While in the car, Harry and Hermione continued to chat as though they're the only ones there in the car. Harry simply remembered that Ron's father is definitely closer to Hermione's parents. Unlike Mr. Arthur, the Dursleys never knew the Grangers.

Their trip to London is only minutes away and Harry's head somewhat fell over Hermione's right shoulder. It was due to his early arousal that morning. Hermione noticed Harry but she didn't do anything. She knew that Harry did not get enough sleep last night.

Minutes passed…

"Harry…"

Harry opened his eyes and can barely see Hermione's face.

"Here are your glasses Harry, it fell while you were sleeping."

"umm…thanks, hang on…did I sleep over your shoulder?"

"C'mon Harry it didn't really matter to me. Let's go"

"We'll just pick you up right before lunch!" exclaimed Mr. Granger while Hermione and Harry were both going outside the car.

"Thank you very much Mr. and Mrs. Granger."

They both waved their "see you later good byes".

Harry and Hermione are on their way to Diagon Alley. The Diagon Alley looks the same as it was when Harry first saw it in his first year at Hogwarts. It was quite noisy. There are lots of people strolling around, here and there.

"By the way Harry, I already bought my dress robes for this year. I'll just accompany you to Madam Malkin's and then…"

There was a pause between Harry and Hermione when they saw a glimpse of an elevated boy who was gazing at the two of them as though he was envious to see them. It was none other than their friend, Ronald Weasley.

"Ron!" shrieked Harry but the towering boy just looked away.

Harry and Hermione followed Ron at once. Harry held Hermione's left hand without any hesitations.

Harry bumped into an old lady.

"I'm really sorry...excuse me...sorry"

At last, they saw Ron face to face, they were both panting.

"We really need to talk Ron, we can solve this problem, and the three of us can work this out if you tell us why you're acting like that."

Ron spotted that they're holding each other's hands.

"Oh yeah! It's not worth saying why, you can't understand."

Ron was still very upset about the closeness of Harry and Hermione.

"Please Ron" begged Harry.

"Why didn't you tell me that you were going here? Ain't I your friend too? Is Hermione your only friend? And give me a good reason, why you two didn't even write some letters to me."

Both Harry Hermione were completely bewildered about what they've just heard from Ron's mouth.

"What?"

"You heard me!"

Ron's face looked as though it cannot be painted even by the professional painter.

"Ron listen to me, we're just totally shocked from what you've just said."

"That's right Ron, we've been writing some letters for you since the first week of summer but we didn't receive any response from you."

Ron looked unsatisfied at first.

"What are you trying to say then? That there are some sort of miracle that's going on? Just like what Dobby had done with you five years ago?"

"Maybe no, maybe yes…but I have a strong feeling that we'll find out soon."

The usual vacant expression of Ron finally came back to normal.

"So, is everything settled now between the three of us?" asked Hermione.

"Ron?"

He nodded so as Harry. The three of them grinned at each other and headed to Madam Malkin's.

We're going nearer to the end of my story; I hope you like it so far.
