Harry Potter and the Star of Hope Part 3 Chapter 9 together at last
Ron and Hermione scuffled tensly through every book she could think of. medevil crushs, warlocks in love, love potions of the ages, onethousand ways to curse your true loves lover. "What are we looking for Hermione?" Ron asked looking quit bewildered. "Shoosh I'll know it when we find it!!"
They looked for what seemed hours, Ron glanced at his watch. "its nearly three in the morning." He said streching his arms and yawning. "Oh no!! " Hermione gasped. "We had better go or someone is liable to catch up grab as many books as you can we'll look in the commonroom! I'm not going to be caught looking through these books!!!" Ron hissed." Oh very well i'll just take these two." She picked up two fairly thick books. Wizards in love forced to hide, and Wizards of the ages out.
Hermione sat in a big maroon chair in front of the warm crackling fire and Ron crouched beside her in the floor poking at the flames that were giving off a plesent sent because Fred and George had thrown a couple dingyberry bombs into the fire to freshen up the room. "I'm going to bed I'll see you in the morning." Ron said sleepishly. "Good night." Is all Hermione said, with her nose still burried deep into her book.
"Ron wake up!come on Ron wake up!"" Harry? What is it? ""It's almost noon Ron come on! ""Noon!!! Why didn't you wake me earlier? ""I dunno you looked awefully peacful I didn't want to disturb you." "You can disturb me anytime you want Harry! I'd much rather spend my time with YOU.............AND HERMIONE!" He said a quick second later. "Then in bed sleeping!!" Ron said with an angrily look on his face." Sorry." Harry said as he pulled Ron out of bed "lets go eat some lunch before we have to go to Hurboligy." Ron grabbed his robes and put them on as they left through the portrian hole and shut it with a bang. "How rude!" the lady in the painting said.
Once they got to the great hall everyone had already eaten lunch and left for there next class's. "Where is Hermione? "Ron asked looking at Harry as they sat down at the griffindore table as toast and bacon, ham, eggs, hot chocolate,and blueberry tarts emerged in front of them. "I dunno she said she has something she has to do but she refused to tell me what. I suppose it's something to do with here work you know how she is about that!" "Yeah!!" Ron said with a smirck across his face. "I wonder what Sprout has up her sleeves for us today?" "I dunno but I hope it's not boring like all of her class's usually are!" "yeah lets cross our fingers. "
Ron stuffed the last blueberry tart in his mouth and they headed out on the grounds to Professor Sprouts Hurboligy class. "Hey Harry!! Over hear!!" Harry looked across the grounds and saw Hagrid waveing him over. "I'll meet you in class." Harry told Ron as he took off to see Hagrid. "Hello Hagrid!" "Hullo Harry!" "What did you want?" Harry asked." Well I've been talking to your little friend Hermione and well I thought she had taken a liken to yeh!" Harry's face turned red. "But I was wrong I talked to her the other day. Seems she's been helpin someone else that's got the crush on yeh." "Who???" Harry asked excitedly. "She asked me not ter tell yeh." "AAAHH come on Hagrid!" "But I will tell Yeh this much Harry I'd never thought it ter be true if she hadn't told me, I trust her word..I dunno why.. But I trust her word. " As Harry walk back asross the lawns towards Hurboligy, pondering what Hagrid had said which didn't make much sence to Harry. (Pop) He almost toppeled over something had cracked him in the side of the head. Harry turned around to see malfoy laughing at him, Harry went for his wand but Malfoy had his already out and ready, "Petritotalis!" Malfoy yelled. Half of Harry's body went stiff and numb, he couldn't move his wand at all or part of his mouth it was no use he couldn't even mutter a spell half way rite. Malfoy had raised his want agin getting ready for another blow when someone yelled. "Extracto!!!" Next second Malfoy's wand flew out of his hand and into Harry's free one, Harry quickly preformed the counter cure that Hermione showed him and pointed his wand at Malfoy. Malfoy took off as fast as lightening. "WOW!!!" He hear a voice say "I never knew how good that felt until now seeing malfoy run crying like that." It was Ron. "Thax Ron." Harry said. "I thought you were in Hurboligy?"
"AAAhhh wouldn't been the same without ya!" Ron sniggered. Harry swung his arm around Ron's neck and pulled him into him tightly, Ron looked at Harry and there eyes locked bringing there faces closer, closer, closer Then they both busted out laughing. "Did you see the look on Malfoy's face I'd gave anything to have had a camra!!!" Harry said as he laughed "Whats a camra?" Ron asked still laughing. "Nevermind..." at that moment Hermione came out running she smiled at the sight of Harry's arm around Ron.
"What's up Hermione?" Harry asked. She looked at Ron and gave him a wink. "You two missed Herbology!!!!" she said looking furious. "So!" said Harry. "We were having some fun right Ron?" Harry said to Ron pulling him tighter to himself, Ron just smiled and wrapped his arms around Harry as they walked with Hermione back into the castle.
