After many visits from friends and family (with an Owl from Bill and Charlie) Ron had been told, he could get back into school life. He was happy about this, sort of. He hadn't seen Hermione for days, and still felt bad about what had happened exactly four days ago. He wanted to see her, but at the same time was anxious of ruining their conversation again.
Two days before he was due to leave the hospital, he woke up to find a book on the chair next to his bed. It was large, like a sketch book. Ron opened it and found the words:
Hermione Jean Granger
Harry James Potter
And
Ronald Bilius Weasley
Present
Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardy
1997 –
The words were flashing with different colours. Ron turned the next page to find a note tucked into the paper:
Ron, I came when you were sleeping. I think this could help you remember. Don't laugh. I look awful in most of the pictures. H.G.
Ron read the title of the first page, (Year 1) it was full of pictures of an obviously younger Ron. He smiled at the picture of Harry, who was giving the camera thumbs up. Hermione in the background was laughing. The next page held more of the same, so was page three. The fourth year was the best. It had two pages devoted to it. One of the pages had "Yule Ball" written in gold letters on the top. In the pictures Ron was wearing what looked like a badly made dress with a frayed neck. Harry looked quite good in his green robes and Hermione looked amazing in a stunning pale blue dress. Ron took a deep breath as he stared at the picture on the next page. It was the three of them sat on a grassy bank laughing. Harry looked pleased as though he had cracked a funny joke, Ron was laughing and Hermione was rolling around on the floor. Ron sighed and put down the scrap book.
