"Stop nagging me Hermione!"

"I'm not nagging, Ron! If you did your homework on time instead of blowing it off to play quidditch then you wouldn't have to stay up the night before to finish it!"

"Oh quit being such a bloody know-it-all!"

"Don't swear!"

On the stairs behind the arguing friends, a red-head girl approached a boy with messy black hair.

"What are you looking at Harry?" she questioned.

"Huh? Oh, hey Gin. Ron and Hermione are at it again," Harry responded.

"Hmm. I wonder if this is going to be THE argument," Ginny pondered.

"What do you mean by THE argument?"

"I mean the one that will either tear the Golden Trio apart, or will end in wedding bells for those two."

Harry just stared at her. "I'm being sarcastic." Ginny sighed.

"Oh."

As Harry and Ginny talked, the argument below continued.

"Why don't you go back to you're precious Viktor!" Ron looked like he had steam coming out of his ears.

"That's it. I'm sick of this. All we do is fight."

"That and taking on Death Eaters and Snape with Harry."

Hermione cracked a small smile. "I really am tired of fighting so much. We're friends," she said.

"I know."

Awkward silence followed.

"I'm sorry for acting like a prat." Ron whispered, effectively breaking the tension.

"I'm sorry too."

"Truce?" Ron held out his hand.

"Not like that." Hermione pulled him into a hug instead.

Ginny came down the stairs and joined the hug with an emphatic "Alas, a cornucopia of love!"

She walked off, leaving Ron and Hermione utterly confused and Harry completely hysterical.
