evil eye before entering her room, and shutting the door rather loudly. Ron came flying down the stairs, the looks of a hand-print on his cheek. I laughed.
"Oi Ron! Did Hermione get you?" He turned red.
"Yeah. She needs to take a chill pill every once in a while. She's not too trusting either." Then Ron mumbled something that I couldn't hear. I took a step closer to him.
"Ron, what was that? I couldn't hear you." He turned a brighter red than earlier, and starting stuttering.
"N-n-n-nothing! I-I-I just-" I cut him off.
"What it something foul?" He turned a brighter red.
"No! I just, we can't talk here." He grabbed my arm and started to pull me up the stairs. He pulled me into a room where my trunk lay, as well as a bunch of Ron's stuff on the opposite side. He shut the door and slide the rug over to cover up the bottom portion, and pulled one of the tapestries down to cover the top. Then he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Ok, I think we're safe now." I sat down on my bed, and gave Ron a questioning look.
"So, why did we have to be in private for you to tell me something?" Ron's face grew scarlet.
"Promise you won't tell anyone?"
"You're my best mate! I won't tell a single thing what you say if you don't want me to."
"Okay then, IlikeHermione." Ron had jumbled all his words together and made it hard to understand the last part. I squinted at him.
"Please say again. It's too hard to understand you when you talk like that." He took in a large breath, then breathed out.
"I . . . I like Hermione." He closed his eyes, as I felt my own eyes widen. I was nearly screaming.
"You like-" Ron was up and tackled me faster than I could speak. I just stared at him.
"Wow, I just thought that, wow." He blushed and got off me.
"Yeah, please don't say anything to my sister or my brothers. They'd go stark mad if they knew." His cheeks tinted pink. I chuckled.
"My lips are sealed." We sat in silence for a bit, and finally Ron gave me a question I was sure that had been tugging on his mind.
"So, do you like my sister?" I tried very hard not to blush, but I have no idea if I did or not.
"Well, I'm not quite sure yet. Things are, well they're complicated." Ron shuffled his feet.
"You don't have to like her just cause she likes you, okay?"
"Ron, you know I would never do that."
"I know that." He stated quickly.
"I just don't want bad things to happen to either of you."
"Thanks for your concern, but I'm sure that Ginny wouldn't like it if I only liked her cause she liked me either. It wouldn't be fair to either of us." Ron nodded his head in agreement. We chatted for a while longer before deciding to get ready for bed. I had a hearing in a couple of days and I needed rest. My sleep was filled with nightmares about loosing my friends, Ginny hating me, and my aunt and uncle trapping me in my room again. Then it felt like I was being sucked into a tornado, shaking and shaking around. I was screaming.
"NO! Noooooooo!" I suddenly felt chilly and jolted right up, waking cold and shivering. Ron stood over me with a concerned look on his face. A blurry looking Hermione was at the door shaking her head.
"I told you to just wake him up, not throw freezing cold gutter water on him!" He gave her a glare.
"How the bloody Hell was I supposed to do that when I couldn't even shake him awake!" I grabbed my glasses and some clothes.
"While you two battle it out, I'll go change."
While that end this chapter. God it's summer and I've almost finished Naruto Shippuden. It's still ongoing at 460 episodes though. I'm really tired and I'm really trying to make the chapters longer, but I keep getting writers block. I can't think of many cute scenes so I'll browse the web and try to get inspiration. I'll try to make the next chapter better. See ya my little cinnamon buns.
