The next day, Harry took the Knight Bus to Diagon Alley. He waited in the Leaky Cauldron for Ron. After 5 minutes, he still wasn't there. So Harry decided to explore Leaky Cauldron a bit. He opened a door and saw that Malfoy was making out with Pansy Parkinson.
Malfoy looked up and saw Harry.
"Hi Harry, what's up? Mind giving me a little privacy?"
"Oh sorry Draco."
"No prob."
Harry went out the door. He saw the Weasley family( and Hermione) and said hi. Then he went with Ron and Hermione to a separate table to talk.
"Hey, guess what? Draco is going out with Pansy!"
"Woo" Ron said. "And I thought he hated all the Slytherins!"
"Yeah me too, it's a big surprise." Harry replied and he saw Hermione, who wasn't talking at all.

"What's the matta, Hermione?"
"Er.....nothing. Just thinking."
"About what?"
" I think I am going to take more classes!"
Ron and Harry groaned at the same time. "Not again! Do you remember what happened last time?"
"Sure, but this time I am going to take French and Spanish lessons. I am dropping Divination for good. What junk!" Hermione said.
Harry thought. Maybe taking French courses wasn't such a bad idea. He might take it too, just to understand when the next French Quidditch Cup comes. But he had enough courses. He thought about last time, when Hermione used the Time Turner to take 3 classes at the same time. She drove herself crazy. He didn't want to make the same mistake she did.
"So, how did the Quidditch Cup go?" he asked.
"Oh, pretty well. The Paris Ravens won against the Toronto Mapleleaves."
"Who are they?" Harry asked..... Hermione didn't answer. She was walking to a new bookshop called "The Foreign Languages Books of All Ages". Harry and Ron waited for her outside and when she came out she had about a dozen books in her bag.
Ron looked at the bulking sack. "What the heck do you have in there?"
"2 French books, 2 Spanish ones, 2 Italian, 2 German, 2 American, and 2 Chinese. Cool, aren't they?"
Harry saw Ron becoming pale and fainting. "Oh, he's trying to freak Hermione out!" he snorted. He gave Ron a kick when Hermione didn't notice and whispered, "Ron, you can stop now. Hermione is too busy reading."
But Ron didn't move an inch. Harry bent down and tickled him. No reaction. Harry thought and said: "Ron, run! There is a huge tarantula coming!" Still no movements. Harry looked down and touched Ron's forehead. Cold as ice. Then it hit him. Ron really fainted.

Harry cried: "Hermione, Fred, George! Ron fainted! Where should we send him?"
Fred and George came running over. Fred was doubled with laughter and so was his twin. They were leaning on each other for support.
"What did he see? A baby ant?" Fred said between laughs. "Or maybe a tiny little harmless spider on his arm? I swear Harry, Ron faint about everyday at home. But he doesn't know its us who send Lee Jordan's giant spider into his room every night!" The twins laughed again.
"Fred, George, this is serious!" Hermione said. What if he gets a heart attack? Then what will your mother say?"
"Oh she will just laugh and give him a Bertie's Every Flavored Beans. A pepper-tasting one, mind you. He always waked up after, when he has smoke coming out the ears, and he'd never known what made it happen!"
Harry laughed and pulled a bag of those beans out of his trunk. He gave a hot pepper one to Ron and sure enough, Ron's ears turned red and smoke started to fume out.
Ron sat up and stared at all the laughing peoplem except for Hermione, who went back to her french book. "What? What's happening?"
