Ron sat at the entrance and waited for his family to come. It was no easy task to get to the entrance. He was trod on, kicked and a little girl wanted to bring him home. He bared his teeth and started growling. The little girl screamed and ran away. He looked at the clock. It only took him ten minutes to get to the entrance. Twenty more minutes before he turn into his old self. He looked around and saw his family. He picked up a parcel and walked towards them.
"Look, dad. There's a little bulldog carrying a parcel walking towards us," Ginny said as she pointed at Ron.
The twins laughed when they saw Ron.
"Hi Ron!" they sang.
"RON?!?" said the remaining Weasleys. They all wore puzzled expressions on their faces.
"The shopkeeper at -" George didn't finish his sentence. He burst out laughing.
Fred continued,"-Fedroteps's. Offered us-"
"- Doggie Cookies that-" George said.
"-Will turn you into a dog for -"
"An hour." George said.
"Yeah, Ron was stupid enough to eat it." Fred said before roaring with laughter.
Ron put his parcel down and started snapping at Fred and George. Then he chased them.
"BOYS!" Mrs. Weasley scolded. "We're going to Black Cat for dinner. They serve excellent Orange Toads."
"Great! I'm starving," Ron wanted to say but all that came out was Woof! Woof! Woof!
----------------------------------
The people in Black Cat didn't really mind about Ron. A waiter put a baby chair at the table and put Ron in it. After that, he tied a bib around Ron's neck to stop Ron's saliva from dripping all over the place. Everyone -even Mrs. Weasley- laughed. Ron looked so adorable. A few minutes later, there was a loud Pop! Ron turned back into his old self. He was too big for the baby chair. He screamed and fell from the chair.
"OUCH!"
Everyone at Black Cat laughed at him.
"Are you o-okay, Ron D-dear?" Mrs. Weasley spluttered before laughing.
Ron went red. A waiter drew a chair from the air and placed it next to Fred.
"Here, sir."
Ron quickly sat down. He wished that the floor would just swallow him up. He should have bought some Quamire Quills just now. Just then, their food arrived.
"Mmm... This is good!" Fred said with a mouthful of Bat Soup.
Fred then nudges Bill and started asking questions about Egypt. Which was rather odd because Ron distinctively remembered that Fred was yawning when Bill was telling them about the pyramid. Ron saw George slipping a bagful of beetles into Bill's soup. Ron snickered. Suddenly, a light shone from a parcel next to Ron.
"Ron, what did you buy? What's whistling?" Bill asked.
"I dunno."
Ron opened the parcel. The Pocket Sneakoscope was spinning and there was light shining from it. A loud piercing whistle was coming from it.
"Oh! It's a Pocket Sneakoscope. I got it at a Souvenir shop in the Golden Pyramid. It's supposed to light up when someone untrustworthy is around," Ron replied.
Bill took a spoonful of soup then said," It's rubbish sold for wizard tourists. Not reliable. You shouldn't buy all this rubbish."
The twins snickered. Ron decided not to get them into trouble.
-------------------------------------------------------
Dear Ron, How are you? Sorry for the late reply. I've been pretty busy. What are you getting for Harry? It's his birthday next week. I'm sure you have something special for him.I got him a Broomstick Servicing Kit. I bought it by owl-order.I don't know how to send it. I mean, what if they opened it at customs? I'm so jealous of you I wish I could visit Egypt. I bet you're learning loads there - the ancient Egyptian wizards are fascinating. Make sure you tell me about Egypt when you get back. So have you found out about Harry's feelings? If you're shy, I could always do it for you. Just send an owl when you need me.
Love, Hermione.
Ron's heart broke. He couldn't stand it any longer. He HAD to tell Hermione the truth. With trembling fingers, he took a roll of parchment and started writing. Ron wrote a really long letter to Hermione. He included EVERYTHING in his letter. From the day he started liking her to the day he sent the wrong love letter. After writing, Ron quickly sent it before he loses his courage. Ron watch Errol disappear into the dark sky.His heart was pounding like crazy.
"Calm down, Ron. OF COURSE she feels the same way," he thought.
Ron couldn't sleep that night. He tried counting black cats, reading, and he tried to put a spell on himself. Nothing could get Hermione out of his mind. At three am in the morning, Ron finally gave up. He just sat in bed eating chocolate frogs and he thought about Hermione.
--------------------------------------------------------
Ron was sleeping soundly when something heavy fell on his face. He couldn't breathe. Ron quickly sat up and saw an unconscious Errol on his bed. Errol was back! Ron untied the parchment and dump Errol in front of his water dish. Ron slowly unrolls the parchment but he quickly rolls it up again. He was just too nervous. He put the parchment down and stared at it. What if he rejected her? What if she hates him and will never speak to him again? Why oh WHY did he send the letter to her. To open or not to open?
"Oh what the hell." He thought as he read it. His expression changed when he read the letter. It said.....
