Ch 4 - A very happy Ron and another couple down

The next morning Ron came downstairs and into the living room to find his mom fixing lunch, Melanie, Ginny, and Hermione helping. Lori was sitting on the couch, looking extremely tired. She had her head supported by her hand with her elbow propped on the arm of the couch.

When he came bounding in happily she raised her eyebrows "What are you so happy about?" She asked, knowing that Ron was most certainly NOT a morning person.

Ron plopped down on the couch next to his insane cousin, grinning and said "I did it."

If possible, Lori raised her eyebrows higher "What 'it'?"

"It."

Now she frowned.

"You know."

She looked him over a moment and then her eyes widened "It it?!"

Ron, thinking she understood, nodded.

Lori's face held horror as she said, "Eeeewwww! Thanks for the mental images, Ron!"

He slapped his forehead "NO! Not that!

Lori, who had stood up seconds before, sat back down "Then...what are you talking about?"

"I was talking about asking 'Mione out...Sheesh!"

"What? I don't have a proper brain this early?!" She said in defense

"Its almost noon, Lori."

"That doesn't give me a brain!"

Ron shook his head, "How do you get through your morning classes?"

She grinned "Hermione. Why else would I sit next to her and Mel next to me?"

"But she'd never let you copy her notes."

"She doesn't know you git!"

There were a few minutes of silence. Then Lori broke it, grinning not to unlike a maniac would "So...you finally asked her, huh?"

"Yep."

"What'd she say?"

"Yes. Can you believe that?"

She nodded "More or less so, yeah."

Later Ron was talking to Harry when it suddenly grew silent, that is...until Ron said "Just ask her already Harry!"

Harry looked at his best friend, one eyebrow raised, "Huh?"

"Ginny. Just ask her out already."

"Your one talk, or did you forget about Hermione?"

"That's been taken care of." Ron grinned.

Harry's eyes were wide "Since when?"

"As of last night...Eleven fifty seven PM to be exact."

Harry shook his head as he got up to go downstairs "Finally." he muttered.

In the hallway, he ran into Lori, who walked over to him and put an arm around his shoulders. He looked at her sideways and said cautiously "Hi Lori."

She grinned that maniacal grin that was so much like Fred and George.

"What?" Harry asked flatly

"Just ask her Harry."

"Could everyone stop telling me that?"

"If everyone's saying it then it must be imp rtant."

Harry sighed.

"Alright, I'll give you two choices if you choose not to: One, I'll get the twins to do it, or two, I'll do it."

When she said 'twins' his eyes widened "Uhh...I think I'll do it myself, thanks."

Lori grinned, turned around and went into Ron's room "It worked."

"Good, cause I'm tired of this."

"And everyone else wasn't tired of you and Hermione?...well...except mum...she thought it was cute..."

He shrugged "I guess."

"Speaking of 'Mione–"

"She wouldn't like you calling her that, you know?"

"Anyways." She said, annoyed of his interupting her "Are you two official yet?"

"Yeah..............I guess..."

She rolled her eyes "Have you been on a date yet?" Lori didn't keep very close tabs on Ron.

"Well.....no...."

"Have you told anyone other than me and Harry?"

"Harry and me, and no."

"She's rubbing off on you Ron...I hope it isn't like...contagious cause I sure don't want it!"

Ron rolled his eyes and shoved her out the door "Just go."

Lori laughed and started down the stairs. About halfway down, she stopped, shocked but intrigued by the scene before her.

What she was seeing was surprising, yet priceless. Her youngest cousin, and the famous Harry Potter were downstairs. In her Aunt and Uncle's house. On the couch.....KISSING?!?!

"Well...I guess its official with those two then. I mean, they're kissing..." After a moment of thinking about this, she laughed. "This is great! These two get together after Ron and Mione yet, they kiss waaaayyyy before those two..."
