Sorry guys, but can't stand it when Hermione is called 'Mione'! So this is another one of those fics - all dialogue, nice and quick!

That of Nicknames

"Your name is quite long, y'know?"
"Long as opposed to what?"
"Well, Harry, Luna, Dean…"
"And do you have a problem with my name being slightly longer than the three that you have mentioned?"
"Hey! You know that there are more than three. Ginny's is short! And so is mine!"
"Yes, but your name is shortened from Ronald and Ginny is short for Ginerva."
"That's what I'm getting at – you need a nickname."
"Why on earth would I need one of those?"
"Hermione's a bit formal don't you think? And it's hard to say."
"I was under the impression that anyone above the age of three would have no difficulty pronouncing my name."
"Oi!"
"…."
"How about 'Mione?"
"I don't think so."
"Mines?"
"Definitely not."
"Hermy?"
"No."
"Yeah, I think 'Mione is my favourite."
"Is that so, Ronnie?"
"Hmm?"
"Everything alright, Ronniekins?"
"What did you just say?"
"Oh nothing, Ronald.
"…"
"…"
"So, Hermione, what book are you reading?"
"Funny you should ask, Ron…"
