Ron Weasley was often the odd one in the family. He was the middle child, and that sometimes had an impact on him. He had an annoying little owl named Pig, that never shut-up. He once had a geeky, gangly form, but now his form was muscular and lean from playing Quidditch. Also, he had recently spiked his messy, flaming red hair.

He was recognized, mainly, by being friends with the famous Harry Potter, which, most of the time, didn't bother him. Also, Quidditch skills were obviously passed down to him, so that got him some stardom, in bad and good ways. (A/N: "Weasley is our King") He finally had a girlfriend too! Her name was Susan Bones, and she loved him so much, and he loved her. They had started going out this summer, and even his mother approved. Lastly, he was a prefect, and his parents loved him for that.

It was a rainy, cold summer day, noon to be exact, and Ron was still asleep, snoring loud enough for the whole house to hear him. He was having his frequent nightmare about dancing with Padama Patil at the Yule Ball.

"Ron? Ron?" Somebody muttered sweetly.

"Get away from me you $#!!!!" Ron muttered into the pillow.

"Ronald Weasley wake-up this instant!" Shouted the same voice, not so pleasant now.

Ron opened his eyes a crack, and saw that the voice had come from his mother, looking like a lion that had not eaten for a month. "Oh, it's you" he replied, he fell back asleep.

"Honestly!" muttered Mrs. Weasley, and then she smiled an evil smile, and made water shoot from her wand, right in Ron's face.

"AAAAAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!" yelped Ron, jumping a mile.

"About time you're awake, now lunch is on the table, then when you're done, clean your room, because Harry's coming tomorrow, and then do your schoolwork, and apologize for what you said." Mrs. Weasley said, all in one breath.

"Okay, okay! Sorry! I was talking in my sleep!" cried Ron, flinging his arms up in the air.

His mother slammed his door, and he changed into a pair of jeans and a Chudley Cannons tee shirt. Then he dragged his feet down to the table, where Ginny sat, reading the Daily Prophet.

"About time you're awake." Ginny said, over the paper.

"Roo found hust ike Bom." said Ron, through a mouthful of corned beef sandwich.

"Sorry, I don't speak sandwich." declared Ginny, looking at him, queerly.

Ron swallowed and said," You sound just like Mom", he groaned, taking another bite.

Ginny grinned and said, "Like mother, like daughter, oh, by the way, this came for you." She was holding out a letter addressed to him.

"Gimmie that!" he snarled, snatching the letter.

Dearest Ronnie,

I hope you are having a splendid summer! How's your work coming? I finished all of mine the first two weeks of break. I miss you so much!

I'm here in Spain with my mum, dad, and older brothers, for another week. The sights are amazing! The language is sweet, and the costumes are spectacular. We saw a bull fight, but I thought it was too violent. It is so hot here though! Nearly every day, the temperature is above 90 degrees. (A/N I know that the don't use our way of telling the temperature, but I don't know how to write out Celsius.) The cathedrals remind me of Hogwarts, because they are so grand. We even met some wizard tourists from America!

Anyway, I miss you so much, and I can't wait until school starts again. Please write back! XXXOOO

All my love,

Susan

Ron read the letter, and then trudged back upstairs to his room, after he finished eating. As he was cleaning, he began thinking. Sure, he loved Susan and all, but when they kissed, no fireworks went off inside of him. There was someone else he had in mind.

Her name was Cho Chang.

He remembered that he was so jealous when she and Harry had been together. He had done his best to put on a happy act whenever Harry talked about her, and he thought he had done a pretty good job. He loved the way her perfect, wavy, black hair fell to her waist, and he especially loved it when she flung it around. He loved it when she smiled, and her perfectly straight white teeth glittered.

A knock on the door interrupted his thoughts. Ginny strode in, blushing madly.

"What do you want?" asked Ron annoyed.

"Like my poster?" Ginny questioned shyly. It was a poster that changed colors every ten seconds and had the words WELCOME BACK HARRY on it.

Ron quietly laughed and looked Ginny straight in the eye and said, "Yes Ginny, it's very.... er...eye-catching!"

"Thanks!" Ginny smiled brightly, and skipped out of his room.

Ron sighed loudly as he started his Potions essay, while the rain splattered on his window, and the ghoul howled in the attic.

Three weeks later, Cho was in her room, thrilled because her schoolwork was done. School started in a week, and she was sad because it was her last year. She would be captain of the Ravenclaw Quidditch team, and she was ecstatic. It was a warm evening and she was reading Witch Weekly, eating popcorn and was listening to the Weird Sisters' new hit single "Magic in the Air".

An elegant owl flew through her open window, and landed on her desk chair. Cho smiled and walked over to the owl, petted it, took the letter, as it took off into the evening sky. As Cho opened the letter, something fell out. As she bent over to retrieve whatever fell, she was lost for words. It was a Head Girl badge.

"MUM! DAD! LIN! I'M THE NEW HEAD GIRL!!!!!" screamed Cho, flying down the stairs. Her parents were so happy for her, and were so proud of her, as they all read the letter that came with the badge.

Dear Ms. Chang,

We are pleased to inform you that you have been selected as Hogwart's new Head Girl. Enclosed is your badge. On behalf of the rest of the staff and myself, we congratulate you on your new title. Please come to the informational meeting on the Hogwarts Express at 1:00 p.m. in the prefects' compartment. Enclosed is also your supply list for your seventh year.

Term begins September 1st, as usual, and the train leaves from Platform 9 ¾ at eleven o' clock sharp. We look forward to a new year, with you as our Head Girl.

Sincerely,

Minerva McGonagall

Minerva McGonagall

Deputy Headmistress

Cho went to bed a few hours later, still full of shock and happiness. Her head was spinning, and she was still processing everything. It was going to be an interesting year. Still, she thought, if only Cedric was here to share her excitement.
