WHO: Ron Weasley and Ginny Weasley
WHEN: Wednesday afternoon, after quidditch practise
WHERE: The Pitch? On the way back to the school maybe?
SUMMARY: Ron and Ginny need some sibling bonding time.
RATING: PG?
STATUS: Complete

Quidditch had been brutal lately and as much as Ron complained about Harry's "Constant Vigilance" obsession, the team was playing better than they ever had. He'd noticed Ginny had gotten extremely good in the past year or so, improving so much from when they used to play on the grounds of the Burrow. He remembered her once mentioning she'd like to play Quidditch as a career and now he defintely thought it was possible (unlike his farfetched dream of playing for the Cannons).

It had been a while since him and Ginny had spent any time together. He missed when they were the only ones who hadn't started Hogwarts and it was just them at home. That had been the time when they'd been the closest. He still considered himself to be closer to her than any of his other siblings.

"Good practise, Gin." He called over to her as they landed from practise. "Brutal, but good."

Ginny climbed off her broom when they reached the door. She could break down Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw, their strengths, their weaknesses, player by player, position by position...all of it, all of her opinions, Harry's opinions, the discussions they had. But at the moment?

Ginny Weasley did not want to talk Quidditch. For once. Something inside of her was pounding with a furious hurt, she couldn't think about the game because it made her think of whatever injury was going on under her skin.

She nodded at Ron. "Absolutely bloody agreed." Tucking her broom under her arm, she rubbed at her eyes. "There are cookies? I didn't get cookies," she said with a touch of a sulk.

"Right, er, I was supposed to share them with you. Didn't quite make it that far." He said with a sheepish grin, rubbing the back of his neck and looking over at her. "Kind of ate most of them when the owl arrived. But there are still some left!" He added in to make sure she knew he'd give her some.

Ron was really starting to feel the cold and was glad when they reached the castle doors. "Thank Merlin." He mumbled stepping inside and into the warmth.

"So, how are you, Gin?" He asked sincerely.

	"Tired," she admitted with a small grin, heading up towards Gryffindor Tower. "But otherwise...okay. Things are a bit--I don't know, like the calm before the storm I suppose. Just waiting for the holiday to finally arrive," she said with a sigh. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Ron nodded. "I know. I feel like Christmas is taking forever to get here." He grumbled slightly at that, everyone knowing that Christmas was Ron's favourite holiday. He really lit up at Christmas. There was nothing he liked more (except maybe snogging Hermione).

"I've still got to think of what to get everyone. Hermione especially. Topping that locket is going to be murder."

Ginny absently touched the diamond around her neck; she always hexed it into place before playing, and she lifted her wand to release the spell, letting it fall back into its natural dangle. "Don't think of it as 'topping.' I mean, if I did that, then I should expect some serious jewelry for the holiday," she said with a rueful smile as they climbed the stairs. "Just more of...what does she want? What does she need? Get her something that will make her completely happy, no matter if it's flashy or overtly romantic like the locket."

"She doesn't need anything because she's Hermione and Hermione always has everything she needs." ron mumbled, running a hand through his hair. Shopping for Hermione was not easy when it wasn't books he was getting her and he was not going to resort to a book. It wasn't good enough to just give her a book anymore.

"What if I got her an unbreakable quill and everlasting ink? Or a quill that automatically underlines important points or something." He thought of it and then he thought it sounded ridiculous. "Maybe not."

"A really nice quill costs a lot of galleons," Ginny pointed out, "it's a really nice gift. And for someone like Mione, who writes all the time? It's incredibly thoughtful." A part of Ginny sighed; Ron had been so insecure for so long about getting together with Hermione--she had hoped that he would now have confidence about her...but he still seemed unsure and hesitant. She gave him an encouraging smile; it would come in time, it would. Or else she'd hex confidence into him.

"Yeah?" He asked, raising his eyebrows in surprise. He thought it was a rubbish gift. Wasn't he supposed to be all romantic with gifts now? Was a quill romantic? He didn't think it was. "That's what I thought." He told her, rubbing his nose. "But that's not romantic, is it? Doesn't Hermione want romantic?" He shrugged, confused by it all. "Bah, I'm rubbish at this."

"Ron? Harry could buy jewelry all the time, which is lovely," she said patiently, her body screaming in pain as they kept climbing the stairs. Just a few flights more. "But I'd love...one of those Quidditch books, that goes over history or strategy, the huge thick hardcovers. It's what I'm passionate about, it's what I love, it's a gift that shows that Harry knows me and what matters to me," she explained. "I love this necklace so much, it's gorgeous and romantic--" and incredibly expensive "--but that book? Is also sweet and thoughtful, and therefore really romantic, too."

"Is that how you girls think?" Ron asked, suddenly kind of, just slightly understanding the female mind a bit better. He'd still never understand girls but at least he was learning bit my bit, yeah? He wasn't complete rubbish anymore... just slightly.

"So you're saying if I got Hermione a scrap of tissue but it had meaning behind it it'd still be romantic even though it was rubbish?"

Hesitating, Ginny explained, "That would depend on if the tissue had special significance, yes. If you once dried her tears with a tissue and that led to your first snog...sure. Now, if you buy something cheap and meaningless and then try to talk it into something special buy weaving a load of bunk around it? That's obnoxious," she said darkly, thinking of a certain previous boyfriend of hers as they stopped in front of the portrait of the Fat Lady. "Girls know when they're getting the shite end of a guy's laziness."

	"Right... makes sense I guess. Unfortunately I haven't dried any of Hermione's tears with any tissues. I think I'll go with the quill thing, thanks, Gin." He said as he told the Fat Lady the password and let the portrait swing open. He waited for Ginny to go in before he did himself. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Using her broom as a crutch, Ginny climbed in to the portrait, groaning despite herself. She made a mental note to get her revenge on Euan in the next practise; for now, all she could think of was getting those cookies. "You're welcome," she told him. Ginny paused. "I can't believe you hoarded the cookies, wanker." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Ron shrugged, grinning at her slightly. "Eh, sorry." He said. "You know how I am with food. I've got 'em upstairs if you want them now." He said, pointing up towards the dorms and trying to remember how many he had left. Probably 6 or 7. He moved towards the stairs, pushing through the pain of his sore muscles. "Coming?" He asked, turning back and looking at her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"No, Ronald, I was going to stand here and let you keep them all," Ginny said sarcastically, following him up. Seriously, Ron. Brothers. (Reply to this)(Parent)
