Ch1 - Ron's way of fixing his life
~thoughts~ "speech"
The summer was over. Ron was heading back to Hogwarts for his sixth year. Ron was upset and anxious because his friends hardly mailed him and he hasn't seen them. Harry wasn't allowed to come over by Dumbledore and Hermione kept refusing. They both didn't mail often and only did when Ron made Pig, his owl; poke them until they wrote a response.
During the summer, Ron decided that after the welcome feast, he would take Hermione to the gardens outside Hogwarts. They would be all lit and beautiful. He would take her for a walk and confess his love then. It would be perfect. Then, maybe his life could take a turn for the better.
Ron spotted Hermione and Harry chatting in the distance. He saw Harry shoo off some first year who was clearly trying to see if he was really Harry Potter. Hermione was cheerfully explaining about her prefect duties to a third year. Ron said good-bye to his family and walked off to join Hermione and harry. Ron vaguely saw Ginny run off to Colin Creevey and a few other fifth years and Fred an George ran off to talk to Lee Jordan.
Ron took a deep breath. ~Here we go~
"Ron!' cried harry enthusiastically, finally seeing Ron.
"Harry, Hermione!" called Ron back just as enthusiastically.
"How was your summer Ron?" asked Harry
"Okay, mom got really mad at Fred and George since they bought a place for their joke shop. She just saw it. We went to see it too, it's really cool, lots of gadgets. I wonder where they got the money, *cough* Harry* cough*. She had a fit! Percy came home but thankfully stayed in his room away from all of us working. The rest of the summer was pretty boring. It would have been better if you guys would have come...' Ron stopped and looked pointedly at Harry and Hermione.
"You know Dumbledore wouldn't let me come. I would've come if I could've come." said Harry. Harry had become way more accepting about what happened the last year and decided to try and enjoy himself and worry less. He got over Sirius' death and was much happier.
They turned to Hermione for an answer.
"you see," she stuttered," I wanted to come, yes I did, I mean it's just that, um, I was, um, with, er, homework!" she finished enthusiastically.
Both boys raised their eyebrows and started at her.
"What?" she exclaimed, "There is only a year and some until NEWTS!"
Ron and Harry burst out laughing, although Ron's was somewhat forced. Just like Hermione to work and study over the break.
"But that doesn't explain..."
A bell rang. The Hogwarts express was getting ready to leave. They ran four the train. They found an empty compartment and sat down.
"so what were you saying Ron? What doesn't explain what?" Harry asked, genuinely curious.
Hermione looked around the compartment nervously as if expecting to find a way to escape.
"Why didn't you answer my letters. Do not tell me you were doing homework Hermione, you could have taken two minutes and wrote me a letter."
"Yes well, I erm, well..." Hermione trailed off
"Pig got pooped and Hedwig was off to snuffles. Pig got mad because I took to long. Then my uncle got mad cause the owls were too loud and barred my windows again. I couldn't get Hedwig inside. She's meeting me at Hogwarts."
"Fine, and you Hermione?"
"I well, I was busy. I had, er, lots of work and, ~think Hermione think~ I , I never got your letters."
"What?!?! screamed Ron "Pig always came back without letters. And, Pig came back from YOUR house. I could tell, Pig smelt like you. "
"What?!?!" screamed Hermione. now it was her turn to be surprised.
"Spill' said Harry and Ron.
But before she could, Ron's least favorite person decided to drop by.
"Well if it isn't Weasley, potter and Granger" drawled Malfoy.
"Sod off Malfoy," said Harry and Ron simultaneously.
Hermione was being surprisingly quiet.
" I don't think I will. I came here because McGonagall told me to come to get Granger. She said something about "extra work" and for me to find her. Like I would come to see you anyway. Come along Granger."
"Okay" said Hermione quickly and walked out.
~Hermione seemed rather happy to leave. Also, did Malfoy want to see her?~ thought Harry.
Harry looked puzzled so Ron decided to ask what's up.
"What Harry, something weird?" asked Ron.
"Yeah," said Harry, "Malfoy was being nice."
"Oh really Harry, Malfoy was the same git he always was. Don't dwell on it. He can't change."
" I guess" said Harry.
And with that, the conversation was changed rapidly to Quidditch.
HP POV:
Even though they were talking about Quidditch, Harry's mind was on Malfoy and Hermione. ~Hmmm. was Malfoy really acting the same? He came in, didn't shoot any rude comments, called us by our names and asked for Hermione. Hermione seemed amore than eager to leave, especially when he asked her to. Is there something going on??? This is not right. Ron didn't seem to notice anything. I wonder what he's thinking about. hmm... red face weird expression, yup! he's thinking about some girl. he is oblivious to everything.
~Oh well, if I look too much into Ron's buisiness he will just get mad. I should just leave him alone~ thought harry
GENERAL POV:
The train was beginning to slow down. Harry and Ron changed into their uniforms and waited for Hermione but there was no sign of her. They waited and looked around but she wasn't anywhere on the train that they could see. Harry and Ron gave up looking and the train arrived at Hogsmeade station. Harry and Ron got out of the train and made their ways to a horseless cariage. (or now known as a thestral drawn carriage). Hermione was still nowhere to be seen. Harry and Ron went inside Hogwarts and made their way to the great hall and the Gryffindor table. Hermione joined them moments later. Just then, Dumbledore stood up to give start of year announcements.
Well, that's it for now. I hope to update more often.. and my other stories will be updated soon.. No more exams yay! So yeah, Review!!!
(you will find out about what happens to ron in chapter two or three.. be patient)
