Dear Ron, Well, I've always had a little crush on you but I was scared to admit to you because I was afraid of rejection. I never knew you felt the same way about me. I. I'm not sure whether I can do this relationship thingy. I mean. I've never had a boyfriend before and everything. I'm kind of scared. I hope you understand.
Love, Hermione
Ron stared at the letter with his mouth hanging wide open. He was confused. He sat on his bed and he started reading the letter again. He had to reply as quickly as possible because Bill was taking the whole family to a special place and he won't be home the whole day. He took a roll of parchment and wrote:
Dear Hermione, No pressure. I understand that you need time. I just hope we can remain friends at the time being. I'll give you time. I'll be going up to London a week before the term starts. Any chance of meeting you there? I hope you can tell me your answer by then.
Ron
That seems simple enough. He decided to let poor Errol rest. He didn't trust Errol. Errol might faint. He has been sending too many letters lately. Then how is he going to send his reply to Hermione? Hermes. Of course! He sneaked into Percy's room. Luckily Percy wasn't in. It didn't take him long to find Hermes. Percy's room was spotless as usual. There were a few books on the desk. The rest of his stuff was still inside his trunk. Percy has always been a neat freak. He tied the parchment around Hermes. Hermes hooted and flew away. Ron went downstairs for breakfast.
-------------------------------------------
Ron felt better after breakfast (Hoochi-Coochi cereal).
"What are we doing today?" Ron asked after breakfast.
"Rita Skeeter wants to do a story about us. We're supposed to meet her today," Mrs. Weasley replied.
"Great! I'll be famous!" Ron cried.
"You wish!" Percy retorted." I'm sure Rita Skeeter will want to interview me. I am the new Head Boy after all," he said arrogantly.
Ron rolled his eyes. Percy was really getting annoying.
---------------------------------------------
Ron stood there thinking about Hermione. Hermione actually LIKED him. He knew it! Now he needs to find a way to convince Hermione that he, Ronald Weasley can make her happy. He just needs one good reason.
"RON!" Ginny shouted. "COME ON! THEY WANT TO TAKE OUR PICTURE FOR THE DAILY PROPHET!"
Ron quickly walked and stood in the middle of his whole family. He wanted Hermione to notice him when she reads the Daily Prophet.
"Okay, everyone SMILE!" the photographer said.
"WAIT!" Ron cried. He quickly put Scabbers on his shoulder. "Okay, I'm ready."
The photographer rolled his eyes and said, "Say Cheesesawhappa!"
All nine Weasleys waved and grinned at the same time.
"Thank you. Thank you," the photographer said as he walked away.
"Hey, where's Rita Skeeter?" Percy asked in a disappointed voice."Isn't she doing a story on us?"
"Oh, she interviewed me just before we came to Egypt," Mr. Weasley said.
"NO! There goes my chance of fame," Percy mumbled to himself.
"Aw. Poor Percy. Rita Skeeter didn't interview the Head Boy," Fred said loudly.
"Come here, Percy. Let Georgie comfort you," George said as he open his arms as though he was going to give Percy a big hug.
Percy scowled and walked away, muttering to himself.
"You boys better stop teasing poor Percy," Mrs. Weasley scolded.
"Sure mom. Anything you say." The twins gave her their most angelic smile.
Mrs. Weasley rolled her eyes and went to talk to Charlie who only came to Egypt yesterday.
Ron just stood there, staring at the pyramid. His mind was on Hermione. He still hadn't found an excuse yet.
"Hey everyone, Bill is taking us to this special muggle place where we all can actually roast our own lamb for lunch," Mr. Weasley said. He was grinning and his eyes were twinkling. He just loved muggles. It would be great if he could actually experience the way muggle Egyptians lived.
"Great! I'm starving!" Ginny chirped.
Everyone was hungry. Bill wouldn't let anyone eat anything for breakfast. He caught Fred and George who were trying to sneak some Chocolate Frogs into their room. Bill brought them to a place called RYOL(Roast Your Own Lamb). The whole family (especially Mr. Weasley) had fun roasting lambs. They had a lamb each. Ron's lamb was burnt. He was too busy thinking of Hermione that he didn't realize that his lamb was on fire. To make things worse, he accidentally poured a whole bucket of oil on his lamb. His lamb was completely burnt. After burning his second lamb, Bill decided to roast the lamb for him. As usual the twins would leave him alone. Ron was so embarrassed. He didn't feel hungry anymore.
After that they went camel riding. This was a new experience for the whol family. Everyone had fun except Ginny who was complaining that camels were smelly. Ginny vomited after the ride. The ride was too bumpy for her to handle.
The next night, Ron decided to send Harry his birthday present. Hopefully, the present will reach him on time. Ron had to use Errol. Hermes still hadn't return from England(Hermione was back).
"This will have to do. I'm sure Harry wouldn't mind," Ron mumbled. He couldn't be bothered to wrap it again.
He wrote a letter and put it into an envelope. He rummaged through his stack of papers and found the article that Rita Skeeter did about the Weasley family. He took the carefully cut article and slid it into the envelope as well. He licked the end of the envelope and sealed it. Before he wrapped the present, he wrote a note for him. He knew that Harry was clueless about wizard stuff. Then he took a piece of gold-coloured paper and started to wrap the pocket Sneakoscope. After half an hour of rewrapping, he gave up. He decided to leave the present looking like a squashed snitch. At least Harry won't be able to guess what his present was. Ron put the envelope and gift together and wrapped it again with brown paper.
"Errol, come here."
As Ron was trying to tie the parcel onto Errol's leg, the Sneakoscope went haywire.
"Oh no!"
He quickly tied the parcel onto Errol's leg and shooed Errol out before everyone woke up. Errol hooted and flew into the night. Ron watched Errol. The parcel was lighting up and there was a loud whistling coming from it.
