Yay! The last chapter ended on a low note, but I am completely ruining the Harry Potter story line, the thing is that I started hinting that they would be starting school Harry in his sixth year, but they're not. This takes place in the fifth year for Harry, so in case of any confusion, this is the fifth year. Sorry if you guys were confused or anything. I promise if I mess up again, I will do a double update. Anyway, time to meet the judge and the accomplice. On with le chapter!
Harry's POV.
I made my way down the stairs after showering and dressing in some robes, Mr. Weasley said that normal clothes would look strange and not help my case at all, so I stuck with the robes.
I quickly came down and sat next to Ron, who looked tired and had bags under his eyes. Fred and George were trying to enchant their food to float into their mouths, it was a strange sight, but nonetheless, it made me smile a little bit. I was still pretty consumed by my feelings, but the simplicity in life was strange. I started to just eat my waffles in peace. Hermione came down next, she wore a plain white T-shirt and jean shorts covering her down to her knees. She sat with us and started to eat as well. None of us spoke, we were all very tired after all.
Mr. Weasley took me to the Ministry by side-along apparation, then we entered the building that looked very broken down. Mr. Weasley pulled me into the building. I knew by now that in the wizarding world, nothing is what it seems like. Entering the building, I was prepared to meet my fate.
Ginny's POV.
Hermione and I sat in outside, talking like we always did. Hermione read and I zoomed up and down, trying out some new moves. Fred and George said that I was awful, but I knew that I was good. Hermione and I talked about boys, because again they were the subject that most plagued our minds. I was currently ranted to her about my long time crush, Harry.
" - I mean that he's so oblivious. I don't know what to do, Hermione!" Hermione sighed and placed her book down.
"Ginny, my best advice to you would be to date other people. If you date other people you might just find love, possibly ridding yourself of the crush." I thought about that for a second. Maybe, just maybe, I could be wooed over by a boy. I wouldn't have to worry about a crush. I sighed in relief.
"Hermione! You're a genius! This just might work!" Hermione laughed as I flew around, hanging around only by my legs and one arm. Hermione smiled at me.
"I'm grateful that you're so excitable in a time like this." I smiled in a laughing sort of manner.
"Oh, I'm sure that you're fairing much better. My brother still a prat to you?" Hermione rolled her eyes but then looked at the ground.
"I wouldn't know about that. He's so . . . infuriating! I mean, one second he's really sweet and caring, the next he's laughing in my face and teasing me. I don't understand." I gave her a sympathetic smile.
"Don't worry. He's like that. Listen, it's his way of showing he cares. He always says that he doesn't care or dodge the question, but he actually cares about you a lot more than he lets on. When we're alone, he's always asking about you, if you said anything about him or if you mentioned him." Hermione looked up surprised and blushed a bright red.
"R-r-r-really? I didn't know that he cared so much about me." I nodded.
"Oh yeah, he absolutely adores you. Just too afraid to say anything, he hopes that if someone way out of his league starts to like him, maybe you'll finally notice him." Hermione stared at me incredulously.
"I'll notice him? He's the one always off doing something crazy with Harry or somebody. It's like he never cares." I gave her a sincere smile.
"All you've gotta do is try and get to know him better. The more you know, the better you can understand his feelings." Hermione leaned forward.
"I understand, know the person before anything you'll regret happens." I shrugged.
"At least that's what my friends say. Oh wait, I don't have very- AHH!" I almost tumbled from my broom as I was now hanging my my left leg and right arm. Hermione jumped up, looking to somewhat try and help if the need arose. I rattled around, clamoring, trying to get my other foot back on. Finally, at the cost of my right arm now dangling, I was upside down and Hermione laughed.
"My only question for you is how do you stay on those things?" We laughed and I pulled myself back on.
"At least I'm a better rider than Ron is." We laughed and continued our conversation, discussing things that we normally wouldn't say with other people around. I said things that about others that I would never say to their faces. That's why I liked Hermione, she was easy to talk to and fun to be around. I liked her. I guess that's why I like making friends that nobody would consider, they understood me more that anyone else.
Ending it there. Yeah, I don't really think that anyone ever thought of the sister bond that Ginny and Hermione must share. I think that this will affect the story a LOT, so pay attention. These emotions will help and come in handy later on in the story. Also, this will be a very long story based on the pace I'm writing. If I can think of cute scenes that will help the development of the story. Don't worry, I'll try to make them longer, but I just make them as long as I think they should be. Now, until next time, see you later!
