"I so cannot believe you just did that Eliza." Hermione exclaimed as

Eliza took her seat next to Ron. "Yea I don't know whether to be

really afraid, really impressed or really weirded out by you now."

Ron said shaking his head. Eliza took his hand, not for the first

time that day, and squeezed it reasuringly. "Luna and I are going to

be friends now. Don't worry I won't force you guys to be friends

with that Draco Malfoy fellow. You seem to not like him too much."

Ron smiled and decided now would not be a good time to tell her all

about their amazing tales with ferret boy. He was lost in his

daydreaming about that day when Draco when his attention was snapped

back when Eliza said, "I don't see what you people have against him.

He seems nice enough, polite, sharp dresser, very nice hair, good

looking boy that Draco Malfoy..." "WHAT?!" Harry and Ron yelled

simultaniously. "Just checking to see if you guys were still awake."

Eliza said mischeviously. "Well, while you two go off into dreamland

again, I'm gonna steal Eliza and have a good girl talk, ok? ok bye."

Hermione jumped up and grabbed Eliza and they were off. "So.."

Hermione started, "You like Ron huh?" Eliza stopped in her

tracks, "Wha, what?" "I can tell you do, it's ok, he's a really

sweet guy, just a good friend of mine of course. I'm partial to

harry myself." "Wait, wait, you like Harry? Oh that is the cutest

thing ever! I have to get you two together." Eliza exclaimed,

clearly excited about this new discovery. "Alright, well if you get

to get me with Harry, then it's only fair that I get you with Ron.

Deal?" Eliza looked at Hermione's outstretched hand and thought

*what they heck, I do like Ron, what could it hurt?* She shook

Hermione's hand, "Deal." As they made their way back to the table

Eliza couldn't help but think to herself, *what have I gotten myself

into?*
