DEAN THOMAS!!!

[alt_ginny]

I'm so upset with you. You are so lucky I didn't ...

How could you say those things. Not be my friend if I don't...
If I see your face again today, I really will...

Friends don't speak such things about each other. I am not headstrong. And he shouldn't have told you about that. That was a breach of my privacy. How could you be so mean. And you were avoiding me? For him? I've known you longer...

Fine! I will show you what honour and loyalty mean. Don't let me see your face again today.

You all right then, Gin?

[alt_ginny]

No I am not. But I can't really say much. Other than Dean Thomas, thought to put me in my place. I thought I knew him better than that. I'm so peeved, I could hex him.

[alt_ron]

We're on our way out to the lake. The twins and me.

Want to come with?

[alt_ginny]

I think I rather stay where I am. I don't want to do something that would seem out of place. And if I pass him in the hall I shall do just that.

No its best if I stay put.

[alt_padma]

Dear oh dear. Breaking up so soon, Weaslette?

Not much for giving a bloke a chance, are you? You know, you might not want to be so quick to toss him aside. At the rate you and Ron are going, a half-blood may be the best you can get.

[alt_ginny]

Please, don't push me. Or make me laugh.
He is only like a brother to me. I could never see him like that. Ew.
What is wrong with that picture. Its enough to make a person go mental.

And I could never be with someone that could be so bold as to tell me what to do because he thinks I did something wrong. What does he know?

[alt_padma]

Oh? What did you do wrong then? or what did he think you did?

[alt_ginny]

Not to be rude, but I don't think that's anyone's concern.
Not even his. And it wasn't wrong.

[alt_ron]

Bludger off, Patil.

[alt_hydra]

I'm sorry that you and your friend had an argument.

From,
Hydra

[alt_ginny]

Thank you for your concern.

[alt_dean]

Come now Ginny, the reason I asked you to walk with me is so this incident could remain completely private. But in your fury, you have nearly aired your misdeeds for the entire protectorate to read and comment.

Be reasonable and take the advice given to you. You know what they think. You have a chance to change it, and I am even willing to lend you Bast to do so. But if you will not take action, I will have no choice but to cut you off completely.

You don't want to end up like Ron, with no friends that matter or have the slightest bit of influence. Don't follow his example and burn bridges.

Let me know when you come to your senses.

[alt_ron]

The people who matter are the people you can trust, Thomas. You'll find that out sometime. But do go on running after people who only keep you round if they think they can use you.

If Gin's got sense enough to tell you off, you can just leave her out of it.

[alt_dean]

Weasley,

I've got better things to do than to argue with you. My concern if for her to correct her ways before she has too many blemishes against her character.

You on the other hand there is no hope for, I wont waste me time or my ink.

I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good

[alt_ron]

You're the one's burned all his bridges with the people who'd have had your back, mate.

Re: I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good

[alt_pansy]

If he thinks those people he spends time with are his friends, he's got another thing coming to him.

And if he thinks your friends don't matter, well, he really doesn't know anything by half.

Re: I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good

[alt_ron]

Yeah, you're right about that. About friends.

Why's Sally Anne so cross at me?

I'm not the one who hexed somebody.

In the dark. At the top of the bleedin' Astronomy Tower where I could've got killed.

But she keeps taking up for Malfoy.

What gives?

I mean, really.

Really. What gives?

Private Message to Ron

[alt_pansy]

I think she's afraid of what really and truly crossing Harry could do to you.

I know I am.

When those Aurors did what they did to you? I never want that to happen again. And that was when you were trying to be Harry's friend.

I even begged Padma Patil to stop when she was joking about you being black luck to Harry after, and that certainly wasn't fun to do.

And it's not like Harry himself is the one you have to worry about, it's all of the Aurors and our Lord Protector and I could go on and on about what might go wrong.

So I think she's scared for you, about how dangerous it could be. And one reason is because she's halfblooded. So she's used to thinking about the worst thing that could happen, and worrying about it.

You know what her Boggart was? Her dad saying that she wasn't his daughter. Which would make her a mudblood, like Hermione and Terry. And she worries all the time about taking the wrong step and ending up with her wand snapped and expelled from school because that's something that could actually happen to her. So she takes things a lot more serious, is all, and she can get angry sometimes when other people don't see it the same way.

So she wants you to be careful. Because she cares about you.

And I care about you too, you know.

It's not just that, of course, but I think that it's a big part of why she's been so snappish at you this week.
