Chapter 3

Ron glanced at himself as the train went back to Hogwarts. He turned on his cell, listened to him messages.. He just about died. Why was she making this so hard for him? He wanted her to stay, but he was just going to have to drop out of school to be with her. His parents wouldn't fly with that. He knew them too well. They would think it was stupid to like some girl so much to drop out of school for her.

But he would. She wasn't just any girl. She was amazing. This same girl saw him for who he was, and fell for him before he made stupid changes so girls would like him. And she loved it when he said 'mates'. How would he act in school? What about all her friends??

A week went by with him as miserable as before.

As he sat down in his seat during Charms, he thought about her.

'I'm gonna visit my babe this weekend.'

After charms was let out for the day, he traveled to the station as older students often did to visit their families.



When he got to Vancouver, he realized he had never been to Canada. He called up Oliver.

"Yeah?"

"Oliver?"

"Yeah who's this?"

"Ron."

"Oh, shit. Des isn't around right now."

"What? Where is she?"

"She went out with some of her home buds. Call up her cell."

"Thanks."

He called her up almost right away.

She answered very quickly.

"Yeah?"

"Babe."

"Aw, hey sweets. How are ya?"

"Miserable."

"Ron, you been goin to class?"

"Meet me at the south end station. Now."

"Wha- Where are you?"

"I don't have my id."

"Oh, k. I'll get you one. Be there in a few."

As Ron waited, he noticed two very familiar faces get off the train after him.

One was most likely Hermione. She always found out where he was. But the other? Must be someone he's never seen before. But definitely one of her friends. They rushed toward Ron very quickly.

"Ron!"

"What are YOU doing here?"

"I just wanted to visit my grandma.."

"Uh huh." Ron knew Hermione had thought this up on the train ride. "She isn't here yet."

"She isn't? Wait! Who isn't?"

"Des."

Hermione looked up at him and mouthed something.

'Don't say her name'

He was confused, but he went along with it.

"Oh Ron, I truly am sorry, Lavender, you have met Ron, right?"

Ron was confused. Lavender had light brown hair, but today it was golden blonde.

"Uh yeah. I have. Hi." She blushed and them looked down at her shoe, afraid what would happen next.

Ron turned around."Well I really better be going."

Lavender grabbed his arm as he turned. "I thought that we could hang."

He looked at her. She was serious. Where had she been for the past year? Couldn't she see that he had a girlfriend?

He had to admit Lavender did look different in a nice way. But he had to be somewhere.

"Sorry, But I really do have to be going. Bye Herm."

Hermione gagged at the sound of her stupid nickname, and dragged Lavender with her.

"Ron, why don't we all at least go to lunch together?"

"No can do, I-"

A canadien voice spoke out behind him. "Sure, why the heck not?
