1 Snowflake

AN- this is supposed to be a little bit of light-relief, as the plot I've been pursuing had always had a sad current running through it. I saw Star Wars Attack of the Clones today and although I enjoyed it I've just gotta ask- was George Lucas drunk when he came up with some of those plot lines? Its totally confused!!

A few days later Ron and Ginny had settled into the slightly topsy-turvy house. They had gotten used to Carra and Maria's artistic temperament, Lise's correction of their posture and Rose's burst of speaking six different languages in one sentence.
Hermione and her friends had the day off for a Wizarding feast day and were taking Ron and Ginny to the muggle zoo.
They were a merry company, laughing and joking, Ginny insisted on taking dozens of photographs (using a muggle camera so as not to attract attention) all in all they were having a splendid time.
"Oh Snowflake!" Hermione exclaimed as they reached the enclosure that held the worlds only known albino gorilla, named snowflake for the unique white of his fur.
"I'll never get over the colour of his fur," Maria remarked.
Ron and Ginny however were in fits of laughter.
"Who'd have thought Old Tom?" Ginny said in between giggles.
"What?" The others asked, confused.
When he'd calmed down enough Ron said, "This is no gorilla this is my Dad's old school friend."
"What?" Hermione asked.
"He's an animangus, he went mad and decided to let himself be caught by the muggles and put into captivity." Ginny said. "I wonder if Dad knows he's here."
True, at the sight of the Weasley's hair, the usually lazy Snowflake had sat up and was staring intently at them.
"Apparently he recognises you," Carra laughed.
"Ay, he would do, came to our house a few times before he went mad, he always used to bring us toys or something like that." Ron said.
"Its not funny really, poor man he never had a family or anything like that, he was a really good auror too and look what happened to him, how would you like to spend all your days behind bars with muggles peering in on you?"
"Horrid." Rose decided bluntly.
Still they all fell about laughing.

Later in the evening Hermione and Ron sat out on the lawn that was part of the small garden that lay behind the house.
"I think I'm going to have the best summer I've had in a long time," Ron remarked.
Hermione looked up, smiling. Her curls poured over her shoulders and her chocolaty brown eyes shone.
"Me too." She said quietly.
"I'm glad I came." He said.
"Me too."
"I had a great day today." He continued.
"Me too."
"Is that all you can say?" He asked chuckling.
"Of course it isn't you idiot!" She laughed.
Ron felt dizzy all of a sudden, not as if he was ill or anything but a sudden realisation had just hit him, he was falling for her all over again.

AN- this is not the end just in case I gave you that impression. PLEASE review!
