Rivalry - Ron Weasley X Reader

~4~

George's POV

In the morning, I got everyone up, but Hermione of course, and we sprinted down to the infirmary after realizing that the news probably spread about (Y/N), and a ton of guys would be there.

I opened the door and Fred, Ron, and Harry ran in. "(Y/N)!" Ron shouted excitedly as she shot up in bed and started bouncing up and down like she couldn't help it. He attack hugged her and held on tight, obvious, much? "R-Ron... Can't - Breathe!" He let her go awkwardly and she gasped for air.

Harry looked at her excitedly, "Come on, then, get ready, Hogsmeade awaits!" Fred and I picked her up off the bed and we all followed her out the door and down to the Gryffindor common room. We all got dressed properly, not just in night clothes anymore, and met at the entrance... Well, it's also the only exit.

Ron had Scabbers on his shoulder, and of course, Lucifer was on (Y/N)'s. Hermione had bailed on us because she had "something to deal with", but at least it was one less person to pay for, no offense.

*Time skip to Hogsmeade*

The streets were bustling with students and strangers, and (Y/N) was pulling Fred and I into Three Broomsticks by our hands, with Harry and Ron close behind. She stopped quickly and made a noise like an excited puppy.

She stared at us like we were idiots, "Well, get me a firewhisky!" We swaggered over to the bar and bought her a firewhisky to give to Malfoy. Harry couldn't stop giggling and Ron just stayed silent. He obviously fancies her, she must be pretty oblivious to not notice.

I grabbed the drink out of Fred's hand and handed it to her, motioning over to Malfoy's table. "Want me to say anything?" Fred smirked and shook his head, "Nope, just smile at him, set it down, and wave at him on the way back!" She didn't look very upset for some reason, I know for a fact that he annoys her. "Go on, then!" Harry nudged her.

She slowly made her way to the back corner, where Crabbe, Goyle, Draco, and a few Slytherin Quidditch players were sitting. One of them noticed her and grabbed Malfoy's head and turned it towards her. He obviously looked her up and down as she set the firewhisky in front of him. Half way back to us, she spun around and waved at him.

Ron's POV

Bloody hell! Fred knows I fancy her, why did he make her do this?!

"What's wrong?" (Y/N) looked at me worriedly as she turned to face us again. "I'm fine, it's nothing." I lied with a reassuring smile. Malfoy was still turned around in his seat gawk-smirking at her, I don't really know how to describe it. I wanna punch him in his smug little face so bad, but I'd probably get expelled.

"Okay...? Well, what do you wanna do now?!" She went from confused to excited so quickly, she wasn't like this when we first got to Hogwarts. Now she's all bubbly and bouncy... Literally.

"Out! Out! Out!" Harry started shoving all four of us out the door at once. "What the- Harry!" I sputtered. "Malfoy started to get up, if I'm right, he's gonna come looking for the girl that gave him that firewhisky." "We got this!" Fred and George said in sync, they always manage to do that, maybe the whole 'twin-mind-power' thing isn't so wrong after all.

They stepped in front of the door just as Malfoy ran out, and he bumped into them. I ran backwards so I could see what happened. They picked him up by the arms and put him back inside, after that, they ran out and caught up to us.

*Time skip to later on at Hogsmeade*

Fred's POV

After we went to a few more stores, this girl with black hair, gray eyes, and insanely pale skin walked up to (Y/N) and shoved her into a wall. The girl started yelling about how (Y/N) was a filthy mudblood and needed to stay away from her brother. We were all frozen in shock, but everyone flinched as she threw a punch at (Y/N)'s head. But... She missed.

(Y/N) covered her face and tried to duck, but she shrunk. We all saw it in perfect detail, in a haze of white fur, she shrunk to the ground. Of course, Ron was the first to scream, "You're an Animagus!" The little white mouse on the ground scurried away into the crowd, the girl backing away confusedly.

"Come on!" Harry yelled, running after her. We immediately followed. All I could think was:

She's an Animagus?!

How?!

When?!

Can she control it?!

HOW?!

And then I got distracted by a bagel shop and George hit me upside the head to get me to run again. Watching little mouse-(Y/N) run was like a flea trying to avoid the feet of stampeding elephants. She was constantly jumping, and stopping, and then running again.

We were shoving people out of the way and hopping over people's feet in an attempt to not trip, but we stumbled a lot. Eventually, the mouse ran into the cracked door of Honeyduke's. Did I mention that Scabbers and Lucifer were chasing her, too?

Harry lugged open the door and we immediately saw (Y/N), back to normal, sitting in the fetal position in the corner, almost completely surrounded by people trying to help her. When she saw us, straight away, she shot up, ran to Ron, who was closest to her, and clung to him for dear life.

She broke down crying in his arms and buried her face in his shoulder. All the people were staring at us. Ron started rubbing her back soothingly, and Harry and I walked them outside while George bought her a box of chocolate cauldrons as an, 'I-really-don't-know-whats-wrong-but-I-hope-these-help' present.

George's POV

I went outside and awkwardly stood with everyone holding (Y/N)'s box of chocolate cauldrons. It was really depressing watching her cry into Ron's shoulder. She refused to let him go, and you could tell that he both felt bad for her, and was glad that she was hugging him for so long.

We decided to take her back to Hogwarts, and only on the trolley back did she loosen her grip on Ron a little, and I mean barely. We kept trying to calm her down but it didn't work.

"Hey, it's okay, everything's going to be fine."

"I bought you some chocolates!"

"It's... It's okay. Please don't cry."

"We can all talk about it when we get back to Hogwarts."

"I'll buy you whatever you want the next time we go to Hogsmeade!"

Eventually, everyone gave up and we just sat back and looked at her apologetically. Ron rested his head on top of (Y/N)'s, never thought I'd say this, but they look pretty cute together.
