| hey x I know what you mean but Harry is still his friend he's just angry with him for now... wait until after you see Gin's explosion here it is x Chapter Eighty – One Ginny wandered into the library to see Hermione, her head in a book and her hand taking notes.
“Hey Hermione” she smiled and sat down,
“Oh Ginny – aren’t you supposed to be in class”
“It got cancelled; Professor Sprout had some trouble with one of those huge, venomous, creepy crawly plants”
“The magical name of it is?”
“Erm … I don’t remember but I’ll look it up before my test next week” she added at the frown on Hermione’s face.
She nodded to give her approval to Ginny’s answer when she spoke again,
“Tell me what happened please, I know damn right that the letter was only a little bit of what went on, and you still haven’t told me or Harry why neither you or Draco seem that bothered most of all Draco”
She shrugged in reply “Me and Ron may have loved each other at some point but we fell apart constantly, there wasn’t a future for us no matter how hard we tried for one and when Amy arrived on the scene, and showed how perfect they got on together, how much she understood him more – and for goodness sakes all those longs walks they took together alone and coming back happy until he saw me again… I was in the way, I understand that and now I can find happiness as well”
Ginny sighed noticing the angry tinged tone her voice took when she spoke about Amy even though she tried to hide it,
“How come Draco hasn’t killed Ron?”
“Him and Amy… it was more of a love at first sight thing, he told me about Angie, he saw her first found out she was nuts and then decided the more reserved of the two was for him. They hit it off, and they were happy but he reckons he always knew it wouldn’t last with her, she’s too much of a free spirit to stick with him”
“You two are the perfect fallbacks in the mess you’re not even fighting for them your just letting them go”
“What would you prefer me to do hide in Myrtles bathroom and sob for the rest of the year? I’m getting on with things, im doing what I can to keep going and to be honest I don’t feel that bad about letting him go”
Ginny shook her head “You’ve been hurt Hermione, he slept with someone else and now he’s parading her around like nothing happened”
“And now I’m healing” She closed the book and rolled up the parchment “I’m fine Gin, so let it go, and don’t hold a grudge against your brother it’s not good for you and you can tell Harry the same”
“I can’t do that Hermione” she shook her head “Harry can do what he wants, but I can’t, stop hating Ron for what he’s done to you”
“Ginny” she sighed in reply “It’s ok really, I’m ok”
“But your not, I can see that and I can see how your trying to hide the fact you now hate Amy”
“That clear is it” she put her head in her hands “He hurt me, but I hurt him first – this mess is my fault”
“If he wasn’t such a git in the first place none of this would have happened you would still be friends”
“But he is and I was stupid enough to get involved, he moved on to someone else and I’m left behind but I’m not alone in this Ginny”
“What Draco, who doesn’t seem the slightest bit bothered?”
“He hides things well”
“What about him kissing you?”
“What about it, there’s nothing going on between us and it had nothing to do with me and Ron”
“But maybe that’s why he’s not that cut up about Amy – he had his eye on you the whole time”
“But I’m not interested so it doesn’t matter” *****
Hermione walked into the quarters Ron behind her after the dinner in the great hall,
“Hermione” he called out before she could escape to her room,
“Yes” she kept on walking and stopped at her door her back still to him,
“Is it ok if Amy comes back here tonight?”
“You don’t need my permission” Her hand reached for the door handle and turned,
“Im considering your feelings”
“You didn’t before why start now” She opened the door,
“Don’t turn it back on me, I’m asking for a simple answer and nothing more”
“Do what you think is the least morally reprehensible” she smiled to herself and walked inside before closing and locking it.
Ron sighed, ran a hand through his hair and shook his head. If she wasn’t going to bother with him, he wasn’t going to bother with her; he would do what he liked, Hermione or no Hermione. He walked to the Gryffindor common room seeing her waiting for him on the couch.
