Chapter 5- The Game

!!small spice warning!!

You awoke early the next morning, the morning light streaming through the windows. You rolled over to face the rest of the room, only to see George curled up next to you. His long arm was draped across you, wrapping loosley around your waist. His jaw hung open as he snored lightly. Looking down at him, you couldn't help but smile. Although your feelings were for Ron, the twins had always been undinably attractive. You shook him lightly as his eyes fluttered open. He focused in for a moment before sitting up.

"Well hello there." He says. His voice was raspy from sleep and his bright orange hair standing up messily.

"George I thought you were sleping on the floor!" You laugh, standing up from the bed. "Well that was the plan, but I got cold." He states matter-of-factly. He stands up and pulls on a t-shirt, walking you over to the door.
"Thanks for letting me sleep here." You say, rubbing the back of your neck nervously.
"Any time love." He plants a quick kiss on your forehead before opening the door and guiding you into the hall. You turn back, giving him a tight hug. He reaches down and pats your back. You walk off, reaching back to your dorm to get ready for class.

Once it's time for breakfast, you find your way down to the Great Hall. As you enter, the room seems to go quiet. Everyone looks up from their breakfast and conversations and follow you with their eyes as you walk over to the Gryffindor table. You slide in by Hermione and across from Harry.
"What's going on? Why is everyone looking at me?" You say, shifting uncomfortably. Hermione grabs your hand and pulls you into the hallway away from everyone else. "I need to tell you something." She says quietly.
"So this morning.. there was a rumor going around..." She pauses, looking almost scared for your rection. Then continues. "That you... spent the night with George." She whispers. Your heart seems to drop to your stomach. "What?! Why? Why would people think we did.. That?!" You say frantically. "Well.. I think when you left his room early this morning hugging on him with ruffled hair it may have been the tip off." Harry chimes in, now joing the two of you in the hall. You shake your head in disbeief before going back to eat.

As you sit down across from Ron and Ginny, you look over at Ron who's poking at his plate with the tip of his fork. Once he notices you. he stands up abruptly, storming out of the room. His back mucles tense in anger as he walks away, his eyes never leaving the ground. "Sheesh what's with him?" You ask. Everyone shrugs, exhanging a quick look. You brush off the confution and eat the rest of your breakfast.

Once its time for class, you see Ron walking by in the hallway. His eyes are puffy and red, like he's been crying. His hair is messed up and his white button down is rolled at the sleeves. his first few buttons are undone and his tie is draped loosley over his shoulders. As he walks by you, he shoots you a quick glare before pushing past you. You turn to try and talk to him, but his silence is loud enough. He walks into the classroom and slumps into his seat.

RONS POV

This isn't how it was supposed to go. It was suppposed to be ME who she fell for. It was supposed to be ME who was there ll along. It was suppoed to be ME who gave her a hug in the hallway in the morning as she's leaving my dorm. All of it- everything I wanted with her, he has. 
Now I'm supposed to act like that night never happened? Act like I didn't watch her as she ran her hands down my chest, act like I didn't see the look in her eyes when I held her. Even if she says nothing happened.

I know it did. I can see it when she looks at me. 

Somethings just.... Differant. It's like she wants to say something.  She wants to tell me the truth. 

All I know is the truth is the one thing I dont ever want to hear. I dont want to hear that she was with my brother. I dont want to see her with george. And even if I dont want to face it, she doesnt want to be with me.
