If Rons had acted strangely at lunch it was nothing to the erratic behavior that followed. He followed Eloise through the corridors to her classes like a love sick puppy dog making him late for all the rest of his classes. Harry passed her himself on the way to gryffindor common room to get ready for dinner and over heard part of her conversation with a fellow hufflepuff.

"I wonder if they have school restraining orders?" Harry groaned. Poor Ron. And all attempts to talk some sense into him had failed.

"Listen Ron," explained Hermione for what seemed like the hundredth time, "Maybe you shouldn't reveal your 'undying love' for her until a few hours or a few days (I'm not sure which) goes by. Please? I think you might... er.... understand your feelings better then"

They had given up trying to tell him that Fred and George's "affection confection" was the cause of his newfound love. He simply wouldn't have it. He told them that they just couldn't understand, Hermione called him a drama queen, Harry stayed out of it, Ron yelled at Hermione, Hermione yelled at Ron, Harry stayed out of it, and it all climaxed at Ron and Hermione not talking to each other and Harry with a Headache. Before Ron stormed off for dinner he had announced loudly that he was going to do something about all this at dinner. Fred and George snickerd from the corner of the commen room.

"Hermione why did you have to provoke him!" Harry sighed.

"Oh go on Harry, side with Ron even when he's delusional!" snapped Hermione angrily.

"I'm not trying to side with anyone. I'm starved think we should go down to dinner now?"

"I'm sorry for snapping at you Harry. Yes I'm starving. I'm a little nervous of what Ron might do."

"If it gets to bad in there we can always put a full-body-bind on him or something."
