Noon
Hermione was dreading lunch. Ron had missed breakfast, but it was highly unlikely that he would ever miss two meals in a row. He knew. Knew what, exactly? Not that it mattered what she called it. He had seen them with his own eyes, which meant that he would call it whatever he thought it was.
'Disgusting,' had been one of his choicest words. Ron thought that she was disgusting. And that she had made his sister disgusting, too, or so she imagined. Not that it mattered who had done what to who. They had both done plenty. Part of her still wished that they could do more.
But a more insistent part of her (the one that often spoke in the voice of Professor McGonagall) knew that they could never keep it to themselves anymore, not once Ron knew about it. The only thing for it was to cut and run, and hope that all of their friendships made it through in tact.
She considered skipping lunch altogether, but she had an Arithmancy test later that day, and her fear of confronting her Weasleys was outweighed only by her need for proper nutrition before an exam.
She pasted on her broadest smile and headed down the stairs into the Gryffindor common room, where she was immediately greeted by Harry. Relief flooded her as she looked around the room and saw no red hair in sight, excepting a small ginger lock that Fred had pinned inexplicably to the notice board with a sign saying 'Do Not Touch - for your own sake".
Harry, anticipating her concern, spoke again. " Ron had a, erm, a bit of a long night, I think he might be sleeping through lunch today as well as breakfast."
"Oh." Hermione was unsure of what to say. Despite her relief, she couldn't help but feel the weight behind Harry's words. "Right, well, shall we go down, then?"
Ten quiet minutes later found them sitting at the Gryffindor table. Hermione cracked a large tome open against her goblet and tried to lose herself in Ancient Runes while Harry worked his way through two rounds of kippers. She was just pondering the dual nature of the Contingere Rune when her body was alerted to the gentle brush of robes and long hair along her right side.
"Hello all!" Ginny sat down loudly and brightly. She pulled a plate and a goblet towards herself, leaning heavily across Hermione as she reached for the juice carafe. Hermione stiffened at the other girl's touch and inhaled deeply.
Ginny's shameless confidence was astounding to her. Her scent was intoxicating. She smelled like peonies and mahogany and clean linen. Ginny's arm lingered just a little longer than necessary against Hermione's chest, and by the time she pulled it away Hermione found her attention shifted entirely onto the well-toned body beside hers.
As usual, Ginny didn't miss a beat. She carried on chatting and preparing her plate; asking Parvati about a new bangle, discussing tactics with Angelina. Hermione's eyes were still pointed at her book, but her thoughts were consumed by what she and Ginny might have been doing if they were alone somewhere together.
Almost as if she could hear her thoughts, Ginny set down her goblet and dropped her left hand casually under the table and onto Hermione's bare thigh, just below the hem of her skirt. The contact hit Hermione like lightening and she found her focus narrowed entirely to the subtle motions of Ginny's fingertips - until a very different presence made itself known.
Ron slouched down onto the bench across from Harry, Hermione, and Ginny, dropping his bookbag noisily onto the floor as he did.
"Good morning mate, glad you made it down after all," said Harry in a gallant attempt at camradery, although it was clear that the air had just gone out of the room. "Dunno what's good about it," Ron replied, shooting a scathing glance at Ginny while avoiding Hermione's place at the table entirely. "Pass me the kippers, would you Harry? I'm starving."
Harry obliged, and Ron loaded up his plate before handing it back towards Harry. "Pass it here," called Ginny, and Harry retracted his hand, forcing Ron to pass the plate to his sister. "Didn't you get enough to eat last night?" Ron spat at her, "And besides, I didn't think you liked sausage."
At last his gaze slid covertly over to Hermione, who was staring resolvedly at her book while blushing furiously. Ginny, on the other hand, retorted pluckily, "Well you see that's the thing about eating Ron, you've got to do it over and over again. I'm practically insatiable, I can never get enough - especially of what I had last night. But you're right, sausage is hardly a good meal - look, Hermione's not taken any kippers either."
"I have go, I have to study for Arithmancy," Hermione sprang upward, leaving the table in such a hurry that she left her book of Runes lying beside her plate, and was shamefacedly preparing to return for it when Harry came sprinting after her, tome in hand. "Er, you forgot this Hermione, I thought you might need it."
"Thank you Harry; really, thanks." Hermione's gratitude was apparent. "Ginny was going to bring it to you, but I thought it might be best if I did."
"How fortunate that you're the only person in the school with faster reflexes than she has," Hermione replied with a small smile.
"Honestly, I think hers might be faster than mine, but I had more motivation this time."
