Sorry this took so long, been so busy! I should have the next chapter of HG SS up soon too.
This 2nd chapter was written by the other author of the story, and we will alternate. It should be interesting, because we both have very different writing styles and support different ships.
Read on!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It was absolutely ridiculous. There he sat in his room, grounded. He, Ronald Weasley, grounded! And for what? Sneaking out in the middle of the night to fly across the country to Hermione's house. And he had thought his mother had been a romantic. ! What about all those stories she had told Ron and his siblings about the sneaking around she and their father had done when they were younger? Hypocrites! Both of them!
Not that the Grangers or even Hermione had been especially pleased when he had shown up on the doorstep.
Now that had been embarrassing. After all that time of working up the nerve to do something… romantic… for Hermione, she had to go and completely chew him out for endangering himself and embarrassing her.
He sighed and stared drearily out the window. Thick clouds drudged near the ground as fat raindrops slid down the window. Perhaps it was best he was grounded—this wasn't the best weather for Quidditch practice.
Something red and blurry zoomed past the window, and Ron swore under his breath. It was his sister Ginny, practicing. And annoying Ron on purpose. So she could fly in the rain. Show off. He almost wished she would get struck by lightning.
Well, he couldn't stare out the window all day. Where was his copy of Flying with the Cannons? He was about to turn around when something, non-Ginny, swooped toward the windowpane. Ron's face broke into a grin. Hedwig! She perched at the window, looking rather pleased at Ron's rush to let her in... He would get in more trouble for this, if his mum found out.
"And absolutely no owls!" she had shrieked while listing everything else he was stricken form doing.
Good thing she had a soft spot in her heart for Harry. And But she didn't need to know about this. He took the roll of paper from Hedwig's outstretched leg. She then fluffed her wet feathers out, scattering water everywhere. Pig hooted excitedly from his cage.
Printer paper, Ron realized. Harry had printed something out with a real Muggle printer! Oh, boy. He was turning into his father. But Ron didn't think Harry had even used a Muggle computer before. Something must be wrong.
Except. . . he quickly looked over the paper. It looked like.like . . . a survey? Was this supposed to be a joke? Or maybe it was in code. . . Harry was warning Ron about something You-Know-Who was up to.
Or it was a joke. Ron wasn't in the mood to worry much about the war. He had nothing to do as it was.
"Let's see," he muttered. "I'm supposed to fill it out myself, and send one back to the person who sent it to me.. . ."
Unfortunately, there was no room below the boring print. Ron ran to his desk and grabbed a good old-fashioned piece of parchment and a quill.
*Okay, here's what
you're supposed to do ...*
Copy, (not forward) this entire e-mail and paste it onto a new E-mail
that
you will send. Change all of the answers so that they apply to You.
Then,
send this to a whole bunch of people you know *INCLUDING* the person who
sent it to you. The theory is that you learn a lot of little known facts
about your friends and family. It's fun and easy. This is
The BLOW OUT

FINAL STUFF!:
What do you think of surveys like this? Entertaining, since I'm grounded.
Now Make up your own question and add it on!
Harry- Craziest thing you've ever done?
Sneaking out to hermione's house!!!
Ron- who do you secretly like?
I can't say, because that person might find out. Basically, if I told you, I'd have to kill you.
~~~~
Ron smiled as he finished up the survey. That was… fun. It took up some time, at least. He read Harry's instructions. He wanted to send it off to a couple of peoplecertain person and Harry, but he only had one copy and the original.. That would be more fun.
A knock came at the door. "Mum sent us to check on you!" Fred's voice called. He opened the door, George right behind him. "What's going on?"
Ron held up the parchment. "Harry sent me a survey. Listen, you guys can do magic. Could you make an extra copy of this?" He still wanted to send one to Dumbledore, as a little prank.wanted to send one back to Harry, like it said.
"Sure," said George, grabbing the paper and barely looking at it.
Now Ron had two copies. One for Hermione—like Harry said—and one for Dumbledorethe sender, Harry. And the one to send back to Harry. He attached Harry's copiey to Hedwig's leg and sent her out. Hopefully poor Pig could handle a flight in this weather… He'd send one to Hermione first.be carrying Ron and Harry's surveys all the way to Hermione's house in nothing short of a tornado.
Only after Pig had flown away did Ron realize how much stuff he had unwittingly told Hermione.…
