It's needless to say that Hermione got top marks in her O.W.L.s. However it
is neseccary to tell you that Ron, due to his diligent studying, also got
top marks in his O.W.L.s, much to the delight of his dear mother. Harry
also did exceptionally well. Well, when a saucy redhead (Ginny, not Ron)
asks you to study you're not very well going to refuse are you?
On the final day before leaving for the summer holidays, the four friends were sitting by the lake, basking in the sunlight. Harry and Ginny were lying on their backs. Harry had his arm around her, and Ginny's head was resting on Harry's chest.
Ron and Hermione were sitting nearby, revisiting a scene that took place between them almost a year previously. Ron was sitting down with Hermione's head in his lap. He was playing with her hair, while Hermione lay there with her eyes closed quietly enjoying the feeling of Ron's fingers in her hair.
"It's been a strange year hasn't it?" Harry broke the contented silence.
"Strange doesn't cover it!" Ron looked at Harry in mock outrage.
"But it all worked out didn't it?" Ginny half sat up. "I mean we're all happy now aren't we?"
"Don't ask stupid questions Ginny," Ron murmured while closely examining several strands of Hermione's hair.
"Don't talk to my girlfriend like that!" Harry propped himself up on his elbows, "Yes we are all happy Gin. What a wonderfully insightful thing to say."
Ginny giggled. "Thank you Harry, I'm glad SOMEONE appreciates my wit and wisdom." She gave Harry a quick peck on the cheek to show her true appreciation.
"Did you ever notice," Hermione said with a slightly puzzled look on her face, "That the little things in life always seem to matter more than the huge serious things."
Her three friends frowned at her. "Would you like to elaborate on that a little 'Mione?" Ron decided to voice what each of them was thinking.
"Okay, just pretend for a sec, that this is just one big story. Just pretend that some very talented, pretty Irish girl decided one day to write a story to deal with her boyfriend breaking up with her. Which do you think would be more important for her to accomplish in this story, something kinda everyday like pairing us all up, or something huge like us defeating the most evil person alive?"
Harry gave her a slightly quizzical look, but answered all the same. "Well since it's a girl, and she's dealing with her ex-boyfriend being a total and complete ass, the little things in the story would probably be more important."
Ginny laughed. "Then she's have to call the story something like 'The big little things'!"
Ron laughed heartily. "Ah, come on Ginny, nobody would use a title THAT bad."
And the four friends laughed at the little piece of nonsense until the sun sank behind the clouds on that one happy, carefree day.
