Harry Potter and the Mental Institute
Chapter Three
Ginny eavsdropped to hear Ron saying: "Yes, I know. . . mmhmm… I see… well, the problem won't fix itself. We still have to help… Yes, I know… ok, I'll be there soon…. Where? Oh! Ok, bye."
With that he stood up and the fire went out. Suddenly he looked around and saw Ginny. Sheepishly he relit the fireplace and was saved from answering Ginny's inquiring glare with Hermione rejoining them.
"Harry is doing alright, I think. At least he isn't muttering on about hobgoblins and infected rats anymore," she reported.
"Hey you guys, it's getting kinda late. Would you like to stay here for the night?" Ginny asked Ron and Hermione.
Ron and Hermione quitely conversed their options while Ginny left the room to see for herself the state of Harry's drunkness. Unortunately for her, he was up.
" 'Ello Jinny! How's ya been doin'? Gotten rid o' those nasty badgers yet?" Harry asked. Obviously he was still drunk.
"Hold still Harry. This won't hurt a bit." Ginny said.
Ginny pointed her wand at Harry and with a swift motion of her hands cast a curing spell to relieve Harry of his drunkness. The spell, however, put him to sleep, so she left the room.
When she got back to the living room, Ron and Hermione had their stuff all together.
"Thank you for the hospitality, but we really must be going. We wanted to know, however, if we could come over first thing tomorrow," Hermione said. "We really have a lot of catching up to do with Harry, and we couldn't really tonight, him being drunk and all."
"Sure. That's fine with me, and I'm sure it's fine with Harry," Ginny replied. "See you guys tomorrow morning!"
As Ginny watched Ron dissapara te, she wondered what he was up to tonight. Oh well. I guess I will have to wait 'till tomorrow to find out!
