Harry, Ron and Hermione got into their cars and drove to the hotel. The hotel was a tall building, that was brown, on the outside and and black, on the inside. Harry and his friends parked their cars and stepped out. They started grabbing their luggage.

Harry and Hermione brought a decently-sized amount of stuff, that was packed in a couple of suitcases. Ron had packed much more, than they did. He had five suitcases and all of them were heavy. Ron used his strength, to grab one of the suitcases and hold it. Harry turned around and saw Ron. He asked, "Do you need help?"

Ron wanted to seem strong, but he didn't have the muscles, that he wanted. He sighed and said, "It seems like it's going to be a bit tricky, to carry all of my crap."

Harry looked in Ron's trunk and saw all the suitcases. He said, "Ron, why did you bring all this stuff?"

Ron said, "I wanted to make sure, that I have everything I needed. That's why I grabbed a bunch of random stuff, from my bedroom."

Hermione replied, "That wasn't a wise decision. You don't even know what stuff you have, in your suitcases?"

Ron said, "I didn't pay much attention, while I was throwing stuff into my suitcases. I'm assume I have everything, that I could ever need."

Harry tried to carry one of Ron's suitcases. Despite being stronger than Ron, Harry could barely hold the suitcase. After setting the suitcase down, Harry sighed and said, "Ron, I don't know what you're going to do."

Suddenly, an idea popped into Ron's head. He smiled, while saying, "I can use my magical wand, to make the suitcases fly. That way, I don't have to carry them."

Hermione asked, "Will that work?"

Ron said, "I think so." Ron pulled out a wand, out of his jacket and pointed it at the suitcases. After performing a magic spell, Ron made the suitcases float. He felt proud of himself, while saying, "The suitcases are flying. This is awesome."

Harry and Hermione started carrying their luggage, while Ron continued to make his suitcases float. The trio went into the hotel. Ron started fiddling with his wand, for fun, but this led to him making the suitcases fly around the lobby, before bumping into a group of bellboys, who fell to the ground and passed out.

Hermione gave Ron a disapproving look, while saying, "You hurt those bellboys."

Ron nervously replied, "It was an accident. Besides, it was the suitcases, who hurt the bellboys. I'm innocent."

Hermione folded her arms and said, "Yeah right. If you knew how to control your magic, this wouldn't of happened."

Ron asked, "Do you think I'm a bad wizard or something?"

Hermione replied, "No, but you can be irresponsible, at times."

Ron said, "I can do great tricks, sometimes."

The hotel manager went into the lobby and saw a group of bellboys, who were resting on the floor. He had a confused look on his face, while asking, "What's going on?"

Ron explained, "The bellboys got attacked, by some flying suitcases."

The manager replied, "What a crazy thing to say. However, I've been hearing all sorts of crazy things, ever since Hogwarts' former students started coming here."

Hermione said, "We're all from Hogwarts."

The manager asked, "Really?" He looked around and saw Harry. He stepped closer and said, "You're Harry Potter, aren't you?"

Harry answered, "Yes I am."

The manager shook Harry's hand and said, "It's an honor, to meet you. Thank you, for saving us from Voldemort."

Harry replied, "You're welcome, sir."

The manager said, "I'm sure you heard, that you guys get to stay at the hotel, for free. You can expect the best treatment, because you're some of our best guests."

Hermione replied, "Thank you. We're all honored."

The manager started giving a tour, to Harry, Hermione and Ron. Harry and Hermione were paying attention, but Ron wasn't. Ron was using his hand, to continue making his suitcases float. Ron had to keep his focus, to keep the suitcases from falling. Ron wasn't paying much attention, to the other people, that were roaming around the hallways. This led to one of the suitcases hitting Draco, in the face. Ron gasped and said, "I'm sorry."

Draco gave Ron a dirty look, while saying, "It's been a long time, since I last saw you. I figured you still wouldn't be fond of me, but using that ridiculously-painful suitcase, to hit me in the face, is going too far."

Ron defensively replied, "You've done worse things, you little brat."

