Chapter 19

During the following weeks, John and I did get rather "friendlier". Now I was sure it was flirting. But he kept it rather subtle out of his office so no one had a clue. I did feel bad about Ron trough. I had tried to write a letter to him to break up, but I was just unable to find the words. I needed to see him face to face to do it and Easter break was quickly approaching. In the meantimes, I wasn't being exactly faithful, but there was nothing wrong about a little flirting, right?

Funny how flirting was the reason I was mad at Ron in the first palce...

A week before break, I was reading in the common room, not giving up on finding out the strange things that had happened to me, when Ginny stormed in, looking bothered. She looked around until our eyes met and she walked up to me.

"You! What the bloody Hell is going on between you and my brother?" she said, pointing an accusing finger.

"What are you talking about?" I pretended not to know.

"Don't play stupid, because that's not what you are, Hermione! I just got a letter from Harry. You haven't been answering Ron's letters and now he's freaking out! He thinks your silence is you breaking up with him and he isn't taking it well at all. Harry's even scared for him. You may be my friend, but he is my brother, Mione," she explained, looking worried.

There was a huge ball in my stomach and I felt ten times worst about breaking up with him. Now that I knew that he would not take it well if I really did break up, it made me hesitate over my decision.

"I-I didn't break up with him, Ginny," I assured her. "I was still mad about what happened over Christmas break," I lied. "But I'm over that now. And I'll write to him tonight to let him know."

I smiled sweetly to her and she looked like she calmed down a bit.

"Ok then. Sorry for freaking out on you, it's just... I know how much Ron love's you and that he would be a wreck if you ever left him. It'd break his heart. You're not only his girlfriend, you're his best friend too."

I felt 100 times worst, but I kept a warm smile plastered on my face. After a moment of silence, she declared going to bed and went up the stairs. I wasn’t only hesitating now, I was rethinking the whole thing completely. The ball in my stomach grew bigger. Was John worth it? Losing Ron, Ginny and possibly Harry? I hadn't thought about that until now. It seemed much more logical to stay with Ron despite the arguing...