“We can do what we like; I’ve had enough of trying to make things right with her”
“Ok” she shrugged taking his hand as he sat beside her “Why not just use the room that Ginny told me about – what’s it called… it’s the room of something”
“The room of requirement – but that’s kind of there place I guess we’d have to like check with them even”
“Is there nowhere in the school that’s not someone else’s”
“My room, in my half of the shared quarters, she doesn’t get a say” Ron replied coldly,
“And you can deal with the awkwardness can you?” she said smiling “Cause it sure looks like it”
“I can deal with her, ok” he muttered so she leaned up and kissed him to stop his scowl,
“Ok” She said smiling “I’ll get some stuff and be back in a minute then”
“You do that” he said with a grin and stood up spotting Ginny.
She was sitting with her friends and he walked over to stand in front of her,
“What now?” she grumbled looking up to his face,
“Nothing little sister”
“Then why are you standing in front of me” She asked starting to get annoyed,
“I don’t know, thought maybe you’d want to have a conversation with me for some strange reason” He said with a smirk,
She replied icily, “It’s hard enough to get an intelligent word from you; it would be sheer pain to attempt a conversation”
“You don’t look like you’re in pain”
She smirked folding her arms, “I hide it well”
“Where’s Harry since he’s not attached to you” People began to look with the mention of Harry’s name, and then became more interested in listening with each word.
“He’s busy”
“Doing what?”
“Working unlike you, there’s four weeks before newts and I’m a distraction so I told him I’d leave him too it for a bit and I can do mine as well”
“Right and this was your idea? Sure he didn’t just want you away from him for a while because you’re clinging too much to him”
“My idea, we know what’s important where as you seem preoccupied and for your information I don’t’ cling, Harry’s happy enough to have me with him twenty four seven as long as I keep him entertained you know that” She said with a knowing smile that made his ears red and his face contort before he replied with
“Oh well, sharing you sex life to the common room isn’t unusual for you after last terms excitement with Dean”
“And yours involving Draco’s girlfriend isn’t common knowledge?” she questioned a finger going to her lip as if she had to think about it.
Amy came down the staircase but took one look around and went up the boys side,
“I wouldn’t bother Amy” said Ginny her eyes flicked to the movement on the staircase and then back to Ron,
She spoke pausing on the steps, “Why not?”
“Cause not even Harry tries to stop me when I’m angry at Ronald”
Amy sighed and then kept going up, but he was on his way down and stood with her at the bottom of the stairs listening,
“You don’t even try and redeem yourself for what you’ve done” she started irritably
“There’s no point with you as a sister, you don’t listen”
“You don’t pay any attention to what’s going on unless it concerns you, the whole thing you had against me and Harry at the beginning was about you, Hermione told me how you came to Mungo’s and told her you were only upset Harry was hurt because you hadn’t done it yourself”
“When you think you can trust someone and then they steal your sister you have the urge to watch them suffer” he replied coldly, “I’m a crappy wizard who nobody likes and trails around in the shadows of greater ones you said that to me your self and now it’s not like I’m good enough for much else now is it” He said with a grin,
“Not if you don’t try Ronald” she sighed “You know full well you’re a better wizard then you try and fool people into thinking you are”
“Yeah, yeah”
“Yes Ronald”
“Quit calling me that”
“Not until you get it into your head that you can be just as good if not better then most people in your year if you focus on work and not who your going to jump into bed with next” she smirked and he pulled out his wand,
“Don’t even think about it Ronald” hers was already in hand and at his throat standing up before his head had risen up from looking at his pocket.
“I know how you duel, I know your weakness’s and Merlin Ronald I know I could beat you”
Everyone had now turned to stare at them in silence when a voice came from the stairway to break in when she thought they were going too far. “Stop it you two, just stop it”
Harry knew it was best to let them sort it, when Ginny was angry she wasn’t going to listen to him and kept quiet just watching,
“This is between brother and sister, keep your nose out Amy” Shouted Ginny keeping her eyes and wand on Ron where as his went to Amy and then back to Ginny.
“You didn’t deserve Hermione” Said Ginny coldly “And you think our families going to accept you when you bring her home instead”
“I DON’T CARE” he replied firmly, wand still pointed at Ginny.