Draco responded, "You're going down." Draco ran towards Ron and started beating him up.

Harry and Hermione turned around and saw what Draco was doing. Hermione angrily said, "Draco, what's wrong with you? Why are you attacking Ron?"

Draco replied, "It was self-defense. Ron hit me, with one of his stupid suitcases."

Ron responded, "It was an accident."

Hermione stared at Draco, while sternly saying, "Stop hurting Ron."

Draco replied, "Fine."

Hermione and Ron started walking away. Harry was about to follow them, but Draco said, "Come here."

Harry walked towards Draco and said, "Hi, Draco. I hope we don't have to be rivals, anymore."

Draco had an amused look on his face, while asking, "Do you think everything's going to go your way, just because you saved everyone?"

Harry casually answered, "More or less."

Draco said, "I appreciate the fact, that you saved my life. I suppose I have no reason, to bully you."

Harry asked, "Does that mean everything's cool?"

Draco said, "Not necessarily."

Harry raised an eyebrow and asked, "What do you mean?"

Draco said, "Ron hit me, with the heaviest suitcase, that I've ever seen. A lot of people tolerate Ron's accidents and mistakes, but I don't. If your friend keeps doing this crap, there's going to be trouble. Do you understand?" Harry nodded. Draco walked away, while smiling.

Harry continued walking around the hallway. He walked past some rooms, before walking by the room, that Ginny was staying in. Harry waved to her and nervously said, "Hi, Ginny."

Ginny angrily stared at Harry, while replying, "Stay away from me, you scoundrel." She went into her room and shut the door.

A few minutes later, Harry walked up to Ron, who was standing in the hallway. Ron smiled, while saying, "Your room is next to my room. That's good, because it'll give us a chance, to come together and find a way, to get an affordable ring." Ron looked at Harry and noticed he wasn't happy, so he asked, "What's wrong?"

Harry said, "Ginny's not happy, to see me. She dumped me, a while ago, but I don't know why."

Ron started looking guilty, while saying, "I'm afraid you know the reason, that she's mad."

Harry replied, "Tell me."

Ron sighed and explained, "I spread a rumor, that you were cheating on her, with Luna. I claimed you became a sleazy playboy, because you let power and fame corrupt you."

Harry could hardly believe the things, that Ron was telling him. Ron had been one of Harry's closest friends, for years, but he had ruined Harry and Ginny's relationship, on purpose. Harry asked, "Why would you do that? You lied to your sister and you ruined one of the best relationships, that I've ever had."

Ron replied, "I felt it was the right thing, considering the circumstances."

Harry had a confused look on his face, while asking, "What are you talking about?"

Ron said, "You're my best friend. I figured you would be responsible and not date my little sister."

Harry replied, "But I love her."

Ron said, "You should of found somebody else, to love."

Harry replied, "I can't believe you'd do this, Ron." Harry went into his room and slammed the door.

Ron went into Hermione's room, without knocking and saw that Hermione was hugging one of her books. Ron jokingly said, "It seems like you're cheating on me, with a book."

Hermione sighed and replied, "You're not supposed to enter my room, without knocking."

Ron said, "I committed a much bigger sin, than that."

Hermione asked, "What are you talking about?"

Ron explained, "I'm the reason, that Harry and Ginny's relationship ended. I lied, by saying that Harry was having an affair."

Hermione asked, "Why would you do that?"

Ron said, "I was trying to be a good brother."

Hermione replied, "Ruining your sister's relationship is a terrible thing to do, Ron. You know better."

Ron started pacing around the room, while saying, "I need Harry's help, for an important mission. I doubt he's going to help me, since he knows what I've done. I want to make things right, but I don't know what to do."

Hermione sternly replied, "Go tell the truth, to Ginny, right now."

Ron responded, "I guess she has the right, to know that Harry's a good guy, after all."

A moment later, Luna walked up to Harry's door and started knocking on the door. Harry opened the door and saw Luna, who was dressed like a bat, for fun. Harry felt weirded-out, while saying, "Hi, Luna. It's good to see you, after all this time."

