Ch 2 Ron and Hermione's morning

This is the second chapter. Read and review please. I only got one review and I was hoping for more. If the reviews stop I'll stop writing this one let me know what you think.

While Harry was still getting over his nightmare Ron and Hermione was heading down to breakfast.

"Good morning Ron,"

"Morning Hermione," Ron answered as he met her on the landing. He bent down and gave her a kiss on the cheek. They headed down to breakfast hand in hand.

When they entered the kitchen they found Mrs. Weasly and Lupin talking quietly and hurriedly. When the two entered they stopped abruptly waving good morning to them both.

"Talking about Voldermort or Harry?" asked Ron sitting down across from his mother. Hermione sitting at his right. "Because that's all anyone ever talks about anymore. Just tell us. Please!"

"You are not in the order and we will inform you on anything that you need to know. Now have some bacon and eggs," replied Mrs. Weasly sliding the plate toward Ron. Ron rolled his eye at Hermione loading his plate with eggs.

"Have you heard from Harry?' asked Lupin as he did every morning. They both knew that if Harry wasn't heard from for three days. The whole order would go and check on him.

"Yes, Lupin yesterday. Trust us we will let you know if we have any reason to doubt Harry's all right. Pass me the bacon please," responded Hermione as she did every morning. They both knew it was no use but they tried more the less.

"Are Fred and George coming over for dinner tonight?" asked Ron with a hopeful tone. He hadn't seen them for two days and sorely missed their pranks even if they were mostly on him.

"Yes, but don't accept anything from them I have learned my lesson about those two," she said with an angry glint in her eye. She still hadn't forgotten about the jewelry.

"So when are we going to rescue Harry?" Ron asked

"Ron, stop it! You know what Dumbledore said now stop asking stupid questions and finish your breakfast!" exclaimed Mrs. Weasly flicking her wand and more eggs cracked over the fire.

"Sorry, just wonderin?" replied Ron finishing his eggs and rising from the table. "Hermione and I are gonna do out back."

"Alright but don't go beyond the house." Called Mrs. Weasly's voice at their retreating backs.

Ron and Hermione left the kitchen, tiptoed past Sirius's mum's picture and finished the length of the corridor stepping out the door. The courtyard was just as run down as the rest of the house. The grass was overgrown, weeds dominated the sickly flower bed and a broken, cracked, stone bench provided them a space to sit. No one saw them because of the high ivy covered stone wall that surrounded the garden.

Ron sighed and put his head in his hands as he sat down.

"What's wrong?" asked Hermione sitting down beside him.

"Nothing major," he replied seeing the worried look on her face "It's just what kind of friends are we?"

"What do you mean?" asked Hermione placing her hand on his knee comfortably.

"About Harry!" he replied angrily

Hermione's eyes widened with understanding. Ron did this every now and then, asked if he was a horrible friend for leaving Harry at the Dursley alone, especially after what happened to Sirius the previous year. She let him talk and get it all out.

"I mean come on. It's been a month and all we ever say is what we are doing here. That's not very interesting but probably better then what he's doing. We left him alone with all that guilt and sorrow over Sirius. I feel just horrible," he paused took a rattling breath and continued, "I know Dumbledore said he's safer there then here and I don't need my mom to keep telling me that," he finished sulkily looking up at Hermione for a response.

"Well he is and I know you don't agree but what's more important his safety or his happiness?" asked Hermione staring straight at Ron.

"Well I guess his safety but I really want him to be happy." He replied sitting up

"I know, I know," replied Hermione hugging Ron. After a minute they stood up and walked over the dead dried up grass to the cool dark interior that was headquarters.

That's the end of the second chapter next the rescue
