"SO TELL ME, CORMAC, DO YOU SEE ANYTHING OF YOUR UNCLE TIBERIUS THESE DAYS?"
you sit next to hermione, eating your sundae with an unimpressed look.
the two of you and harry were at slughorn's party, and god you had never been more bored.
cormac had been eye-fucking hermione the whole time and you wished for nothing more than to reach over and strangle the daylights out of him.
"yes, sir. in fact, i'm meant to go hunting with him and the minister of magic over the holidays"
"ah, well, be sure to give them both my best"
"and what about your uncle, belby?" slughorn asks a kid who was shovelling down his ice cream.
"for those who don't know, marcus' uncle invented the wolfsbane potion. is he working on anything new?"
the boy shrugs, "don't know. him and dad don't get on" he eats while talking, "probably cause my dad says potions are rubbish. says the only potion worth having is a stiff one at the end of the day"
you roll your eyes.
"and what about you, miss granger? what exactly does your family do in the muggle world?"
hermione pauses, "my parents are dentists"
everyone goes silent.
"they tend to people's teeth"
"fascinating. and is that considered a dangerous profession?"
"no. although, one boy, robbie fenwick did bite my father once" she laughs slightly, "he needed ten stitches"
there was an awkward silence, you facepalm.
slughorn coughs behind his hand, "uhm.. well, what about your family, miss uzui?"
you deadpan, "er.. all dead, actually. except my brother. he's a.. fighter?"
everyone chokes on their food, looking away awkwardly.
slughorn opens his mouth to speak but is interrupted by the door opening, you look to the side.
ginny had entered, she was wearing a black shimmery dress.
"ah, miss weasley. come in, come in"
"look at her eyes" hermione whispers, "they've been fighting again. her and dean"
"sorry. i'm not usually late"
harry stands up awkwardly, you blink, facepalming and trying to resist your snort.
way to make it obvious, potter
"no matter. you're just in time for dessert, that is, if belby's left you any" slughorn jokes, wheezing.
you glance at harry who awkwardly sat back down.
"what?"
"nothing" you look back at your ice cream, smirking.
you glance upwards, mclaggen was licking his fingers rather suggestively while staring at hermione.
you stare at mclaggen until he catches your eye, not breaking the stare that wished a thousand deaths.
he looked away nervously.
YOU GLANCE AT RON AS HE WALKS DOWN TO YOU THREE, BOTH HIS AND YOUR FIRST QUIDDITCH GAME LOOMING.
you weren't nervous, however. you were confident in your skills.
ron, on the other hand..
people were mocking him and calling him a loser as he walked, making fun of the brown protection hat he was wearing.
"so how was it, then?"
you look up.
"how was what?"
"your dinner party?"
"pretty boring, actually"
"terrible" you groan.
"though i think harry enjoyed dessert. slughorn's' having christmas too, you know. and we're meant to bring someone" hermione says, clearly insinuating something.
"i expect you'll be bringing mclaggen. he's in the slug club, isn't he?"
you roll your eyes,
jealousy's getting the better of you, weasley
"actually, i was going to ask you"
"really?"
lavender hops over, tapping ron on the shoulder.
"good luck today, ron. i know you'll be brilliant" she says feverly, you raise an eyebrow.
"i'm resigning. after today's match, mclaggen can have my spot"
you sit back a bit.
"have it your way" harry says, pushing a goblet closer to him, "juice?"
"sure"
"hello, everyone"
you blink, turning to luna. she had a giant, what seemed to be hand-made, lion head mask thingy sitting on her head and framing her face, which was protruding from the lion's mouth.
"you look dreadful, ron. is that why you put something in his cup?"
ron pauses.
"is it a tonic?"
harry puts the small tube of liquid luck back in his pocket, you smirk.
harry was lying. you hadn't heard the droplets of anything.
"liquid luck" hermione says.
harry smiles.
"don't drink it, ron" hermione hisses.
ron brings the goblet to his lips, taking a big gulp.
"you could be expelled for that"
"i don't know what you're talking about"
instantly, ron looked more cheery.
"come on, harry. we've got a game to win"
you and hermione exchange a look, you smirking with a wink.
THE QUAFFLE WAS IN THE AIR AND THE GAME HAD COMMENCED.
slytherin had the quaffle, ducking and dodging between gryffindors.
a shot was made, to which ron blocked.
you grin widely from your shot in the sky, wacking the bludger at a slytherin player.
every shot made, ron blocked almost effortlessly.
everyone cheers even louder as the quaffle goes through slytherin hoops.
everyone starts to chant 'weasley', and you couldn't deny feeling proud for the red-head.
NOW YOU WERE ALL IN GRYFFINDOR COMMON ROOM, RON SICK WITH SMUGNESS.
just like it had been when harry completed the first task in your fourth year, everyone was crowded around ron and cheering loudly, chanting 'weasley'
you stand by harry and hermione, smirking. you had known since meeting him that ron lived in the shadow of his siblings, and even becoming friends with harry painted him as a side character. seeing him get glory was quite nice as you knew he had longed for it.
"you really shouldn't have done it" hermione shakes her head.
"i know. i suppose i could've just used a confundus charm"
you snort.
hermione looked shocked, "that was different. that was tryouts. this was an actual game"
harry takes out the entirely full vial of liquid luck from his pocket.
hermione's eyes widen, "you didn't put it in. ron only thought you did"
harry nods with a smile, you just grin.
you gasp slightly as lavender pulls ron down, wrapping her arms around his neck and kissing him.
you purse your lips, looking over at hermione who looked upset.
you frown deeply, tugging hermione gently through the crowd, the two of you leaving the common room.
ron was one daft boy.
you both sit on the bottom step, hermione rests her head on your arm, sniffling slightly.
a flurry of hummingbirds pop up above hermione's head, you glance up at them but mostly ignore it.
after not long, harry had come down the stairs, hermione wipes her eyes.
"charms spell. i'm just practicing"
"well, they're really good"
harry sits on hermione's other side.
"how does it feel, harry?" she sniffles, "when you see dean with ginny?"
it was silent for a moment, "i know. i see the way you look at her"
you purse your lips, resting your chin in your palm.
"you both are my best friends"
you frown slightly as lavenders giggling approaches, her and ron were holding hands and she looked overly excited. you grimace,
oh, god..
they both stop in front of you three.
"oops. i think this room's taken" she hugs ron's arm.
"what's with the birds?"
lavender runs off.
hermione stands up angrily, "oppugno"
the birds circle hermione's head before shooting at ron, exploding into feathers against the wall.
ron just walks off, looking confused.
hermione sits back down, you sigh as she rests her head on harry's shoulder.
"it feels like this" harry says.
