Chapter 3: Ginny's Cover-up
Just then Hermione and Ron came into the Great Hall. "Oh we missed the mail," said Ron sadly. "I told you we should have left the library sooner." "I'm sorry Ron but you need to start studying a little more if you want to do well on your N.E.W.Ts . Forgive me for caring," said Hermione like she really wasn't sorry.
Ron shook his head ignoring her and turned to Harry. "Oy what's wrong Harry?" he asked. Harry looked at Ron then at Ginny then back to Ron. "I found something in the Daily Prophet," he said. "Really? What is it about?" asked Ron. "Well-" started Harry as if he was not sure how to say it. "Oh he just found out that the Ministry suggested for Dementors to be placed back here at Hogwarts to protect the school. But don't worry Dumbledore told them no," said Ginny. Harry was surprised that she covered for him. He still was not sure if he wanted everyone to know that he knew Hazel was alive. "Isn't that right Harry?" asked Ginny. "Er.right," said Harry. "That's odd of them. Dumbledore made himself quite clear that no more Dementors would be allowed back into this school," said Hermione. "Er..yeah. Oh well. Listen I am going to go study a little bit more before that Charms test. I will see you guys later," said Harry as he got up. "Well would you like some help?" asked Hermione happily. "Oh no. I think I can manage. Bye Ron," said Harry. Ron was beginning to look distant and Harry figured that his cheering charm was starting to run weak already. Ron did not say 'bye". Harry understood. He gave Hermione a look that said, "fix him,"
Hermione just put her hand on her forehead and motioned for Harry to walk on.
Harry could hear Hermione talking to Ron in the distance. "I swear you are becoming more and more resistant to this," said Hermione as she pulled out a small vial that contained the potion. Then she said to Ginny," It's like he has grown an immune system to it," and she handed it to Ron.
By now Harry had walked too far to hear them. He was on his way to the kitchen.
