The Gryffindor Boy's Dorms--Ron's Bed

Mar 01, 2005 23:00

Ron had woken up early for once in his life, just so that he could shower in the prefect's bath before anyone else got there, so that no one saw his arm. It was to be the start of a pattern ( Read more... )

Ginny is in the Common Room, sitting by the fire and reading a book she nicked from Charlie's room at the Burrow. However fascinating the subject is - the lives of all the great dragon-tamers through wizarding history - she just can't seem to concentrate. Her mind keeps slipping to thoughts about a certain green-eyed wizard - although she won't admit it to herself.

Bugger him. I wish there was some Potion I could take to get him out of my mind.

The sound of step makes her look up and she sees Ron descending the steps, a dark look on his face.

"Ron? Are you all right?"

I hope this isn't about Hermione again...

Suddenly realizing that talking to Ginny means explaining getting beat up by Malfoy, he looks around, trying to find some means of escape, but he knows Ginny's going to find out what happened from Hermione anyway.

"No," he mutters. As he walks closer, Ginny will probably be able to see the bruises on his face and the scabs on his lip where it was split.

Ginny can barely contain a gasp when she sees Ron's face - he looks like he was in a terrible fight, and she can only think of one person who would do that to her brother. Just thinking about it makes the anger boil up inside her.

Malfoy. That bloody bastard...

"Ron, when did this happen? And how?"

She makes room for him on the couch so he can sit down next to her.

"Malfoy. Last night, outside the library. The Ferret and Crabbe and Goyle caught me alone and beat the snot out of me," he told her, sitting down, his head still hanging. "Harry's been trying to give Hermione and I the slip all day so he can go off and pound his face in."

Ginny is angered and shocked, but tries her best to contain herself. She lays a comforting hand on Ron's arm.

"Oh Ron... Don't worry, sooner or later, that prick will get what's coming to him. We won't let him get away with this."

She frowns and looks away.

"I'm worried about Harry, though - his temper even worst than yours. If he beats Malfoy up, that'll give him an excuse to take revenge."

When will it ever stop, then?

Ron winces almost unconsciously and pulls his arm away when Ginny touches it. It stills burns quite a bit.

Trying to make it seem as if he just doesn't want to be touched, he just sits there very stiffly.

"We'll keep him from doing anything daft, don't worry," Ron tells her reassuringly.

Ginny smiles. She wonders how it will feel like to be alone at Hogwarts next year without her brother - it's silly, really, but she always feels safe when he's around.

"Yeah, it'll be all right. I don't think we should tell Mum and Dad, though - there's no sense in getting them to worry."

"Yeah, no reason to tell them," he says rather distantly. He tries composing that letter in his mind.

Dear Mum and Dad,

Guess what! I got beaten to a pulp the other day by Draco Malfoy and his gorilla-faced cronies.

And by the way, Draco marked me with the Malfoy crest like an errant house-elf, so I'm now Malfoy's personal property. Sorry I completely failed to uphold the Weasley family name in every way possible.

How are you doing?
