The next day Ron carried on sulking He had finally unpacked his entire luggage; however it all lay bundled up in one big messy pile on the floor. Some of his clothes were in the wardrobe but some still lay flopped over the side of his trunk.

Fred, Ginny and George had all properly unpacked, and now they had gone off to do other things to keep them occupied.

He wouldn't talk to anyone, and only when he had to he would mumble a few words or stare blankly at the wall for a few moments. Mrs. Weasley was starting to get very worried but annoyed at the same time. It was the first weekend at home, a day before Harry's stay at the Burrow and the hot sun blazed down on Fred and Ginny who were pracsticing Quiditch outside, while Ron was half writing a letter, once again he was shut up in his room.

However this letter wasn't to Harry. He was writing to Hermione in Australia but at the same time he wasn't sure if this was a good idea, although either way he didn't know why.

When breakfast was finally ready and Mrs. Weasley called him downstairs, he washed the tiredness off his face and took a long shower. She got very annoyed but all the same she didn't say anything; his letter lying on his small desk...unfinished and half started; the quill lying next to it.

----------

It was now dinner time and they were all talking; except for Ron.

"Now," said Mrs. Weasley "How shall we bring Harry here for his stay?"

"We could use the car again," A wide grin spread across George's face.

"We could fly on broomsticks again!" Fred said with excitement in his voice.

"But all of those went wrong," Ginny pointed out.

"Hey! Don't ruin the fun Ginny!" Fred and George said together.

"Hmmm I don't think the Dursleys have forgiven me for when we used floo powder…"Mused Mr. Weasley as Fred and George started reminiscing about what they did to poor Dudley when his tongue went purple in Harry's third year. That option was off the list.

Ron still didn't say anything as they all went quiet and this was when Mrs. Weasley finally lost control. "Ronald Weasley! What on Earth is the matter with you?! For Merlin's sake you are driving me completely mad!

It was so out of the blue that Ron almost fell off his chair. "Well? What do you have to say for yourself?" She yelled eyebrows raised and lips pursed so she looked like a lunatic. There was a long silence in which Ginny glared at Ron very hard, Mr. Weasley looked absolutely petrified and the twins' forks made a loud clatter as they fell to the floor.

The clatter broke the silence and Mr. Weasley jumped out of his chair and startled Ginny. Ron however, scrambled to his feet and stood up. "Bloody hell mum!" were the first words he had spoken in ages and not to mention his usual catchphrase. "Can't have been that bad…"

Everyone gave him the shameful sarcastic look that was basically saying "Oh don't give us that."

"Well you didn't have to surprise me like that" His tone was now quieter than before. Mrs. Weasley took in a deep breath and started shouting again "Number 1, How dare you speak to your mother like that especially when you're in the wrong because it is unacceptable behavior?! And number 2, you have been doing this since the first week back and, if not everyone, you are driving me raving bonkers! In fact Ginny tells me you have been at this for 2-3 weeks or something."

It was now Ron's turn to glare at Ginny who went the same colour red as her own hair. After a moments silence Mrs Weasely started speaking again clearly trying to keep her voice steady. "Now you have three options. You either tell us what on Earth's going on, start acting normal and pretend this never happened or you can talk to me in privet if it's that serious." She calmed down and her facial expression suddenly changed.

"Look Ron, dear, I'm very worried about you. You're not saying a word to anyone, you're not sleeping and it really doesn't look like you've touched your food; please just… don't do this to yourself, you'll become ill.

"Yeah and what will you do when Harry gets here?" said Ginny, "You can't just ignore him it would be…well…weird" She said confusion in her voice, "Not to mention rude".

"Ummm well couldn't you guys talk to him?" He replied knowing this was not the cleverest thing to say out loud.

"We'll be looking after the shop," Fred stated.

"Yeah we do have a life you know," George added, but then saw his mum looking at him "Not that Harry Potter isn't great but…we have the shop" He murmured not knowing what else to say.

"I would never know how to start a conversation with him" Ginny blushed slightly.

"Ron we're not getting anywhere at this rate, and the point is that you either tell us or stop ruining life for the family." There was a short pause. Ok Ron think quickly ummm "Well I just hate it that every year…when we go back to school there always seems to be someone…who makes fun of our money situations. I just wish that this year well you know; I wish we could have at least a few galleons in the bank so that we would be able to buy something without having to worry about how much it cost, and not having to wear the same hand-me-downs every year...err yeah that's all really." He quickly finished before he got too much immersed into the situation.

Whoa! That's the quickest I've ever thought! He congratulated him-self proudly inside his head while they were all considering what he just said.

"Well once the shop starts to sell we'll have more galleons than ever!" Fred and George said together.

"Oh it's ok sweetheart," Mrs. Weasley sighed out of relief and pulled him into a tight hug. "Are you sure that's all?" He nodded and she comforted him. "Don't you worry dear we will start earning galleons and galleons someday." And she kissed him on the forehead.

He breathed in his mothers' flowery perfume and relaxed. At least he would not have the burden of them pestering and nagging and shouting at him now. But he still knew inside that he would have to try to act normal and this would turn out to be very hard indeed.

However one person was very sure that he was not telling the truth and this happened to be Ginny. She locked eyes with Ron over the back of Mrs. Weasley's shoulder and they stared very hard at each other for only a few seconds while he was hugging his mother but when Ginny narrowed her eyes he averted his gaze.

She could tell by the way Ron was putting on a 'brave face' that he was still not happy at all and it was not quite as brave as he thought. The way he seemed relieved yet sad at the same time made her wonder what the real reason could possibly be. Because of this she sat there quietly thinking while the rest of the family, even Fred and George, were awkwardly fussing over him in a brotherly fashion.

Now I've got to keep this hidden from Harry. He can't know its too weird. Ron sighed at the thought.
