"Well, I could've seen that coming." Jacks laughed in Bulgarian. Krum let go of her hands, and put them on the sides of Jacks face. He gently pulled her into a kiss.
Ron was watching. When he saw them kiss, his anger boiled above the line.
"That tears it." He snarled. He drove his broom in the direction of the two
"Well, I definitely didn't see that coming. "Jacks whispered in English, when she and Krum broke apart from the kiss. Ron landed right next to them.
"Okay, what's going on between you two!?" Ron yelled his face bright scarlet. Krum was about to answer when, Jacks stepped in front of him.
"Ron, Krum and I are boyfriend and girlfriend." She said.
"We are dancing in ceremony this summer." Krum said. Ron looked very confused.
"You asked him to dance with you in the Growing up ceremony? I thought you were going to ask me!" Ron yelled.
"Where did you get that idea?" Jacks asked. Ron looked up to where Allysa was hovering.
"Ah, now I understand. I was going to ask you to dance, but in the double dance, not the romantic dance." Harry landed next to them, looking confused.
"What's going on?" Harry asked slowly. He looked warily from Jacks, to Ron, who was slightly less red and then to Krum.
"Hallo, Harry." Krum said cheerfully.
"Um... Hi. So what's this about your Growing-up ceremony, Jacks?"
"What has Allysa been telling you?" Jacks asked staring up at her sister flying around the Quidditch pitch.
"She said you were going to ask Ron to dance with you, and ask Malfoy to dance with you in the Double Dance."
"Me ask Malfoy to dance? He can barley sing “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star,” let alone dance! Where would she get that idea?" Jacks said laughing.
"We are still dancing in ceremony?" Krum asked.
"Yes." Jacks said. "And I love you too." She added in Bulgarian. Harry and Ron exchanged looks of confusion.
"Hey! Can we come down now?!" Fred yelled from the Quidditch pitch.
"Is it okay if the Griffendor Quidditch team fawns over you for a while?" Jacks asked Krum.
"Ya, it's okay." Krum said. Jacks waved for the Griffendors to come down. The Slytherians made to come down too, but Jacks yelled at them to stay put.
"Jacks, can I talk to you for a second?" Ron asked. Krum gave Ron a questioning look, but Ron was not looking.
"Sure." Jacks said, meeting Krum's eyes before she walked off.
"Why didn't you tell me you and Krum were going out?"
"In front of Hermione? Ron, I'm not that stupid!"
"Okay, don't bite my head off. Why didn't you tell Hermione?"
"I didn't know if she knew. Victor said he'd tell her, but I'm not sure if he did. I don't want to spring it on her, so I kept my mouth shut. You know those letters that you couldn't read?"
Yea, the chicken scratch."
"Those were written in Bulgarian. They were all from Krum."
"So, how long have you been ‘together’?"
"Since the end of term Fifth year." Ron winced. "I'm sorry I didn't tell you then, but Krum and Hermione were still like 'together,' so I kept my mouth shut."
"You know what Jacks? I think you should stop keeping your mouth shut. Every time you do it... it hurts people!" Jacks looked at Ron with tears in her eyes. She turned on her heel and ran up to Griffendor tower. Krum had fought his way through the crowd of students over to Ron.
"Did Jazz leaves already?" He asked Ron.
"Yea." Ron said halfheartedly.
"Oh." Krum replied, looking disheartened. Ron picked up his broom, and walked up to the Griffendor tower.
"Ron!" Harry caught up to him. "Where'd Jacks go?"
"She went back up to the Griffendor Tower." Ron hissed through gritted teeth.
"Are you okay?"
"NO I'm NOT okay! I thought She like ME and now she... She." Ron yelled, losing his steam halfway through. Ron turned on his heel, and made his way to the Griffendor common room. When he got up the common room, Jacks was talking to Hermione, who was finishing up some homework. Jacks leaned back on the couch, hands behind her head.
“Hey Ron. Hey Harry.” Hermione said, cheerfully as they walked over to her. “Ron, is something wrong?”
“Nothing. Just got my heart ripped out, is all.” He growled through clenched teeth. “I’m going to bed. Night.” He stalked up to his room, and threw himself into bed, not bothering to change clothes.
“What’s up with him?” Hermione asked, watching Ron go up to his room.
“That would be my fault.” Jacks sighed, resting her hands in her lap. “I got a visitor today and he wasn’t expecting to see me and my visitor; together.”
“I see.” Hermione nodded.
“Am I not getting this because I’m not a girl?” Harry asked.
“I’m afraid so Mr. Potter.” Jacks laughed.
Fin.
