Ginny walked down the stairs and found Ron laid unconscious on the floor of the boys steps with a cut lip, a missing tooth and a black eye and in nothing but pink boxers. She looked at the twins who were looking rather amused alongside Seamus and Dean.
"Harry?" She asked
"Harry" They nodded, Ginny could have sworn she saw Ron twitch when they said Harry
"He said he'll meet you in the great hall but first he, Neville and our beloved 'head boy' Percy went to explain everything to McGonagall" Seamus added "we'd go too but we figure you two could enjoy some time alone and someone needs to watch sleeping beauty over there"
"Also we wanted to see the girl's reactions to Ron" George added
"We're betting to see if Hermione starts crying then complains to McGonagall" Fred smirked
"Go on" Dean insisted "we'll make sure he gets medical attention"
"If you must" Ginny shrugged
"You know" Dean spoke once she left "if she didn't have six brothers and was in love with Harry, I'd probably ask her out"
"Be thankful you haven't" George smiled evilly
"Because if you had" Fred matched the smile
"hurt her"
"And you probably would"
"Seeing as you're a bit"
"of a prat"
"Then we would have to hurt you"
"And once we were done"
"We'd let the others have a turn"
"And that would all be after she was finished with you" Dean gulped while Seamus snickered at his reaction.
Ginny sat in the hall waiting for Harry, eventually he showed up and the two were having breakfast as if nothing had even happened. But eventually Ginny brought it up, she rather like to know what happened.
"Ron?" She said
"Ron" Harry replied and nothing more was said on that part of subject, she knew Harry despite wanting to would never hurt someone without a reason. And Ron being Ron was probably angry over what happened with Hermione.
"How'd you get away with going so overboard?" she asked
"First of all you know that's not overboard for me" Harry smiled "so does McGonagall, the others vouched that Ron attacked me first so I've got the self-defence excuse plus I used the 'it was so fast' and 'I didn't even know what happened because I was hyped on adrenaline' excuse. That seemed good enough for the Percy so it was good enough for the professor" Soon Hermione and a few other girls rushed up to Harry
"Why'd you do that to him?!" She demanded "why'd you have to hurt him so bad?"
"Self-defence" Harry answered in a robotic voice "it was so fast, I don't even know what happened because I was hyped on adrenaline" If Ginny wasn't such a good actor then she'd have burst out laughing
"Please don't give me that rubbish" Hermione roared and the others agreed
"Have you lot ever been in a fight?" Harry asked "and I don't mean a duel I mean an actual hand to hand fight" The girls shook their head
"Of course I haven't" Hermione spoke as if the insulation was an insult
"Then you have no idea what happens to you when you're in a fight" Harry spoke as if he was addressing children. "In a fight you don't stop until you're forced to stop or if your opponent can't fight anymore"
"Then why was Ron missing a tooth?" she asked
"Because I punched him"
"Why did he have a black eye?"
"I punched him twice"
"Why was his lip cut?"
"Probably from when his face crashed into my bedpost"
"Why was he nearly completely naked?"
"He's…not ashamed of his body?" Harry guessed "I don't know why he sleeps with barley anything on besides I don't know why you're complaining, I'm the one who had to clean the blood off my bedpost and I missed my morning workout…oh yeah and my girlfriends brother attacked me while he was nearly naked in my bedroom. Besides why do you care? Or is Ron actually your boyfriend?" Hermione blushed as the girls behind her began gossiping, she turned on Ginny.
"What about you?" She asked "he puts your brother in the hospital wing and you're still taking his side?"
"Listen up Granger" Ginny calmly replied "I know Harry better than I know Ron, I know he would never initiate an attack and I know he would never do any more than a person deserves. And sadly I do know Ron as well and I know that he had probably done something the night before, no doubt out of anger because you got in trouble, I'm going to assume it didn't work and that's why he attacked Harry"
"Right in one" Harry commented
"Thank you sweetie" She said before continuing "Harry's dorm mates and the twins all said that Ron attacked Harry, I think if he's stupid enough to attack Harry then he should consider himself fortunate that he's still breathing. Percy came up to me today and actually told me to thank Harry for not hurting him too much and how he's ashamed of what Ron has done. Him and the twins are writing a letter to mum"
"Along with McGonagall" Harry added
