Not so much a present as a truck load. Ron could barely lift it. Inside were.....

"Wow, thanks Hermione! I've always wanted the complete collection of Hogwarts: A History's Encyclopedia!"

Ron knew that he would treasure this gift from her forever. Maybe she'd notice him if he memorized the entire H section......He sighed and softly spoke the words: "But soft, what light-"

Ron stopped for a minute, then thought, "Hooooolllld on a minute. I never talk like that..... which of you weird fanfic authors is influencing me???"

A girl on the sofa that he hadn't noticed before suddenly giggled. The tall girl next to her shushed her. "Wait a minute." he said, frowning. "Who are you?"

"Is that really important?" said the shorter one. "Just enjoy your birthday!"

And suddenly that was all Ron really felt like doing.