Luna replied, "Indeed it is, Harry. It's been too long, since I've seen my boyfriend."

Harry looked confused, while asking, "What do you mean?"

Luna said, "I'm your girlfriend."

Harry replied, "No you're not. You're a friend, that's a girl, which sounds similar, but it has a different meaning."

Luna said, "Ron told me, that I'm your girlfriend."

Harry angrily sighed and said, "I can hardly believe, that Ron did that."

Luna said, "I thought we were a couple."

Harry asked, "You really believed that, just because Ron told you?"

Luna shrugged her shoulders and said, "It sounded a bit peculiar, but I have a strong liking, when it comes to odd things." She paused and said, "Are you sure, that Ron wasn't telling the truth?"

Harry said, "I'm positive."

Luna said, "Then Ron was very dedicated, to lying. He's been making-up all sorts of stories, about how much you care about me and all the things you got for me."

Harry looked a bit guilty, while saying, "I'm sorry, but I'm afraid that Ron was being a lousy friend."

Luna replied, "I understand."

Harry said, "By the way, why you are you wearing a bat costume?"

Luna said, "I thought it'd be fun, to start dressing like various kinds of animals."

Harry replied, "That's weird, but in a charming way."

Luna smiled and responded, "Thank you."

Meanwhile, Ron walked to Ginny's room and started knocking on the door. Ginny opened the door. It had been several months, since she had last seen Ron, because Ron often avoided family gatherings. Ron said, "Hi, Ginny."

Ginny replied, "Hi, Ron. What's going on?"

Ron nervously smiled and said, "I'm afraid I have to tell you, that I've been lying to you."

Ginny started looking upset, while asking, "What do you mean?"

Ron said, "I lied, about Harry having an affair. He never dated Luna Lovegood. I've been tricking Luna, into thinking she's Harry's girlfriend."

Ginny asked, "Why would you do such a thing?"

Ron said, "Because I'm your older brother and unlike Fred and George, I'm a somewhat serious guy, who cares about you. It's the job, of parents and older siblings, to be overprotective. That's why I couldn't let you date Harry."

Ginny angrily replied, "You tricked me, into thinking that Harry was a lousy cheater." Ginny grabbed Ron and started beating him up.

A few minutes later, Harry, Hermione and some of the other guests started hearing loud noises, including punches, kicks, chairs being thrown and other strange sounds. Harry and Hermione stepped out of their rooms and tried to find out, what was going on. Hermione looked at Harry, while asking, "What's going on?"

Harry replied, "I'm not sure, but I think the sounds are coming from Ginny's room." He nervously said, "Somebody might be trying to hurt her. I have to help."

Harry and Hermione quickly walked to Ginny's room. Harry opened the door and ran into the room. He looked down and saw Ron, who was covered in bruises. Harry nervously asked, "What's going on?"

Ginny said, "Ron told me, about his horrible lie, so I beat him up."

Hermione stepped in the room and replied, "That's not okay, Ginny."

Ginny said, "That's easy for you to say, Hermione. Ron's your boyfriend, so you want to defend him. However, he's a pathetic liar."

Hermione replied, "I don't disagree, but that doesn't give you the right, to attack him." She looked down and started looking at all the bruises, that Ron had. She said, "Ginny, it's not like you just slapped Ron, once or twice. You hurt him, badly."

Ginny responded, "He deserved it. I want to continue punishing him. Can you leave the room and let me finish?"

Harry said, "I don't think so."

Ginny looked at Harry and started smiling, while saying, "Forget about Ron. You don't have to associate with him, anymore. Since I know you didn't cheat on me, we can continue dating. You and I can punch Ron, together."

Harry replied, "I'm not going to do that. You had no right, to hurt him and if you don't stop, I'll have to call the police."

Ginny responded, "Give me a break. You must be furious, at Ron, for what he's done."

Harry said, "What Ron did was incredibly stupid, but what you did was worse and I'm not going to date someone, who hurts my friends."

Ginny said, "You disappoint me, Harry."

