Ron Weasley

Of all the trees we could've hit, we had to get one that hits back. {{#Cutie}}

[Ron Weasley @DisregardsRules]

@TheBoyWhoSeeks = to flash Harry a sheepish sort of grin before concluding.

"Then just let me know what you find out afterwards."

[Ron Weasley @DisregardsRules]

@TheBoyWhoSeeks "Hermione said some bloke already asked her to the Yule ball..."

[Ron Weasley @DisregardsRules]

@TheBoyWhoSeeks = that since Harry was more or less the braver of the two of us, I figured he could handle Hermione too.

"And you know since you are already on the topic with Ginny, you could bring up Hermione to Ginny and found out what answer Hermione gave to whoever asked her."

I paused =

[Ron Weasley @DisregardsRules]

@TheBoyWhoSeeks "You know..."

I began to say as I was more or less thinking aloud while I continued to speak.

"Maybe you should take the initiative of asking Ginny if she agreed to go with whatever bloke asked her to go to the Yule ball with her."

I proceeded to suggest but justified =

[Ron Weasley @DisregardsRules]

@OfCleverBlaze = anticipation to see if they will succeed in pushing Hermione and I back together... A goal that, in spite of how pointlessly hopeful they were over it, I did not foresee it happening. I mean, Hermione made her choice. Not like we could force her to suddenly want to be with me.

[Ron Weasley @DisregardsRules]

@OfCleverBlaze = the moral support from my best friend, if nothing else. Oh yeah, this was already shaping up to be a bloody long weekend for all of us. Mum barking out orders, my siblings and Harry watching every interaction between Hermione and I, and everyone on the edge of their seats in =

[Ron Weasley @DisregardsRules]

@OfCleverBlaze = response before he quietly aired out. "I'll help you." Harry offered in a volume just loud enough for me to hear. Knowing Hermione likely did not overpack so there may only be need for one of us to carry her bags, but even so, I appreciated Harry's offer because I needed =

[Ron Weasley @DisregardsRules]

@OfCleverBlaze = heard my mum say before her fingers gave a brief snap while gesturing toward Hermione's luggage. "Ronald, where are your manners? Grab her bags and carry them to the room for her. Come on, no need to dawdle." Mum instructed which prompted Harry to shoot me a humored grin in =

[Ron Weasley @DisregardsRules]

@OfCleverBlaze = approving in getting that first encounter out of the way before we were all about to spend a lot of time and close quarters together over the course of this weekend.

"Come along, Hermione, dear. Let me show you to the room you will be staying in while you are here." I =

[Ron Weasley @DisregardsRules]

@OfCleverBlaze = then I retracted my arm and let it fall back to my side as I took an uncertain step back before taking Harry's side. Judging by the expression he shot me as I did so, Harry wanted to laugh, but seemingly refrained. Instead he gave me a nod as if to briefly convey his =

[Ron Weasley @DisregardsRules]

@OfCleverBlaze = awkwardly hug me back... Even did her part to make a bout of small talk about Hogwarts. Not that I was even listening since all I could focus on was everyone's eyes nosily beading down on us.

"Uh... yeah... Brilliant to hear." I said as I awkwardly cleared my throat and =

[Ron Weasley @DisregardsRules]

@OfCleverBlaze = I to acknowledge each other. Blimey, this was bloody awful. I thought to myself as I tugged her in for a side hug as a means of greeting her. Uncertain if this was even the best course of action given our torrid history with one another. Still, for her part, she did =

[Ron Weasley @DisregardsRules]

@OfCleverBlaze = I felt in my chest as well as the knotting of my stomach, it felt like it was just yesterday.

I suppose what made matters even more torturous was having Harry, Ginny, and the whole family standing here practically salivating with anticipation as they waited for Hermione and =

[Ron Weasley @DisregardsRules]

@OfCleverBlaze Awkward. Awkward and on the verge of torture. I thought to myself here and now as I was not only forced to be face to face with Hermione again after she walked out on me and shattered my heart into pieces... Three years had passed since that moment and yet judging by the stung =

[Ron Weasley @DisregardsRules]

@TheBoyWhoSeeks = defy her orders. Even if those instructions would undoubtedly lead to my humiliating demise.

"Let's hope you are right, Harry, because it's bad enough that I am going to look like my Great Aunt Tessie in these dress robes. Last thing I need is permanent documentation of it."

[Ron Weasley @DisregardsRules]

@TheBoyWhoSeeks "Blimey, Harry... Crabbe just spilled his pumpkin juice all over Malfoy's robes." Laughs mischievously. "How long do you wager till he sends an owl to tattle about it to his father?"

[Ron Weasley @DisregardsRules]

@TheBoyWhoSeeks As much as I appreciated Harry's audible support to my determination not to leave my dormitory suite if mum dares to show up here to take photographs, we both knew there is no chance on that plan ever coming to pass. I mean, mum would drag me out by my ears if I dared to =

[Ron Weasley @DisregardsRules]

@TheBoyWhoSeeks "Countless times, mate, but that's never deterred me from following your lead anyway."

[Ron Weasley @DisregardsRules]

@TheBoyWhoSeeks = has passed?"

I inquired but flashed Harry a mischievous grin when he laid his idea out to me on how he could ensure nobody else could take Ginny to the Yule Ball except him.

"Brilliant, Harry. Hermione nor Ginny would ever approve of such antics but I think it's brilliant."

[Ron Weasley @DisregardsRules]

@TheBoyWhoSeeks "Blimey, Harry! Not the smartest lot, are we?"

My head gave a shake at the realization that neither one of us even thought to ask Ginny and Hermione if they had accepted the invitations.

"Would we look even more foolish now if we asked them what they said after so much time =

[Ron Weasley @DisregardsRules]

@SlytherinVeins = the matter, Malfoy? Peeved over the reality that mummy and daddy would not even notice if you did not come home at night? Or more so in knowing you are nothing more than a tedious burden to them?"

[Ron Weasley @DisregardsRules]

@SlytherinVeins "Better to be in close quarters with a family who cares about one another than to be in a mansion that is cold and uncaring."

I shrugged in response. Obviously my family and I did not share one bedroom. We were not rich, by any means, but we did fine considering.

"What's =