Harry left to find Professor Mcgonagall to give her Malfoys wand and tell her that he had dropped it, that he just wanted to return it. Hermione pulled Ron into an empty room. "What are you doing?" Ron said franticly "I've been looking for something that might help you...with you know your situation!" Hermione said cooly. "Oh did you find anything?" "No not really I found something about the sorcerer's stone something about it that can make a person see the truth or something I have to read more on it first."
"But in the mean time cant you talk to Fred or George about it?" "What of course not!!" Ron said looing quite disgusted. "They would just laugh and make fun of me!" "I really think their above all that Ron they are quite nice i'd bet they would love to help out their little brother but that's your decision isn't there anyone else that you could speak with?" asked Hermione. "Well I could ask charlie he would understand he might be able to give me some information." "Good it's settled then i'll keep searching the books and you send Charlie a letter."
That night in Gryffindore tower everyone was laughing and cutting up even Ron but Harry wasn't anywhere to be seen and Hermione was still in the library researching for Ron. Ron looked around at everyone noticing nevile sitting over in a corner by himself he decided to go talk to him. "Hello Nevil!" "Hello Ron....." "Whats the matter Nevil?" "Oh it's nothing..." But Ron wasn't fooled he could tell when something was bothering someone especially Nevil. "Oh come on Nevil I'm your friend am I not?" "Yeah of course!" Nevil said quickly and quietly. "Ok then now tell me as your friend whats bothering you!" Nevil was looking at the floor playing with a single chess piece from Dean Thomas's chess board. "Ok but don't laugh!" "I wont I promise." Nevil screwed up his face let out a sigh and said in a whisper. "Hermione!" "Oh has she been pestering you over school work?" "No!" Ron looked at Nevil baffled. "Well what then?" "I, I think I like her." Ron almost busted out laughing but caught himself. "Is that all? Whay don't you just ask her out?" "What!" Nevil shouted loud enough for everyone to here. "I couldn't do that." He said in a much softer voice.
'Why is that?" Ron asked "Same reason as you wont ask Harry!" "What's that?" "Fear of being rejected..." Ron didn't say a word he just put his arm around Nevil. They sat like that for awhile before the silence was broken by a voice from behind them. "So you couldn't get Harry now your trying on little defencless Nevil?" Ron and Nevil turned around. "Why don't you get your faggy arm from around Nevil." "Why don't you shut up!" Ron said looking very angry. "Why don't you get up and make me fag!!" Ron was about to jump up when he heard "THAT'S ENOUGH SEAMUS!!!!" It was Fred and George. "Oh hi , Fred, hi George, I, I didn't see you there." "Yeah sure!" George said. "Why don't you get outta here before we let a creekingcrawler out on you!" Fred said ferociously.
Seamus turned to Ron and appoligized and left the room. "Thanks Fred thanks George." "No problem lil bro. Whats wrong with Nevil?" "Oh well I dont think thats my place to say." Ron said trying to motion Fred and George to ask Nevil with his eyes.
They got the idea right off and pulled up a chair to talk to Nevil, Ron got up and started to go get him something to drink when he remembered the letter he had to write to charlie, He scuffled up to the dormitory went to his four poster and got a Quill, some ink, and a peace of parchment and started writeing to Charlie.
"Dear Charlie, Hi how ya doing big bro? Everything cool with the Dragons? ha, ha, ha. Just kidding. Anyways everything here is ok I guess. work, work, work. Oh yeah did you know Harry Potter is hear at Hogwarts this year? Me and Harry have become pretty good friends, very good actually, and thats why i'm writing you Charlie, I know you have expierance in the field of boy's and I need some advice. Heres my problem.............. I think I like Harry alot even more than alot. Can you give me some kind of advice any would be helpfull....................thanks Love Ron "
Ron folded up the letter but it safly in his robes pocket and headed out of Gryffindore Tower passing Fred, George and Nevil. Fred and George were giveing Nevil some advice on how he could tell if Hermione like him the same. Ron pushed open the portriat just in time to be greeted by Hermione. "There you are!" Ron said looking at her with curious eyes. "Have you been in the library all night?" "Yes!" Hermione said sticking her nose in the air and started walking passed him.
"Wait do you want to come with me im going to send Charlie the letter." "Oh good you wrote it lets see it then!" Hermione took the letter and began reading it as they walk down the stone steps into the long corridores toward the owlry.
Once they got to the owlry Ron got an old brown barn owl named Erroll who seemed very eager to take his note, Ron tied the note tightly around the owls leg and off it went out the window. On there way back they heard a noise it sounded like someone whimpering they started to follow the sound when. "Weasley!, Granger! what are you doing roaming around the castle this late at night?" It was snape a greasy haired wizard that taught their potions class but wanted so badly to get his hands on the defence against the dark arts job. "I was sending a letter to my... "
"Don't lie Weasley!" Snape said cutting him short. "He isn't Professor!" Hermione butted in."That will be fifty points from Gryffindore for speaking out of turn and ten more for being out thislate now get back to your tower NOW!"
