Chapter 5
"And this is our apartment." Harry announced as they walked through the apartment door, his arm in an unnecessary gesture. He was wearing his beige designer shirt and blue jeans Angelina was next through the door. She was dressed in black, a black low cut top, leather pants and too much eye shadow.
"Sure is beautiful !" She said before stepping aside and allowing Katie through. Katie looked a little more causal, like she had thrown on anything she could find. She wore a pale blue long sleeve shirt with the sleeves rolled up and a pair of fade brown trousers.
"And big." She added. Ron was last in. He wore his usual clothes accompanied by a very bored expression. The same expression he had worn all night. They had started talking about Quiditch, which had been fine, but then they had moved onto clothes, the ministry and through the film, their lifes. Ron sighed as he got in and didn't bother to say anything. He hoped that Hermione would come and rescue him at any moment. Swoop him away into her room so that he didn't have to listen to the trio waffle on about nonsense any longer. But Hermione wasn't home and slowly Ron walked his way over to the sofa where Katie sat down with him.
"So Ron," She began, Ron made for the remote, "Which rooms yours ?"
"The one next to the bathroom," Ron muttered before flicking on the TV, it was quarter past twelve, so Ron flicked on some old movie about a kid with leukaemia. "Can I see it ?" Ron new exactly what she meant and replied with the weakest hint of a joke,
"Sure" And didn't move. There was a pop behind them and giggling followed by Harry's voice.
"Who wants some wine ?" he asked. Ron ignored him and Katie stood up to join them. All Ron could think about was where Hermione was.

"Umm.."Hermione pondered the question for a moment before answering, "Malfoy." Ginny giggled tipping a more tea in Hermione's cup.
"See, I would have said Neville."
"Really," Hermione muttered before looking sat the clock it was half past twelve. When Ron and Harry hadn't got home by ten Hermione had gone for a walk to sort out what she would say to Ron. Then she had seen Ginny was up and apperated to see her. They had been talking about who had the best what at Hogwarts. Hermione had been surprised to find Ginny thought Dumbledore had the most dreamy smile and Ginny had been even more surprised by Hermione's answer of Draco for best eyes. "Well I'd best be off soon." Hermione muttered. Jerald joined them scratching his head and Ginny apologised for waking him. Jerald flapped a hand at her as if to say that it didn't matter then turned to Hermione.
"What did Ron say ?" He asked, getting himself a coffee.
"That's where I'm going now," Hermione added, "But what if he's gone to bed ?" It was half an hour into Monday.
"Even better," Ginny joked with a wink before hugging Jerald around the middle. Hermione laughed, but she wasn't sure that was the best place to tell Ron that she loved him.

Tonks sat up in bed. She wanted to see Harry. Their evening had been great and she couldn't wait to see him again when she got in. But he hadn't been in at eight and Hermione claimed he would be back later at nine. It was now half past twelve. A little late for a visit. Tonks stared at the first hand on her clock as it made it's clear yet stop and start way around the clock. A present form Molly. Whenever it was time to do something the clock would tell you so.
"You should pop over there dear," The clock said surprising Tonks. She stared at it for a while then slid out of bed.
"Go over where ?" She said to the clock, although it seemed she had already made up her mind where she was going as she slipped on a pair off jeans.
"To see that boy, that you had the date with," The clock said, "Friday, Six o'clock, you were ten minutes late." Tonks stared at the clock. It seemed to remember every date Tonks had ever told it too. But then again, that was it's job.
"Fine I will Tonks added," Slipping on a bright pink top and changing her hair to match. "Be back in about an hour."
"1:32 it is then," the clock said. "See ya."
