"What in the WORLD just happened?!" Eliza shouted, causing everyone
in the Great Hall to turn and look at her.
Ron didn't reply but instead walked up to her and kissed her gently
on the cheek.
"It doesn't matter what happened in there. All that matters is that
we're together now."
They stood there in silence for some bit until Ron broke it with a
question.
"Eliza, what was up with your ring back in there?"
Eliza stepped back with a confused look on her face.
"What?" She asked.
"Your ring was going all pink and blue and yellow and weird, crazy
colors. What happened?"
"What ring?"
Ron reached down and took Eliza's left hand in his and brought it
up, pointing to the ring she always wore on her ring finger.
"It was weird, is it ok?" Ron asked.
Eliza started laughing.
"Ron, thats such a silly question to ask about a ring. Of course
it's ok! I've had this ring for as long as I can remember, my
grandmother gave it to me. Sometimes I forget I'm wearing it. It's
like a part of me somewhat."
Ron smiled and pulled her in for another hug. They stood like that
for some time until Eliza remembered something.
"Oh goodness!" she cried looking around, "Where are Hermione and
Harry? Luna better not have done the same thing to them as she did
to us."
Eliza was now panicking, rushing back and forth looking for any
sight of Harry or Hermione, but was stopped by Ron placing a hand on
her shoulder.
"Relax, they're right over there. They look mighty close if you ask
me."
"Oh thank God!" Eliza breathed out, relieved. "Let's go see them
shall we?"
They walked hand in hand over to where Harry and Hermione were
seated.
Once they were within hearing distance, Harry called out:
"Looks like you two made up. Or should I say, made out?"
Ron turned a very unflattering shade of red but kept his head up.
"Looks the same over here to me, Potter!" Eliza shouted back with a
grin, giving Ron's hand a squeeze.
Hermione slowly stood and faced Eliza.
Eliza just stood for a moment, unsure of what her next move should
be when she decided to just go for it.
She pulled Hermione in for a long hug and began pouring out her
apology.
"Oh Hermione! I'm so SO sorry! You know I would never intentionally
hurt you or stab you in the back. But now you probably hate me!"
"Hate you? Eliza hun, I love you more than ever right now! If it
weren't for this whole thing, I would even be with Harry now!"
Hermione turned a bit pink after saying this and it was only
worsened by Harry placing a kiss upon her cheek.
"Well, well, well. Don't we make a pretty picture? I'm sure you'll
all be voted "Couple of the week" in this Hogwarts Weekly." A nasty
voice sounded from behind the group.
Eliza whipped around to stand face to face with that girl from
Potions class the other day: Severiana.
She was eyeing something on Eliza but Eliza couldn't exactly figure
out where. She was about to ask when Severiana asked for herself.
"May I see your ring Elijah?"
"It's Eliza actually." Ron hissed.
"Why would you want to see my ring?" Eliza asked, confused.
"Well it's a very lovely ring, could I just have a look?"
"I'm still not sure why you need to see it." Eliza started backing
away from the advancing girl.
"Wherever did you find such a lovely piece of jewlery?" She asked,
coming closer and closer.
"My grandmother."
"Oh, and who might that be?"
"I honestly don't see how it concerns you. Look, you don't even know
me, so why should I be standing here telling you all about my family
history?" Eliza said, suddenly very annoyed with the girl.
Then, her ring turned a brilliant shade of red, sending Severiana
rushing out of the Hall to get away from the blinding light.
"That was mighty interesting." Eliza said, turning to look at the
Slytherin table.
Janie and Luna were both sitting at the table, watching her with
knowing looks.