Snape quickly turned on his heels and was gone, Hermione and Ron took off back to Gryffindore tower forgetting all about what they had heard, The common room was now completly vacant, Fred, George, and Nevil had gone to bed. Hermione climbed into the maroon chair that sat in front of the fireplace picked up her Transfigurations book and began to read. "Have you seen Harry?" Ron asked Hermione. "No. I wonder where he is I havent seen him since he left to take Malfoy's wand to Mcgonagall. "
"Well i'm sure he'll be back Professor Mcgonagall is probably questioning him about Malfoy."
"Yeah your probably right. I'm going to bed." "Goodnight!" Hermione said. "Goodnight!" Ron said back muffled by a yawn.
Ron was awoken by a scuffling noise near his bed he grasped his wand tightly in his and and started looking around he figured someone was there to try and scare him but he wasn't going to let that happen, he then saw a dark figure cross the room it had been sitting on the edge of his bed now he was scared almost stiff he quietly whispered. "Luminus" and a dim light sprouted from the tip of his wand, Ron moved the wand in circles looking all around the room, did he imagine seeing something he thought to himself. But no there it was setting on the edge of bed. "Wait a minute thats Harry's bed" Ron thought out loud. "Harry is that you?" No answer. Ron crawled out of bed his slowly walked toward the figure and noticed it's head burried in it's hands Whimpering the closer Ron got he could see it better it was indeed Harry. "Harry are you ok whats wrong?"
Harry didn't answer he kelp his hands over his face to hide the tears. Ron sat down beside Harry. "Harry please whats wrong?" Harry raised his head hesitantly and looked at Ron it looked like Harry had been crying for hours. "I, I, I saw." Harry stuttered.
"What did you see harry?"
"I, I saw my parents!" He sobbed. "In a dream?" Ron asked." No!" "You are not saying you really saw them are you Harry I mean there, there dead Harry...." Harrys sobbs came harder before he started telling Ron what had happened.
"After I left earlier today to take Mcgonagall Malfoy's wand I over heard Snape arguing with Professor Quirrall I guess I got curious and I stayed and listened Snape was telling Quirrall something about a stone of some sort but I couldn't understand everything Sape was asking Quirrall all sorts of questions and Quirrall didn't seem to like it but seemed to be to scared to say anything then snape spat at Quirrall and came toward the door I was at so I had to run I ran down a corridor I hadn't noticed before Snape was still coming so I hid in a room that was unlocked and thats when I saw it, it was a mirror it was huge I had to stay hid for awhile untill I knew it was safe to leave so I went up to the mirror and looked in but I didn't just see my own reflection I saw my mum and my dad they looked at me and smiled I couldn't hardly believe my eyes I saw my parents for the very first time I sat looking at them for hours and they looked back smiling it was the happiest few hours of my life, then Dumbledore came in he explained everything about the mirror but told me that he was sending it away it feltlike my heart ripped in half when I realized I would never be able to see my parents agin Dumbledore sent me back here he said I would be better off here, I told dumbledore that I missed my parents and I needed them I guess I got a little angry, Dumbledore said my parents will always be around for me but I couldn't dwell on dreams forever he said who I needed was under my nose all year and I asked him who. But he didn't have to answer that I already knew and that made me feel even worse." "Who Harry?" Harry looked up at Ron. "You Ron!" Ron looked at Harry stunned at what he had just heard come out of Harry's mouth.Suddenly there was a tapping at the window it was the brown barn owl Erroll Ron used to send Charlie's letter. "My answer!" Ron gaspped and jumped out of bed and ran over to the window and let the owl in.
"What answer?" Harry asked. "I, I sent my brother charlie a letter asking him is he could give me some advice on something." "On what?" "Ummm nothing!!" Ron said trying to hide the letter he had taken from Erroll's leg. "Come on Ron show me!" "I, I cant Harry it's stupid! I thought what I told you was stupid tonight also but you didn't think it was." Ron looked at Harry and then took out the letter from charlie and read it aloud.
"Dear Ron, Hey lil bro. I got your letter, I am very pleased to hear you have taken a liking to someone i'm not really sure I can help a lot but I'll try. Ok here goes, when I first met Oliver Wood it was instant chemistry for the both of us and even though he is there at school still and I am in Romania we still manage to make it work and it is really going well for us and I do admit it is tough and I do get really lonely but I think of the times we will see one another and I feel all warm and tingly inside and I also have great news that I will be home for the Christmas Holiday and that Mum said it was ok that Oliver spends the time with us and I am really excited and if what you tell me is true then it's got to be the same way with you...and Harry if he feels the same about you as you feel about him then I would say its meant for you two to be together. But the only way I can tell you if Harry feels the same is for you to tell him how you feel about him and if he feels the same he will tell you. If not then all he can do is say that he dosen't feel the same. I hope that helped Ron. Love Charlie. "
Ron looked at Harry and asked him if he felt the same. Harry looked deep into Ron's eyes and put his hand on Ron's cheeck. "This is what I mean." Harry moved his face forward and their lips met and they kissed gently for the first time. And for the first time Harry felt great load lift off his chest."does that answer your question?" Ron had tears in his eyes as they hugged and lay back in Harry's bed and fell asleep in each others arms.
