Uncomfortable Truths - - (Drarry Fanfiction)

Chapter Four - Home

Returning to Hogwarts was bitter sweet for Harry. He never felt any place was his home more than this place was. All his good memories were made within these halls and around these grounds but some of his worst memories lived here too. Walking in with Seamus, Theo, Anthony and Ernie was not how he has pictured returning. He had a great time with them on the train, Theo and Anthony both had sharp dry senses of humor which made the ride more amusing than any previous ride, Seamus has been one of his closest friends for the last 7 years, and Ernie is just a really nice guy but he wanted to come back with Ron and Hermoine. He wanted to see the renovations with them, he wanted to comment about how all the damage was fixed to the two people he was with when all the damaged happened. He knew that wasn't fair, Seamus, Anthony and Ernie were there too but it wasn't the same.

Seamus and Harry made their way to the end of the Gryffindor table. The Great Hall had been renovated but it looked the same, the ceiling was still spelled with the night sky, and thousands of floating candles drifted in the air. The room did look bigger and the tables did look longer but Hogwarts would need to accommodate another year of students. Ron slid in next to Harry with Dean sliding in next to Seamus.

"I'm sorry, mate." Ron said looking at Harry.

"Stop, Ron, you didn't do anything. She's your sister. You're going to have to take her side sometimes."

"Still, it looked like she hit you really hard." Ron said looking Harry over.

"Yeah," Seamus frowned, "Split his lip, she did. Nasty bruise too. Blimey Ron, your sister has serious angry problems.

"He looks fine?" Ron tries to see what Seamus is talking about.

"I got it sorted Ron, don't worry." Harry tries to move the conservation along, "How was your ride in?"

"It was crap." Ron sulked, "Ginny and 'Moine glared at each other the whole ride. The tension was horrible. We tried looking for you but we didn't find ya, who'd you ride in with?"

"Me, Macmillan, Goldstein and Nott." Seamus said, "It was fun, too bad we didn't see you."

"Why do you think she's so mad at me?" Harry finally has to ask, if Malfoy didn't pity him, he would have had to go see Madame Pomfrey when he got in. Harry looks over to the Slytherin table, and watches Theo and Malfoy are whispering.

"I think she's hurt, Harry, I don't know, she hasn't talked to me about any of this. She just makes nasty comments when she knows I'm listening." Ron moans, "I don't understand women at all."

"You do know that she cheated on me, that's why we broke up, right? I mean, yeah, I broke it off, but I found her with him... like with him with him." Harry whispers.

Ron stares in disbelief. "Did you two..."

"No, we didn't, but she did while we were together so why is she mad at ME? I didn't do anything to her." Harrys continues to whisper.

"I don't know, how would I know, I didn't even know any of that stuff... why didn't you tell me?"

"I was staying in your house, Ron. It was awkward enough with just us knowing... George knew too but..." Harry stopped talking and just looked defeated. "Never mind, Ron, it doesn't matter. She can be mad at me, I guess she has her reasons."

"Fuck you, Harry!" Ginny slapped the table in front of them as she continued down to sit by her friends. The slap and the curse were loud enough to get the attention of most of the students in the back of the hall. Harry slid down in his seat trying to be smaller for all the eyes that were now on him. Sweeping the room, he noticed Macmillan and Goldstein shooting dirty looks over at the Gryffindor table. Most of the Slytherin's from his year were glaring too.
