Chapter 4-

AN- Well read it then! Sorry I'm in a slightly hyper mood, it can't be
helped!
Also, all fellow Harry/Ginny shippers please forgive my treachery I have
not paired them together in this one. It will become clear later, just why
this isn't. Please, please, please forgive me!
* "Woof woof!" Barked Pippin.
"Calm down Pip!" Hermione laughed at seeing her dog go mad over the new chew toy that Eilonwy had brought him.
"I thought you'd like it!" Eilonwy said patting the dog on the head. "Shall we take him with us: do you think he'll mind the ferry?"
"No, he gets sea sick!"
They were going to the mainland for the day. Eilonwy had suggested it partially because she needed to go shopping and partially to get Hermione away from the castle and her ex-boyfriend.
* A few hours later they were in Diagon Alley. Hermione had brought a copy of her new book(s) among others. Eilonwy wanted to buy dress robes and so they went into a little robe shop called Moonlight.
Hermione squeaked with surprise when she saw the woman who came to serve them. It was Ginny Weasley! She had changed, and her flaming red hair not hung further down her back and her freckled face which had once been soc mischievous had matured.
"Hermione Granger! Well I never! What are you doing here?" Ginny asked hugging her friend.
"Escaping from your brother actually," Hermione admitted.
"Who? Ron?"
"Yes. He's at the Isenguard Station investigating the disappearances." Hermione said.
"Oh," Ginny had noticed the bitterness in Hermione's voice because she changed the subject, "This is my shop! And I designed everything in it!"
"Wow! It's wonderful!" Hermione said impressed, "Ginny, this is my friend Eilonwy, Eilonwy this is Ginny, Commander Weasley's sister."
"Pleased to meet you," Ginny said shaking Eilonwy's hand, "But you're an elf!"
"Mortal elf actually, but it's an easy mistake to make." Eilonwy said smiling.
"Oh Hermione, things are so wonderful!" Ginny said.
"Your shop you mean?"
"No, not just that! I'm getting married!" Ginny announced.
"Really, who to?" Hermione asked.
"You remember my best friend at Hogwarts? Colin Creevy?" Ginny asked.
"Yes! The camera boy! Who got petrified like me! Oh Ginny! I'm so happy for you!" Hermione said, truly happier for her friend's news.
"You've been petrified?" Eilonwy asked.
"Yes, in my second year, it was a basilisk." Hermione replied.
* After sorting out Eilonwy's robes, during which time Hermione had brought herself a pair, after all they were made by her friend, and when Ginny's assistant had come in they went to a small café and sat sipping coffee.
"So you'll get a wedding invitation soon," Ginny said. "You can come too Eilonwy."
Hermione smiled, Ginny and Eilonwy had become friends. Ginny was like that, she could make friends with anybody unless their name was Malfoy.
"You won't mind will you Hermione? I mean Ron being there and everything?" Ginny asked uncertainly.
"No. I have to put up with him for I don't know how long back at the Isenguard Station, I think I can manage a few hours!" Hermione said grimly.
"It's just that.well." Ginny said hesitatingly," weddings make people feel..romantic." "I can assure you that there is no danger of that happening to me, and certainly not as far as Ronald Weasley is concerned!" Hermione said hotly.
"Hermione, we better go, we'll be late for the last ferry." Eilonwy interrupted.

Ron returned to the castle, depressed. They had made no progress and Hermione hated him! Could things get any worse!
Yes, they could. Hedwig was waiting for him in his room. Ron gave the owl some owl treats and water before reading the letter she had brought.
Dear Ron, If you're looking for sympathy you won't find any from me! I know you still care about her- its obvious! And I'm willing to bet she still cares for you. Talk to her, be friendly! Talk about anything me! Ginny and Colin! The twins joke shop! Make an effort. Right now I'm off looking for love..no that sounds corny...like some muggle song! Its all right for you, you obviously already have it! From your love deprived friend, Harry
Ron scowled. Hedwig had stayed and was obviously waiting for a reply so he wrote one:
Dear love deprived friend, I do not still care about her nor do I love her! Indeed I think you will find it is hard to be in love with a person who speaks in a hostile sort of way and who has an elven princess for a friend, who glares at you from across a pub! Also you may interested to learn that Draco Malfoy is not in Azkaban but here in the castle! Suspect or what! Kate Silvers interviewed him and put him top of the suspects list. Good luck on your search for love you need it! And if you must know I'm thinking about asking out one of the staff here called Harriet Longstaff. From your ever so slightly fed up friend, Ron
*
Ron was heading towards the common room to look for this Harriet Longstaff when he bumped into Draco Malfoy. He hadn't changed, he was still the blonde haired, arrogant, stuck up pig that he had always been.
"Oh my the Weasels come to help his mudblood girlfriend! Oh sorry she doesn't want to have anything to do with him anymore. What a pity, the Potter trio all split up!" Malfoy drawled.
As a kid Ron would have probably have lunged at him and broken his nose. But his auror training and maturity would not allow himself to do so. Instead her said, "Oh and the pureblood prat has managed to buy his way out of prison and is now living a sheltered life in a remote castle?"
"Isn't that what Granger's doing?" Malfoy laughed.
"Aye. But she's doing it honestly!" Ron said hotly.
"Oh da-ja-voo! Its just like old times you sticking up for that mudblood!" Draco snarled.
"Yeah and you being able to do nothing except throw insults!" Ron said grimly and walked off leaving a seething Draco Malfoy to plot his revenge.
