Ron's Siblings
It was two weeks into the summer holidays, and Ron was already bored. He flipped through his well-thumbed comics briefly, but he'd already done that several times already. He desperately needed something to take his mind off her.
He decided to draw cartoons of his friends and family. Percy he drew with having large, thick glasses and a thick book entitled "Wizard Law". He drew Fred and George with identical evil grins and their beater's bats. He drew Harry and Ginny together, Harry with his Firebolt and Ginny bright red. He decided to draw Malfoy, Crabbe and Goyle next. He made Malfoy look pale and ferret-like, with two creatures behind him, which looked like trolls.
Ron grinned at his accurate portrayal of everyone. As long as no one found these pictures, he could draw the one person he had spent most of his summer dreaming about. He drew her as she was at the Yule Ball; only instead of Krum beside her, he drew himself. This made him think about Krum. Hermione had said she wasn't sure if she was visiting him over the summer, but she would have decided by the second week. Ron put most of the pictures under his bed (no one would ever think of attempting to tidy under there, for fear of setting off a dungbombs or encountering more of Ron's old junk. However, he kept the picture of himself and Hermione under his pillow.
He awoke the next morning to Pigwidgeon zooming around his bedroom. Ron was about to throw something at him when he saw whose handwriting it was on the envelope. He jumped up and grabbed the letter off Pigwidgeon. He tore it open. It said:
Dear Ron,
Why on earth did you ask me eleven times whether I was staying with Krum? I gathered that you wanted to know from the first however many times you've put it in previous letters. Anyway, I'm not going to stay with him.
I've been keeping an eye on Rita Skeeter in the Daily Prophet. I don't know if you've noticed, but she seems to like showing people's positive side now. Is Percy still obsessed with work? I hope you haven't spent all your time so far playing Quidditch and reading your comics, and that you have done some of your homework. I've finished it all now, the Arithmancy one was really interesting.
Love, Hermione.
PS. Ginny told me about you re-reading the Chudley Cannons book for the twentieth time, and she seems quite annoyed by this. She has told me if you don't stop she'll send me some of your baby photos.
Ron jumped up and down on his bed. Hermione wasn't with Krum! Pigwidgeon was also happy, but then, he always was. He'd have to stop reading Flying with the Cannons for a while though. He had been reading what Rita Skeeter wrote, but he wasn't going to tell Hermione this. It had almost given his family heart attacks when they saw him reading something that wasn't Quidditch related. He snatched up his quill, and wrote a reply:
Hermione,
I asked about Krum so many times because I was curious. I wanted to know if Pig would have to fly to Bulgaria to get to you.
I have made a start on my homework, since you asked. Percy is still as obsessed with work as ever. He is worshipping his new boss as much as Mr Crouch. This one can even remember his surname.
I'll have a look at what Rita Skeeter has been writing. Mum made a comment about it when she interviewed Percy's new boss.
Why has Ginny been writing about me anyway? It's none of her business how many times I read anything. What else has she put?
Mum and Dad say you can come and stay if you want. Ginny also wants you to come. This probably means she wants to really embarrass me. Dumbledore said that Harry has to stay with his aunt and uncle until the last week.
Ron.
He tied the letter to Pigwidgeon and threw him out the window. Now he needed to speak to Ginny.
"What have you been saying to Hermione?" he demanded when he found her eating breakfast.
"Ahh, is ickle Ronnikins scared Ginny will embarrass him?" said Fred, grinning.
"Now, Ron should be worried," said George, also grinning. "What if Ginny tells his girlfriend-"
"She is not my girlfriend!" Ron yelled as he stamped back to his room. He had gone bright red.
Ginny was giggling so hard she was bent over double. Fred and George were whispering about something, the evil grins identical to the ones Ron drew. They went over to Ginny.
"We have an idea to really make Ron wish he could avoid Hermione for the rest of his life," said Fred.
"Want to help?" said George. "Trust me, this is better than baby photos. Even the one where he is hiding behind the huge, pink teddy bear."
