a little bit o' firewhiskey
Who: Ginny and Ron
What: Checking in. (Kicking arse?)
Where: Ron's flat
When: early morning
Rating: Likely work safe

It took a lot of anxious hovering and about a million questions before mum accepted that, no, Ginny was not going to leave the Burrow and be immediately killed by a passing lunatic and, no, she was not going to step outside and promptly get into the kind of trouble that might end up making headlines.

Not at all.

When she finally convinced her that, really, she'd be fine, she was only going to visit Ron, no seriously, that's it, seriously, she ended up helping mum make about a dozen sandwiches for Ron. She even threw in a few packs of crisps. And when mum wasn't looking, she added the firewhiskey into the basket.

A few minutes and one Apparation later, she let herself into Ron's flat, immediately wrinkling her nose in disgust. She wasn't the neatest person in the world, but Merlin, didn't he ever clean?

"Ron, I'm here. It smells like unwashed male in here, so don't expect me to go looking. Come out if you want breakfast firewhiskey."

Ron glared at her, shaking his head. He had no idea why she was getting so miffed, not that he cared but still. It made him more angry, though he still was not sure why he was so angry or what he was even angry about. "No, Gin, I don't give a bloody shite what you felt for Harry, alright!" he blurted, banging his fist on the counter. That may have been pretty terrible of him to say but he didn't quite care. He didn't care about what anyone else felt just then and if there was anyone in the world that might know even an inkling of what he was currently feeling it was Hermione and he certainly wasn't going to burden her with any of his discomfort—she had enough of her own.

He took a steadying breath before saying, "I told you not to come."

For a long moment, she forced herself to say nothing, because if she did, it would likely end with her hexing Ron's stupid arse into or through the wall. She had just escaped getting in trouble for beating up Zacharias Smith, after all, and really, she had no desire to hurt Ron. Not right then, not when they were all so obviously hurting.

"Actually," she said in a voice that didn't sound very steady at all, "you said you didn't care if I came or not, so long as I brought firewhiskey. Which I did. And I'm not fucking Dean Thomas, I'm your sister, and you don't get to shut me out and drink yourself stupid, no matter what you bloody well think."

She was never very good at keeping calm in the face of anger.

"You want to drink? Well, it's my damn firewhiskey, so you're stuck with my company."

"Right, because you said that I couldn't tell you not to come, which is what I told you." Ron snatched the firewhisky from her and took a couple of swallows before continuing, "as for the rest of it, I can shut you out and I can drink myself stupid if I bloody well please. In fact, I've been doing a great job so far."

He knew that Ginny had a relationship with Harry and he knew that they were important to each other, but he still couldn't bring himself to talk to her about him. Well anyone really, but not Ginny either.

"Whatever, Ron."

Not the most adult response, but since when were siblings required to act mature around each other anyway? As far as she was concerned, that wasn't anywhere in the sibling contract, so Ron could just suck it up and deal. He'd probably whinge and complain regardless of what she did.

So yeah. Whatever.

"Going lush solitary is lame and dull." She wrenched the firewhiskey back out of his hand and took another drink. Percy would likely have fainted dead anyway by now, but propriety be damned.

Ron didn't have much to say to that. He knew it wasn't the smartest thing to do nor was it probably the best way to deal with his grief, but right now it felt like the only thing he wanted to do. He was sick and tired of everyone else telling him how he should or shouldn't feel right then or that they felt sorry for him or that they loved Harry too or any of that nonsense. In fact, he was just sick of talking about it altogether. No, he was sick of talking. Maybe that was the problem. He just didn't want to bloody talk at all. And everything just required too much sodding talking these days.

"Yeah well, it's better than talking," he replied lamely. So what if he was lame. At least he knew it. Ginny could very well stuff herself if she had a problem with that. "What did that ever accomplish?"

"So we won't talk."

She shrugged, poured the remaining firewhiskey into the two glasses they seemed to have abandoned. Might as well add last minute class to the affair and end the appearance of drinking each other's backwash.

"We'll sit here and drink and eat." She dug into the basket and tossed one of the packets of crisps at him. "Eat up."

If she went home with a slight buzz, well, she could sneak past mum. She had been doing that for years.

Ron raised an eyebrow at that. If there was one thing his sister was, it was not quiet, especially when wanted to speak her mind. Maybe she really was trying to give him space. He hadn't really expected it; not from Ginny at least.

"Well this is something I never thought I'd see. Ginny Weasley, keeping her big mouth shut for once." Ron said it with a bit of a smile on his face, which was not something he'd done in quite a few days. "Maybe you should think like that the next time you get the brilliant idea to go after someone like you did Smith." It's not like Ron had any room to talk; he was just as hot tempered as she was and if he wasn't in the state he was, he'd probably have done the same thing, but he was supposed to keep his sister from doing stupid things because she was, well, his sister. So he had difficulty saying any of it with a straight face.
