The next two weeks were hell for Ron. Harry and Hermione visited every few days. They brought Chocolate Frogs and Bertie Blots Every Flavor Beans, Sugar Quills, Lemon Drops, and every other type of candy they were able to find at Huneydules. Nothing seemed to cheer him up.
"Ron, get over her already!" Harry insisted.
"Yeah, Ron, it's two days to the start of term. Pull yourself together."
"You don't understand," He insisted, "There is no one like her. She's beautiful, smart, caring, sensitive, trusting, a good listener, funny, and just flat out amazing. She's absolutely perfect. She's more than anything I've ever dreamt of. Angel's have less marvel and beauty compared to Mandy. I've never cared about anything before in my life. I've changed this summer. I'm different- and she did that to me. She loved me the way I was and I followed her and she taught me to be better then what I already was. She never tried to change me. She only tried to teach me."
"Well, I wish she were here to teach you how to get over her." Harry said.
Hermione elbowed him hard, "You'll get over this, Ron; I know you will. You're strong enough."
"How about a round of chess?" Harry asked.
"Harry, you're terrible at chess. Where would the challenge be? But, Mandy, she could play chess."
"I hate that they have laws against underage wizards using magic outside of school." Hermione said, "If they didn't, this would be easy. I'd stun you every time you even said her name and you'd forget about her real quick."
"You guys are still going to be friends with her, right?" Ron asked ignoring Hermione's tirade.
"Of course." Hermione laughed, "If we're not here trying you to get over her, we're at her house trying to get her over you."
"If she loves me so much why doesn't she-?"
"Get over it? She's mad at you. She hates herself for it but, she can't help it. She sits there reading, about fifteen owls that you'd sent, over and over again." Harry said.
"Does she by any chance wear a necklace?" Ron asked.
"The same silver cross that she's always worn." Hermione replied.
"Nothing new?"
"No."
"Oh, okay. You guys better get out of here. I need to finish my summer homework; see you at the start of term."
"Ron, get over her already!" Harry insisted.
"Yeah, Ron, it's two days to the start of term. Pull yourself together."
