Harry Potter and the Matchmaker
Chapter Ten:
Loui smiled as she browsed around in Dervish and Banges. She listened to Hermione complain about this, that and the other, yet only heard Ron this and Ron that, though his name was never once mentioned.
"Are we done here?" Loui asked, taking our her pocket watch, for she hated having anything on her wrist, and looking at it. She smiled as she remember a muggle had once asked her what time it was and was completely shocked by the fact instead of numbers and two hands, there were twelve hands, each representing one of the twelve planets. It didn't make since to the muggle, but it made perfect since to her. "It is almost noon and we have to meet the boys."
"Yeah," Hermione sighed at last. "I am done." She walked to the counter with Loui and they made their purchases.
As they made their way to The Three Broomsticks, Loui smiled. "You know, that old friend of yours, Ron, certainly is something," she mused. "I've never met an Auror that wasn't stuck up and stiffly formal, but he seems pretty much at ease."
Hermione didn't reply.

Ron and Matt walked down the street. Their robes were torn and their hair messed up. There was a bit of blood at the corner of Matt's mouth and a red stain on Ron's shoulder. They were both laughing.
When they entered The Three Broomsticks, they walked to the table the girls were sitting at.
Hermione's eyes widened. "What have you two been doing?" she asked, shocked.
"Playing," Matt winked.
"With what, bikers?" Loui scuffed.
Matt and Ron looked confused. "What are bikers?"
"Never mind," Loui and Hermione said together. Matt and Ron were both from wizard families and knew little about the muggle world. Hermione came from a muggle family and Loui's father was a muggle, so they knew more about the muggle world.
The boys took their seats, Ron beside Hermione, but only because Matt took the seat beside Loui.
"So, did you two have fun shopping?" Matt asked in his Scottish accent.
"Yeah," Loui said, drolly. This so counted as one of their dates, she told herself.
*Loui,* a voice came to her head. *Loui we have a big problem.*
It was her sister. Monti and Loui shared a special bond because they weren't just twins they were witch twins. They could communicate to one another with their minds, no matter where the other one was.
*What is it?* Loui questioned, keeping her face so that she looked that she was listening to the conversation Hermione, Matt, and Ron were having.
*She's here,* Monti replied.
*You mean, here here?* Loui questioned, her face looking worried now. Matt was the only one who noticed, since Hermione and Ron were in a heated discussion about the Ministry of Magic.
*Yes, in my room,* Monti said, sounding just as worried. *You'd better get here fast. Its important.*
*Is T. Lily there too?* Loui asked, wondering if their younger sister had come with her.
*I think so,* Monti said. *but I haven't seen her yet.*
*Right, I'll be right there,* Loui said, standing.
"Is something wrong, Louisiana?" Matt inquired because of her odd actions.
Loui forced a smile as she chanced a look at Ron, an Auror. He definitely couldn't find out who was here. No, never.
"I just remembered something," Loui said with a strained chuckle. "If you'll excuse me." Before any of them could say a word, Loui was out the door and on her way to Hogwarts.
The other three looked on, a bit confused.
Matt pursed his lips as he stared after her.