Harry replied, "I'm disappointed, in you, so I know how you feel." Harry and Hermione picked-up Ron and started walking out of the room.

Harry and Hermione took Ron, to his room and put him on his bed. Hermione had a concerned look on her face, while staring at Ron and asking, "Are you okay?"

Ron said, "I guess I'm okay."

Hermione started putting ice, on Ron's stomach, in order to make him feel better. She put her hand on Ron's shoulder, while saying, "You don't need to worry, Ron, because I'm going to stay here and take care of you."

Ron replied, "But shouldn't you be mad at me?"

Hermione said, "I'm not pleased, with your lies, but you're hurt and you're my boyfriend, so I want to help you."

Ron smiled and said, "Thank you, Hermione. I love you."

Hermione smiled back and replied, "I love you, too."

Harry looked at Ron, while asking, "Is there anything I can get you?"

Ron said, "Nah."

Harry said, "Well, I'll be in my room, if you need anything."

Ron replied, "Thank you."

After Harry walked out of the room, Hermione gently rubbed Ron's shoulders, while asking, "What did Ginny do to you?"

Ron explained, "After I revealed to her, that I've been lying to her, she did some screaming. She grabbed a bunch of chairs and anything else, that she could get her hands on. She threw all of that stuff, towards me. Several chairs got thrown and they hit my stomach. I landed on the floor and Ginny punched me, several times."

Hermione asked, "Why would she do that? I thought she was a sweet sister, to you."

Ron said, "Apparently, she lost a lot of her kindness and calmness, after she graduated. I could be responsible, for this. I only visited her, a few times and during one of those visits, I was making-up a story, about her boyfriend cheating on her. I'm a terrible brother."

Hermione replied, "Frankly, she's a lousy sister."

Ron said, "Well, she has impressive strength. She doesn't even need magic, to attack her opponents."

An hour later, Ron walked to Harry's room. Hermione had been concerned about Ron, so she didn't want him to leave his room. However, Ron claimed, that he just wanted to have a little chat, with Harry, so Hermione let him do that. Ron knocked on the door. Harry opened the door, while Ron said, "Hi, Harry."

Harry replied, "Hi, Ron. What's going on?"

Ron said, "I wanted to know if you were still mad at me, about what I did."

Harry replied, "I'm not glad, that you lied, but I am glad, that I stopped dating Ginny. She attacked one of my closest friends, so she's not the type of person, that I want to date."

Ron said, "So, everything's cool?"

Harry replied, "I think so. For now, I just want you to get better."

Ron said, "Don't forget, that we need to get the ring."

Harry replied, "Let's not think about that, today. You need some time, to recover."

Ron responded, "We can get the ring, tomorrow."

Harry replied, "Sounds good."

After Ron walked away, Draco walked to Harry's door. Harry sighed and looked at Draco, while asking, "How can I help you?"

Draco said, "I had another complaint, that I forget to tell you, earlier. I'm mad, that you started dating Luna. I was starting to think she was attractive, but you ruined everything."

Harry said, "I'm not dating Luna. That was a lie, that Ron spread."

Draco asked, "Really?" He paused and said, "It seems like I can date her, after all." Harry ignored Draco and closed the door.

Ron returned to his room and started laying on his bed. Hermione put some blankets on him and said, "You should get some rest."

Ron replied, "I suppose I should."

Hermione asked, "What did you and Harry talk about?"

Ron casually said, "We were just having a conversation, about cool and hip stuff."

Hermione held Ron's hand, while saying, "Please, try to stay out of trouble, from now on."

Ron replied, "I'll try to be a bit more responsible, from now on."

Hermione said, "I'm sorry, that our vacation didn't have a good beginning."

Ron replied, "It's fine. Besides, it was my fault. This vacation's going to get better."

Hermione responded, "I hope so."

Ron smiled, while saying, "I know it will, because I'm with you and when I'm with you, everything's better."

Hermione blushed and replied, "Thank you." She kissed him. Hermione and Ron continued holding hands, while staring at each-other. Despite everything that happened, they both felt happy.