Ginny smiled “Right, how do you want to do this Ronnykins”
“I’m not going to duel you, I’m not asking you to approve and I’m not going to put up with you just like I’m not going to put up with Hermione. I’m with Amy like or lump it, just like you’re with Harry”
“Nothing like me and Harry” she hissed angrily and lowered her wand with a glare, “We didn’t tell some one we couldn’t love them anymore over one little letter, right before climbing into bed with someone else’s girlfriend – you’re a lying cheating hypocrite”
“It wasn’t like that, she lied to me, and she’s been lying to herself. We never could have kept going as we were we were both unhappy and we knew that me and Amy are better together then me and her ever were”
“She told you from the beginning that you couldn’t be together because you’re a idiot but it was you that persisted the relationship on her, you that kissed her first, you that was miserable until she was anywhere near you”
“Things change, I saw that it wasn’t as good as I hoped”
“Nothing is ever like that for you because you’re an arrogant self-centred pathetic little creature”
“Amy doesn’t seem to mind which is more then I can say for Hermione”
“You pig”
“Its’ better then nothing” he replied
“Why can’t you just say sorry to her?”
“I’ve got nothing to apologise for and even if I said it she’s not going to want to listen and neither are you”
“I’m here I’m waiting”
“Not going to happen, I’m not going to apologise, when I’ve done nothing wrong”
“YOU HAVE, YOU CHEATED ON MY BEST FRIEND, YOU BROKE HER INTO PIECES AND LEFT HER EMPTY SHE DOESN’T EVEN CRY, SHE DOESN’T SMILE YOU’VE HURT HER SO MUCH”
“SHE LIED TO ME” he shook his head irritated “AMY AND DRACO WERE OVER, ME AND HERMIONE WERE OVER”
“Only you didn’t wait to let Hermione know any of this before you spent the night with that” she pointed her wand furiously at Amy,
“Don’t you dare Ginerva Molly Weasley” he moved forward towards his wand raised, Harry flinched but didn’t speak,
“What calling me my full name is going to command that I respect you? After what you’ve done”
“No, but you threaten her and abuse her and you have me to answer to”
“That supposed to scare me is it, that she can’t look after herself, even as an ex death eater?”
“Her involvements with you know who are not apart of this” he answered back,
“His name was Voldemort Ronald, he kidnapped and tortured me, he killed Harry, he killed hundreds of people and she was on his side”
“And Draco was what when he tried to kidnap you right under Harry’s nose, asleep the whole time?”
“NO BUT IT’S NOT HER OR HIM I HAVE THE PROBLEM WITH ITS YOU, YOU SELF- ABSORBED, EGOTISTICAL, INSENSITIVE MORON”
“I’M YOUR BROTHER WHAT DO YOU EXPECT, HAPPY FAMILIES?”
“A brother who’s not a complete let down to me and my family to begin with would be nice” she replied putting her wand away tears streaming down her cheeks. Ron’s ears turned scarlet, his face was fast becoming pale and his hands turned into fists at his sides.
“I don’t need family, I’ve got Amy” Ron put away his wand, “You ready” He said turning to her,
“Yeh – but – Ron, don’t leave it like this-”Amy said attempting to stop him,
“No go, run away Ron that’s what your good at remember” Ginny said wiping the angry tears but they wouldn’t stop falling
He walked out of the portrait hole. Amy looked at Harry who made no attempt to reply before following Ron out. He had an arm wrapped round Ginny and led her up the staircase to his dorm.
She hadn’t spoken and was just lying against his chest, the curtains drawn around them breathing in and out slowly, the ragged breaths and the wetness of his t-shirt the indications she was still crying. His hand stroked her hair gently and his mind pushed out all thoughts so she wouldn’t have to have them as well as her own.
“It’s ok Gin” he whispered “You’re going to be ok and so is he”
After a while her breathing changed, it became more regular and quiet so he looked down at her closed puffy red eyes. After two hours of silent crying she was asleep.
