Author's Note: I have been neglecting this for awhile because I have been taking part in a Halloween challenge but that is over now, I have successfully completed that and now I can go back to other, important things. My Prompt for this was use the location the Divination Classroom for 1/4 of my story! Set in 3rd year.

Disclaimer: I don't own anything that you recognise.

Ridiculous

"I still don't understand how you got in here," Ron commented as they packed their divination books back into their various bags and backpacks. "Of course the amount of incense in this room might just have sent me into some sort of coma."

"That is entirely possible," Harry laughed slinging his bag over his shoulder. "Or you were swallowed by one of the beanbags."

"Honestly boys," Hermione chided gently as they began to follow the trickle of students out of the dusky room. "You two just don't pay attention, I was right behind you both!"

They escaped and started down the winding staircase that led down and out of the tower. It was dinnertime and all three of the students could feel their stomachs rumbling hungrily. "I really need to start paying more attention, if I managed to miss you I wonder what else I've just let walk right by, like Lavender Brown, or one of the Patils."

Hermione snorted and rolled her eyes, "honestly Ronald do you have to be so vulgar."

Harry laughed quietly to himself as he watched Ron round on her. "Excuse me for being a red blooded male!"

"You're 14, you have far more important things to be worrying about. Like school, and the future, not whatever bimbo is flitting about trying to get the attention of fifth years."

By this time they had reached the great hall and Ron was saved from starting an argument by being thoroughly distracted. Luckily this time it wasn't by girls but rather by something far more important. "Food," he growled completely ignoring his friends as he raced to find a seat.

"You know Hermione he's not going to change," Harry pointed out as they followed the ginger animal down the aisle.

"I know but I can always hope that someday my intellect and good sense will rub off on him and he'll stop acting so utterly ridiculous. There is so much potential in him, I mean just look at Percy. Even Fred and George are intelligent they just don't apply it properly but Ron," she sighed. "Ron is determined to just do whatever pops into his head."

"Well I'm sure if anyone can manage it it's you Hermione but ask yourself, would you really like him any other way?"
